I can bring some for you to try if you like. I also use some Waterless Wash on it. Both do a pretty good job. The 303 is really great, and leaves a nice clean finish on everything black/trim/hoses/etc.

hehehehe

The cam is going in first, then the super charger. It's in the plan. I'm cam shopping at vector motorsports and livernois right now.

For the mod gathering, I'll be putting in new stealth bulbs to replace the front directionals.

If you want to install them, let us know so we can expect that and make sure we have enough time... Headers are about 2-3 hours. Exhaust is maybe an hour tops...

Don't worry about all the work going on... there are several people and everyone is very eagar to lend a hand. I can come as early as needed and stay until about 8ish if need be and its ok with Heinz!

Wow thats great. I just ordered the Full American Racing Headers Package including: V8 LongTube 1-7/8 Header Xpipe Cats and Full Muffler System Package.

This would be awesome.

We don't need an answer now but perhaps if you would let us know a week before.

Thanks!

I was at first but I may just have to make a trip. I have Wed/Thur off so I will have to take the day off. I will let you know.

hrpiii -
If you wouldn't mind, I'd love a CD of the pics from the last mod gathering. I am definitely going to take more pics next time.

IROCanSS · 04-30-2010, 11:08 PM

From the Mobil Site.....

Mobil 1 Synthetic Gear Lube LS 75W-90 contains special friction modifiers designed for limited slip-type differentials. In most applications, the addition of special LS (limited slip) additives is not required. For axles requiring the highest level of limited-slip performance, OEM specific LS additives can be added to this fluid.

At.
http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/..._75W-90LS.aspx

I didn't research this, just read it on this thread: http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showth...t=differential Lots of different opions on these matters. Hopefully Mobil knows what they're talking about.

Good question, I never heard of the additive before, but can't say I ever had the rear diff. fluid changed in a car before I got this one.

hrpiii · 05-01-2010, 07:29 AM

yes, the additive is already in their synth. gear lube. you will be okay.

131 SS · 05-02-2010, 04:33 AM

I'm almost a definite now. I will also be bringing along my new showstopper mirrors and splash guards if time permits.

Sweet... and 1 RD JEWL has the mirrors so he can assist with the install. I don't think anyone is doing anything that someone hasnt already done on their own car so there shouldn't be any "learning" going on! But, just in case, Randy will have his hammer!

About the "if time permits"... We will make sure we get to everyone. Nothing needs done on my car, I just like to wrench! I plan to arrive early and will stay as long as need within reason. I do have to work the next morning! I see nothing really difficult. I am sure I will ne busy with the spring installs, they are sort of time consumming but we can easy do 3 to 4 in one day. The shifters are a snap. If anyone is getting a hurst, i suggest getting there early and doing that first. I can have those done in about 30 minutes with the lift. We can get it out of the way and I can start on the spring/sway bar installs and I can free up the lift for Heinz to assist with all the MGWs... from what I understand are a little more time consuming. The only other thing I can think of that will require the lift is 10's headers and exhaust, which Drew said he is more than willing to work on and shold take about 3 hours with the lift. I foresee several opperations going on at once, should be a full, busy day.

See you all in a few weeks! Hoping for nice weather!... unlike today!

Darth_Emma · 05-02-2010, 12:40 PM

For a future mod day (not this month), I'm considering brakes. I love 1 RD JEWL's drilled and slotted rotors and powder coated calipers. I am trying to line up a guy to powder coat my calipers. I'm thinking either black or red:

What do you guys think? Should I have IPS do the work or are any of you up for the challenge? (I know there is no way I can do this myself.)
