Welcome back, again!

How do you intend on using the car?

Street, autocross, track events?

A change of pads and some brake ducts may be all that you need.

Got to watch changes though if you're doing things like autocrossing.


I want to track it but realistically, I will probably spend most of my time autox because it is close and convenient. The closest track to me is Carolina Motorsports Park about 3 hours away. I hope to get down there for some driving days.

The previous owner Autox this car. He felt the need for slicks which I am replacing with Kumho xs in the next couple of days. Also you can notice they were Z-r1 wheels (the first pic shows the wrong offset) and I switched out the rears for the GS wheels to bring he tires in.

He "upgraded" the suspension and disconnected/removed the fx3 shock system. I'm not sure how he got around the warning light, but I'm assuming he pulled a fuse. It rides worse than my Hummer H1. It appears he replaced them with billstiens. He also put a larger sway bar on so even though it rides like a dump truck it handles pretty good as long as the road is nice and smooth.

It has an aftermarket shift knob but unfortunately no short throw kit...

Everything else seems to be in good shape. It needed a good cleaning oh and I forgot some new U-joints. Every day is progress.

I bought it for a fun ride to autox and to make into somewhat of a track car if I can find the time to get to some track days. I always wanted to track my C6 but I was in college and never got around to it.
