New PDX guy

Just bought my first Camaro, second f-body as you can see in my sig. It's a teal '95 Z28 w/ around 73k on it. It's in pretty good shape but I think the water pump is starting to leak and there's a small oil leak at the back of the intake manifold. Oh well. Every time I get in it and feel the power it makes it all worth it. Hope to post on a regular basis so I'll talk to you guys later. PEACE!

P.S. Any Portland area guys on here?

Re: New PDX guy

personally id do the electric water pump swap, depends on what your budget is. but dont wait too long, or you will be doing an opti swap as well.

Re: New PDX guy

REPLACE YOUR WATERPUMP ASAP

mine was leaking...i didn't know much about how the optispark system worked at that time. fried my optispark and had to get a new waterpump

1200$ = not cool

ESPECIALLY 3 months after you just bought the car lol...i was considering selling it for a little while there ahah but i did some research and realized how/why it happened

Re: New PDX guy

I'm currently saving up money to fix the water pump and the oil leak. I also hope to add a few bolt-ons soon. How hard is the electric pump upgrade?
