Post by Turbopowered68 »

I got the car recently and have a few things to do to it.
Already in the middle of the DOD Delete.
Needs to be painted as its a Black and White car.
Need to replace that rubber floor
Driver side door panel needs help
Need to fix a few mounting holes on the roof and trunk.
It has an open differential that NEEDS to go.
want to pick up a set of wheels.
i'll start a build thread for you guys to see what i am up to and so that you gays help me out when i screw things up.
Thanks.

Maybe you want my 2.92 posi? I am looking for a 3.27 posi center section from a 10-15 Camaro and they are available but pricey. Let me know if 2.92 LSD is something you want to do.
So far, I'm enjoying my '13 9C3 more by the minute. :)

ALL caprices came with the limited slip diff , so either your clutches are worn , or the wrong fluid is in it , or both

Really???? -- While on the lift and in parking i rotated the driver side forward and the passenger side rotated backwards -- it felt like a regular open differential NO resistance whatsoever.

my guess is your clutches for the lsd are worn , the bad is GM doesnt sell just the clutches , atleast in the US , im not sure if they did in Australia or not
