1991 r/s convertible and 1992 L98 formula
 
2 of my babies outta the collection...91 r/s 'vert and '92 L98 formula cloned into a '92 firehawk tribute car. For those who don't know me, i'm dave in West Milford..been in the f/body game for years, owned an 'L69 '84 z28 and an '89 iroc years past.

A big thanks to my parts guru Ted for coming thru on authentic slp tri-y headers and y/pipe for the firehawk. (these will get jetcoated before install) Now i just need to convince my buddy to sell me his extra t-ram for that final touch!!

Nice cars!

These tailpipes look exactly like the ones that came on the Banks system I had in my 82 TA

^ Correct! The guy i bought it from gave me these tips as well, being they are chrome variants i put them on instead........but i may relent and go w/the slp ones. Since i have the headers now and most likely get the slp cats, i want to keep it all slp nose to tail. Your one of a few that spotted that so now i MUST change this to the authentic setup...lol.

@chris, yes still have the vette..may have an offer this week but not sure if i still want to sell, kinda nice being debt free (besides the mortgage)

@myfirstz, car has been to a few shows up in Rockland...rockland rodders event for the kids and pearl river on friday nights.

..thanks to all for the comments.

That Camaro looks familiar, did I see it at the Chatterbox Drive in at the last meet we had up there? I may have met you if I did.

1320B4U 03-20-2012 05:24 PM

^ Yup...hows it going.

Pretty good, car is still in pieces, job searches going nowhere, but on the bright side, if I do find work, all I need is a motor and some bits and pieces, I'm not worrying about the body/paint or interior quite yet. Want it sorted and running first. Its back on the ground though as you may have read in the one thread.

Not sure which wheels I like better, both look great on the Camaro. The Firehawk Tribute car is awesome, did you include the ZF 6 speed manual in there?

1320B4U 03-21-2012 02:22 PM

Not going that route...probably just a t5 if i do a swap...hence the term 'tribute' vrs. 'clone'. Hope to see you back up at chatterbox this year.

L695speed 03-21-2012 05:23 PM

I'll be there every saturday night, ideally unless something comes up. I'll definitely be at the meet in June, though don't count on seeing the 84 unless I hit the lottery. Doesn't have to be millions, 25K would be nice. Will watch for either F body there. And just a thought, but probably not worth it, if you really wanted to mimic a 6 speed in the tribute car you could swap a T56 in which would be easier. Though you're likely too far along to justify such a deal.

very nice rides man. gotta feel awesome to have 2 clean and modified 3rd gens.

1320B4U 03-30-2012 09:39 AM

Thanks but i rather have a nice 5th gen then these sometimes.

Paul Huryk 05-14-2012 02:19 PM

It's been a long time since I have seen a Banks exhaust - had on one my Camaro and another kit on my IROC. Nothing sounds better than a manual trans, hands down.

1320B4U 05-14-2012 02:49 PM

It is an slp exhaust w/banks tips the guy thru in w/the deal. Since the pic was taken i put on the original slp ones and sold the banks to someone else.
