Spring 2013 Teaser

Spring 2013 Teaser:



Parts list:

- ACI front lip and side skirts
- Mantic ER2 clutch/flywheel
- New slave, speed bleeder, other necessary clutch parts
- Poly torque tube couplers
- FAST 92 intake manifold
- Ported LS2 throttle body
- Catch can
- Shift knob

The exterior will get a nice refresh with the new body parts and I have a couple other plans not mentioned.

Definitely looking forward to warmer weather!

 

Fun stuff!!!

 

No doubt! Just need this damn weather to break soon...

Well I wasn't really planning on this, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. I found a set of GM T1 sway bars with spherical endlinks for a ridiculous $200. I plan on PC'ing them to match the color of the red brake calipers. The front's a ridiculous 38mm (~1.5"), while the rear is a stout 27mm (~1"). These things are burly. Should help keep her pretty flat around the twisties...

 

I am a HUGE believer in sways. I just upgraded mine last night to STi sways on my WRX.

Can feel the benefits immediately.

Looking forward to progress pictures. (can you tell i have a MAJOR soft spot for vettes?)

 

Awesome JT! Looking like you will be having some fun once it is all installed

 

Very glad to hear you can feel the immediate benefits. Although mine might be a little overkill I'm hoping for the same effect.

I don't blame you haha. I'll be honest I'm not the biggest 'vette fan as the only gen I really cherish is the C5. I'm still growing to the C6s and the C7s are just not my style. I'm more into the import market as hard as that may be for some to believe. This was just my most attainable dream car when I bought it. I had a pretty heavily modded Speed 6 and sold it for this - better mpg (when I was on 93), insurance is the same and the cost to purchase was right in line 3 years ago too (now they're even cheaper).

Thanks Joelle! I can't wait to hit up Sonic this year

 

just for you...



BUMP!!!!!

 

and still no 86 love

 

LOL yus! I actually meant my build thread ( http://www.mngaragegeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/477-JT-s-C5-Z06 ) but this will work just fine haha.

86 wat?

Got the body pieces painted and installed this weekend. Overall I love the new look - although the fitment isn't perfect and seamless, it does look much more aggressive. Definitely gets much more attention too.

I also had all the lights smoked and painted the brake duct screens black to help compliment the scheme. I still have to paint the lower rear fascia black to complete the refresh.

Now I just have to powdercoat the swaybars and throw those on, install the intake manifold, tune and I should be pretty well set for the year.

What do you guys think? Crappy cell pics but you get the idea:
