I just recently bought a 98 camaro coupe with the 3.8L v6.She will be a project for my commuting to make it as fun as possible without breaking the bank or my wife's patience. I need advice on a couple of things. First, the tint on the back window peeled off so i finished killing it. However the glue film is still attached. Since it is winter, how do I go about removing it since not many hot sunny days available. Second, how the hell do you get the shoft **** off? that thing is tighter than I imagined. Third, CAI suggestions if any. Thanks.[&:]

 

Hello 98coupe welcome and thanks for joing CF. Ammonia or an ammonia based cleaning agent should get your tint glue off. If you have an automatic transmission then there is a pin holding the shift **** in on the part facing the front console/HVAC controls (if you have a manual trans then someone else please chime in) For your intake I personally think a good reusable air filter and a Whisper Motorsports air lid is sufficient. Some people might say otherwise, and it also depends on what else you have planned to do to your car.

 

I like the whisper lid my self. Great function and looks for 180 bucks and comes with K&N filter. If you are set on going to a CIA set up then SLP and arizona speed and marine make good intakes. Personaly i like the lid it looks clean and functions just as well as any CIA.

 

Thanks for the quick responses. I will go the whisper lid ,,I like the clean look as well. Any links to order one?
I have a 5spd manual and the freaking **** is tight,,it wont budge and I guess i will have to try the vise grips (with cover cloth) solution to get a better grip.

 

Should just have to twist harder.

They are listed as 139.99 i am not sure if it comes with the K&N with that or not. I paid 180.00 for mine with K&N and i would recomend adding the filter for best results.

 

Wow,,great stuff guys. Harder! Harder! she said, and voila, off it goes. Thanks for the link,,now to get the freaking tint glue off my back window [X(]. Which brings another question, it appears i do not have rear window defogger ,,is that unusual in these f-bodies?[>:]

 

lol. No it is normal.

 

Try goo-be-gone, or Goof-Off. Any "goo" removing agent should work.
