New guy from NM

Post by forkspear »

I bought a 2011 caprice a few weeks ago with timing chain rattle. Timing chain guide was broken. I replaced with new chain and ls2 damper, and melling high volume pump. Driver seat front mounts were broken. I removed the seat, took it apart and welded it back together. Car already had eibach springs and solo exhaust. I just picked up some headers on Sunday. Plan to install them when the weather clears up. I would like to make the dome lights work with the door and fix the horn. Trying to figure out what wheels I want to run. Camaro wheels with Camaro tires rub really bad. Car came with 17x8 and 17x10 jegs spike wheels. Front wheels are gross. 0 offset. There is a 17x8 -25 offset option but idk if that’s enough. I put the stock wheels back on for now
