    Steering rack installation

    I received the in-house rack and am working through the installation before I cut any holes. I’ve centered the rack travel, centered the rack on the chassis relative to the sides of the tub, and there’s some notable misalignment between the factory mounted column and the rack input shaft...

    CV-style shifter linkage?

    Talking to a car aficionado I work with and somehow the SL-C shifter cable setup came up, and I'd mentioned issues with heat damaging the cables. He said something to the effect of using a solid push-pull rod style linkage, except the one he was mentioned used CV-style (or similar) joints for...

    Throwout bearing PN# for graz/LS setup

    Search function is inop on the site for me, anyone else? I hate to ask something that’s probably in a search. Anyway, does the standard gallardo/audi v8/10 throwout bearing work for the RCR LS/graz setup? PN ends in 671M?

    Exhaust tone - Celeritech

    I've been digging around for exhaust components and still trying to sort out a way to get a more exotic sound out of a pushrod V8 without breaking the bank doing a full rebuild to shorten the stroke and some kind of -plane crank. Most folks prefer the V8 rumble, but I'm just really...

    Has anyone tried one of those electric boost power brake setups?

    Space being at a premium in the nose of the SLC thee have been some good solutions to adding a power brake setup, but I haven’t seen anyone use a kit like the below link yet. Any thoughts on these or are the cylinder sizes a problem for the SLC...

    6-point seatbelts for street

    I went looking for 6-point harnesses for street use that were DOT/FMVSS approved. I know Schroth made them, I had the link saved. They seem to have stopped producing the street-legal 6 point set. I can't find any manufacturer making an approved 5- or 6-point harness for street use. Shoulda...

    Graziano gear position and display

    For anyone using a dash system that can display gear position how did you go about getting that set up? For context, I'm looking at using the AIM PDM setup, and that will conveniently calculate a gear position based on vehicle speed and RPM, but what if I wanted a remote start that would be...

    Tire sizes

    Tire sizes - quick check after looking around the forum. I've got the 19 front and 20 rear setup, I see RCR recommends 285/30/19 for the fronts, but I've seen some mention using 285/35/19... a taller tire. Checking because it's time to buy them, and I'd hate to buy the wrong ones as there's a...

    Another headlight ?

    Picking up a used pair of the Aventador style Morimoto LED tail lights, and that got me to looking for headlights again. I know a few of you have gone with OEM branded setups other than the Hella set that comes with the kit. Has anyone looked at the later model Camaro sets and done any checking...

    Stock headlights diameter?

    Hella part #? 60/90mm? Couldn't find it in the build manual or on the forum.

    ECU choice for OBD2

    I’m shopping around for an ECU for an LS and I’m going to be emissions/OBD2 compliant. I can’t seem to figure out the whole controller thing. There’s the one that comes from GM specific to my crate motor, but it’s non-emissions compliant, and apparently they won’t sell their ECUs separately...

    Aerodynamics question

    I saw it mentioned elsewhere that the SL-C starts getting lift over the top at around 120mph and that the placement of the radiator duct pushing air over the top reduced that lift. I’m no supercomputer, but air is air and the flow over the camber of the cockpit seems like it’s going to produce...

    Anyone tried an electronic touch screen control panel like the PowerQuest?

    I saw a few here had custom programmed tablets for controls, but this is the first purpose built one of these I've found. Anyone installed it? https://www.altronicsinc.com/switch-panels/powerquest-1.html

    Any issues with registration on the site?

    Someone on another forum was asking if there were any issues with site registration. They haven’t received any confirmation emails and have used different email addresses to try to get a confirmation.

    I don’t know if anyone’s looking for these but they’re on sale $300/off at Costco. I picked mine up there last year. You do have to be a member to order. Sorry.

    Headers

    Anyone tried different header types in the SLC? I don't have the car yet, but from everyone's images it looks like there's no room for long tube or anything exotic like 8:1 or 180s, but how about 4-2-1 tri-y or other types? Thinking of trying to shift the exhaust note up a little, not easy to...

    Pressed the button!

    Literally. That’s all it takes to wire a deposit for an SL-C. In the interim, are there any suggestions for what to do in prep for the kit to arrive, like “must haves?” I’ve already got quick jacks for the chassis, but I know some have body bucks? I’m also curious if anyone has done an...

    Polyester resin, supplier, switch to low VOC?

    I'm 3D printing a Darth Vader helmet and assembling it out of multiple pieces. I bought a small bottle of polyester resin as part of a standard body patch kit, the fiberglass will be used to reinfoce the joints in the assembled piece. I also picked up a tub of microspheres to mix in for...
