Hi! Newb here (sorry, kinda long) - F-Body Road Racing and Autocross Forums

Hey, just heard about this site today from a buddy of mine, looks great!

I'm Andrew, I own a 94 Camaro RS (not officially called an 'RS' that year, but I like the name). Originally the 3.4L/T5 base model t-top car, such a slow 'piece.

So far I've gutted the engine harness, engine, trans, read and half of the rear suspension. Replacing it with a rebuilt 355 (11:1, 224/234, single plane, ported S/R Torquers, etc....), Super T10 4 speed tans ('U' casing - 3.44 first gear - wide ratio) and a 8.5" 10 bolt )posi with 2.73's - strong but not enough gear). I'm just waiting for the engine to come back from the machine shop, then the installation will begin.

As for suspension, I killed the LCA setup, built a dropped 4 bar/link setup to rid myself of the forsaken torque arm. Made an adjustable panhard bar when I had some spare time, should work well. 98 LS1 springs and stock shocks/struts. Homemade subframe connectors, re-welded strut towers and part of the front subframe. Built a pre-loadable strut tower brace. Bigger sway bars from an 84' TA (20mm rear, 25mm front) but still everything using rubber bushings.

That turned out a littl elonger than expected, sorry for the long post.

Nice to be on the site, hello to everyone (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

BTW: Its my birthday next Friday (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I'm pretty sure you meant a '35'mm front sway bar, as my 3rd gen is a 36mm. (WS6) Mine is setup much like an American/Sedan car.
