Loving the new wall Pete

Great effort mate.

I'd love to have a read of that Camaro thread if you don't mind sharing it.

Here it is Stu . http://www.rhoadescamaro.com/build/
It will be good if he manages to be competitive with the cars he says that he is up against . I haven't read it all the way through yet but his history of how he got into motorsport is good read , like the S2000 with the BGW . Pete

If you get the chance, try to find some details of Arthur Thurtle's Camaro

A seriously fast car with over 650 lb ft of torque when I last saw him and the car

Couldn't find any info on that Camaro but i did come across this video of it racing another Camaro and looks a right handful . Pete

Been looking at some new wheels for the Camaro and came across this picture of one with a set of Beemer rims , the stud pattern is within half a mm of the chevy pattern . I don't usually like bling rims on old cars but i think these black painted m parallel rims look rather good . Pete

looks neat

Looks really smart Pete, and Parallel M's can be had for sensible money with tyres

They would be a good match for the car too as the official ones are designed for the kerbweight of a 7 series

I have had a go at editing some of the gopro clips i have taken whilst out in the chevy , and its the first attempt at putting it on youtube . It should show a spin at Snetterton which is a bit tame but i decided to try it as its only a minute long and on the warm up lap. The spin was due to the rear brakes acting up , i ended up getting flagged off because of the smoke coming from them . Pete
