I put DRL Switchbacks on my car last weekend,

OK, installed the V-Led 6k Switchbacks this morning, took 45 minutes for the pass side, mostly figuring stuff out, i.e. mounting etc, and 15-20 for the driver side, pass side is tight, driver side is wide open,,,I [B][U]did not[/U][/B] connect the dimmer

I removed the tire on each side for easy access, short story = [B][U]no hyperflash[/U][/B] AND I have Eagle Eye turn signals in the rear.


Since the V-Led box gets hot, I put this DEI insulation onto the sidewall and mounted the V-Led box onto it.

The Turkey Baster sucks! :-)

I actually saw cut .062" bell housing spacers, and added 2 and 3 stacked to the block and bought longer dowel pins to put into the back of the block and it still did not work for me like I wanted

Thanks guys, I'm hoping the paint stays on, it is sandwiched between Hi-Temp primer and Hi-Temp Clear Coat, if it does not, then I will have them powder coated .

I will say that the speed bleeders made the bleeding process totally a piece of cake

Yeah,, I do scratch my arms a lot,

I'm 56 and all of my energies are going to be about building a Pro Street car next

It's gonna be, something from late 50's to late 60's era, a 67 Belvedere, or a 67 Nova, or a 65 GTO, maybe a Hemi, definitely going to be a big block, tubbed, bagged, shortened axle,

Gonna be my last Hurrah with my son before he moves on in life

Done for 2014, however..... I will be helping a buddy install Ported Heads and custom grind cam in his 2007 Supercharged 645-rwhp / 575-rwtq White C6.

Never done heads and cam in a C6 so this will be a first for me. He is looking for more TQ so we will see what happens.

What THAT said, with this new found experience....I will be installing a Lingenfelter GT12 cam, valve springs, balancer, and probably other "stuff" in the spring.


And YES, I am leaving it stock, whatever that means. OK so I lied, whateVer.....

Ready for the Hot Rod Power Tour

I used a Hi temp 1200 degree Primer, then the Orange, then 500 degree ceramic clear coat, I am hoping for the best regarding the orange not being hi temp.

Mango Tango Toxic Orange before Ceramic Clear Coat

I'm leaving for the Hot Rod Power Tour Monday and have one last project

Friday I will begin to remove all 4 calipers and prime, paint and ceramic clear coat them, in addition to adding Speed Bleaders and Goodrich (sp? )SS Brake Lines.

Since my car is DSOM, I don't want to match the color exactly so I opted for Mango Tango Toxic Orange which is a Chrysler color.

Side by side the paint is more orange and the DSOM is more red on top of Hi-Temp Gray Primer, I also will consider painting the Corvette letters black before I clear coat. I want the letters to be sharp and not sloppy so if I cant do a great job, I will sand off the top of the letters and leave them aluminum/natural

DSOM left and Mango Tango Toxic Orange right

I forgot how much action there is over here

Zombies, you don't stand a chance

Also ordered the really cool and dead sexy Carbon Fiber Orange shift knob, seen in my avatar,

CentralCoaster can now bust my b@11z for the Bling now :-)

He hit a total of 90 targets in 5 stages/courses of fire in 58 seconds, you can do the math. :-o

I like to think of it as "reversible to stock" http://images.corvetteforum.com/images/smilies/willy_nilly.gif

Yeah maybe the next time I shampoo the carpet, I'll do a roll bar, makes perfect sense

Did you get the Hurst version? THe RSD that I got is the 2012 Z06 box with shortened stock shift stick. The stock unit for the 2005 is a little sloppy and I think I'm spoiled after having the TKO600

Idle hands are the devil's work shop, or something like that :-)

Oh yeah, headers and cats are installed last weekend, sounds great

OK, the new Kenwood 690HD head unit has back up camera capability but I did not install it originally thinking that I would not use it, but the big booty on the C6 makes it a useable upgrade mod

Soooooooooo I will be installing a Backup camera, and i figured, "while I'm in there" :-) :-)

I'll drop in the RSD short throw shifter, funny how this all works out.

No drone with these NXT mufflers before or after, I have the hi flow cats so I'm pleased tha tthe interior is still fairly quite

Same here, i just gave up on posting pics, I think this is a deterrent to the Guru participant growth, just , my /02

I tired shrinking the size, I tried photobucket, I tried a copied URL, all to no avail, it seems to be hit and miss, sometimes it shows up other times I get a warning like it is a attacking threat upload etc.

Not Acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource /modules/newbb/post.php could not be found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Make it easier to upload pics, I have given up 3-4 times.

OK, bolted on Peak Speed ported LS2 Intake and Ported Throttle body, fired it up, no codes.

Kooks 1-3/4 Headers are at Pro-Kote for 2000 degree black coating, Kooks 3" X-pipe with cats ships Monday, gonna get a mail tune to hold me over then I hope to hit the dyno before June 8th Hot Rod Power Tour start. The goal is 400 RWHP with the bolt ons

In the fall/winter, going to install the cam and a tune, goal is @ 450 rwhp, then

Quote:

Hilarious!

And it wasn't under the intake manifold, so I guess while its off, I'll slip and ported one on in its place.

I had similar problem on my 85, oil pressure went down to 8-9, I put a new pump on and checked everything out and out it back together and it was fine, weird cause the pump looked fine

I would look into a new oil pump but FIRST, put a mechanical guage on it

got mine 1:10 AM (12 hours ago)

It sucks for you guys out west, the Carlisle PA show, Effingham, Ill show, and museum are all a long distance away from you guys.

April 24, 25, 26 anybody going?

I'll be there with 3-4 buddies

I had been stashing some cash and it went quick,,, I hope to have enough for the cam install before fall.

ordered a Peak Speed Ported LS2 intake and ported TB today

ordered some Kooks today :-)

Yeah, that was part of the reason i sold the 85, my 406's kept up with all the new models until the LS engines got perfected and they were making big HP in limited Cubes.

If this engine ever comes out I'll do a LSX-454-CI

Quote:

Exactly! my 85 had 430 rwhp and it was plenty, the 460 rwtq was the real deal, in retrospect, I would take TQ over hp forever, but, big TQ breaks stuff too
