The OneLapCamaro complete build thread

Love the form and functionality of this car, I'm looking forward to seeing more work on the quarter exhaust. Any surrounds on the quarter?

Thanks guys - we're trying.

well it took a little bit of thinking - and then rethinking after a bit of a misstep - but we were able to get the coils mounted today.

The bracket fits nicely below the rad:

and with the coils in place:







and from the inside they nicely out of the way:

Building the front splitter.

The first stages of fabication, we based it on a stock spoiler and increased the rake slightly:

Then we closed the sides in, trying to follow the curves of the lower fender as well as possible:

and finished it off with the spitter itself at the bottom. This is just roughed in at this point; before moving forward with the bodywork Chris and Shane tweaked the corners and the base for a tight, flat fit:











I like that we found a way to follow the original design and take it to the next level. We will probably wind up with a couple of bases - one for the street and one for the track. It's probably not for everybody and that's fine but it fits with the OneLap build and should have a positive effect on the track.

I like it. A lot even. Looks great. Thanks for giving me an idea for my own car.

Looking cool, I have to ask what is the cork gasket taped in the pics?

Curious with the spitter (lower portion) as you call it, is that design tested and tried some where? Just thinking on the aerodynamics of it all. Sort of thinking it might have a lifting effect with that flat plane under the car???? I 100% expect and looking forward to you schooling me on it! Love the shape and look.

I've been following the cc post on splitters and am comfortable with where we are now. It needs track testing to fine tune the extension (both front and back) and we may play with materials once we have a final track proven layout in hand.
