2nd Chance Camaro - Let the Project Begin

[syborg tt]

I learned a bunch building the Syborg truck that sometime more isn't better. While it seems really cool to have the biggest baddest stuff, if you goal is to build it to drive you are much better off building it with "Big 3" parts.

Why because if you need it like right now because you are broke down you can find it at an auto parts store. This is why I choose to go with Kore3 brakes on this project. His customer service is outstanding and his knowledge it overwhelming. I needed new brake lines and I called him and he had a set coming in and he was kind enough to put my name on it. Two weeks later they where at my shop.



Andrew Strikes again !

Yes, he has convinced me to go drive by wire. So I once again I contacted Keith at Custom Works Performance. Custom Works designed this bracket and it is the only one I found that mounts in multiple location which keeps the pedal very stable. I have seen a couple others and they tend to rock on the firewall which is not good.





You can find it here on Ebay

The kits comes with everything you need to mount the pedal and all you need to do is have it painted or powder coated.

I didn't have much time tonight but I decided to go out to the garage.

I decided to run the GPS sensor for the Holley dash since it is a simple project.







For now I just mounted the wires near the back of the dash.



Well, I know I should have went out to the garage as I ended up being out there way to long.



I started running wires from the ECU to the brake light switch (still not connected) and the ignition hot wires over to the fuse panel.



I also started running the Additional output wires to the P-Side kick panel



Made another hole in the car.



Labeled all of the wires with Heat Shrink wrap.



Started planning the DBW routing.





More Instruction that I need to sit down and read.



Pictures for reference.





Wires



Plugging it all in.



I recently started my bucket of shame



Let's not forget the vacuum line...ugh



Just in case you all were interested in the part #'s of the heat shrink tube I am using.



Calling it even thought I was only going to be out in the garage for a short period of time I stayed a little longer and got a bunch done.

If you only have a bucket you're doing great, mine would be a barrel of shame lol.

The pile of parts in the attic is getting smaller.



So I need to get this giant plug through the firewall and I have no desire to make a big hole in the firewall.





Yes, Once again I called Andrew to ask him how to take this plug apart.



Mike and I trying to figure out the best location for the two holes.















Big Drill, Big Hole and lot's of torque just because I needed a bigger bit.



Thank god I missed the harness



He is finally getting comfortable in the garage.



Side note we also work on 4Runners





The holes have been plugged.

Looking great ... note: Blair makes Holecutter kits that are way more precise than a big ol drill bit, we use them at the restoration shop and they save a ton of time, just saying!!!!
