  1. Just wanted to show off todays work. Wilwood 6 piston superlite kit with C6 wheels.

    Have to order new spacers for the front. The wheels did not clear the brakes. So I bought a universal 5/16" adapter and it cleared. Don't worry, car won't be getting any miles on it until the proper spacers are on. I'll be doing some research on the proper way to do it, so all advice welcome on properly spacing the wheels. The brakes need to be bled again. But there she is.

    Also started taking the trim off yesterday, but my 3M wheels showed up today. So next time you see the car and I can take some decent pictures, It won't have the side trim. Next step for the car is to have the paint corrected followed by lowering the car and having the right exhaust sag issue addressed.

  2. There is only one door, so i have switched the parking situation so I have room to open the door. And the other stall is 8" longer than the other. So I'll have a bit more room to park.



    After my rebates, trade in, and my work discount, I drove off for 26k. 12k below the origial window sticker.



    As far as mods go, I have a few things I know I will do.



    HID's (Low beams and fogs)


    Bed cover


    Probably tint the windows a bit darker



    Possibly add a K&N intake. I heard they make a decent difference, but I'll be looking into that.


  3. I'm pretty sure there is a thread like that. Again, not enough good pics lol. I'm pretty sure of what I want for suspension, I want it to handle like its on rails. Just need to do some more research before I make a few purchases. As long as the car has brakes/wheels and hopefully lowered by May, I'm happy.



    Edit: Sweet thank you sir.


  4. Buying the extended brake lines tomorrow. Also, still doing research on suspension components. I know I'll be getting adjustable LCA's and adjustable panhard bar. Not sure to go with a single or double panhard. Also bolt in subframe connectors. Hope to have an update soon.


  5. Well I just got back and boy was that an interesting trip. It's always something.

    So I get to the shop and the first thing I notice is that the wheels aren't OEM wheels like I was told. We had taken out the two 19" rear wheels. Here is how it went:

    Me: These aren't OEM wheels.
    Him: Yes they are.
    Me: No they aren't. The center caps don't have the corvette symbol on them and the wheels aren't stamped with a GM on the inside of the spoke.
    Him: Yes they are, you can compare them.
    Me: Those are OEM STYLE wheels. Not OEM wheels. I don't think I want these. I drove almost 2 hours to pick these because they were OEM wheels.
    Him: Well you can make me an offer.
    Me: I'll give you $300. Due to these being one OEM wheels I don't know if the maker of these got the bolt patter correct and I don't know the quality. (He tried a few time to get the price up, I told him no and I would pay more that $300)
    Him: Okay $300.

    We grab all 4 wheels and move to them to the car. I pay the man and head home. So I put them in the dining room and notice all four wheels are the exact same size. They are 11" wide for all 4 and each wheels measure 18.5" with the inner hoop. Very interesting. It's been a very interesting deal. I'm concerned with putting an 11" on the front. I could honestly care less if they are remake wheels, I'll just get OEM center caps.
