Well I spent the better part of the day getting the Camaro cleaned up and ready for winter storage.....yes you read that right, I'm packing the car away for a few months.

I recently purchased a '96 Tahoe as a DD and winter vehicle. So glad I can finally keep my car as clean as all of yours! As of now I only have 1 winter mod planned and it rhymes with BMR split drop.

I expect the springs to arrive Tuesday and plan on installing them next weekend. So for now I'm

.

Anyway here are some pictures for proof or something.....

I thought about it, but as we know me I try to keep miles low on it. Plus it would be filthy by the time I get there. Also, until I feel comfortable with the new build I prefer to keep it local. Did you get your tune fixed?

Congrats Jason. Nice size garage too. So are you holding off then with camming it?

Nope, I feel pretty good about getting a cam again. There is a very good possibility I will be ordering the Night Fury in the spring.

Cool. Installing yourself or what shop are you going to? I'm thinking next time I will go to Straight line Performance in Joliet illinois.

BenningJ · 12-06-2014, 10:15 PM

Self install with a remote tune from Lethal.

thats funny they told me they had no rates for it

BenningJ · 12-12-2014, 08:55 PM

Evening ladies and gentlemen! Here I have for you, some pictures of my recent "Winter" mod. It seems as though I will need to find another since this one was completed so quickly.

I have an appointment in the morning to have the car aligned. I did take it out for a brief test drive down the road and WOW what a difference!

Anyway, here are the BMR Split drop pics. Enjoy!

rberns · 12-12-2014, 10:59 PM

nice. is that a 1.5 inch drop?

BenningJ · 12-12-2014, 11:14 PM

1.4" Front, 1" Rear.

Obsessive Camaro Disorder · 12-12-2014, 11:17 PM
