steveo's 45th SS

[steveo9043]

Well I decided to start a journal.

Car was built 8/11/11 (2 days after my birthday.. SO CLOSE lol)

Purchased her on 11/19/11 with 50 miles on her.

I dont know why but I always take the first picture with a new car in a gas station. Did this with my 94 z28 I had and my 08 G8 GT. Here is the camaro




More to come.

From then till now I have just enjoyed the amazing machine. Monday I ordered and picked up my Cold Air Inductions CAI from Juiced Motorsports. (Jason and Juiced is top notch with great pricing)

Installed the intake on 2/28/12



Engine bay is dirty I know. I am almost embarrassed to post that picture.

Car now has 5200 miles on her. You can thank the very mild winter Chicago has had for the mileage. I have only put 50 or so miles on my winter beater.

2/29/12

Happy leap day to me and my beautiful lady. Got the call that the Solo Mach XL exhaust I ordered was in! Took my sisters equinox and picked up these two large packages!



If all goes well the exhaust will be installed this weekend.

Again a big thanks to Jason with Juiced Motorsports.

Me too....Get it installed and let's check it out...Congrats and welcome....

It's driving me crazy that I don't have the time to install it until possibly Sunday. Here is an idea I keep throwing around but have not decided if I should do it.

Yeah I came up with that idea. with the help of a fellow C5'er we got that photo shopped. I have a quote to get them done just have not pulled the trigger yet......

Nice touch....I vote for it...this will be your idea....have yet to see them on anything else....

[steveo9043]

as of 3/4/12 got the solo mach XL cat back installed.

Quieter then i had expected to be honest. But definitely wakes up the car. Will post a video when I get a chance.

Install was very simple. 2.25 hours and that would of gone by faster if I wasn't constantly checking C5.

Thanks. One concern is right now it is my daily driver. A lot of people don't think the painted wheels will hold up too well.

I did share this in the 45th thread so maybe someone will pull the trigger before me.

[steveo9043]

well here is a quick start up and idle video with the exhaust.



Now What shall I do?

the wheels?

ZL1 grill?

I took a look at the centennial edition vette and those wheels would look nice on the 45th camaro. I wonder if they will fit.

I was thinking ZL1 bumper but then I'd have to do the rest of the car to match.

[steveo9043]

well here it is! got the grill in today. Hopefully going to do the install tomorrow.

I think you have the right idea on the wheels..I like your rendition of the 45th...Someone will be able to paint and seal them to last!! Nice upgrades so far...I am keeping a watch on the progress........
