thahnic1080, Walbro is for NOS and as replacement for old pump (car is 2001 year manufacturing), I'm making direct port nitrous.
Chad, yeah, chrome is not looking good there... I'll fix it after winter - It will be gloss black. (rims & door handles) About the headlights... This one was about 300$ for me with delivery to Russian, and I can't change the headlights every quarter. I'm thinking about installing lens modules, into custom frame... But this solution is not meeting our weather conditions... Got Rice Boy, ![]() AEM A/F Ratio (for datalogging) Oil temp. gauge for AT (I got 2 transmission failed, but now - I won't!) Fuel Press. gauge (that for interior more now), than it will be for NOS Oil press. gauge for Engine (I plan to make custom dashboard, and remove OEM indicators) Oil temp. gauge for Engine (no functional data, I will replace it maybe) Coolant temp. gauge (OEM temp. gauge cluster is failed - so I bought this) |

I can't stay car good-looking (I'm talking about front lip) while we have very high borders at street (it can be up to 20-25cm), and low-quality roads (because of our government is laundering money, and making awful roads, that are rebuilding every 1-2 years), and snow height was also about 20 cm in the middle of December, so I decided to install it on spring.
So there are low-quality road-maintenance (laundering money). I'm really want to drop off my car, and use this lip-kit 365 days in year, but it will be very expensive to stay it well-painted and unharmed ![]() Winter variant - yes, it's OEM of 4G. |

Have installed Diamante climate control panel.
Just select the temperature and AUTO mode, and it will keep the temperature constant. Last edited by MyShadow; 04/03/2012 at 06:51 AM. |

This wheel is absolutely identical in dimensions with our factory (diameter, thickness and depth).
The CAMARO badge will be replaced with ECLIPSE, as soon as I will found where I can order or buy it ![]() Anyway - it's more functional and better look than OEM one (I have 2001 - so there was no buttons at all - just horn) |

Yes, I'm 6g72 now with minor mods for firmware, and low compression in 4th cylinder...
I'm currently searching the engine for 6G75 swap, I plan to install AWD transmission from Endeavor W4A5A-4-T1ZE ~1500$. Now I'm searching for engine, I want to buy MIVEC one, but in Russia I can find just the Endeavor non-MIVEC 6g75 for about ~3000$. And about 5000$ for eclipse MIVEC for special order and 2 month delay... Mad prices ![]() So now I'm searching for 2000-3000 $ for MIVEC engine. Car is also waiting for the hood pins (and new paint) for my VIS hood (evo-style):

thrasherht,
there're minor exterior changes, now I'm collecting parts for rebuilding propellershaft, for rebuilding rear differential and seal kits. And waiting for air bags for rear suspension. Rear custom height air suspension will be ready in August-September-October. I also plan to finish my AWD swap in October-November. There are some difficults with the front subframe in AWD, cause it's made from Aluminum and can be welded just with special equipment, using Argon gas. So now I'm searching people, who ready to help me with this project. Also I'm waiting the photos of Pep AWD build, hope it will make my AWD built faster to complete. |
