Part 1: Aisin AR5 swap into an LS Thirdgen F-Body

An 11,000-mile Aisin AR5 transmission from a Chevy Colorado. A staple in the drifting world, let's see what it will do in a thirdgen F-Body behind an LS engine for autocrossing. Project Whack-A-Mole continues. I finally figured out the fuel pump issue. The old Delphi fuel pump, struggling to deliver fuel, was replaced with a new Deatschwerks fuel pump which seemed to cure things. So I took the Camaro out for a test hit. The car felt good driving it around some shifting through the four gears. Then I got on a more open road, mashed the throttle in second, shifted fast to third, but the car wouldn't accelerate under its own power in gear. Clutch pedal went dead, it would go through gears but they wouldn't engage. I suspected it wasn't an issue with the T10 transmission but back to the hydraulic throwout bearing, which had already failed once before. I called Karen (she answered the phone, "Where are you?"), she picked me up, we got the Lightning and trail

Slapping tanks in 40-degree weather, AKA recap of the first autocross of the year

Eleven runs in the season opener, and the car made it through unscathed. My first autocross of 2024 is in the books, and the car made it through 11 runs -- five in the morning session and six in the afternoon -- on Saturday without any issues. Sort of. When I got home and was taking the car off the trailer, I noticed power steering fluid leaking. After I had installed a fancy Turn One power steering pump. It turned out the O-ring for the hardline gave up for some reason. It made it through some street miles, all the runs on Saturday but for some reason didn't fail until getting home. I guess that's better than doing it at the event and getting some "DNS" notations in the results. Back in October, I returned to Virginia Motorsports Park with Tidewater Sports Car Club , the first club I had ever autocrossed with. On Saturday it was another homecoming -- again at VMP but this time with NASA Mid-Atlantic. A brief history: NASA Mid-Atlantic started in the late 1900s as N
