99 Z28: Revival of the Fittest.

Wasnt sure if this should go here, or the projects section. So i figured posting it here would give me motivation to keep it on track as a simple refresh, and not a complete black hole of money.

Heres the details:

1999 Camaro Z28
-94k miles
-LS1/T56
-T-Top
-Black w. Charcoal leather
-Factory ground effects

And the good stuff.

PRC Stage 2.5 heads
Chromemoly pushrods
SLP Lid
160* thermostat
SLP Bellows
LS6 intake
Ported TB
March underdrive pulley
Pacesetter 1 3/4" headers w/ blocked off emissions
TSP ORY
SLP Dual/Dual catback
Racetronix fuel pump kit
30lb injectors
LC-1 wideband
Dynotune digital A/F gauge

Poly motor mounts
Koni adjustable shocks
Strano springs
17x9 Black ZR1 wheels up front
17x11 Black ZR1 wheels out back
LT1 Tails
Black housing marker lights w. switchbacks

Now For the bad stuff

Each bad thing, i plan on addressing and will update with results. As i write this, some of which are already complete.


-The car does nothing when key is in ignition.

-Paint is not of any type of show quality.***
-Needs new slave cylinder
-Passenger window motor will go down. You won't get it to go back up.
-Rear seats are removed (eh, not really a problem for me, but resale could be)
-Sound system is garbage & wiring is hack
-Passenger side kick panel is broke
-The tires need to be replaced at all 4 corners.
-The rear fenders need to be rolled if running 315s like it currently has.
-Driver's side motor mount has a bolt missing on the K member side.
-Driver's side windows switch panel needs to be replaced
-All fluids should be changed at this point.
-The car has a pretty terrible leak.
-Headers have surface rust.
-A/C stopped blowing cold long ago and I never looked into why.


The car also included some extras, some of which have already been sold to cancel out money spend on car.

-Factory 16' wheels w. shot drag radials
-FAST 90/90 intake and TB (sold for $600)
-LS1 Tail Lights (sold for $200)
-OEM slave cylinder
-passenger side window motor

with just those 2 items sold, i own the car for $200.

Heres some pics of it after i got it backed into my driveway on the trailer, which admittedly to me a few tries, and hosed it off.

Also, the car has been sitting and was sold as non-running, however we were pleasantly surprised when it fired right up after being hooked to jumper cables. Drove her right onto the trailer.
