Been a long time since I've updated this thread.  I finally changed out the wheels on the Chevelle and bought new(wider) tires for it.  I also did a 2 stage paint correction on it.  Before and after p

But it will be exposed to the elements. That storm doesn't look friendly.  YOUR PAINT IS TAINTED! Tow it home Ryan, Quick!

No interest in doing a LS swap into your Camaro?

Been looking into engine swaps in Camaros for the last couple months...might be my next project. Huge fan of the black and blue.

My convertible sat out in Ohio during winter for 2 months. I will have time to detail before spring

I highly recommend this. Helped with a LS3 Cruise and connect package on a buddies ‘69 convertible Camaro and it is fantastic. Of course he has a bunch of frame/suspension upgrades too which really make it fly.

I put a LS376/495 in my 96 Vette. Exactly what it needed. Already handled beautifully, but an extra 160hp really brought her into her own. [emoji106]

The 2012 is an L99


Ryan B.


Which is the same engine as the LS3...the L99 just has AFM & Flex Fuel.

While it shares the same platform as an LS3, the L99 is not the same as an LS3. Different Cam, different Pistons, slightly different compression ratio, less horsepower (400hp vs. 430hp). Besides, swapping an LS3, LS7 or even an LSX isn't going to fix the biggest flaw in tracking Ryan's car, it's a convertible... As he's stated in previous posts, he wanted to swap to a coupe for a more track friendly car. That and swapping to an LS7, doesn't get you the better brakes, or suspension the 1LE has stock. 

 

 

Ryan did you get the auto or the manual? I hear the auto is the faster of the two.

You can’t get a 1LE with an auto. Manual only

That's right forgot, I just remember reading about the auto being faster. Just forgot they were just SS car's.

Auto is always faster - no human can shift as precise and as quick. That said, at least in '11 when my buddy's Camaro was new, the manual had a few more HP at the crank.

 

No idea what the engine designation is - all I know is it's a 6.2. Too many damn acronyms today - I can't store them all in my small brain. 

 

That car is a convertible too - guarantee it's faster than anything  out of any factory today. He's got a few goodies under the hood. :)

Not true. Auto's have always had consistency over a manual, but the older manuals are often faster then there auto counterparts, when in the right hands.

Always? Two speeds, three speeds where easily out done in the 1/4 mile by four speed transmission. I ran a few inline shifters in the seventies and eighties. Now the five and six speeds manual was a little more challenging.

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
