Hi Everybody, Am Ashutosh.
Well coming to the point directly, I planned of buying a new 2014 CAMARO from the dealer and for some reasons i couldn't get my hands on even with a down payment of $6000 which i had made from selling my 2007 R1(Turbo charged). So, i roamed around all the car dealers in South Texas for a couple of months to find a car. No, I had no luck. So, i decided to buy an used 2010 CAMARO 1LT. It had 85,000 miles on it when i first bought it. Interior was all cloth and had a sunroof and there were stains all over the interior, the doors are bad but the only reason i bought that car i that the engine is in good condition perfect you can say. Guess what to my wonder after reaching home from the local dealer i foudn that the windshield was broken and when i ask him about this he says "It was fine when it was with us, you must have broken it back way home" which is 1 mile away.

The car came with a decent catback exhaust and 22 inch wheeels with some raw tires and rest all is stock. So, that's when i decided to get my hands dirty every day. I open the hood removed every single part which covers the engine. Cleaned it made it look good. Plasti dipped a few parts under the hood but i really wanted to get it tuned and properly done. I am new to this country and i had no resources.

I have been using the car for 4 months and everything was going good. I had these installed:

1) 20 inch GM stock rims(22 inch are bad and makes the ride hard)
2) RS spoiler
3) plasti dipped few parts

now the car has 93000 miles on it.

I don't know if this is a good stage for the car but am in a dilema to sell the car and get a new one or keep it to myself. I have to move from texas to north. I planned to drive the car from the prresent place to boston which is like 31 hours.

can you please suggest me things that i have to take care of before istart...? like
1)should i clean the engine(valves,cylinders?)
2)should i replace any belts or chains?
3)Should i replace the exhaust?
4)should i install a catch can and CAI ASAP?

Please help me with this guys. I live in Kingsville TX. Am in a dilemma a big dilemma. Cause this road trip is very important for me. It will make me win the heart, it will help me understand myself, but at the ending i don't want to end up in a car which is having the prroblems it should have at 95000 miles.

This is the thread that i posted a trade in request. it has the pictures of my car
