Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community. Thus, we will have get togethers, casual cruises, events, and such like that, but this is not an exclusive club and it's 100% free to join this site! So what are you waiting for? Register now!
If you have any problems with the registration process or your account login, please contact us!
For oil you can run Mobile 1 with a added quart of Lucas to be safe, or straight Amsoil or Royal Purple.

I think it is because I take it in and out all the time, the rubber has just stretched out, especially at the bottom where it is really thin. It annoys me more then anything.

Yeah it will be around. Not going anywhere till I fix these leaks. Was supposed to go get it aligned...... We'll see. Just checked and there are some drips under the car with small puddles under each turbo. So they are still dripping...... DOH!

Damn fine install but if you get tuned by Dr. Phil before me I'll snap and kill someone lol. I've been waiting for him to tune my car for a lil over 3 weeks now.
Well I think I got the drips resolved. Ended up tightening down all of the coolant line fittings. And even one of the allen key plugs on the turbo. It seemed to have a leak as well. And dang those turbo's get hot! Got a nice little burn on a finger when tightening one of these fittings. Let me just say, make sure everything is tight before these go on the car! It is soooo tight and difficult to get to most of these connections once on the car.
After lots of messing with these, started it up and let it run for a bit. Topped off more coolant and let more air burp out of the system. Dang this thing is loud with no exhaust!
Once I was finally satisfied I took care of the drips I continued on with the rest of the installation. First order of business was bolting my tunnel brace back on. Took that off to drop my old exhaust. Next was trimming my front fascia. That went very well and re-installed it on the car. Discovered the air filter on the RH side was not positioned well enough to clear that. Ended up re-clocking the filter to put it behind the foglight. Tip for Camaros installing this kit: Install air filters to be behind the foglight housing and they will clear the fascia and foglight.
Next were the Fender liners. Those also required some trimming to clear the charge pipes. I actually forgot to snap a picture of those. Sorry. And then on went the plastic underpanels to cover each BOV and ait filter. And last was the airdam. It is looking like a car again!! Woohoo!
By now I was in a zone. So I rechecked everything under the car. Still no drips. Woohoo! Bolted on the stock rear wheels and the new front wheels (need spacers to fit the new rears). And for the first time in almost 3 weeks the car was back on the ground supporting its own weight!!!! These new wheels look sweet on the car! I can't wait to have this done and driving. Bolted the Strut Tower Brace back onto the car and took it for my first drive! Unfortunately no video of that today. It was loud and ran funky. Had to keep it running anytime I came to a stop. Sounds like a freaking race car! And oh my god do those turbo's sound good when you can hear them. I tried to keep the rpm's down to stay out of boost but I still heard them!!!! Yeah baby!!!
Monday I get my alignment and my replacement rear wheel shows up (UPS had the wrong address on Friday so no wheel..... and they are not open on Saturday for me to pick it up....DOH!). Then it's off to PFE to get the exhaust plumbed. After that it gets the tune and I am finally back on the road!!!! I can't wait!
357ci LT1, cammed, stalled, and driven. 
It was done this morning.
