Sound through the stock muffler when you get on it is awesome. Wish I had a calibrated butt dyno to tell the performance difference.

which reminds me. we should make a dyno day!

How's your clutch?

BTW, does yours catch at the top? I press mine in about an inch to shift.

That sounds like fun! I'm working on getting a twin fuel pump installed since I am having issues getting enough fuel pumped in at top end. Once installed, I should be able to get it tuned for another 10-20 hp increase. Cant wait to see a dyno after I get the engine broke in.

With the Kooks headers and Corsa exhaust, car cruises real quiet until I start to accelerate, then the beast comes out! Really loud at initial startup too. Really loving it!

Mine dyno'ed stock at 327 rwhp. Yours should be around 350 rwhp stock I think. Not sure how much increase the Kooks headers would have given me since we had to wait for back ordered parts, and once we got the parts, we didnt dyno afterwards.

Yes it catches near the top of travel.

Went driving today, seems to be OK at the momment. Could not smell the clutch so thats a good thing so far.

I'll probably go to the Windward Cruise Night in a couple of weeks. Kinda far for me, but figure might as well check it out.

I wouldn't use beautiful... maybe sick, awesome, awe inspiring...

I had to return something at the bookstore. Hate going there with the car since parking sucks.

Any guys on Maui doing any cruising? I see the 5th gens out there but guess they are not on here.

Kreature · 04-15-2010, 05:21 PM

heh thats cool, i cant wait to see it. was it a IOM trim kit?
well my car is at servco ATM, for some minor fixes involving my hood.

Has anyone painted their antenna to match? i was talking to mike and gillbert at servco and they said it would go for around $400 with labor included.
My best bet is to call GX auto and ask them for a estimate. has anyone gotten work done from them? if so, mind sharing your thoughts about it.
i know GX auto lurks around the 350z and 300c forums, from what ive read, they have excellent customer service and their work is incredible.

Aloha friends!

Just wanted to say I can finally join the ranks of Oahu Camaro owners! Posted a little story (ok, maybe not so little) about the whole thing in the Gen Forum, unless mods move it.

Have some damage to the driver side mirror to get Matson to pay for, hopefully it doesn't take too long, but otherwise if you see an SS/RS IBM rollin around with Wisconsin Newman Chevrolet (thanks Camaro Scotty

) dealer tags, that would be me!

The wait is over! Yay... Ok, back to your regularly scheduled programs!

wow, grats on the most awesomenest car ever lol. so how much did you pay for drop ship?

Hawaii_Subs · 04-17-2010, 03:29 AM

Paid 1750, so with GM military discount and USAA 750, i still ended up under msrp

There were cheaper shippers out there too, but i went with one that had a decent rep and experience shipping overseas!
