Finished the front brake duct install and got the front bumper installed this morning. Had to go to a going away part for a friend of the GF so couldnt get it done 100%
Measured and cut a slot out of the Z06 bumper screen for the front tow hook. Installed Stock brake duct. In OEM form it just blows air aimlessly into the wheel well. Trimmed to mate w/ the DRM extension allready in place. Slipped in place Secured w/ 2 set screws then covered w/ gorilla tape, then I covered the area around the DRM extension that I had to cut out to get the duct through. |

Took the car out for about 30 min tonight to get it good and hot and heat cycle the springs. Got the oil temp to 200, but it quickly dropped back in the 180s cruising so the oil cooler really works. One of my heim-joint endlinks (the RF) is really clanky, not sure if that means it's wearing out, but I knew they would click/clack some. I can grab the RF by hand and jiggle the center section back and forth and make it clank. The other 3 are movable, but much stiffer. Is this something I can address?
Problem I'm now facing is ride height... I have the car lowered to the max w/ the stock adjusters and it's still riding really high. Guess that's what happens when you take so much weight out of the car. Might have to dig into it and modify the spring adjusters to get it lower. Anyone run into this when gutting a C5? Didn't notice anything negative from the Pfadt poly motor mounts. Some have complained about excessive vibration. 4x4 status w/ my junk shake-down street wheel/tire setup Hood back on |

Nice!
I bet if you bought the hardbar height adj. you could shave down the delrin to the height you need and get it as low as it can go! My .02 cents Looks good, nice thread, Good luck! Mario |

Picked the car up from RaceWerks this evening. Results are as follows: Weight - 2840 (1/2 tank of gas), so about 250lbs lighter than a stock car w/ a 1/2 tank. Alignment results: LF - 2.54 RF - 2.27 LR - 0.93 RR - 1.67 Cross-weight 50.3% Going to get a different camber block to get the LR closer to 1.50 neg camber. Redid my swaybars tonight because I realized I installed them with the suspension unweighted. Katech manual belt tensioner installed...

Thanks to Racin' Jason for the phalic Hardbar shift knob... looks a bit "odd", but it's really nice to have to so close tot he steering wheel. It's my favorite in a track car. Also got the Traqmate installed.
Started stickering-up the car too |

Just got the call from Virginia Speed.... 361 rwhp on whatever their idea of a "very conservative road racing tune" is. Dropped her off this AM as it ws the only appointment they had open for the past 1.5 weeks before this weekend's event.
Good thing I didn't put that CAI on the car.... I can't make more than 370 rwhp baed on mhy calculations : 3118/370 = 8.43. Not bad for a darned near stock 2001 w/ almost 120k on her.
