    My 88 SuperEta

    So, I've had this car for about 4 years...second owner...first was a family friend (girl) who bought it new in 88...it has 269k (5/16/09) on the motor...
    Im in the process of stroking it to a 2.7i...have most the parts....waiting on a reground 272 cam and funds for seals, etc...
    Have lots of plans for it this summer...bumper tuck/the 2.7i stroke/3.73 LSD diff swap.
    In the long run...i'd like to turbo it...but that will be far away...heh.
    So heres some pics...
    (Yes i know i need the is lip. I'm looking for one.)











    Here's some teasers...My real toy. haha. no offense...I love my bmw...but not as much as this...67 Camaro RS <327> Bored out. wilder cam. headers. custom exhaust 12 bolt possi...



    Pic of engine w/o fenders, headers, etc...

    Dear lord did you just paint your windows black?

    Other than that, awesome eta! Looks so mean. You'd like it more than your camaro with an s52 swap though :p

    That American muscle looks pretty hot though.

              You've got a great starting point there! I wouldn't bother tucking the bumpers; since you have an '88 you can bolt plastics right up to it with no modifications.

                  Nope, u.s. bumpers will bolt right up. But I say don't bother tucking the bumpers, they're shorter than regular diving boards on 88s and when you tuck them it just makes a big goofy looking gap between the aluminum part and the rubber trim. Also they look pretty good since they're painted black.

                  Nice car, clean paint and wheels

                          The shocks are just over one inch shorter.
