What did you do to your NA today? 2016 version

[Slampen]

Changed "frames" of the headlights. From BRG to Laguna.


BRG one got el..adjusted headlight Lagune version not.


Had to move adjust-motor, and adjust-screws.

Oh, just a few things. Installed new upper and lower ball joints, new 93LE/R-pack tie rods, Xidas, 949 endlinks, stainless braided brake lines, fresh brake fluid, new MSM motor mounts, and sandblasted and painted the exhuast heat shield with high-temp paint.

Pics and details to come later in the day, or later this night. Plan to install new alignment bolts, set the ride height, adjust the endlinks and... that should be it. Ran into a few minor but annoying hiccups and roadblocks here and there, otherwise everything would have gotten done yesterday.

RS-Watanabe's fitted. Currently 4WD spec but Ohlins will alleviate this!

Added the RB nose I had for sale onto the '97.

[Demon I Am]

Wonderful!

[90blue]

Thanks. It was a lot of work getting it like that

[NCGreasemonkey]

Glad you didn't sell it now, though, right?

[90blue]

Yes and no. They do not last as long as the OEM nose. But looks very nice.
Getting ready to clear coat the OEM, I may replace the RB.

[JamieH]

Set her on the ground.

Really? The MX-5 spare on the RS / SS convertible top!!!

[JamieH]

It's just an rs. And it's a beater, a nice beater, but still a beater, with a lot of hidden rust in the body. And the Miata spare sitting there is fine. That is the least of that Camaro's problems. I grenaded the input shaft in the trans a week ago. Had to limp it home in 4th for about 15 miles. Not mad or anything, I was driving it like the toy it is. Second time I broke that trans, 1st time I killed 3rd. Not really my driving, too much power going through a junkyard 3rd gen Camaro T5. Not saying the car is uber powerful, just a basic SBC build, but T5s are only rated at 265ft-lbs.

[Greasemonkey2000]

Jamie, build thread on the Camaro?

[JamieH]

Ahhhhh....... probably not. Usually when something happens with the Camaro it's a big ticket item/job. So it would be ages between updates. I also rarely drive it, but when I do, I beat on it like a alcoholic husband coming home to a cheating wife.

It's usually, and eventually, a good thing when I break it. Means things get updated/upgraded.

Went with Yokohama Advan Neova 08s on the refinished Panasports.
They are a little narrower than the 888s and I need spacers up front to clear the Wilwoods, but they really set the car off.

[JamieH]

Set the ride height (4" F, 4 1/4" R pinchweld) and adjusted the endlinks this morning. But sadly, the front lines are stil leaking at the hardine connection. Was so close to going out for the first drive on Xidas.

Hoping I can disconnect them and seee what is going on and it'll be something simple like a little corrosion that I didn't initially see or something. If not, I'll just slap the stock lines back on for the time being and order up some Centric OEM replacements from rockauto.
