Late to the party it seems

Greets all,

My Name is Matt or some of you probably know me as Picklz, I know Joelle, Erik, Jon, and quite a few others here it would seem from another car forum. Heard things were going well over here and the meets were fun, friendly, and pretty drama free so thought I'd head over this way and see what's up.

Hopefully can join you guys this summer for some C&C and Sonic meets and whatever else goes down. I live in the north metro but work in Eagan - have had way too many cars over the years lol. Couple GTO's, Couple GTP's, Mz6, MS3 and am Currently rocking a White MS6 for daily use and a yellow 2002 z06 for getting in trouble with - JohnnyT is a bad influence lol.

Great looking site by the way, not surprising from Jojo though

 

Welcome, post up some pics of the cars

 

Picklz! Nice to see you and thank you for the compliment I love my designing fun (hence why I do it for a living)

I agree with needing pics and/or a Build thread to see what you have done to your cars Cause I know you have done stuffs get on it!

 

Apparently after I bought tail lights for the MS6 I stopped taking pictures because I can't find ANY after I put wheels on it (That actually show the wheels), anyway here's the one pic I can find of the MS6 that's half way decent. Have some Konig Milligrams on it now, Corksport Exhaust, Cobb intake, some gauges, etc. nothing amazing but makes for an awesome daily driver.



As far as the vette goes - its a 2002, bought it last summer. The original owner was the owner of vette essentials (before he passed) so it has a custom interior by them. Had a few little things here and there that needed to be taken care of on it but overall was in great shape. Has around 53k on the clock. Had Carl from LancerService do a full tune on it once I got it home and switched it over to cormfed - Full mod list is below, going to toss it on the dyno come spring, hoping for low 400's at the wheels.

Sure there's some other random stuff I'm missing in there. Eventual plans are to make it a HPDE/TimeTrials machine, though this coming summer I'm not sure how much track time I'll see.

 

Oh damn, that thing's got a mod list to rival mine... It's gotta rip pretty good on corn.

 

Welcome aboard. I'm thinking you should upgrade the vette wheels soon =P

 

lol thanks.

I was thinking I was going to replace them before I saw the car in person but when I saw em I actually didn't mind them and they've kind of grown on me now. I'd love a set of CCW 505a's or a few other options but the money it would cost just doesn't make sense right now, would rather pickup some track wheels/tires or a coil-over setup.

 

They look pretty good from dead side on, but 3/4 angle, I'm not really sure, can;t put my finger on it. Something just isnt right lol

 

Crap you have done a TON to that car. And of course glad to see the Mazda in the garage again

How do you like your Borla? this is a exhaust company I debated for my car. I'd love to hear it sometime.

 

Hello again

 

im pretty sure a borla on a C5Z is gonna be a bit different than that of a MS3 lol

 

LOL yeah I suspect the ms3 and z06 probably sound a bit different running a Borla exhaust .

I've never heard Borla on a MS3/6 but I like the sound a lot of the z06, it's loud, like 3000rpm's I feel like I'm close to redline loud lol but I like it. Drone is minimal and only found in a small RPM range, hopefully a partition will take care of any lingering amount of that.

I probably would buy the GHL if I were doing it, but it came w/ that exhaust on it and I don't see much reason to change it at this point. As for the MS6 I love the corksport exhaust, loud enough to let people know I'm there but not annoying inside, well at least a lot quieter than the vette haha.

 

Party? I like to party

 

Yes yes, I know they will sound different on different cars

I just wanted to see if you like it, the sound, the quality, the looks etc Look was a big part on why I chose the Exhaust I did (typical girl) BUT the canister being so visible at the back end of my car would have drove me nuts and you don't get that on the Magnaflow

 

Both my canisters will be visible lol
