@Indian_Mack, you could eat off of that engine. Looks good.

Installed new Brembo pads on all wheels today. That has to be the easiest brake job i ever did. Takes longer to jack up the car and remove the wheel, than to do the pad swap. Now i have to go bed them in.

I pulled out my JL Audio XD700 amp, Kicker sub, PAC dash kit, and Kenwood DMX709S head unit. Went back to 90% stock (keeping all the speakers I installed). I was just never happy with the setup. Probably should've gone to a professional to see about getting it tuned better, but just got tired of messing w/ it.

I went aftermarket in my Corvette & even my old '04 MDX and both sound 20x better than I could ever get in the Camaro. My old '13 Mustang GT convertible w/ the Shaker was hugely better than anything the Camaro had stock, but it will work for now.

Only thing I miss is the backup cam, so I'm going to go the rear view mirror route. I have it wired up to the dash, so it should be a fairly easy install.

Climbed underneath her this afternoon trying to chase down the rear suspension clunking noise I'm having (https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showt...3#post11283163) and noticed a little leak coming from where the axle goes into the diff. So I'll need to pull the axles and replace that seal for the axle on the diff.
I'll likely do that all on a weekend when I go to replace the rear struts and take the time to pull apart and sand/paint and clean up rear control arms and such.
Still cannot locate the clunking sound from the right rear though.

Spent 4 1/2 hours washing and detailing her inside and out, and refreshing the ceramic coating. Aside from the undercarriage, there isn't a spot on this car I didn't touch. Had my wife try to find a spec of dirt anywhere and she could not (or she didn't have the heart to point them out!)

My god, 4 1/2 hours. It looks like a weeks worth of detailing. Fantastic job.
