69 Camaro for trackdays

[pjs65]

Hello
My names Pete and i have been looking at this forum for a few years and i can't remember if i ever introduced myself , so iam now . I have i 69 Camaro which has been in my hands for about 7 years , 3 of which were used to rebuild it . Its not a mega money thing which why i have not put it on here before but it does get used on trackdays and is a work in progress car . I have tried show and shines but found that boring and i have had i go at drag racing but its circuit stuff that floats my boat . The car has had not much spent on it because not much is my budget but i do try to do something every winter . The first thing i did was to replace all the bushings with poly ones apart from the uca's which are Delrin and to weld in subframe connectors . I then replaced the diff with an Eaton possi which iam well pleased with as it works great on the track . Last winter i changed the TH350(yes i used a 3 speed auto on trackdays, not great) with a TKO600 which has a .82 fifth gear . I brought it cheap unused and still in the box for the equivalent of $1600 and fitted it with an ACT lightweight flywheel . The TKO has had some bad press but i find it ok even though its not the quietest of boxes and reverse is a bit of a job to get without grinding it . This winter i plan to upgrade the brakes as the stock disc/drum setup is only average for 3 laps then non existent after that , i am also going for better tyres on larger rims . I forgot to add that i have done the Goldstrand mod and altered the geometry a bit and fitted rack and pinion steering . I can't stretch to 10k subframes or forged rims in fact i still have the 307 under the bonnet. So if you think that you cannot show your face at the track because your not running an LS lump , dont worry just get out there and give it a go. I am lucky as i live only 3 miles from a really cool circuit , and heres a picture of myself on it.Pete
