Always an Honor to have other UA-cam Channels watch! especially the ones I follow. Ya'll get those dampers rebuilt yet? i'm curious what the shock dyno plots would look like. I know guys who tubed their 3rd gen Camaro's and installed Double wishbone fronts to run 345s. but that's a build for a car i don't care about cutting up
@@3rdGenGuy Thanks, man! I'm always honored when you comment on anything I upload or comment on. Your videos are great and are doing well! I haven't even gotten the shocks off the car yet - much less rebuilt. LOL. I have no idea if a rebuild will include a dyno plot but I'll be sure to cover all of that in videos when the rebuild happens.
@@EvolutionAutocrosser most shops will dyno the dampeners before and after. that way you can send them back in 2-3 years for a refresh and they can tell if something is broken or worn out. I'm interested in more of your Autox comparison videos on the lines different drivers use ex ex . that's interesting to me.
@@3rdGenGuy Sounds good. I will see if I get a dyno sheet or not and will report back on that in an upcoming video. I appreciate the feedback / suggestion for future videos. The comparison ones seem to get more watches and likes than most other videos I've made. More to follow!
Thank you for your videos, you help me a lot with my 87 Camaro, I am from Costa Rica and here there is almost no information, very good videos again, thank you.
Hey man great videos, I took advantage of my forced vacation to build a simple efi controller that can “self Tune”, using an arduino, an expansion board, and an old Holley ProJection 2D setup. I’m also working on an under hood body harness with a relay board / distribution block that plugs into the factory bulkhead
if you have a budget and you're looking for a alignment on your vehicle I suggest using a piece of string. just tie the string to something heavy in front of your vehicle take the string and wrap it around the back tires all the way around to the front of the opposite side and then take the two items that you are going to tie the string to and position them within a centimeter of the front tire walls... straighten out the steering wheel and you will immediately see which tire or which wheel is out of alignment. you can then get up underneath there and loosen up the lock nuts on the tie rods and adjust accordingly. be sure to tow in a 16th of an inch also one of the things you keep in mind is that if you raise the front end of the vehicle you are not going to do a very good job of alignment. I suggest placing the vehicle on a very smooth surface and after getting your adjustment roll the vehicle forward about a foot and then back and recheck and readjust if needed. this can take some time so be prepared to spend a couple hours fine tuning your alignment. your vehicle will drive straight as a nail down the freeway and will handle much much better. your wallet will remain untouched and unmolested
I'm curious to see what the wheel specs will be to see how much you can tuck the wheel in and how far it comes out to the fender. The only thirdgen cars I am aware of that successfully run 18x11 on the front is the Detroit Speed and Engineering 87 Camaro, and a customers car Jay Hahn's 92 Camaro. Both of which seem to tuck the wheel and tires just under the fender lip.
Nice video! I’ve been planning to do one on how to fit 315s on my Evo. Lots of cutting involved there too! Lol

I half expected to see a sledgehammer. While disappointed - this is an excellent class on the project and how to make a video. Dude. You rock.

Awesome walkthrough, man!
I had to cut must of that out already due to rust. Looks like I've got half the work done already lol.
WOW! Looking forward to hearing how well the car handles on the track.

Think I'd be able to fit 18x10.5 with +55 offset and 7.9 backspacing? Trying to find wide wheels that'll fit with my new 4th gen rear end
if you have a budget and you're looking for a alignment on your vehicle I suggest using a piece of string.
just tie the string to something heavy in front of your vehicle take the string and wrap it around the back tires all the way around to the front of the opposite side and then take the two items that you are going to tie the string to and position them within a centimeter of the front tire walls...
straighten out the steering wheel and you will immediately see which tire or which wheel is out of alignment.
you can then get up underneath there and loosen up the lock nuts on the tie rods and adjust accordingly.
be sure to tow in a 16th of an inch

Where do I buy hiem joints and solid spacers in susp?
most if not all 3rd gen websites have ROD-End suspension pieces. things like LCA, Pan hard bars ex ex
Dam. I didn't know they made a tool specifically for that. Thats awesome.

i'll get into wheel back spacing in the 3rd video. but i'm using the same back spacing as Jay and DSE.
This was the video I needed
That looks really good thanks for information good job 👍
Good looking third gen camaro
Please do a video for fitting the biggest tires in back too.
a rear video with the same tires/tool will drop in 2 weeks
@Dave Stephens well, i got 18x11s to fit on all 4 corners.
Just found your channel great job!!👍🏼
Terrific videos! !!!!!! Thank you
Why all that keep it as it is
I have 275 up front and 295 in the back
@Dave Stephens I could do that, but ill probably leave it the way my dad left it for me before he passed away
what wheel backspacing?
That looks like a sick ass rim
that is a big tire.
