Crank is pretty chewed up on the rear side of the number 3 thrust bearing. I see why it had .040 endplay now.

I finally started my TA today. Today was the first day that I've had any time to work on it for about the last month or so. I need a few little pieces that I can't seem to find. I need a dip stick tube and an air box base. If I can get lucky enough to finish up work early a few days this week I might make it to the track Friday night. That will be a stretch though

I have both of those items Chris. I thought you were running a ProCharger?

crank looks fucked, didnt quite catch it in time. I could prolly run this crank but it wouldn't last long and it would eat through new bearings quick.

You remember seeing it at the track? We thought it was a Z bc of the hood.

thanks guy it took me a while to get where i wanted it but i almost got it just a few little things left. next is to lower it just a bit with the new coilovers i just got and get new rotors and powder coat the calipers one day then it should be done.

steve everybody seems to think that because of the hood and the Z51 fender badges and especially since i got the Z wheels now. I wish i could have afforded a C6 Z originally but thats a little out of my price range.

I would never look down on anyone who had a non-Zo6 C6. I saw the show going inside the vette plant showing the C6s being built. Its very impressive. I would be proud to own one. Especially a modded one
