So just had an amazing shop here in Sacramento rebuild all the suspension, brakes, bearings, seals and powder coat both differentials. They added air lockers to the front and rear with clever little dash switches for both. They added a 2nd larger compressor separate from the air locker system for tires and other needs. All …

So with the roof rack now on, it looks more complete, but there are always small improvements we want to make. We will continue to document these things. A/C is all in and working well…. even though the pictures do not reflect this.
So, this was not easy to figure out all the hardware they sent us, but we eventually figured everything out. Odd that ARB does not have a install video online anywhere. I think it looks really nice! Now we have room for the spare tire on trips, and suitcases. Nice and quiet too. We made …

So, we received a power steering pump off a Chevy pick up truck with the motor from the junk year, as the 2015 Camero this engine came out of did not have a physical fluid power steering pump. The pump whined all the time, especially when turning. We tried everything. Different size hoses, pressure reducers …
Interior is sooo important. It’s where the owner / driver sits, and make up a good part of his driving experience. Again, like graphics, this needed to look spicy, but like factory.

So lights too had to be just right. We went with some cool looking LED headlights, and then all new factory lenses on every single light all the way around. Head light rims/bezels and grills were Linex coated for long lasting protection. And they look great!
So this engine has been in and out a few times fitting the Marks Adapter kit from Australia. It came with motor mounts, shaft adapters, bell housing, and much more. Had to get a Ron Davis custom radiator, but they had one just for this engine swap. The Fast LSX High Rise Intake fit under …

Side mirrors are also a big pain. The stock ones are just old and ugly. So I went to a Toyota Previa Van large, electric, swing away mirror. These are large, and modern looking, and fit the body style just right. It’s not easy to figure out all the wires and hook them up….. but …

So this was less important to me, as the older I get, the less I want loud music. But, could not cheap out, and had to have a good system, with Navigation and plumbed in phone system. A big thing for me was to mount the new fancy speakers in spots through out the vehicle, …
