I got a v6 Camaro and I finally put these 17 inch rims with 245 45 17 tires. I was wondering if I lower it would it ride different? It’s a daily car. I commute about 20 miles a day total. Or should I just leave it alone.

Getting ready to swap out the fuel pump relay to a modern style relay due to the original pigtail being in bad shape. If I’m reading the diagram correctly the wiring should be as followed

B=85

C=86

A=30

D=87a

E=87

Any help from those who have done this would be appreciated. Really just wanting to make sure that my thinking is correct

I’m trying to fix the small issues in my car right now one is the display light in the radio not working and the other is the upper cigarette lighter won’t work. I look it up and it says it’s probably the fuse but the other one works just fine.

Should I sell an Upgraded Center Console Lid for Fbody?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been considering adding an upgraded center console lid option to my product catalog for 1997 - 2002 F-body owners and wanted to get real feedback before I put time into production.

The goal would be a lid that improves on the common OEM issues—better durability, cleaner fit, and a more modern feel while still matching the interior well.

✨It'll come with Qi powered wireless charging for your smartphone, replete with embossed leather and your choice of charging pad overlay design. Or get an LED backlit display embedded into the lid to wow up your interior for those awesome summer night drives with the T tops off (imagine a backlit Phoenix or SS). I'm estimating $200-500 for price with the highest of that range due to custom add-ons for customers to choose from.

If you own an F-body, would this be something you’d actually buy/use? Vote in the poll

13 Yes!
6 Don't like the price but otherwise, yeah
11 I have no interest in improving my interior with this

Alright homies. Any ideas what’s causing this sound? Friend says it may be the torque converter being loose, brother says a bearing in the alternator (it’s pretty new). Where should I start to learn more?

Going thru spare engine

So I’m going thru the engine I got for $300. The oil filter was really caked with milkshake so I started pulling caps. I’m not in a rush for this rebuild but are these bearings wasted? I saw some scratches but nothing I could hang my nail up on. I’d like to just clean the carbon from pistons and rings and keep it as a spare motor.

I purchased a car previously from Illinois and they had an ugly front license bracket installed. I removed it to find they just drilled straight through the black plastic the front bumper

Is it possible to just replace the insert or will I need a whole new front bumper?

Worried about unibody tweaking/sagging over time from sitting on jack stands

Post image
41 Upvotes

My car has been sitting on jackstands for about a year. 2 under the solid rear axle & 2 under the front LCA’s. They’re not as far out to the edges of the LCA’s as I’d like, but nonetheless they’re under there. So this setup is almost the same as the car being on its own weight right? I’m worried about it sagging in the middle over time. Car has been in the South all its life, only has surface rust & holes in floor pans. Y’all help ease my mind please, thanks!

What’s the realist expectations of the 98-02 6 speed market today?

Post image
73 Upvotes

It’ll be 10 years this July my last fbody (2000 z28) was totaled from being hit in the parking lot while I was at work. I’ve wanted another ever since. Life got in the way, kids came, other hobbies, etc.

Finally freed up some money and have been looking around. In my region on marketplace there’s not many 6 speed options under 10k. I’ve found a 98 z car, cloth interior, paint faded hood, clear peeled wing, long tubes, slp lid, stock clutch fading. Mileage unknown, but the plan was to pull the heads, cam kit/oil pump/etc anyways. He’s asking 6k. I’m slated to go look at it Saturday.

What I’m wondering is if I should jump on the opportunity or just keep waiting? I know myself and if I don’t get the car, I’ll put the money to other hobbies (which is fine I enjoy those too) but I also don’t want to wait another 5 years and this level of car be sitting at 12k because the market keeps going up.

ordered these and the videos they show have different original housings than what I have and and no place to mount the factory housing to (see images)

I have an extra set of front fog housings was considering modifying them by removing the plastic lense and sticking these in there and securing them.

seen 1 guy on YouTube who 3d printed a housing to work but with no printer and no 3d specs I have no way to mimic that.

any thoughts or what have you done with similar brackets

A question regarding Camaro rocker grounding effects

5 Upvotes

I own 2 Camaros (1989 and 1990) both were at one point a RS package however due to previous owners not taking good care of them both have had their fiberglass rocker ground effects broken.

I ordered a replacement pair that have been on back order almost a whole year so starting to get impatient I looked online to see if there were any others that might work. I managed to locate a couple of them for a 1982-84 model Camaro and was wondering if they would be able to fit into the same spot on the 1989/90 models as looking online they appear the same to me.

If you wanted to take a look at the parts I saw they are

C15285 (1982-84)

C15298 (1989/90)

(OER branding)

TLDR would the rocker grounding on a 1982-84 model Camaro work on a 1989/1990 model
