One more update for today!

I've had an adjustable suspension for a long time - besides adjusting ride height - I had never taken advantage of the adjustability of the system.

Following the manufactures settings for the coilovers - and the swaybars - I adjust the suspension setup in the video below:

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.



Thanks!

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.

In the third video of the Corvette upgrade series - we install a custom belly pan.

This is to help improve the aerodynamics under the car - as the C6 Corvette does not have any type of belly pan.

Using some 1/4 plastic from a local supplier - I cut out and install a custom belly pan.

For more details - check out the video below.

Thanks!

In the 4th episode of this Corvette upgrade series - I decided to upgrade the slave cylinder by adding a Tick Performance Slave Cylinder Brace.

Since I was going to have to replace the clutch soon anyways - this turned out to be the perfect time to add this slave cylinder brace.

For more details - please check out the video below.

As mentioned in the previous post - I was going to be installing a new clutch.

The car is making 650 rwhp with the E-Force supercharger - and E85.

The last time I took the car to the drag strip - I overpowered the LS7 clutch and the car basically fried the clutch in the first two gears.

The LS7 clutch - while strong and affordable - obviously has it limits.

So I decided to go with a Mcleod RXT Twin Disk - now these clutches are good for 1000 hp - and drive like stock.

In the video below - I go over the install details and get the new twin disk setup.

Since the transmission was going to be out for the clutch install - I decided to install the Anti-Venom mod on the T56.

The Anti-Venom mod it to help reduce the notchiness of an aftermarket shifter - like the MGW shifter that I installed last year.

For a cheap and easy upgrade - it only took a few minutes to install.

For more information - please check out the video below.

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.

For more information - please check out the video below:

Since I had to drop the drivetrain for the clutch install - as well as remove the full exhaust.

I decided to take the Kooks headers to a local shop - Calico coatings applied their ceramic coating to the headers.

Hopefully this will help reduce underhood temperatures - and also help lower IAT's as well.
