It was amazing riding together...

Need more input!

I'm not going to be able to recognize your car with all your mods.

Do you still love the gears?

My dealer is big time anti mod and are saying even the gears will void my entire drive train warranty. I will be doing them but will wait awhile longer.

I read where the adjustable sway bars enable you to adjust over steer or under steer. I would like to know if you are able to get it to lean towards over steer which I would like.

My car "looks" the same except its a tad lower. As far as the gears, I loved them. I am back to 3.45s now and I would not have enen told your dealer you are thinking of gears. Also, they are full of it if they say it would void the entire drivetrain warranty. How would gears have any effect on say, the engine? Axels... yes. Engine, no way. Everything to the pinion is the same. The only thing you are really changing is the rate of rotation between the pinion and ring leading to a change in the rotation of the rear tires. I will tell you my gear story someday... its a doozie...

I have all kinds of suspension stuff done to the car. Poly bushing, toe bars, trailing arms, lowering springs and soon the adj. sways. It corners like its on rails as is, I cant wait to see after the sways. And yes, the sway allow you to take out most of the understeer....

ok, after much deliberation & looking at hundreds of pics (and costs), I've decided to get vinyl instead of paint on stripes. I didn't find anything 100% like what I wanted, but I've found the solution. Since I'm a mechanical designer, and have CAD at home, I'm going to draw my own package up. A guy I work with has a sign business too, so he has the equipment to cut my stripes out on the vinyl. So now I just have to draw it all up & look at samples to find the color/finish I want. Woohooo!!!!! I'll post pics of the process.

What will the next local Camaro get together be? We need to plan something other than the weekly cruise-ins. Perhaps something in May or June.

We can discuss C5Fest experiences, look at pictures and check out each others new mods.

IROCanSS · 04-19-2010, 10:41 AM

I am out of town May 9-15 but am good otherwise.

I am considering the brake upgrade. Spoke to MTI, Showstopper and emailed Highpower Motorsports.

I am looking at powdercoated red calipers, Hawk pads, MTI braided red brake lines and a fluid flush. Kris wants to do the red accents so I am in! Looks like all can be had for the $800 range...

, it will look cool thats for sure...

I should be home May 7-9 and Memorial Day weekend. And my last exam is June something.

By the way, how plausible would it be to have C5Fest at Mid-Ohio next year?

RichJ. · 04-19-2010, 07:53 PM

We will be having our annual Open House, Pedders Suspension, Dyno Day on May 22nd all are welcome. Let me know so we can get enough burgers and dogs.

Hmmm...How about a mini-Camaro5 fest at our Local Dragstrip.
