New From South Florida. Wants To Get Involved With Cars.

Hey everyone, I am new to these forums. I have a 1996 z28 Camaro. I bought it about 3 months ago. Only 70k miles. It is in great shape too. Put about $3000 into repairs on it.

Only mods are an aftermarket chip, and flowmaster exhaust. Going to add some more after I make a little extra money.

I am only 15 by the way.

I want to get involved into cars, fixing them, painting them, and pretty much everything with them.

So where can I get started? I was told to join a forum and ask questions, so here I am. lol.

Anyway where can I get started in fixing and building cars?

Thanks.

Welcome to the board.

Start reading... Ask questions. How to get started? I recommend reading information here and learning about your car as a starting point.

Welcome to the board!

By the way, a 1996 Z28 doesn't have a replaceable "chip"; rather, it has a programmable powertrain control module (PCM). I'm not sure what exactly you bought, but I sincerely doubt that "aftermarket chip" is an appropriate way to describe it.

great to see more youngsters getting into these cars. That's kinda funny for me to say that since a bunch of the car guys I know are considerably older than me & I am twice Dallas' age!
