I just got my first camaro, she is a 1998 red z28 and shes manual ! ..everything exterior is stock..however the brakes and exhaust (flowmasters) is aftermarket.. where should i start modifying?

 

the question isnt where to start but what do you want and how much can you spend?


also welcome to the forum and

 

Look at the sticky at the top of this sub forum for a write up on basic modifications. And yea, it's not about where but about $$$$ and what direction you want to take things.

 

I understand its a muscle car, but i kind of want to work on exterior first then exhaust.. i dont know when itl need a rebuilt or new clutch, so i need to keep some money left over.. so give or take 1-2g maximum?

 

Personally I would go with beneficial mods before I spent cash in the looks dpt. Exhaust, CAI, Headers/ORY...basically the bolt on stuff.

Keep money for basic maintenance and repair as it's needed and save the rest. When something like a blown head gasket occurs you'll have the cash and it will also be a good time to go ahead and get head work done while they're off. It's like a long drawn out random plan haha

 

these cars arnt real customizable looks wise... sure you could rice out and get a body kit or some big fugly wing but why would you want to do that i agree jguy throw 500$ into a savings account and DONT touch it thats you "ohh crap my car just broke" fund take the rest and create some real V8 power

 

I'm trying to get mine all tuned up and all the gremlins out before I bother wondering about what I'm putting in it. I do have a short build list going but that's a future project. I'll be doing heads, intake, headers, and exhaust hopefully all in one straight shot or at least within close range of each other time frame wise. I wouldn't recommend spending any cash too quickly, give it awhile and get use to the car and drive it for awhile. You never know what type of problems will pop up within a few hundred miles, it happened to me :/

 

Get some wheels, 18" looks great on a stock height fbody.

well i have about 3g besides that 1-2g im willing to spend so i am prepared incase something goes wrong with the car.. and the tires are already 18" as well..anything else you guys think i should work on?
