My 91 B4C T5 is up to 22k miles; it gets driven (mostly for fun). The stock LB9 T5 N10 with factory 3.42s will break the rear end loose; these cars were quick for their time. Spending money on it, but just to keep it stock, clean, and running as it left the factory. Recently replaced the rubber in the suspension and the factory shocks with some Bilsteins. May get the GFX touched up - the passenger side piece has lost its clear and is starting to yellow fairly quick. Doesn't show in these pics.

18" CCW Classics / BBS RS, some nice looking brakes, and a drop are still tempting, though... it already has an aftermarket muffler and a Hurst shifter is sitting in the garage still new in the box. On the fence.

Always loved your car on TGO. Can't wait to see this with some CCW's!

Figure I will bump it up and keep this alive.

Been lurking for a while. Originally signed up looking for info on doing a 67 Chevelle then decided with a baby on the way to just pickup another 3rd gen and go back to my roots.

Picked this one up last Fall. Was a low mile original car in nice shape.. Decided to take care of suspension/braking first while building a turbo 5.3L setup on the side..

1987 Z28
60k mile (97k km, Canadian)
Koni Yellows all around
Ground Control Weight Jacks 850lbs front, 175lbs rears.
Tubular Rear arms
Adjustable Panhard
Custom Panhard Relocation made myself to clear my 3.5" exhaust
Custom TQ Arm made myself (BMR Track pack copy)
Poly control/sway bushings
C5 Z06 Front brakes with GMPP Slotted/drilled rotors
1997 LT1 F-body Rear Brakes
1998 Camaro SS Rear end 3.23 Posi
1998 Camaro SS Rims 275/40's on all 4 corners

So far been enjoying it. slow as sin but looks good and handles well. Need to figure something out for bump steer though. Its pretty horrible being so low and I cannot fit a bump steer kit in the front since they hit the rims. Thinking maybe a taller ball joint. Maybe that will help a bit.

Jay that is a very clean looking car. Keep it up

I ran into a a set of ultra rare OE JDM fender flares used on some? 3rd gens for Japanese export. I had no intention on running these, but I had to "stick" them one for a couple photos. Figured If any one ever thought that they wanted the look this is a way of getting it with OE parts.

That is all

Those are interesting! Been considering something like that for a while, its hard to modify and 3rd gen tastefully....

**LS1-IROC** · 07-07-2014

I kinda like those Brandon. It's too bad the ends don't blend back into the fenders more though. They do a nice job of adding some bulk to the sides of the car, which is nice.

It looks cool for sure. Totally different than I have every seen on a third gen so I had to just share them with you guys.

I think that the shape of the actual flare looks better than most I have seen. The way it meets the body front and rear is not good enough for my tastes... makes me wish I knew someone that worked with fiberglass to make a mold of these cause they would look great if they could be blended into the panels.

How do they attach? Ug...if only I had more spare time...I used to do fiberglass work when I was younger....

They use a two self tapping screws into the inner edge of the fender lip, then double sided tape to the body. They are made of a foamy rubber type material, but are painted smooth. I understand the lack of time. My 9" build took every bit of my time allowance for a bit lol. I'd send them to ya to do some molding or something if you thought you could find the time. I planned on holding onto these and sell them to someone that thought they wanted them more than me since they are just weird rare here in the states.
