Hello everyone - I have two updates for this week.
First - I have had really bad peeling headlights for a few years now - especially on the passenger side. The drivers side also has a nice rock chip as well.
So I picked up a set of Moriomoto LED headlights from Vette Lights.
Here is the install for the new headlights"
Second - I was up underneath a friends C6 Z06 and discovered that I was missing a cooling baffle that the wide body Corvettes came with.
My wide body conversion was done several years ago - and the parts supplier that I ordered the kit from didn't include the baffle - so I never knew it was missing or that the piece even existed.
In the video below - I fix the aero/cooling by installing that baffle.
Hey guys - it has been far too long since I made an update!
We have a ton of changes/updates for the Corvette - so much so that I'm starting a new build series.
I'm going to call it Build V4.0 - and we are going to have bunch of videos in this new series.
To kick off the series - we picked up a Tow Hook from Phoenix Racing.
This Tow hook is removable - and can be removed when you are not racing.
I picked up this tow hook because one day I am going to need it - and I would rather be able to get the car onto a trailer without screwing up the front end or any of the body panels.
For more information on the install - check out the video below.
The second video in this V4.0 build series - is a manual fan controller.
I decided to pickup the Caspers Manual Fan Controller - so that I would be able to turn the fan on low/high when I am sitting in the staging lanes so that we can cool down the car.
When I ran my fastest time last year - my IAT's had dropped nearly 50* from the other runs - and that was just due to letting the car sit and cool down for a long while (about an hour or so).
So to help speed up this process - I picked up the Caspers Fan Controller.
Since the drivetrain was going to be out - I decided to tear down the torque tube - and install a Driveshaft Shop Carbon Fiber drive shaft.
I mostly wanted to inspect the factory drive shaft - and the bearings.
The bearings turned out to be - but I wanted to eliminate the weak rubber couplers - so we went with the Carbon Driveshaft that eliminated the rubber pieces.
