SAVING My High School Z28 Camaro In 24 HOURS

Күн бұрын

I bought my 1994 Chevy Camaro Z28 from high school back a few years ago, it was utterly destroyed. Since then I've started it about once a year and driven it 2 or 3 times. The exhaust was removed by a previous owner starting it was usually out of the question. The tires were completely bald with cords poking out, and the radio turned on with the parking lights. It was unquestionably bad. We're going to turn around all the major issues in 24 hours, and drive it to Cars and Coffee for the first time ever.

“Big lip so you can’t curb this wheel.” Spoken like a man of experience. I always get slightly oversized tires primarily for this reason. If they’re a little wider but don’t rub, you’ll hit rubber instead of wheel if you overshoot the mark when parallel parking.

I loved the LT1 in my 1995 TA. My current LS3 would destroy it, but the sound was substantially better from the LT1. It wasn't a difficult engine to work on once you got past the incredibly cramped engine compartments they were usually shoehorned into. OptiSpark issues were worked out by the 95 model year, so that wasn't an issue for me luckily.

He could not get the hook closed, because the intake manifold was too tall, so he put a low rise intake manifold on it and can now close the hood. He has so much money into this car now, but it has sentimental value to him.

The wheels are supposed to be "cutting into the wind", so the swoops are supposed to "swoop" back like a kitana.

I had that same hooker cat back with jet hot coated hooker long tubes. Great setup went 13.07@108 with it. LT1's are still good motors. Still have my high school Camaro

I feel your pain with that wiring... Not once have I bought an old second hand car and had all the stereo wiring not completely hacked about, half a million crimp connectors on crimp connectors, eight miles of unnecessary wiring... Just WTF is wrong with people?! 😂🤦 Love it that you're into the awesome period correct head unit era - I do exactly the same with my fleet! 😁

This video makes me very happy. I have a 95 Z28 that I'm currently getting real greasy with :) I swear- 4th gens never get any love.

Nice work! I have a modded 95 Z28 Camaro. Lots of UMI stuff on the car. Just added their front and rear sway bar kit.

Loving this car! Seeing you rebuilding yours makes me want to get my high school car back up so bad!

I love that you solder and shrink wrap your connections👍, I hate butt connectors. Very cool deck! I remember driving to high school in my ‘97 Sunfire with my cheapie Jensen deck making Matchbox 20 skip on every bump...😂

Keep it up, it's a labor of love. You'll need center caps after all of the work and money you put in those wheels.

When I first saw you using that tire machine, I was thinking where did you get the money for that and then afterwards you say it's not yours. lol

Great way to handle the work on this car and not get bogged down. A day on it every few months and it will in good shape soon! I think it would be cool to continue to grab era correct parts that are cheap now, keep the original motor and do cam, headers, cat, ECU tune. That would be inexpensive and easy, comparatively, and still a lot of fun to drive.

The Goodyear Eagles on my Mustang have the same feature of a slightly offset lip to protect your rims. Unfortunately, I got them after a curbed I rim on a stone curb while parallel parking in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. 😤

Those tires are directional did you put them facing the right direction? they are made to eject the water out of the tread in one direction.

I had a 94 Z28 in that exact color. It was a fun car. Drove it over 100k miles.

I had a 94 V6 in that color. Made it to 135,000 miles before it started burning coolant real bad (constant white smoke out the tail pipe). I wasn’t to upset. I paid $550 for it and I had bought my 93 Z28 a few months prior. Swapped as many parts from the 94 to the 93 that were messed up on the 93 and junked the V6. 13 years later and my z28 still has the knobs and hood from my old V6.

I had a 94 Z28 with the 6 spd manual in the dark green metallic color. That was a fun car. Traded it in for a 98 SS with a 6 spd.

Impossible for me to get my highschool car back: the guy I sold it to died in it a few weeks after I sold it! He lost the tail on a slippery road and hit a semi head-on while he was sideways; car broke in half. My beloved 1981 Mustang with the 3.3L inline 6, manual 4-speed.

@thecman26 4 жыл бұрын

IMHO that is the best post 70's Camaro body style! They didn't have fancy traction control or electronic stability control crap. Just a big V8 and a decent factory exhaust. With a 6 speed it is perfect! FWIW that laser engraved LT1 plate is at least 6 horsepower! Wouldn't the rear speakers be running off the factory harness and the one you attached to the 12ga wire? So wouldn't that be ok?

I am a fan of Pirelli tires, the P4 for the longest life or the Scorpion Verde for a little more grip for an all season tire. I am waiting for the April issue of Consumer Reports magazine at a library for their newest research for tire brands.

I was always a huge fan of the SLP Loudmouth on the LT1. It was a little quieter, but damn that thing sounded GOOD!

I’m happy with my 2.5” exhaust, gutted cat and a cherry bomb on mine. Certainly flows better then the stock style (that stock rear muffler design is crap for flow).
