I'd been waiting a long time for my new Wilwood brake setup to arrive from the states, and when it got here there was a box missing. After another long wait I got the replacement bits and was ready to put it all together. The rotors and the hib are seperate on Wilwood brakes, and the bolts need t...

Falling behind on the site again, and real life has got in the way of the cars a lot. The Camaro had been giving me a load of knock problems which I decided were not being helped by the 52mm throttle body. I pulled the stock one off the '55 which sorted the Camaro out, but left me with a headache...

I haven't updated the site in months, but I've still been working on the car. The Optispark distributor died (at the same time the one on the Camaro did as well, just to make matters worse). I had to take all the accessory drive off to get at it. With it all back together, and a small leak fixed,...

I've been tuning the Camaro for a few weeks now, and wasnt happy with the results. After a lot of research I realised I'd have to start again as the MAF was screwing up the logging. I knew I'd have to do the same on the '55 so decided to pull the MAF out and replace it with a tube instead. While...

I've been doing lots of little jobs on the car over the last month, and decided it was time to sit down and do an update. The trunk has it's seal fitted now, a couple of the doors have the old dirty door cards fitted temporarily and the heater control solenoid is fitted and functioning ready for...

I spent a couple of nights in the week working on the car, and got some bits and pieces that I could do without making too much noise done. I got the sway bar brackets clearanced and painted then re-fitted it all, got the procharger pipework back in and tightened up and the intercooler bolted up...

I finally managed to get my front anti roll bar (or sway bar depending on where your from) picked up (Cheers Mark!). I wasnt impressed with the amount of roll when I drove the car, so I'm hoping this will go a long way to sorting it out. I'd downloaded the instructions from the Danchuk site and w...

Zane made a connector tube (or fish as he christened it, as it ended up fish shaped!) so I set about fitting it. Its so tight that I had to remove the Procharger and fit it before putting it back on. Some of the bolts are almost impossible to get at so it took a few hours but it looks good done a...

Unfortunately after driving a bit more my brakes went back to being poor, so after triple checking all the pipework I decided to replace the master cylinder. After a bit of searching, I found one that was the right bore on ebay, and it was chrome as well so will look pretty. After bench bleeding...

I decided against leaving the brakes as they were and started looking at what I could do to improve them. After a bit of research I decided on either a dual 7" or a 9" to replace the existing booster. After a few emails I got hold of a dual 7" in the UK so I was set for the weekend to work on it....
