The Camaro Club (UK)

Hi
I thought I'd drop in and introduce myself and my Camaro.

Me: I've been involved with American cars and Americana in general since 1970 and have owned numerous motors. As well as the Camaro I currently own a '72 El Camino and a '71 Mach 1.

My car: It's a '99 Z28 auto, finished in Pewter and fitted with T-Tops.
Modifications include: SLP cold air induction. Flowmaster American Thunder system. Adjustable panhard rod and greaseable lower track arms. New Diff (Eaton LSD) 3:23 and bearings etc.

It's been recalibrated using Hypertech 32002 Max Energy Programmer, and is protected by a Sigma (Thatcham Cat 1) Alarm/Immobiliser.

Here are some pics, which were taken when it was sitting on Eibach Sportline suspension with a 1½” drop. However, I got sick of clouting just about every speed hump I met, and some of the roads round my area are little better than cart tracks . Now it's riding on stock-height Moog springs which means driving is more pleasurable although my son reckons it looks like a 4x4 .............not kind. I'll hang on to the Eibach units in case I get too much stick

Hello, welcome to the forum. Very nice car, like the wheels always fancied a set of those for mine.

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I've just watched your youtube vid ..................sounds awesome

Car looks great. Love the colour and the tyres look like the corvette C5 ones. 18" on the back 17" on the front. I have those on mine.

Welcome.

Where abouts in the country are you?

Hi and thanks.

Although I know the wheels/tyres look different front/rear in my pics, I'm actually running 17's all round (275/40ZR17 Kumho's)

Trouble is, as mentioned in my first post, going back to stock height suspension has led to some crticism . Hopefully, in time the springs will settle a bit lower

I'm from Epsom, Surrey how about you?

Hi

Welcome to the forum, nice to see another Gen IV join!

The wheels look great and have you you got the C5 brakes in there?

See you on the road!

I'm from around Newmarket and was wondering about the racecourse..

Hi Arizona.

Stock brakes.............at the moment, but having seen the C5 upgrade, they're defo on the list

The previous owner was my son and he 'detailed' the calipers.

He owned the car for nearly 3 years and it cost me a '79 Trans Am to prise it away from him

As you say, see you on the road

I'm only a couple of miles from Epsom racecourse.

I guess this means we're both used to being around some serious horsepower . Yeah I know.............

Yep it's a bit 'throaty'

You'll have to post a vid of yours.
