My '91 Camaro RS

[Sushi]

I totally agree, the ride is awful, the interior is sparse (not even a fkign glovebox) and it's not very fast....but....I love it, and with a little time, TLC, and money thrown it's direction most of these things can be rectified.

Nice car, always had a hankering for something simillar. How bad is insurance on these?

they go down as an import? classic? performence car? specialist?

thanks, and sorry for hi-jack.

[Sushi]

classic car insurance, 5k miles a year, kept on drive overnight, +-£290 for the year

[mgmrw]

what age (if you don't mind me asking)?

just worried that 24 year old, 4years NCB, and 6points declarable, may be an issue.

[Sushi]

32, classic car insurance doesn't take NCB into account, and 3 points declarable but expired.

may have a look. Thanks. Torn between something like that, a 944 or an explorer as a bit of fun

I can't quite describe the feeling as you hit the brakes while doing 70 miles an hour on the M3 only to hear a clattering sound come from your passenger front then dissapearing off behind you, looking in the rearview mirror and seeing the vague outline of something sparking as it bounces away, and so it was that I bid fairwell to my passenger front caliper bolts yesterday.


While these parts are not readily available from my local Camberley autofactors Trevor down at Surrey Mustang in borden managed to fabricate some new bolts using one of the drivers side bolts as a template, so I once again have working brakes.

I had the same issue a few years ago in my old tvr i heard a ping under the chassis after sitting on the motor way. And i torqued them right up as well only a few days before. the very course threads do not help so i used loctite and never had the issue again. I think it was alot to do with vibration of the v8 working it out.
