I left my home near Houston Texas to head to the Corvette nationals in Richmond Virginia last Wed. I stopped in Foley Alabama to visit a friend on the way. Headin' to Virginia took me thru parts of the country I'd never seen before and the drive was great. In Richmond I made the semi-finals and finished "in the money"!!! There were over 200 Vettes there and the racing was awesome! I also got the long distance award(won that by over 600 miles)

After the racing Sat. I decided I was too close to things i'd never seen to head home just yet. So I headed to the Atalntic coast and got a room overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. It was really incredible. Then I headed to Washington DC. The Capitol and Monuments are truly beyond words. No photos can show how truly breathtaking the view from the top of the Licoln Memorial back across the Washington Monument to the Capitol is. I also toured the Smithsonians Air and Space Museum, WWII, Korean, and Viet Nam War memorials. I headed home and arrived this evening. One week and 3.5k miles later. My nearly 24 year old Crossfire Injected Vette ran flawlessly at elevated speeds without a hitch. and averaged 25 mpg. I even ran triple digits for about 20 miles in Louisiana. I raced the car, hammered on it mercilessly for a day, and it never let me down, running consistant 14.4's@95mph! Not bad for a CFI car! I'm home now and it was a grand adventure. The car was great for road tripping and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Thanks! No links to the mag, I havn't even seen it yet, heard about it on CF, then got some e-mails. The Mighty Crossfire is famous! I'll pm the htmls

Here's some pics from the Houston Expo, I got a 1st place trophy for best mild custom! I just found out about an hour ago that my car has been seen in the latest issue of Grassroots Motorsports!




I liked the contrast between my hash mark and the GS's.

315's are a perfect fit!

Sorry guys! I kept getting an error message so I kept trying again

Here's some of mine-feel free to use 'em. I actually found pics of my car on another non-vette car site not too long ago. It may also appear in Grassroots Motorsports soon.

Best of luck-I know it's a lot of work. You guys have a good thing going here for all of us.

Looks good- and a nice Vette too!

I've had mine just over a year now-what an adventure as the car has transformed and a really busy year ahead, shows and racing both! Gonna get some respect back for the CrossFire crowd!

Hey Drvn2fst - did you take over the site?

Good lookin C5 avatar!

Looks like you're doin' well! :thumbleft: Are ya goin' to the Richmond event in Feb.? I'll be driving out from Houston. Pretty much drivin' ou, racin', and goin' back home! Oughta be cool though.

I ditched my Bode for an Alpine head unit, amp, Infinity speakers, and 2 10's in a bandpass. It sounds awesome!

Breathless Performance has these lights for the C4 and C5

Merry Christmas to all and happiest of holidays!!

You have- I've seen 'em too! Can't remember where though.

Here's some more:

I think I'm gonna replace my headlamps with the Breathless style of non-pop ups.




Nothing wrong with mine-I've already replace both headlight motors, so I'll probably sell both units to help pay for it. They'll just make my car that much more unique!

Welcome to the C4 world!

You've taken a lot of time to post in detail your knowledge. Jusy wanted to say thank you for the time and effort

Been absent of late -glad to hear all is well!

My 84 ran 15.2@88 stock. With the 1.6-1 rockers it's running 14.7@92mph.

Cool ride-Welcome!

It'll be ok!

My first bike was a CBR600f Hurricane. 1989 model. Pearl with silver and blue. Put 33k miles on it in 6months and traded on a GSX1100F Suzuki! That Honda was a great bike though. My first race was on a 600 Hutticane too!

Don't overlook ALL the details-very important. He's got 'em all here ! Nice job

That's 100kph or 62mph. Notice the high priced company the Vette keeps in the first 20. Only about 12 are under 7seconds and all are damn quick!

I think the car is over hyped and overpriced. But it looks cool and the commercial rings so very true. Glad they make it though. Competition breeds more speed!

I rode one not too long ago, decent power and exceptional handling for a cruiser.

Best of luck. I'm really sorry to hear that happened to you. Hang in there!

Kumhos are actually very good tires. I just put 17's on my 84 and went with 315's rear and 275's front. Love it! Handles great!

Congratulations on your new ride! :thumbright:

That really looks great!

Car looks awesome! The wheels really finish it off.

Crewzin:Lookin good. Black wheels rule! -Hey Crewzin, my wheels were originally black, do they count?

Quit braggin Case. I like my non-computer terrorized unit just fine! :thumbleft: Adjusting the TV cable really isn't that bad. Just about 4-5 minutes max.

If you use the TV cable to adjust shift points you will very likely burn up your transmission!

Pump gas-lotsa tire destroyin' torque-great style!

Thank you! I was kinda sweatin' the idea too-but it turned out even better than I hoped.

Hadn't thought of that-but it does kinda fit that concept!

Thanks man-I'm really gettin' a lot of attention from C5 and 6 owners. It's kinda cool! When I tell 'em it's an 84 they're shocked every time.

Still got the red car?

Cool! Thanks for the welcome.

I was kinda sweatin' the orange wheel concept but it came out even better than I hoped for. I almost changed my mind and didn't do it. Really glad I followed through!

SOLD!!!

Great pics! Thanks!

A friend of mine took 'em with his digicam-supposed to be fromatting 'em so they can be posted-he's really slow! Still waitin'.... He posted 2 at Corvette Valley but I can't copy 'em and move 'em . Somehtin' different I havn't figured out.

The Bugatti has been independantly tested to a true 253mph. I like it! a refined monster! I just can't get into the Vipers-just a matter of personal preferance.

I picked up the black AFS ZR1 wheels for the 84-87 model and had the black painted the same color orange as the stripe. The tires are 275/40 17 front and 315/35 17 rear. They fit fine and look awesome. If you're considering ZR1/GS wheels and are worrying about clearance, don't. They work great. Pics soon!
