    Ecklers Scratch & Dent sale

    Any one ever make one of these events at Ecklers? We'll be in Orlando next weekend while they are having the sale and are wondering if it's worth the hour cruise over to Titusville.

    700r4 Rebuild?

    Not directly corvette related, but could apply to others as well. My 700r4 in my 89 chevy truck is finally on it's last leg (200,000+ miles). Looking for any recommendations for a shop in the Clearwater/St Pete area. Wish I could drop the trans my self, but my truck would be the one to carry it...

    Sticky Rubber Rules!

    The kumhos finally came alive yesterday at the autocross. After prepping them with some traction compound for the third different way, I certainly found the receipt for grip. Finished 5th overall yesterday in a gear limited course (as in I always seemed to be just out of the power range for...

    DeFunking the LT1

    My 96 LT1 had started to accumelate a lot of oil residue. It wasn't dripping or loosing any oil, but it sure was caking up in a few places. So after my recent autocross on Sunday I slowly drove (running my DOT slicks monday morning) to AutoXTC to have John get to work on the ole girl. Was...

    Need a new Windshield? Don't go to SafeLite!

    Oh man what an ordeal. This started back in March. Before the March autocross on the 24th, I got a crack in the windshield. I wanted it fixed before the autocross so I pick up the phone and get safelite to come out. They'll be there on the 21st. They show up an hour past the FOUR HOUR window...

    While the wife and I were in Orlando, we met up with Mike to check out the carbon fiber top on his ride, plus just hang out with a fellow vetter. While we where at it, figured we snap off some cool shots of the girls together. :dancer01:

    C4 Tail light mod

    Got the sequential tail light kit a while back for my birthday. Finally got around to installing them this weekend. I think it's a cool effect. Hopefully a bit more of an attention grabber for those who don't pay attention. Hell what am I saying, people run into freakin' school buses, these...

Even finished ahead of a friend of mine in a 381, LT4 on Nitto NT01s by .333 seconds (in a different class). Just had the flow yesterday...plus it helped being a...

    Well, for the corvettes it was one tuff week. But I still had a blast. Shadow, it was a pleasure to meet you, wish I could have hung out longer. Got to meet a bunch of other corvette owners during the weekend and it always makes the experience a little sweeter. Well I've got my pics cleaned up...

    Washed her up then had to test out the new DSLR before Sebring. It's been over two years since my last camera broke. Oh Sebring is going to be a blast. Now if I could just find a Nomex suit to go in the pits. :dancer01: I also just transfered my truck license plate to my car...

    C4 Shortened A4 Shifter

    I had seen this mod a while back on the corvette forum and finally decided to take the plunge and go for it. Took all of about 45 minutes. It's more for looks than anything, but it also helps that it's a little more out of the way to get to the deck. I also find that it's more comfortable when...

    The C4 kicks #@$ and takes some names

    Oh yeah, if I ended up where I think I did, I'm pretty sure I had the second fastest time of the day...overall (some of the A-class guys wheren't there). I won my class by around .6 seconds. The car was really strong today. A big thanks has to go to John over at autoXTC for getting my Master...

    New Track Wheels

    Cleaned up and painted the wheels I got from RevXtreme. Much wider and fit great. Can't wait till my next autocross. Man these crapyears are loud...and I haven't gotten past 35mph yet. Don't know how anyone drives on these things. Can't wait to get a set of Nitto 555R II's for them. :dancer01...

    Pics from JAN F.A.S.T. autocross

    Still did pretty well although I didn't win my class for only the second time this season (5 races). Had a great battle with an 07 imprezza. I had him till he pulled off an amazing run on the last run of the day beating me by a mear 13 hundredths of a second. If I hadn't hit a cone the run...

She does need alot of work including; paint, transmission rebuilt (still drives ok only when mashing the go...

    Chin Sebring Event - Jan 3rd Pics

    Didn't get to drive, but got to ride along in the #111 C4. It's a nicely modified LT4. It was a blast. Just thought I'd share some pics from the event. Any one else from the forum go? There were quite a few vettes in attendance along with some nice exotics. :dancer01...

    New Cats and More...

    Last weekend I tried to install a new O2 sensor aft of the drivers side Cat. After a few minutes trying to loosen it to no avail I fire up the engine to let the pipes heat up and expand. After 10 minutes I crawl back under the car, the pipes are barely hot. I touch the cat and can hold my hand...
