Back when I had my FRC I found the same thing had happened with my end links. I found a nice used set of T1 bars and links and called it a day. They come up (been a while since I've been on Corvette Forum) pretty regularly. The front T1 bar is massive though. I'm not sure what your clearance is like up front.

 

damn man, love the wastegate dumps

 

That's exactly what I want...I am just usually a day late and a dollar short on those sales unfortunately. Will keep on the lookout. I should be ok on clearance I think.



Thanks bro. Can't wait for that 2 step

 

Your have an amazing car! but how does one go about changing spark plugs?

 

Ha, not quite as amazing as your screen name lol.

Thanks.

Plug change? Passenger side from topside, driver side from below. Not bad but, a lift and some "feel"(cannot see so, kinda blindfolded) is needed to do the job.

 

DUUUUUUDDDDEEE that is looking so sweet. cannot wait to see it all come together.

 

Thanks Nick, I appreciate it man.

I am shooting for an event in january. I dunno how close I'll get since my cousin just broke a bone in his back so...I am solo on this build for a while.

WOO! lol.

 

Great work. Subbed for the end product. Hp/1320 goal?

 

Thanks dogg.

rwhp=1200rwhp(give or take)

1320=8.80's @160mph 6 speed manual.

That's the goal. If it'll happen, we'll see.


Update:

Just sent mostly everything out to the ceramic coating place... "fusion" ... here in Boca. Couple arms and a leg later, I should have that stuff back. This weekend, I am removing the entire driveline from the vehicle, for the bellhousing/dampener swap.... which is gonna suck but, no big deal with these driveline tables we have. Will upload pics here and there.

 

So... as mentioned, had to remove drivetrain for pilot bearing issue..and balancer concern. So...out she comes,...again.





This C6 SFI BELLHOUSING is for sale




Starting to run the HARD LINES....while everything is out of the car(part of the plan). The small stuff is easy...these are just preliminary routing exercises...




The big stuff...sucks to work with...at least with this big *** tool. I need a tighter radius for sure. Suggestions?




Z06 diff/ZR1 trans/ cooler lines Fragola/Diff/trans cooler makco


Starting to get most of the stuff back from ceramic coating..here are the dump tubes...




Looks sick...






...last, pulled out the injectors...the HOLLEY 120 low impedance injectors(8)..they have ONLY been used to idle...been sitting for a year so I dropped them off at Wilson Manifolds for inspection...they are in perfect shape, put new filters on them just cause. Brand new...$400 shipped

 

Can you drop the drivetrain with your eyes closed yet?

What injectors are you getting? ID2000?

Dump tubes are

 

I can without a doubt, pull this thing apart with no eyeballs. Hope I never have to lol but...I could...or any vette I think lol. This is the hardest vette I have ever worked on to date...Darrens is taking a very close second.

I am honestly gonna probably go with the HOLLEY 160lb injectors. They're low cost, I can afford them(now), and they seem to be doing well. Glad you dig the dumps,..I cannot wait for this to actually be functioning.

On a side note....Josh is about to get the motor back from tec,..it made 630FWhp with the billet wilson. So that will be up and running very soon.


This thing....will probably be ready for the half mile.

 

I miss the Blue Z06. Will be awesome to see that thing back on the street. Sounds like it will pick up right where it left off, 630 fwhp should be really close to 560ish at the wheels

Did I tell you my boy Robby picked up a sick LS coupe? 6.0, pistons/rods, TH400, and a T6 88. Sick ride. Going on the dyno Tuesday with Zach to see what 20 psi does, its retarded at 9 psi on the gate.

Car was built by a former NASA engineer, and you can tell. Super clean. Easy 8's and it drives anywhere.

 

Nice!

I'll be in town this weekend, if I am in your hood i'll hollar.

Looks like my jedi skills where working...Josh just posted this to facebook.

 

Dang, thats pretty.

Did the T/A motor ever get finished?
Is that thing running yet?

 

Actually there is a mild clearance issue we found that was not done by the machinist....who died(literally)...so Josh dropped it off at TEC....he really dug the setup...thinks it should be a 700+ flywheel setup no problem. He really dug the cylinder heads. TA...well, here is the list of projects.

1)We just finished the TT goat, no more oil pump(4 turbos)..all gravity...fixed mild oil leak from pan,..etc...rebuilt turbos...that is all back together...just needs a new wideband sensor....I just ordered.

2)The C4 is done, finally. Runs like a champ....but they sent new aluminum/carbon exhaust off for coating, so that will be back soon, and that car, will finally be done.

3)The blue vette, is the closest thing he has that needs to be done...in other words....I just sent out the steering rack I stole out of his car to be rebuilt...when that comes back..........we'll install his drivetrain back in the car...and test.

4)That would leave the TA to be the furthest thing ready. We need: 2 inch long tubes(we do have another set of smaller headers we may use just to try out....)...then it needs an sfi bell housing,..then it needs an intake manifold....and a fuel system really. It MIGHT be ok but..it needs more fuel,..or it will.

So the TA will get the back burner for now, as it has been but,..as soon as the blue car is working again....the TA will be back in the works. So, hopefully, beginning of next year the TA will be working.

Once that is done.....if josh isn't happy with big spray shot from his direct port,...we'll put on the other PTK kit we have on the blue Z06.

What I didn't put there is.........Darrens car, or my car. So,....FML.

I have a lot to do.


Plus....we bought a building in Georgia....the company...so....in a years time I would imagine.....we'll be up there. SO......that'll make it difficult for me to work there.....and go back to work on the cars. I'll have to figure our something....or buy a house with enough garage room to handle a couple cars in the evening hours.

So...basically.....i'm fucked for time.

 

I'm sure Yo Vinny will help you wrench :rofl:

 

Ha, no thanks. Thought about that yesterday lol.

Fortunately, ...the Georgia half mile is 1 hour away, Road Atlanta 15 minutes, Atlanta dragway about the same..and a circle track right around the corner.....give or take a couple minutes for any of them from the shop location. We'll see how it goes.

 

As we talked about earlier in the week you need a crew.

Dang you got a lot going on.

 

You're not kidding bro. I hate to sound like a crybaby but,..**** is overwhelming at times. If it wasn't for the distance, it wouldn't be such a big deal, I'd be done with everything in 2 weeks....but, the constant drive, and 1 day a week work days(on the cars) is not at all productive enough for me, and meeting time constraints. The silver C6 will be the last friend/customer car that I do in a long time, possibly ever. Just not enough time, among other reasons. Not until I have a house with a shop setup or the new work location having an area for me to build, which will likely happen, in Georgia.

Until then, I have a LOT of work to do.
