🔧 BUILD JFish's 98 Camaro SS

[sktchy]

They'll probably plow me just as much to maintain historic plates but it could get me a pass on the emissions shit we don't test for. I've kinda looked into special interest plates but I try and stay out of the DMV since one of my exes works there

Yeah I hear you, I liked my old personalized plates but I like these better actually, but more than that it’s a third of the cost to renew these now. Obviously not sure about the Corn Fucker State

I got till 2027 I can’t wait for the EA plates. Your plates look great

Finally got around to taking off the pressure plate to inspect and make sure the clutch is actually in there lol. Obviously I could see the inner ring of it through the center but they assembled it all together and the bolts were pretty tight. But it would have to come apart anyway for install so might as well see what I paid for.

Clutch is in and been driving it around getting some break in miles on it. Pedal is a little heavier than it was, but has zero play in the pedal. Previously there was like an inch of slop at the top of the pedal so not sure if that was a poor bleeding job by me, age, or that the slave was already slowly on its way out. I have noticed that there is a knocking noise at times when coming from a stop mostly when turning. Might be the exhaust tapping on the floor/cross member. I don’t think it’s clutch chatter although I’ve read that some people experience that during the break in process, It seems fine otherwise. So I might have to get it up and crawl under there to see if there is any evidence. It’s a pretty tight fit with the headers, I had to trim the lip of the crossmember back to make space when I installed them but it’s still pretty tight. A couple pics this weekend driving it around , just over 100 miles on it now.

Sent you what? The video? Did he do that? If so that’s pretty awesome! I had no idea. And thank you!!

 

[Gav'sPurpleZ]

Yes, they posted the video to their IG. Not sure if Alex knew it was yours or not.... or if he just sent it because it's another 4th gen Camaro

Gav and Jason need a shoot together.

 

[Rico]

Pretty sweet! Did not realize that was your car. I follow urw on Instagram. They're pretty close to me. Maybe I'll check em out in the future. I know IND trusts them to work on their cars

Bad ass video Rico

 

[Rico]

I wish I could say it was mine! Haha sorry I should have clarified. I'm only decent with photography.
I did recently get a drone but managed to get it stuck in my neighbor's tree within 90 seconds. Had to chuck several basketballs to get it down. I'll be practicing in empty fields from here on out

Yeah, my cousin is close friends with the owner Ben, which is how I heard about the shop to begin with. I met Ben at a family event, and he stood up in my cousins wedding last summer. Went with a couple of friends last summer and Ben gave us a tour of the shop and some of the projects they had. They work on everything and have a dyno, etc. super clean and professional shop.

I’m down, I think this has been mentioned before as well.

 

[Rico]
