Hey guys! Thought I would throw this out to see if any of you know anyone who would want to buy my Camaro I'm selling now. I haven't had a chance to bring it up to Flashbacks because of my new work schedule. I just have no interest in fixing it up anymore and I'd like to get started finishing our basement with the money when it sells.

I don't I turned around and sold it on Cobaltss.net and made profit off the whole thing.

After tonight I don't even want to look at the car. I hit the railroad tracks on 156th and center well i hit it so hard that it broke the stabilzer bracket off my intake and then the tube ripped out of the coupler... didn't realize that until i pulled into the autozone parking lot to have my Check engine light read. Car was shifting like a 12 year old learning how to drive a clutch and had no power.

Popped the hood and Brad (Yea, i know the guy at autozone) just starts laughing his ass off.

Unhooked the battery, fixed the intake, plugged the battery back in and fired it up... no light, clean shifts, but another..... yet another tire with broken cords.

I honestly have thought so much about stripping the car, selling all the parts and buying a silver LS Sport. Tinting the windows, lowering it and slapping some 18" black wheels on it and calling it a day.

But I say that like 3 times a week.

Getting a lot of hits on Craigslist, but getting a lot of shady people. I haven't tried nestreetscene yet...may try that next.

I have it listed for $4600 or best offer......it lists from $4K to 11K on NADA.

Hey brandon I found out today that in order to replace that faulty wheel speed sensor, you have to replace the entire hub assymbly... upwards of $250.

Let's pray to god that the dealer will fix it under warrenty.

Did you find out for sure that is a WSS problem steve?

Well an OBD2 reader won't pick it up because the ABS ilght is not part of the "Check Engine Light". So I am still going off that assumption.

Did I mention I got hired finally at Paypal?

so ur gonna sell ur car because you drove too fast over a set of tracks? Sure that's the car's fault



Re: Omaha and surrounding area's... (clean)

better than selling it because I painted pink triangles on it .

I'm keeping it, you all should no better. The money invested sadly can't be returned to my check book or swapped to another car, so might as well keep it.

I'm thinking about having the car tuned though. Tri-fecta has a canned tune that removes the PE delay and improves gas milage at the same time

The PE delay basically has the car running super lean until around 3k rpm. With the tune, it runs normal and you receive the power the motor atually puts out that gm squeezed out for gas mileage.

first off, gm tuned it to run lean so it would get better mileage. by richening it up the gas mileage is going to get worse.



Re: Omaha and surrounding area's... (clean)

Yea the problem is then also that as soon as you hit the powerband it runs really rich.

GM Engineers < Tuning

I will see if I can't bring up the data sheets for you on the PE Delay.

Either way I would experience low end gain which is what I want really want.
