Advice on a 92 v8?
This is the car.. Im looking to buy.. and Im always day dreaming and getting my hopes up l;ol.. so Im already wanting to do things with it.. Im 19 and a waiter so cash flow wilkl be limited at times but i make ok money... anyway without further adeu (or w/e)...
The Car
Not sure the engine specs but I will have them soon I hope.. Im basically asking what I should go into first? Says it has exhaust done.. if you have any ideas what to start off with lemme know please.. im not too familiar with the 3rd gens.. Currently driving the 96 RS mommy-mobile
... if you could support your ideas with some links id be VERY greatful.. im looking for leather seat covers also if anyone has a good site..
Thanks for your time

by the looks of the rs grille, i'd say it's an rs which means 305 tbi
your "mommy-mobile" 96 will outrun it stock for stock
i might suggest looking for a z28 or an iroc-z if you want the best performance
then again, it may have a swapped 350 in it
get us some more details and we can help ya out further
o, and leather seat covers for your 4th gen or the 3rd gen you wanna buy? if third gen, this might work

Basically Im not gonna put any money into the 96 cause I wont be keeping it.. if I was .. I had big plans :P .. I should (hopefully) be going to see the car this weekend so ill have more info.. if not Ill just call the people and bother em

I think that the teal color is by far the ugliest color on any third gen. Then i would have to say silver/grey. All bad colors on the car. i think the coolest third gen i have ever seen was yellow. When i have the $$$ to repaint, its going to be yellow.

it seems like you got some money (if you're going to repaint, i'd say so) so why not just get a z28 or an iroc with an engine that can go 1-2 seconds faster? plus you get the sweetness of saying "i own an iroc (or z28)"
i think you could find a nice z28 near you for around the same price and still in alright condition
check thirdgen.org/classifieds also, good place to look for a 3rd gen

this comin from some1 with a V6 RS
lol j/pbut yeah its a ncie car, but ur lookin for a performer the tbi wont be much better than ur momy-mobile as you say....look for a roc or a Z
Well thing is.. Im basically looking for Z's.. UI was hoping maybe they just put v8 instead of z28. lol... anyway Ive been looking for 4th gens mostly .. i saw a perfect one.. 1500 cash + take over payments (14k) for a 99 z28 ttops 6 speed with 30k miles..
.. but I cant get a loan yet. Anyway.. yeah im looking for z's basically.. Ill have this car for a while.. so im not looking to make any quick decisions.. I want a keeper instead of something to hold me off.

hey bro, I say get the car! $hit, if that car was for sale in my area I would buy it in a heartbeat as long as its in decent condition. It says it has low miles and looks to be in good condition and 2,700 is a damn good price for a 92. Even has a nice 4 inch cowl
hell, you could probably talk him down a couple hundred too. the value of 3rd gens over here is pretty high. people ask 4,000 for rs's in sh*ty condition. one dealer over here wants 9k for a 92 Z
yeah its an rs but thats ok, just build that baby up
keep us updated!

yeah ill still check it out and see whats in it.. I dont have a prob driving an rs.. id be proud :P I was gonna get the 96 rs before.. and was damn happy with my plans for it. Ill see whats in it and see what I can do with it with the money Ill have.. if its not worth it Ill save up for a 4th gen z28 like I planned.. more to start out with imo.
