New shoes are on!

What if I write "DOT" on my slicks? does that count? lol

New Rotors installed and ready to go!

Safety first! New belly pan from Cody Phillips Racing!

It makes for a lot of LOLZ:

Thanks! yeah its a 17" wheel. I keep them on honestly because its what I put in storage and when im rolling around to car shows and other street affair.

The Rear radials? Those are M&H 315s. I like them, but my set is about 4 years old now, so not a whole lot of stick left in them. Swapping to the full drag slicks in the next week or so.

Pics as requested. Will get more when the weather is nice outside and I can get my good camera in action. These will have to suffice for now.

All done at the body shop. Time to move on and get her race ready! April 18th T&T at Norwalk is the goal for shakedown passes!

Look closer in my dyno videos. Two owners back, the guy backed into a short pole that put a large shallow dent in the quarter. The previous owner just polished the paint and let it go. He told me no one even noticed it was damaged unless he told them, which I said "yeah right" but truthfully most people never noticed it. With fixing some of the other things, I figured it was a great time to finally make the car right. There was some very minor surface rust from when the car was flooded by the gas door as well, so I had it all repaired at the same time. Now she is 100% rust free and ready to rock!

Trying on the new front runners while she was waiting on the paint booth: Final body work fixes and getting the last corner repaired. Should be done just in time for the weekend! Cant wait to see how it looks all buffed up! Tons of work left to complete before IFO which is 1 month from now in Cbus!

if you would rather do a swap yourself and end up in it for less $, contact me and maybe we can make a deal on my SC300. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/4903263014.html

Nope. I leave paint work/buffing to the professionals. I will wax it once its home though!

Put the bumper and hood back on the car and getting a final wax/buff on the paint. Looks 10x better than it did before. No more little dents, dings or paint chips on the front. I will get more photos soon.

pics or gtfo! :gabe:

I would as well on 4/26. Need to dial in my car. Not really interested in anything else.

such is the plight of the automatic vettes... I completely understand

my old man has an all stock tan C5 auto for sale. Its a targa. 112k miles and unmolested. 2 sets of wheels (stock and aftermarket 5 blades), 2 tops are negotiable (glass and painted) Asking 12k obo

I can appreciate that it has been a struggle. I guess I will need to find something before the 4/26 date to get my testing in. Thanks for the update, but I cant make it down on a Friday.

I have this for sale... was the GF's daily driver for a while. She ended up getting something FWD for the snow. This Sc300 has been parked since fall. Let me know if you are interested. Newer tires and its a solid daily with zero rust. http://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/4828385145.html

agreed. so someone go down and beat up the NTR guy and get her going!

Lol its a stainless tee. And hopefully she will see more action this year.

Negative. I use the front oil galley. Its where the stock oil pressure sensor goes. I have a Tee fitting out of the stock oil pressure sensor location with my turbo feed going out the top and my oil pressure sensor on the bottom of the Tee. Seems to work well. Plenty of pressure and it keeps the line away from being heat soaked. Previous owner had this routing, so when I bought the car, I picked up misc parts from him, and this was one of those parts.

If we are picking other places than trails, I'd rather take Norwalk or Quaker. Better prep and no bullshit hump in the middle of the racetrack to make you break traction. In my book: Norwalk Quaker Trails Thompson

Well I am selfishly going to lobby for the April 25th date. I would be able to make it an entire weekend at National trail and get some quality testing in prior to the IFO race, which would help tremendously.
