glamcem's Track Build Riverside Blue 1LE (new car)
UPDATE: After a careful consideration I decided to go back to my beloved SS 1LE. I have been tracking with my highly modified 2017 Mazda Miata for the last couple of years. Then I noticed that I barely use the Miata, towing truck and the trailer (since I work from home most of the time) and so I wanted to go back to Camaro so that I can fit 4 people and drive to and back from tracks. I traded in the truck and will soon sell the Miata . Towing will not be an option for a couple years until I receive the Cybertruck that I ordered :)
I was torn between the ZLE and SS 1LE and finally I settled on SS as I wanted to keep the car in NA form and consumables in check and reach my target weight (below 3500lbs). Also that way, I can finish what started with the 1LE. I am planning some weight reduction, suspension mods, harness bar and race seat and possibly upgrade to ZL1 1LE suspension with all the supporting mods. I already ordered and received some parts for the new car and will list everything in my journal. I will update my mod list for the current car but will also keep the previous information as a reference.

How/what will you be using the Akron Headrest extendable mount for tablets (GoPro) for?

Awesome build so far, have been looking into/ acquired many of the same components for my virtually identical car. Just curious about the remote clutch bleeder as I am not familiar.... what exactly are the benifits, is it necessary to bleed clutch fluid that often?
Thx for any info, much appreciated. |

Worst case scenario, I will use the suction cup mount and attach the go PRO to another position. Since my car came with PDR, I will only use the Go PRo as a second angle to see how the way I drive for further analysis. https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/35...=w1718-h966-no |

If the car is gonna see some track days during the summer, it makes sense to change the clutch fluid to avoid any sort of contamination in the fluid. After a certain amount of time (when car sees high operating temps in track environment) all the fluids should be changed for just a piece of mind. I know some will say the turkey baster method should do same (it should for mostly street use I believe) but I would still like to able to completely change the fluid at least a year (before or after each season). Since it's very hard to reach the plug on top of the transmission, bleeder simply extends that with a line so that you can change easily from under the car. I hope that helps |
Yes, thanks.

Darker rear tails and third break light look awesome, might think about doing the same to the SS logo.
