Hello from Detroit Motor City!

Hey all! New to the F-body world, just picked this up over the weekend!

3800, T5, T-tops, 118k, no rust.

Bought it to use as a DD. Has a few quirks, things like a few switches are not working, somebody stole the radio and somehow that caused the odometer to not display (backlight still works), several fuses are burnt out and several light bulbs are out as well. Needs interior cleaned, etc.. Nothing too major anyway.

Runs great, pulls hard for a 3800 compared to the automagic cars I've ridden in anyway. Needs nothing to drive, but there is some hillbilly going on with it that I want to delete before too long. The biggest issue is the shifter - which I will start a separate thread in the appropriate subforum - looks like somebody turned a Hurst shifter kit into a tragedy..

I should be able to figure most of these out on my own, but looking for a good group of people to talk to in case I run into any roadblocks. I've spent a lot of time in the FWD 3800 crowd, I've got a twincharged '93 Bonneville with a 6-speed manual (F40), built not bought.. Engineer by trade, constantly learning new things by hobby.

So, hello!

Welcome to CamaroZ28.com!!!

Looks pretty good on the outside. Should be a great DD after you tweak the minor problems. Good luck with it.

PS: Love the color.

In my case, the turbo feeds into the SC. They operate almost in parallel: once the turbo spools up the SC bypass valve opens to 'turn it off'.
