My name is Nathan and Im from the Findlay area. I have a 93 Z28 Camaro with a couple bolt ons:devil:. I have had it for about a year and a half. About a month after i bought it one of the bolts that holds down the SS cold air intake got sucked in my motor and shattered one of my pistons. My dad and i pulled the motor out and i bought a short block and put my top end on it with a couple more bolt ons. Got the 6 speed trans rebuilt and a new clutch and havent had any major problems yet.

Another 93?? WTF??? Where you guys coming from?? :D

Nice carnage!!!! Admittedly it's kind of amusing staring at a wrist pin on a rod still connected like that.

I was a little mad at first since i only had the car for a month. I should post up the picture of the bolt and piston. All you can do is laugh bout it i guess. Its only money. I still have a lot of plans for the car. I want to get gears, sub-frame connecters, and spray next.

[Fixxer99TA]

Nice car, sounds like some even better plans too. Welcome to the forum!

Sucks about the motor though, but it always gets rebuilt bigger and better :D

[KissMyWhtSS]

Sucks.... hopefully you didn't have to pay $$$ on a car you can't use.

[LT4SLOMARO]

What do you mean by that.

[jaysz2893]

he means like making monthly payments on a car loan

[LT4SLOMARO]

Oh, nope paid for it in cash for 4,400 when i was 17.

fair enough. I could never imagine writing a car payment check for a car I couldn't drive. :jest:

[LT4SLOMARO]

Yea that would suck and might have made me more mad than i was at the time.:D

[KissMyWhtSS]

Yea that would suck and might have made me more mad than i was at the time.:D
That really sucks though. I'd go check mine but I figure if mine hasn't went in by now it isn't. :laugh:

[Milk Man]

Thanks for the help. I will have to work something out b/c i dont think i have paypal or a credit card. Maybe i can give my dad the cash and send it through him.

That's quite a deal on that intake bolt :( ...No cars can be perfect though.

[LT4SLOMARO]

Yea, ever since i got my car back together I havent put the bolts in for my SS CAI.
