Hey OG's

 

 

 

I remember when you mentioned the Corvette at a track day many years ago, congrats!

 

 

Sucks having to wait longer than expected!
I had to wait around 9 or 10 months to get my block and heads back

Just read through this whole thread, I found your youtube channel about 6 months ago and never knew you were on here. I went the TT route and always lurked around there. I have now gutted the Z and track it with NASA and have been trying to read as much as I can. I had to re think all my mods, your thread has been a huge inspiration to get faster and upgrade the Z! Awesome stuff man, your Z has evolved so much. Are you still running 18x10.5 +15? I have the akebono bbk and want to change my wheel setup to square and want to go as wide as possible. I know you said you dont like the high risk reward tracks but if you ever come down to VIR, CMP or Road ATL again pm me, Id love to check out the Z and race with you. Cant wait to see all the new mods you have for the Z, its gonna be sick. Happy New year!

 

Hey,
yes i still have 18x10.5 + 15 but i just ordered some 18x11 +18s.

Its not that I don't like those tracks, its just that being so far away and having to travel so far doesn't give much seat time to learn where and how to push. I'm still not comfortable pushing at Mosport locally and I've been there about 3 days total over the past 7 years. I'd definitely have to be there a few solid weekends before I was totally confident with it. That's not possible on far away tracks.

 

Makes total sense man, it is quite a distance to travel for you. Keep us up to date as your new parts go on.

 

Longer episode. Tore down the VQ and found some damage.

 

watched your video on youtube earlier. Thanks for keeping us updated! good luck with the new engine build, i hope it makes good power.

 

updates.

 

for those still following along.
I'm still waiting on the shop to get assembling. but it looks like all the parts are here.

 

Would be great to see you doing a sort of 'how to' with the front splitter!
I also want that front bumper by SA but living in the UK I'd expect it would arrive as dust

Totally understand what it's like waiting for stuff to get sorted when it's out of your control, I started my rebuild back in Oct 2019, and finally finished putting it back together in Spring 2021.
Longest part was waiting for the machinists to do their work too (very small company/huge amount of cars to churn through) but I assembled everything.
Best laid plans and all of that.

 

I entered my Corvette Z06 in place of the still unfinished 350Z into an event once, and I probably won't again. lol

 

I watched all of your videos last year. Good stuff! Glad to find you here. I have no experience with any vette but talked with a guy at the track last fall about one of the cars in the event, the lead instructor, and he said that gen is not very good on the track without tons of upgrades. I don't know though, I feel like the 350Z is the same. it's a very sloppy until you replace all of the mounts and bushings.

 

hey Tooth, any updates on your engine build? @2TH PWR

 

yes. lol
