I'm wondering how the Tilton pedals fit around the stock steering column? Did you use the stock column?

I just went back and read through the thread again and caught a few things I missed the first time around. I see the extra work that was done to give more crossmember clearance for the dry sump scavenge lines.

Are you running an internal oil pump but just the external scavenge?
Is the rear axle a full float housing?

I love this thirdgen! It really has me wanting to buy another one to build.My very first car in 1999 was a 90 Camaro. I had so many good memories with that car.

I did not see it mentioned and wanted to ask. Any reason you did not use a tubular k-member in the front? Are the tubular k-members not strong enough?
I also noticed you have seats in the rear. Any photos of how you modified them to fit with the 4link?
Is the wiring all custom or did you buy a kit? Would love to know more about how its wired up.

Thanks

They are plenty strong and may folks run them. DSE decided to use the stock one as there really isn't a reason to not use it. Many folks go tubular to cut weight, create more space to work around exhaust and it just looks cool. Sometimes they can be finicky to fit, which could be another reason. Not all tubular units are built the same though.

Also, DSE doesn't make a tubular k-member for our cars so I don't think they'd want to use a competitors in their car which is showcasing their parts.

Thanks. I remembered in the past when they first came out many thought they might not be strong enough.

From the build photos on the DSE website, the 4link doesn't intrude very far into the interior and the seats will go back in without any real modifications. The main reason many track cars don't have the back seat any more is the cage makes the rear seat unsafe to use and, depending on who did the cage, may interfere with the seats latching in place.

Understandable. I just noticed in videos this car still had the rear seats and to me it looked like the 4 link mounts would of required you to modify the seat backs.
