  • Ya know, if you're not using the old, stock sway bar... I know a guy who could use it on his C3 with a C5 front suspension

    • I thought as corvette guys , we could take stuff off but we had to store the old stuff forever then pass it on with the car when we sell it or pass the car on to the next owner !

      • Hello everyone - I have two updates for this week.

        First - I have had really bad peeling headlights for a few years now - especially on the passenger side. The drivers side also has a nice rock chip as well.

        So I picked up a set of Moriomoto LED headlights from Vette Lights.

        Here is the install for the new headlights"



        Second - I was up underneath a friends C6 Z06 and discovered that I was missing a cooling baffle that the wide body Corvettes came with.

        My wide body conversion was done several years ago - and the parts supplier that I ordered the kit from didn't include the baffle - so I never knew it was missing or that the piece even existed.

        In the video below - I fix the aero/cooling by installing that baffle.



        Thanks everyone for all of your support!

        • Hey guys - it has been far too long since I made an update!

          We have a ton of changes/updates for the Corvette - so much so that I'm starting a new build series.

          I'm going to call it Build V4.0 - and we are going to have bunch of videos in this new series.

          To kick off the series - we picked up a Tow Hook from Phoenix Racing.

          This Tow hook is removable - and can be removed when you are not racing.

          I picked up this tow hook because one day I am going to need it - and I would rather be able to get the car onto a trailer without screwing up the front end or any of the body panels.

          For more information on the install - check out the video below.



          Thanks!

          • The second video in this V4.0 build series - is a manual fan controller.

            I decided to pickup the Caspers Manual Fan Controller - so that I would be able to turn the fan on low/high when I am sitting in the staging lanes so that we can cool down the car.

            When I ran my fastest time last year - my IAT's had dropped nearly 50* from the other runs - and that was just due to letting the car sit and cool down for a long while (about an hour or so).

            So to help speed up this process - I picked up the Caspers Fan Controller.
