Corsa has been around for a little while now and make some great exhaust for late model muscle/sports cars. Very nice man!!

I like the sound of them - put the price absolutely turns me of - $1200 for 4' of pipe "axle back" is ridiculous. I'd buy a used system maybe - but I've already got a full z06 exhaust system on, its 3" and sounds better then the stock 2.5".

I may drop the exhaust this winter and do the "z06 exhaust mod" but we'll see...

Came home and saw FedEx dropped off a package....

Found this front wheel on egay - I had no idea it was Competition Grey, the pictures the guy had posted sucked... that saves me $$ from painting it! Score!!

Woot - only one more wheel to go, lol!

Well - been a long time since I've had an update so - heres a few updates:

Corvette - I have all of the body panels now, I still need 1 wheel and the plastic liner crap - I went to my body guy and got a quote for front bumper, 4 panels, and repainting both doors - and well - that project will be on hold for a while, lol!

G8 - really been looking into a brake upgrade - but that requires new wheels and tires - ugh.... Oh and I got door dinged pretty bad in the rear quarter panel on black Friday - pretty sweet eh! So I visited my body guy AGAIN... this time I'm giving him my business and getting the rear quarter fixed and the c-piller repainted since its all one piece - damn Zeta chassis, lol! Should be going in the week before Christmas.

Garage - picked up a tool box on Black Friday - set that up and have some of my tools properly put away now. I also picked up some a Corvette racing Jake flag - The ALMS team's marketing/promotional company had a blowout on last seasons items - that and I had a nice pro-touring poster to put up on the wall from DSE's open shop a few months back.

Everyone loves pics - so heres the garage again... LOL!

Cool garage.
Sorry about the door ding on the G8. People can be,..well,...d*****bags. Good luck on getting another wheel for the Vette.

Not much of an update - the G8 goes in for paint tomorrow - sucks blowing that cash during the holidays.

I FINALLY had time to mess around with my new camera - heres a Daytime test vid I did today, mounted it to the dash inside the G8.

You can really hear the exhaust at 1:30 and 4:30 - still sounds way muffled from how loud it really is. Can't wait till I get a 32 gig SD card for this - I'm just using a 1gig card I had laying around in an old camera - so I'm limited to time length due to file size right now. I asked for one from the gf for Christmas - guess I'll see if I get it. I really look forward to using this on some Autocrosses, the Power Tour, and at least the RTTH's next year....
