The stiff steering due to the wheel has me thinking. Is the camaro diameter different?? smaller wheel would require more force to turn. I thought that was my issue with the aftermarket one I had initially..
I looked into doing this also since my steering still feels tight at low speeds, but reservoir placement is going to be a hurdle, my FPR is located where that kit puts the reservoir.

I installed the remote reservoir on the left side of the radiator support. For me, it was a cleaner fit than hanging it off the brake booster. I'll have to snap some pics later. Still need to fabricate a new feed line to the pump, temp one in place at the moment. The steel pulley is peace of mind, as well as access to the pump mounting bolts and knowing the pump will last for a while. Haven't changed out the steering wheel yet, so can't speak to that.

Check out the new toy!! Flew to Dallas yesterday and picked up with one owner V2 for a steal. Drove it back to NOLA in the same day too.
Has 130k on it and is bone stock and lived in a garage. I've been searching for one of these heavily since January and this one popped up in the exact spec I wanted and within driving distance!
Black Diamond, Graphite wheels, yellow brembos, pano roof, recaros.
Bought an intake for it at the Summit store in Arlington less than an hour into ownership lol
Extremely happy with my purchase, smiling the whole way home. Despite the hp I thought the weight would make the car feel slow but man it pulls.
Not going to go crazy modding this one. Probably do the cooling mods, reinforced brick, intake, pulley, cutouts, maybe headers, and tune.
This paint is WILD

Thanks fellas!
Believe me I’d love an opulent blue v2, but they’re so rare they’re basically impossible to find. Would have had to pay 15k over what I paid easily

Tell uncle ev I need that black box now
Stopped at the Racetrac off the Louisiana exit on the way home for gas on Saturday. Talked with a guy with a cleeean built black g8 that was chopping hard. Was on camaro wheels I think. Not sure if he goes to the meets by y'all but that car sounded nasty.

Oil change and diff fluid change on the V this weekend. Also changed the cabin filter
Also installed a Viofo a129 plus duo dash cam, Regretted not getting a rear facing cam or a camera with an app in my 4runner so I made sure to do that with this one.
Been back and forth with airaid the last two weeks. One of the panels does not have threaded inserts for the intake cover, and the other panels threaded inserts do not accept the provided screws, and to top it off one of those inserts fell out the bottom lol. I called airaid and they sent me a new side panel, but the new side panel does not have the threaded inserts either. Go figure. Called them again and theyre sending out two new panels and told me they'd be sure to QC them.
Also picked up some goodies. 2.45" Pulley set, and a solid isolator to fix that rattle.
Will be sending the intercooler brick to get welded by the end of the week.
Need to upgrade the cooling, buy some injectors, a catch can, and headers and then I'll be content.
