2000 ss

**IH8EVRY1** · 04-25-2010, 08:59 AM

I'm a new member to this site and posting up my car. This is my 3rd 4th Gen Camaro and 5th over all Camaro.

2000 SS A4
Red on Ebony
Y2K Brushed 10 Spokes
Chrome 5 Spoke SS Wheels (I want 17 x 11 Rear's in a stock look)
SLP Flow Pack w/ smooth bellows
Port & Polished Throttle Body w/ Bypass
Umi Strut Tower Brace
Umi Weld In Subframe Connectors
Umi Pan Hard Bar
Umi Rear Lower Control Arms w/ Relocation Brackets
Pacesetter Long Tubes (No Cat)
TSP Rumbler X-Duals w/ Dynomax Bullets
Diablo Sport Tuning
Red Caliper w/ Black Bracket Painted Brakes

To-Do
LS6 Intake (ERG Delete)
Heads & Cam w/ all new valvetrain
Sway Bars
Shocks & Spring Upgrade
Yank 3600 TC
3.73 Gear Swap

All of the stuff for my "To-Do" list is bought except the Swap Bars, Torque Converter, Gears and Shocks & Springs. I'm waiting on one of the guys I work with to get home so we can pull his silverado SS and my car in at the same time and start of builds together in his shop. Probably looking at a fall time frame to begin everything. I did a ton of research on what I'm doing to have a fun street/strip ride with mild street manners. The car is not a DD but I do drive it on the road some. I'm not too worried about street manners or it being loud to ride in.

I still have questions about shocks and springs b/c I have some ground clearance issues with the TSP system. I want something that's going to hook up better but I don't want to lower the car a lot.

I need to get the car painted. The front bumper saw some abuse by the previous owner. It looks like she touched a concrete curve or something in a parking lot and the clear coat is starting to peel in a few other places.

I open to suggestions and advice so fire away.

**I'll figure out how to post pictures one day. In the bottom left section of the page there is a list of "Posting Rules" and it says I am not allowed to post attachments. Whenever that goes away I'll post pictures.

Most of the pictures are from the ad when I bought the car. I took the California front license plate grill off and put the SLP grill back in. Most of the other pictures I have are from doing mods or fixes. I'll take more and add them when the weather clears up.

Looks great and sounds like you have the next set of mods all planned out. We had to paint the nose and hood on our car last fall. In addition to chips it looked like something had been spilled on the hood in a couple of spots.

Let me know what you go with for springs as there is no way I can lower our car with the roads we have. A lot of guys speak very highly of Strano springs, but I have never looked into whether he has a stock ride height set.

PS: Missed your last sentence in the first post, but it looks like you have it figured out.

**IH8EVRY1** · 04-26-2010, 07:18 AM

The weather cleared up last night so I washed the car and took a few more pictures. More will follow as the mods continue.

very clean SS!!

**IH8EVRY1** · 05-08-2010, 01:31 PM

Thanks for the compliment. I'm about to order some 17 x 11 ZR1's to go with the other set of wheels I have and get some 315's for the rear, maybe it'll hook a little better then. I'll post more pictures after that. I hope the ZR1's will make my brakes show a bit more. May tint the windows real soon too.

**IH8EVRY1** · 05-11-2010, 04:31 AM

I want to get it as my license plate.

**BADASS2000SS** · 05-12-2010, 10:52 AM

That would be badass!

**IH8EVRY1** · 06-14-2010, 07:28 PM

I took some new pictures at the beach today.

These will be the last for a while. The car is getting some additions over the next 2 months and I took these to day for before and after kind of stuff.

Now I'm waiting on my new one and the paint booth to open. Probably still going to be a few weeks before we get to spray the car but I'll get my new grill in there shortly. Now if I can get these wheels gone.

Thanks, you too. I like your hood scoop. I'm also doing Halo lights but getting the stinger strip kit. I'm going to paint the car later this summer since the clear is peeling in places and I'll do the stripes after that. I also sold my SLP grill and I'm going back with a west wings just trying to decided if I'm going to paint it black or red. Suggestions?

Paint the car or grille? I think red camaros are definite eye catchers, and they look amazing.
