Well I have not posted any new pics of my car in a while so I thought I would post of the new rims. I just got the rims and I have ordered Eibach Pro Kit springs for it that will be in next week. The rims are 17x8 TTII's w/ 5.5 backspacing and 255/40/ZR17 Kumho Ecsta Supra tires. There is also a pic of my engine since I rebuilt it and polished everything.

 

Looking really good . I saw that you are running kumho 712
tires and I was wondering if you had any pictures from behind. I
plan on running these tires and was wondering if the center channel
in the tread makes them look more narrow than they are (I have
heard that it does).

 

Geez I love those rims more and more every time I see pics of Camaros with them. Awesome!!

 

GODD LOOKING CAR! Most of the time I'm not fond of Flames, but they look very tastefull!

Also here is a Kuhmo rear pic for ya Nazzz28 275/40 17's:

 

I am a huge fan of the firebirds, and not real big on the styling of the Camaros, but that my friend is the baddest looking third gen Camaro I have ever seen. The only and I mean only thing I would change is the rear wing. I never liked the high rise wing. I can now say there is a Camaro that I wish to own.

 

that looks freakin SICK.....ive never seen pics of your car before and that thing looks amazing
Aj

 

That is one of the most beautiful 3rd gen Camaros I have ever seen! Nice work!

 

The paint looks nice, its hard to get a flame job to look nice on a thirdgen. I really don't care for the wheels though, the TT II's are overrated IMO, but hey, whadda I know, lol

 

Your car is Sweet!!!!!! I love the rims and paint.

 

Dude! I love that! The flames and TT2s go great together!

 

Man! That is NICE!Now I'm deciding on TT2s or the '01SS wheels.:lala:

 

I appreciate all the compliments, guys. I will be posting more pics when I get the springs put on. Nazzz28: the Kumhos do look a little more narrow than they are, but they are a great tire for the price and they hook up really good. Here is a rear view of the car you can see a little bit of the tire.

 

Thank you for the pictures. I order my set of 4 today from
tirerack.com. I got the 255/50-16's for $89 a tire and it's good
to here that they are still high quality tires.

 

NICE CAR!!!!!!!!

 

Simply amazing! :hail:

 

I love your car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:hail: the flames are some of the nicest ive ever seen on a thirdgen

 

those are very good tires ... I made the mistake of putting them on my mustang for a drift session and I could not make the car slide. kinda ruined my fun but those tires grip like a ****!!!

 

Yep, Kumho's are da shiznit!

 

Where can I buy those tires? (The Kumho ones)

 

Lanyabuddy - try tirerack.com I order 4 - 255/50/16's today for
$89 a tire. The total came to $393 to have them shipped to my
door.

 

Hey David,

What's up with the right rear tail light? looks like the shade is broken...

 

I have to agree with the other guys, i have never seen a third gen with flames that looks good!! Until now, wow your car is really sweet!! Rims look good! What made you go with TT2's tho? :hail:

 

Once again thanks for all the compliments.
89RustangRemover: The cover isn't broke that is the light reflecting off the taillight.
LPE383:I have always liked the way the TTII's looked, they look aggressive. Also I am the only thirdgen in my area with them so far, so they are different.

 

I normally don't like TTII's on thirdgens, but I think they suit your car very well, I like it. Nice choice to go well w/ the paintjob

 

Those wheels just rock. Wonder how they would look on a 91t/a

 

very nice, i like it alot

 

Attention Tom Keliher: Aren't you the guy that used to tweak a late 80's formula 350 for HPP? Or am I just thinking of someone else? In the event you don't see this question, I may post it again as a new thread. I just know that I've heard your name before. Hmmmmm.

 

I have always loved the wheels, but I hate the fact that everyone wants them. They make any car they are on look great. The flames are cool as hell too. Only one recommendation.... take the little stickers off the taillight covers. It'll look much cleaner IMO. A razor blade and some rubbing alcohol will take them right off.

 

OR a heat gun ? blow dryer my GTS decals are off now...

 

Get some more pics up, how much did that paint job cost ya??
Aj

 

Thanks again for all the compliments...
IROC57TPI: Yeah, when I first got the covers I left the stickers on because I wanted everyone to know I had GTS cover , but I have since realized they look stupid. As a matter of fact think I will go remove those in a second.
TransAm87: The car had already been painted like this about a month before I bought it. The guy I bought it from was the guy who painted it and he did an excellent job it is as smooth as glass(of course never hurts to add some Zaino, great stuff!).

 

How did you get the plenum to look so shiny. Is it polished aluminum or is it chromed? If it's polished how did you do it and what did you use?

Thanx

 

Hey IROC57TPI, you will be happy to know the gts stickers are off now.
FireChicken- The plenum as well as the rest of the TPI unit is polished aluminium. I follow the tech article exactly except for I also wet sanded it with 2000 and 3000 followed by aluminium restorer and Mothers Polish. I have done several aluminium pieces for various people including most of the stuff on mine. The thing that gives it the shine is the 1500, 2000, 3000 grits as well as the aluminium restorer and polish of coarse. The more time you spend wetsanding with the finest grits the shinier it will be.

 

Ok in the picture of your engine I see that your air intake piece seems to be carbon fiber? Where did you get that? Or did you make your self it looks really good. By the way nice car!!

 

Sweet paint job. I have seen this paint scheme done on a 50's chevy, and other numerous vehicles but it looks damn good on the thirdgen. :hail:

 

Thats kinda something that just happens tho dude.. if something is REALLY badass.. its gonna be hard for someone else to not want the same? its kinda like a beautiful girl.. all guys would be happy to have a drop deead beautiful girl.. so do you get pissed if you get one.. and then you see everyone else around yoiu with beautiful girls? no.. what u do is give them the thumbs up for having good taste like yourself!!

My thought!!


here.. WOULD YOU???

 

Thats what I want to know. I posted about a carbon fiber intake like that a long time ago, but I never looked into having one made. I always thought it would look pretty sweet.

BTW, did anyone actually read Bluebird's post or just get distracted like I did?

 

Hey David Culpepper how did you get your airbox to look like carbon fiber? Or is it a custom piece made of carbon fiber?

 

WOW, I've never seen your car before. VERY nicely done. I love everything about it.

 

i love the rims...thats why i bought them kinda wish i would have went with the 17x8s instead of the 16x8s tho...and i wish i would have bought those tires instead of the dunlops i have which cost me 140$ each...oh well ill learn someday.

 

Thanks again for all the compliments on the car. I knew someone would inquire about the carbon fiber intake so I am going to post some more pics of it and info in a new thread.

 

Nah, you throw her back in the pond and get an ordinary looking one. She'll love you more anyway

 

Looks like it belongs on the strip!! Good going man!!:rockon:
