The OneLapCamaro complete build thread

[James OLC]

In Canada we know how to drive in the snow...
and the R888's are fine all weather tires. But I will need more soon.

Just razzin' you, we've had snow here already this week.

We're about 45 minutes from the Canadian border. I put 4 studded snows on a Town Car after getting caught in a blizzard, driving super cautious, 25 miles mph I still ended 3 lanes over against traffic, even with good all weather tires.

Datalogging can be fun...

Is that 92 mph already???? So my fuel rail trick helped? HAHA

I'm excited to see the car next week

So what do you think of all your parts choices?

It's early - I will be the first to admit that I haven't been able to fully appreciate the potential of alot of the components at this point but I can say this:

1. The American Touring Specialties - Lee Engineering power steering box is one of the single most impressive upgrades that I have done. I would (and will) recommmend it to anyone and will certainly use one again on my nect build.

2. The Katech Street Attack LS7 is a beast.

3. The ATS Chicane front subframe is awesome. I have had a couple of dozen first gens and I never knew that the front subframe could perform this well.

4. The IQ3 dash is a bit complicated but has a ton of potential and the logging abiliiltes make it a great tool.

5. The Vintage Air heater works really well.

There are lots of other things but those are the standouts right off the top...

I don't know Rodger - I doubt it - I was trying to pay attention to a bunch of other things and it was snowing lightly at the time.

We're busting our humps to get the car ready; hopefully it lives up to it's potential. There are still some bugs to work out and some rough edges to smooth out be we have almost 80 hours before we leave...

Congrats! Wow snow, it was in the mid 90's here Today. Wish I could have made it to SEMA to see it. I know your not in the Optima Challenge but will it be there on the Saturday after SEMA? If so I will look for it there.
