Do you have any of the OE front accessory drive parts(since you replaced with ATS Sidewinder)?If so PM me with what you have and $.What color is the Camaro?Red or orange?
Thanks. All of the original accessory drive parts stayed with the original owner. The color is a custom mix. We sprayed some of the inner panels week before last:

We have decided to go a different way with the intake but you can call Kinsler for more information on the one in the pictures here. The traction control is coming together and I will be posting more on it when all of the pieces have fallen in place. The two key bits that make it possible are the ATS AFX front spindles that use C5 'vette hubs and maintain the wheel speed sensors as well as these killer axles that Mark Williams built for us that incorporate ABS reluctors from a late model Mustang:

Manual brakes from Tilton - we are using their 900-Series pedal assembly with CV billet remote reservoirs.



If you like the calipers, you'll love the rotors:

Thanks. That is the plan right now. If everything comes together we hope to hit one or two open highway races this summer but the planets have to align for that to work out. Hopefully we can at least make one to shake the car out.

One Lap is a fantastic event. Two of my friends did it a couple years ago. I really want to give it a go.

I'm sure it will be sweet with the fresh paint and those HRE Performance Comp20's but whats wrong with bringing back that centerline/rally-fat-skinny Barney purple look? LOL. Seriously, that is a work of art. Simply beautiful.

its hard to tell from that pic but trust me u do not want those studs touching those reluctor wheels. it will throw the sensors into a hissy fit of godlike proportions. ask me how i know nothing like loosing virtually all braking because the sensors are picking up a signal that the wheels are doing something diff then what the car is actually doing.

It doesn't look like it in the pictures but there is some (but not lots of) clearance between the reluctor wheel and the studs. Fortunately, all the reluctors will be doing is working with the traction control and has no influence on braking. Some creativity with the pickup mounting point is required but hopefully it will all work together as planned.

good deal. on the 4th gen it throws the car into low traction mode and it will only hold that for a few minutes before it kills abs operation completely and u get to fight it all the way to where u are going

Great work Jim, keep it up.
