What gear ratio? Because if it's the 2.73 I'm sorry. My 89 9 bolt BW had them. Cost about $1000 to swap to 3.70s bc the stupid 2 series carrier. I ordered a new 3 series from 9bolt.com.

I hated the 2.73. The 3.70 are niiiice!

Where you live in ohio? I see county 45 and I'm too lazy to look it up right now.

jrhaus76

Screw front plates. Stupid ohio.

86'sportcoupe

They are the 2.77s unfortunately, kind of sucks but oh well, and Im just a little east of columbus

jrhaus76

Yea 2.77 lol 2.77, 2.73. Sucks either way! Ok I'm east of Cincinnati.

86'sportcoupe

especially sucks since my cam really hates tall gears lol I may just sell that and look for something with shorter gears, I just dont want to get rid of my pbr brakes!

jrhaus76

Find a used 3 series 9 bolt carrier and swap that and you can put whatever you want in. I was limited by time and wanted a fresh rebuilt one do I dropped the $500 or so on one from 9bolt.com. Can be had cheaper.

86'sportcoupe

Well either way that really isnt in the budget for me, Im broke lol

jrhaus76

Lol

86'sportcoupe

Looks like that double posted, weird

First full detail today! Also exhaust came off to mod for some extra ground clearance, headers are coming off for paint, intake is coming off for porting. lots of projects to get done on top of that stuff, busy spring ahead!

Nice ride!

What steering wheel is that? I like it!

86'sportcoupe

Thanks! big fan of your car as well, and that is a superior 500 wheel from the mid 60s, my dad had it hanging on the garage wall forever so I took it down, restored it and threw it on the car, I love it!

86'sportcoupe

Also got a nice pic today too

86'sportcoupe

Is it supposed to be painted? lol

86'sportcoupe

Not much to update, ran into a small oil leak issue, thought it was the pan but ended up being mostly valve covers, so now my old Mickeys are back on finally

Good looking Sport Coupe, by the way, in case I haven't seen so before.

86'sportcoupe

gsmarcano

nice looking, great job man.

Scored a truck load of parts today, price I couldnt refuse, among the parts were these wheels, I usually dont like them but they dont look bad at all, quick flip, $10 for these, brand new tires on the back


cleaned up well

hillntx

M/T valve covers, chrome Cragar Sawblades - nice period correct mods! Now all you need is some under car neon and you'll have one of the hot cars from my high school days back in the 80's.

kmcn47

under car neon? on camaros? people do that?

hillntx

they used to.

86'sportcoupe

lol yeah I wanted the old vibe, but these wheels wont last more than a few days on there, going up on cl or onto my dads 67. Getting my IROC wheels in a few weeks

SeriouslySinnin

Love them wheels. Id keep them in a hurry...

86'sportcoupe

am I the only one that doesnt like them? lol 14" pizza cutters

hillntx

They're clean and fit the look of the mid 80's sport coupe; gives it a real nostalgic look since not many people are running them anymore. Use them until you wear out the tires while you save for what you really want. They look better than the z28 wheels you had on it.

SeriouslySinnin

Those just say Muscle Car to me...

86'sportcoupe

That is exactly the theme of the car, but still they are pizza cutters lol the front tires are JUNK, these wheels will end up on my dads 67 since it needs 2 tires, and the rears are brand new

86'sportcoupe

Check out the new shirt! Courtesy of Watson's Stickers. Opted to get Mu11et Militia at the bottom, which is mw66nova's 3rd gen group on fb, check it out!

86'sportcoupe

kmcn47

86'sportcoupe

Thanks man, and as soon as possible just been busy. Weather doesnt help much either, shooting to get the new setup on by this weekend, here is the new stuff 2.75" mandrel bent intermediate, no cat this time. Although that pypes muffler will be ditched in favor of my current bullet, keeping the no tail pipes theme

Zeifer

That car is so clean. I love it.

86'sportcoupe

Thanks zeifer! Gasser...

90camaro355rs

86'sportcoupe

Alright guys, last few days I have been restoring these Irocs, sanding, polishing and painting. Turned out awesome! Center caps are coming soon.

Nice car, I love seeing clean sports coupes. Have you ever considered removing the bump guards on the doors?

86'sportcoupe

I have, but I cant, the car has rust issues, taking them off would show some of the hidden rust

Termn8r

Nice car man! Why do people not like the bumpers on the doors? I just had mine repainted and I was talked into not putting them back on but it feels almost weird that they are not there.

86'sportcoupe

Car is up in the air for some work, lots of things to do before the GM nationals! Got a lot done today and will continue tomorrow morning. Today we did ebrake cables, took out the heater core to replace it (new one didnt fit, just blocked it off for now) Still have to finsh the last bit of the cables, hang the new exhaust, change rear springs and cut the front springs tomorrow, it's getting there! Also below is more photoshop lowering, more rake than I wanted, but Im not very good at photoshop lol

86'sportcoupe

Here are a few pics I've snapped recently, and notice the new center caps, guess how much they cost me? Nope, you're wrong! About $5, engine freeze plugs!
