Introduction, new guy - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Well, after goofing around with Porsches for a while I've decided to get rid of them and build a Camaro for the track for next year.

I sold my '85 911 last weekend and now I'm selling my 944 that I spun a rod bearing in a couple weeks ago. I just bought a 1994 Z28 hardtop 6-speed car and I'm picking it up Saturday.

As I sell my other car and some parts to come up with cash I'll be going through the brakes and suspension to get it ready for next season, mainy for AX, and HPDE's. The car has some engine work and probably makes 325hp at the wheels, so it should be pretty fun. I think once I add some 1.6 rockers and get the computer tuned it should get me another 25hp at least.

I've been reading up on some of the information here, it's definitely helpful as I'm a relative newcomer to the F-body. My brother has had a 1999 T/A for a few years, but he's more interested in drag racing. The upside is he has an LS-1 aluminum driveshaft, and LS-1 rear brakes (the car already has LS-1 fronts) so I'll get a few freebies from him.

I'll be sure to post here as my build progresses. I'm sure I will also have lots of questions for you guys! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Yeah, I caught bits and pieces on another thread about using Porsche front brakes, does anyone have a link to the site? I might have to look into that as I can probably source the necessary Porsche parts, hopefully at affordable prices.
