Project: 1994 Camaro Z28

[harner]

So I picked up another toy last weekend (4/8/2015). I think the previous owner was a member on here, but I may be wrong. I bought the car for my girlfriend as an attempt to get her into the hobby. She really enjoys driving it so far, but we haven't taken it far due to needing some basic work.

Anyway, here are the specs:

1994 Camaro Z28 M6
Low option car (cloth seats, hard top, manual windows)
Black w/gray interior
200k
Brand new clutch, slave & master
Firebird ABS wheels
Newer 98-02 power seats
Some kind of retrofitted GM stereo
30k mile MSD opti
Exhaust leak behind cat - pretty sure this is the source of a random SES
Otherwise stock as can be

I got the car for about the cost of the trans alone. It's a high mile car and feels tired and sluggish. There's a small hole near the cat and the floor needs to be patched on the passenger side. The car really needs a good tune up and checked over to ensure it's mechanically sound.

Ordered up a bunch of parts from RockAuto and Amazon. The last few items will arrive tomorrow, so can't wait to see how it'll run!

So far, we did the following:
Air filter (stock airbox)
Truck K&N HP series oil filter
Lucas oil stabilizer
Castrol GTX 10w30 dino oil


Next on the list:
TR55's
Wires
Rear pads
Wipers
Short throw shifter (scored one on ebay!)
Fuel filter
Serpentine belt


One issue that bothers me is that the car has a slight shimmy when you release the clutch. Some times it doesn't do it at all and it's all gears. I haven't had a chance to thoroughly inspect the car as I've been out on business all week and sick this weekend. I wonder if it's a trans mount or something. I will say this - it felt good to get back in a 4th gen. If we decide to keep the car, it will definitely come a long way from where it was when we bought it.
