all this stuff sounds fun

El Chorizo · 06-17-2010, 06:33 PM

My CCW's are here and.... they don't fit. Not even close.

I went with a wider combination then John usually does as I wanted to run 12" slicks. The wider wheel combined with my lowered car == no clearance. We've grinded down a few places and worked on it all day but as soon as one area would fit another would rub.

So, we are mailing these back and I'm going to go with some 17" slicks. Not the best solution but hopefully one that will work and perhaps I can put my stock brakes back on.

When your high-beams are off, the shield is covering part of the bulb which prevents it from going higher than ~4 feet (this places it just below the rearview mirror of the car in front of you). When you turn your high-beams on, the shield is removed and the light is allowed to scatter much higher, giving you increased visibility.

The noise you hear is the mechanical shield shifting back and forth over the path of the light.

Thanks for the information. Does yours make the loud noise also? it kind of sounds like the cars with the pop-up lights. As far as i remember it never did it before

On the 26th of June, we will meet at the First paved parking on Transmountain from the NE side of town at 1330 so you can join us this time.

I hope to see everyone there.

I'm fixing my car right now so I should be running at 100% on the 26th!

Thanks John for the help with the torque specs I owe you one and see you guys on the 26th at 1:30.

Not a problem... On that note, if anyone needs Torque Specs for anything Camaro, don't hesitate to ask me. I've got the service manual and it has EVERYTHING! 3 thick volumes of info!!!

Gonna get my Stillen ACT clutch installed tomorrow and hopefully I'll get my camshaft installed before the 26th!!! 4.10s to follow!

Where is a reliable place to go for the installation of mods?

EDIT: As far as mods go it will be things like headers/mufflers. Also does anyone know if it voids warranty?

I understand that a modification only voids the modified part, unless of course the modification were to be the cause of a malfunction of another part.

A good place to get headers and exhaust installed is Montana Mufflers (used to be called Ernie's Mufflers). They have two locations on Montana. Eastside by Wedgewood and Central by Copia.

Also, a good way to get some mods done is from your fellow Camaro5 El Paso Chapter members lol... EmperorSS (Richard) and myself have worked on my vehicle and I myself wouldn't mind lending a hand to anyone who needs one. Richard is very knowledgeable about anything mechanical and automotive and I have the service manual for the 2010 Camaro that has just about anything you need to know.

I agree with John and I have done all the work on my car also. I would be down to help another camaro owner do their own install. Theres just a satisfaction that you get when you do the install yourself that you don't get when have to pay a lot to have someone do the install for you. I guess its just pride of doing your own work and that whole "built not bought" saying
