vinz68 camaro thread part 2
 

Vinnys car is getting more work. It should almost feel like a new car this coming season. with a dom cage, mini tubs, mid mount fuel cell, nitrous express, vintage air, it will be even more comfortable to drive. heres a few starting pics. Will have pics of newly widened forgelines soon, 18x12 in the back, with 335 toyo r888, and 255 r888 in front.

Vin has a nice ride. What happened to the Gear Vendors Unit?

gear vendors? never had one, i installed a hughes 4l80e and twist machine paddle shifter in the car last summer

Vinny drives the snot out of his car......I like that!

Jake..keep the pictures coming.....:yes:

yes he does and he loves it, it will be killer.

Cant wait to see more pics! :thumbsup:

I'm curious to see how the cage will be laid out. I'll defintly be watching this thread for progress.

Can you explain a, "Mid-Mount", Fuel Cell?

Thanks,

Ty

basically what you have in your camaro.

With nitrous and bigger shoes Vinny's gonna have a big ole grin from ear to ear on his face. Can't wait to see it finished. Jake, how much of the Air Ride rear suspesion needs to be modified or moved for the mini-tub?

Jake,
I thought it was mentioned at the beginning of the build last year...my bad

It was mentioned last year,but we never did it.

Hopefully the car should stick a little better with the mini tub and R888's. I still want slicks and skinnies so I hook at the drag strip. :D

I was watching your video on youtube last night. You need all the traction you can get! Impressive driving by the way.

Thanks!

Whose tubs are you using?

Awesome!


Shannon

We are installing Detroit speed mini tubs, the only way to go for a tub in a first gen.

Jake or Vin,
Is the 68 running the ride pro or level pro?

The car has a level pro.

are you running
 

the airbar rear suspension? Did you ever drive it with the leafs?

I drove the car with stock suspension when I bought the car. The air ride totally changed the the car.

=================
Interesting. Live and Learn!

Thanks,

Ty

some updates i should have posted a few weeks ago, cage is in, here are a few progress pics, its painted now but need to untape and get better pics, we also got his newly widened rear rims back from forgeline, also got the toyo r888 in.
waiting on nitrous, and fuel cell to finish up mid mount cell, this thing should go decent once we had some happy gas.

Bad A$$ guys! :thumbsup: I love the cage!


Paul

Vin, pleeease tell me you are going to run the riverhead autocross this year...

What are the wires and box for(in the back seat)? Is that part of the airride stuff?

lol, some of it is airride which is being cleaned up now, the bulk of it is a previous owner radio install which vinny is getting a full custom interior/radio install later this year to clean everything up.

I'll be there! I plan on attending a bunch of events this year:thumbsup:

Pumpkin pancakes at that ..pumpkin pancake place, and then tire abuse at riverhead. I am there.

Got some pics of the the cage painted.

Looks great Vin! Man I bet that was a pain to paint!!

Put some wheelie bars on it, ;) .

Looking Good!!! :woot:


Paul

Jake is doing a killer job on the fuel cell!
