[costill92rs]

[costill92rs]

or these?

[costill92rs]

home made cold air for tbi

[costill92rs]

here is how the camaro looked when i bought it, before i made this worse. i did put another hood on it and pulled the bumper back out to "make it more driveable for the time being" (that turned into two years :( )
the car was a daily driver and my only vehicle for about 8 months during that time
sorry about the quality, i had to cut down the resoulutuon to get it to fit

[costill92rs]

sorry for you guys that are on dialup
here is what is left from the 1991 z28, blown engine+much body work needed = part it out and have it hauled away...

[costill92rs]

did make for an excellent paintball target though :thumbup:

[costill92rs]

luckily i got the firebird wheels for free, so i could keep the z rims, allowing me to trade those for some 85-87 irocs :)

[costill92rs]

idiot on a car...

[costill92rs]

Did they paint every 92 Camaro that ugly ass teal color? That's all I ever see for sale. :conf:

[TPI383]

I have 2 fenders if you need em man. e-mail me
I have a front bumper cover and lower gfx also if needed. They both need striped and painted but are in good condition. I wouldnt say GREAT. but no rips etc in the cover and 1 small corner rip in the GFX thats a easy fix.

i actually wanted purple haze metallic, but the teal one was a way better deal not my fave color either, but it grows on you a little

where were you 2 months ago when i still needed a drivers fender? i believe i have most of the parts i need, but i will keep you in mind if im missing something. where are you located btw?

[unf0rgiven920]

did you get any horsepower gains from that cold air intake? any noticeable performance increase? nice car by the way. looks like mine except mines black :raz:

[chainsaw]

mike, i live about 15 minutes from tpi. he lives 5 minutes from i-80

[Mkos1980]

I went to Thirdgen Nats in 03. Where did you stay? Erin and I stayed at the Hampton

[TPI383]

i'll know when the bumper goes back on and i can start driving it again, it prob. wont flow quite as well as an open element, but you get cool outside air instead of hot underhood air.

[costill92rs]

the hampton was all booked up when i tried to find a hotel (i have this problem with procrastination), i don't remember the name. here is a view from outside some of the people that stayed there
i have a decent amount of phots i think i sent rob a disk (if not let me know ill send you one just let me know)

[chainsaw]

nah, i think i forgot to send you my mailing address....

looking at that photo, i think i recognize two of the cars in the upper row.

red's convertible (red with black top and hood guard)

snowy jay's z28 (burgundy z28 with zr1 rims)

[costill92rs]

mark shield's car is on the far left

[costill92rs]

a little more progress...
today on my weekly trip to my uncles engine and machine shop in akron i went a little crazy with the bead blaster...i'll get some pics soon...
i blasted all of the rust off my headers i forgot to take a before photo though :doh: i was also going to blast 1 of my sets of 91-92 16x8 rims, but the bead blaster was very very slow in taking the clearcoat off, so i will probably work on stripping them with a solvent, then when i go back up next week i'll hot tank 'em again and bead blast any dirt/crud still on them, after that the irocs rims i have are next
i should also have pics of when i blasted the spare tbi manifold and tbi unit i have (too bad i snapped the heads off of the throttle shaft bolts, but i can get a new shaft and screws from u-wrench it for near nothing) hopefully soon i'll start the porting on the tbi and manifold...

[Cashmunson]

can you get your uncle to give me some discounts for some engine work? I need cam bearings pressed in, a hone job. Akron is pretty close to me. How much does he charge to hot tank and magnaflux?

[costill92rs]

i'll ask him how much it will be, i should be up there this thurs

[TPI383]

what kind of media are you useing to blast the aluminum?
Hopefully just glass. anything else leaves tinny pit like inperfections.

[costill92rs]

yeah, im just glass beading the stuff, ill have to drop 'em off for coating when im done, how much do you charge?
