wing blade looks good rice, i just got mine a few months ago love the look of CF on white lol.

 

Started to install the Brembo brake upgrade and will finish tomorrow, then got to run and get tires that aren't completely bald for the IRL wheels I have since I'm doing a 5 lug swap too.

7424xp porter cable polisher speeds 4-5

hex logic orange cutting pad

meguiars m105 polish

didnt bother with finishing with fine polish and polishing pad but id recommend it

then some chemicalguys sealant

looks good for now.well see how long it lasts

 

 

Rice I'd think about having a body shop clear coat it, I'm assuming its still the gel coat that comes on most carbon.

 

i plan on respraying it when i can. i know that polishing and putting stuff on it isn't a permanent fix

 

I'm in the middle of a 5 lug swap and Brembo upgrade. Just finished the front now onto the back and then to bleed the brakes.

I put a pro clip cell phone caddy in it. I freakin loved my Cobalt pro clip cell phone caddy. Not loving the one for the new car so much at all. Maybe it will grow on me.

 

what this you speak of? O.o lol.

 

Moved the cell phone caddy to a better spot. Love it now.

so, proclip. They make cell phone caddies and stuff like that. You pick the mount for your car, then they have several caddy designs that you choose from to fir your phone. So, I had the base for a Cobalt, that clips on to the right of the radio, and the base was for my galaxy s3, a charger type that plugs into your lighter. Really nice setup. When I got the Vette I kept the caddy and got a clip on mount for it. I originally clipped it next to the HVAC, but moved it up next to the radio last night. Now I can use my cup holder again. Device Holders and Dashboard Vehicle Mounts - ProClip USA I had it in my Cobalt for a long time and really liked it.

Disabled CAGS last night. HPTuners is great stuff.

 

added more trash to the door cubbie, haahah

 

Swap complete with bleed brakes and working perfect. Love the stopping power combined with much better tires. 5 lug conversion really isn't too hard just cost more than most want to spend.

 

Took a few pics of the Balt as well as having the correct tires mounted.

key hole needs to be shaved

 

Took it for a cruise and realizing how great it will be with the new struts, shocks and yyz on the way.

 

replaced broken radiator with zzp's radiator. realized my hahn intercooler had cracks in the end tanks. so i bought a stocker off a guy. then one of the camps for the mount the charge piping to the intercooler broke, so i had to go get one of those. then installed a stock intercooler and filled my coolant back up. oh the radiator had fitment issues as well

 

Greased my squeaky blower motor bearings. She's all quiet now.

 

gave her a much needed bath!!

Didn't do anything this weekend. Wanted to vacuum and bath but been doing tattoos all weekend. Not even a drive. My OBX should be here Tuesday according to UPS

 

ran a personal best of 13.492 @ 108.31 at the drag strip today.


still not happy with the time, but hey it takes practice to make perfect..

 

First Autox with the new ride. Amazing how competitive you can be when you have excellent brakes.

 

That's not a bad time at all. It took a friend of mine about 3-4 different drag days with about 10-15 passes per time to hit 13.1 in his ss/tc. Street tires make it tricky lol

Any videos of runs at the drag strip?

 

no videos as far as I'm aware of yet.. but some may surface within the week

I've made 40+ runs in it so far this year and getting anything lower than a 2.2XX 60' is seemingly impossible.. still working on driver mod though, the goal is to see 12's on stock turbo at some point.

 

You're running a tire with a stiff sidewall. Doesn't much matter how you air them down, they are going to be hard to work with. Been heat cycled a lot too. probably pretty damned slick by now. Getting under 2.2 with them is going to be a difficult proposition.
