Sycrafts " Hot Blown Six" Build Journal [COTW 5/6/13]
15 Attachment(s)
Well it was suggested to start a build journal of my 2012 Camaro LS. My Camaro affairs started in 1988 with and 5.7 IROC Z. Then moved to a 1992 Camaro witha 5.7 and six speed. My Camaro days were over for a few years until my kids were old enough. 1 in College and 1 in High School. We were at a local dealer one day and I looked at some Camaros and decided, what could I get for the least amount of upfront cash, so I settled on a base LS 6 spd car for 23k out the door, not too bad. My desire to mod this thing was there from the start, I can never leave anything alone anyway. So the tint and the RS/SS wheels were the first mods which changed the look. Now for the absession in no particular order:
Current Mods: Carbon Fiber Stripes and gill stripes Emblem Overlays ZL1 Grille with Emblem Pros LS emblem AAC LED side Markers FACTORY Foglights- and yes they work like OE, I know an engineer at GM and was able to secure a BCM flash Window Tint- 20% GM GFX front Splitter Leather OE steering wheel Leather door panel armrests Leather center console cover Hurst Shifter with Bronze bushings and OE Hurst Leather Shifter knob 4 Pack RS guage Pack Overhead garage door console Dimming mirror PDIM added Underhood LED lighting Hydrodipped taillight bezels Hydrodipped engine cover and fuse cover Powdercoated BREMBO brakes 1LE strut Tower Brace 1LE shocks and Struts 1LE upper rear shock Mounts LSR ZL specific sways and links- outboard mounted in the rear- LSR LSR Chassis Brace LSR Springs LSR Bump Steer tie rod ends LSR Billet Toe and Lower Control Arms Pedders rear knuckle bushings IPF Supercharger System- Redline Motorsports SOLO Cats SOLO Exhaust Nitto NT05 tires - fronts 275/40/20, rears 315/35/20 Ported Throttle Body Calibrated by Matt at FSP in Bradenton RAM Twin Disc Clutch IDeal G Master Cylinder Remote Clutch Resovoir by JDP Factory Reproductions 1LE style wheels ambient lighting, silver door panels and dash trim Emblempros rear emblem Carbon 3D Fender Vents MightyMouse Catch can and Breather CTSV Calipers/ ZL1 rotors ZL1 Rockers Blendmount with Escort Max Diode Dynamics Halos fogs Headlights Oracle LED Headlamp Bulbs Diode Dynamics Switchbacks Camaro was a feature in the January 2013 edition of GM High Tech Currently working on another feature for Camaro Now with a custom twin disc clutch, Ideal G master Cylinder and JDP remote clutch resovoir. Released NOW Redline Motorsports, Matt at FSP and LSR have done work on the car to get it to where it is currently. I also do much of the wrench turning. I am sure it is not in its its final form, as nothing is ever final... next up to include furthur drivetrain upgrades. Vehicle has also won many shows, 1st place in the 2nd annual Florida Camaro Rally, 1st in class at Pony Wars- Valdosta, and several local shows as well. Most recently was able to do a 2 day " Hooked on Driving " Event- what a blast... Camaro makes 414 HP to the rear wheels on Redlines Dyno And the best part is that I actually get to drive it like it was meant to be driven, on the racetrack, where I can find out if the modifications work, and I can attest, YES they DO !! I am sure I am missing something, will update as needed. Thanks to all the Camaro Clubs over the State of Florida and some in Georgia, I have made some great friends along the way, and if you see me, ask for a ride, it would my pleasure to take you for a spin...:thumb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3gDi8XlUoQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7Aj5Z2SDTw |
