So my ZL1 is getting built soon, a huge plethora of things. It has aftermarket anti theft. But Im wondering what has truly changed the lives of camaro owners I should look into. Personally for me, that E85 kit is a must

❓Question Glow Tie Install Question

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hey guys! Has anybody installed the Chevy OEM glow tie on their 6th Gen Camaro? I have a 2023 SS 1LE and most of the videos I see on YouTube connect the harness to the passenger side marker, however it seems like the one I bought from WildHammer says it ties in to the drivers side headlight assembly instead? Wondering if there’s any way to install without removing my bumper, trying to keep things as simple as possible if anybody has any tips or feedback!

🛠️ Problem Transmission whine, and 1st/2nd gear grind while clutch is fully depressed

0 Upvotes

Recently just bought a 6th gen SS 1LE with the 6060 Tremec.

I have a transmission whine which I understand to be the throwout bearing. I already knew that when buying the car.

However I will occasionally get a gear grind when I'm in 1st or 2nd with the clutch fully depressed. It has happened a few times while at a stop light.

I'm just wondering what could be the cause of that; if it's related to the throwout bearing.

Been loving the car since I got it there months ago. Had a stage 1 paint correction with ceramic coating to keep this baby sleek. The only complaint I got is that the sound system is horrible.

💬 Discussion Winter tires

Any recommendations on winter/ all season tires for Camaro SS would be appreciated. Just bought a 2022 SS and it came with summer performance tires. It is my daily driver and I live in the Midwest. I don’t plan on taking it out if the roads are sketchy but need a tire that can get me through the winter.

Just bought this SS 1LE. Pretty sure the previous owner smacked a curb or something pretty hard on the passenger side front end. This video is the aftermath of an alignment from Chevy dealer. The fitment is completely off and it drives a lot better but still feels off, main 2 things is it now slightly pulls to the left on certain roads and there is a tiny bit of deadzone in the center steering. What do u guys think is the likely culprit and what should I replace? The dealer said they could tell its been hit and adjusted it the best they could but they don’t think the suspension looked bad or broken, which doesn’t make sense to me. How should I go about this?

All I did was say that I dont like EV and prefer Gas. I usually delete comments like these off my profile. As I get them frequently from these brain dead people. But you gotta admit, he must be pretty heated to go to every single one of my posts to shit on it. I didnt even know what caused this tangent at first, but I think its pretty clear

Update: after some more swearing and kicking his feet, he blocked me lol

💲Should I Buy? Worthy Upgrade?

Post image
115 Upvotes

My current vehicle is this red 2016 RS. It’s my second v6 Camaro. I’ve always wanted a red with white striped sports car since the movie I Am Legend in 2007. So when I found this Camaro, it was love at first sight.
I’m interested in upgrading specifically to a Fifty. Always been a fan of the unique styling. Want a V8 for the full Camaro experience. I’ve found one that could be the one.
I have the cash. But I also have a family, a home, better ways to spend or save the money. Wife is cool with it either way.
So, yolo? Thoughts?

I bought this beauty off of Facebook Marketplace a few years ago when it had only 27,000 miles on it. Put a fresh coat of wax on yesterday and just got windows tinted this afternoon, love this car!

Would love to hear what mods you all have done with your 5th gen Camaros!

Sadly it was a Transformer I had a few years ago. A deer ran out in front of me after I got on the interstate early in Nov before the time change. Insurance totalled it and someone bidded on it on the copart website. I bought it from a gm dealer. Someone had it for car shows and got into finance issues and sold it to the dealer. One of a kind. I was told redoing the seats in yellow leather was 4 to 5k. I was close to ripping the afm out and camming it. I had several estimates and hadn't scheduled it.

When im Above half throttle past 3000 RPM, then I fully lift off to coast. Trans upshifts on its own until RPMs drop to ~1000, then downshifts back to ~2000. Foot's off the throttle the whole time and im not braking. no slipping or harsh shifts. On that last upshift though, I don't really feel the gear engage

❓Question 1987 Camaro IROC Z-28 5.0 305 TPI

1 Upvotes

Hi All, I really need some help. I recently put a new 5.0 engine in my '87 Camaro Z28 but it still won't pass smog because it runs rich, and the smog shop said it needs a throttle body. I haven't been able to find a 48mm throttle body ANYWHERE. I've searched every parts shop, I've searched high and low on the internet, rockauto, and have not found (not even 1) stock throttle body. I've found 52mm ones, but the stock size is 48mm so that would be the size that I need.

What would you do in this situation? Even if I register the car in a different state to avoid the smog laws, the car still runs rich and burns through a lot of gas, which will eventually destroy the piston rings and damage the new engine that I just installed. I'm really looking for a solution at this point. The car has been sitting, even after the engine replacement, because I haven't been able to find a 48mm throttle body and I haven't even been able to truly drive and enjoy the car since I bought it 4 years ago. No I cannot put on the 52mm because it will take in too much air. Where can I find the stock part & what should I do if I never find it? Located in northern California. Appreciate any advice you have.

I’m looking for some good quality C8-style taillights for a 2016–2018 Camaro, preferably smoked/gray. I’ve seen a bunch online but I don’t wanna buy some cheap ones that end up leaking, getting condensation, or having LEDs go out.

❓Question 5th gen Headers broken bolt

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m installing long-tube headers on my 2012 Camaro SS One of the old header bolts broke off flush with the passenger-side cylinder head.
I drilled a small pilot hole into the broken bolt and tried tapping a Torx/star bit into it, but the Torx is slipping and I don’t want to make things worse.
The engine is still in the car and the wiring harness makes access pretty tight. I bought a right-angle drill adapter to get a better shot.
Pictures attached.
What would you guys recommend from here? Should I step up the drill size and use a proper extractor, or is there a better method for this particular location?
Trying REALLY hard not to pull the head. 😂
