Re: PO has me PO'd

Re: PO has me PO'd
426hp is a big blast, traction control off, competitive mode on
you're welcome, that's what bought it. Keep buying drugs, that makes my stocks go up I agree, maybe a supercharger kit, after I break it in alittle

Re: PO has me PO'd
Here's what your Camaro would look like if it was machined from billet aluminum. Actually, it's the master gauge that all Camaros are based off of.

Re: PO has me PO'd
More or less. There are a few pieces that are removable like the rear fascia, doors etc. You can see a production deck lid bolted on the gauge to check for fit accuracy. Definitely a cool piece, and definitely the most expensive Camaro in the world.

Re: PO has me PO'd
can't imagine the size of the mill required to machine those parts, thanks for posting up, very interesting. Gotta say my door gaps are perfect, nice work

Re: PO has me PO'd
Wow! I've seen this thread for years and have avoided reading it even though I like to keep up with the local builds. It has so many posts I knew that once I started I would be sucked in and I was right. I read the entire thread over the last few nights and it was a great read. For a guy who doesn't seem to enjoy electrical work you sure accomplish a lot of it. I was hoping for the big payoff at the end. Maybe a pic of the Jimmy on a dirt road or parked next to your favorite fishing stream. I did not expect a Camaro. Lol. Great build, great documentation and looks like you made some great friends. Good luck in the future. Now I can just watch for the updates.

Glad you enjoyed it, well my GSX Eclipse blew its second clutch, had 220,000 miles on it and was having some rust issues, so after 17 years, I thought it was time to replace the old girl Quote:

Re: PO has me PO'd
OK, so I thought an update was due, kitchen cabinets are not due in till next week so it gave me some time in the shop. My biggest hurdle is wiring, so I thought I would get after it. Mounted up the MAP sensor, and plugged in the OEM vacuum line from the fuel regulator to plenum fitting. Then realized I didn't make the air temp. Sensor connection, ouch! Now the plenum has to come off again, since it is buried in the bowels of the intake, oh well. It is soooo much easier working on the engine without the wheel well installed, you can stand on the ground and work, I may even take off the drivers side when it comes time to work there
