Some asked for pix. Enjoy.

I've added some notes to each pick, that I think you'd enjoy.

One night last summer, before heading to Weston and 7 Costco, I stopped in at Tims at Weston and 401. Low and behold a beautiful 1967 Camaro was at the end of the parking lot. Started chatting with the guy, who explained his plans with the car. In the middle of our conversation 4 fire trucks pulled up to the Business Depot the two of us were parked in front of. A false alarm, but it made for a great few pix.





Let me take the driver's seat for a pick.



Last summer outside my parents place.







At one of our annual BBQs.



An hour after I picked up the car. That smile doesn't begin to explain. I hit the 407 right after, and just cruised at 105 km/hr.

Last year in North Carolina (I have family there, and drive down two or three times a year), on a backroad some Country kids were yellin' for me to tear it up one time on the back roads. How can you deny them their request?

*Right after.





*Went back the next day.





That was a nice snapshot of summer for me... ahhh...

DR.ZED I'm looking for some information and I imagine you would have some info to help. My g/f currently owns 2 1985 camaro's that we're going to restore. She has a Berlinetta and T-top coupe. As these are not in the best of condition I'll be looking for all kinds of body panels and HP extra's.

I was wondering if you have any sites especially canadian that contains similar info as TCC.

Thanks Karl

There are a lot of third gen boards that are a good place to start.

Specifically:

1) www.camaroz28.com (third gen section).
2) http://www.thirdgenresource.com/
3) http://www.thirdgen.org/

Start there first.

Just a tid bit, in a RWD drive, the limited slip is controll at the rear-end side of things.

The differential has the same gears, ring and pinion, just the "insert" if you will, that connects the two drive shafts is the actual limited slip unit.

Take a peek:

Ring and pinion gears.



Differential: (This one is a Zexel Torsen. Strong!)



OEM differential:

Ways of Getting Big Hp outta an american car. K&N Filter/ New exhaust you go from about 100hp baby that can't breath to a BEAST the sreams drives past oh ya 2 more works. SUPER CHARGER.

Unlike many people on the site I am a CAR LOVER. The civic Might be at the top of the list but I'll admire just about anything.

Keep up the great work.

Nice strips of rubber. We used to terrorize Ottawa long ago when I lived there in a ** Mustang 289 auto and a 76 monte carlo 350. Both on Cragar S/S rims, 10" slicks in the back, air shocks on the stang....we tore isht up!!! I love old muscle, but I also find Civics just as much fun and even more practical. And I do have a mullet
