Car raised to your measurements. Looks good, no rubbing. Rides so much smoother since having the front spring bolts put back in. Rode like crap before. Shocks feel good. Alignment done. I'm very happy.

Spending tomorrow with my 9 year old daughter cruising the island with the roof off.

Forgot to mention. Replaced one outer tie rod as it was bad and installed new front brake pads as the old ones were near the end. Corrected a few mistakes the PO made. Loose a arm bolt, no cotter pin installed and kinked caliper brake line.

My 01 is lowered using the OEM bolts and I sure hope it's worth more than what you paid! It has just under 50K miles on the odo.

Congrats and enjoy!

How much was the selling price?
Here's a sound clip after I installed the cam. Its way louder in person. You should hear the car at 175mph...
The second clip is from my new project.

My street racing days are over. Not worth risking people's safety, or my career.

Car is doing good. I've installed those weather strips and purchased the dash bezel for the HUD. Next month I have some time off and will install the HUD, replace the Steering Position Sensor, replace the headliner and the headlight gear. I'll probably wire in a relay so that they close properly.

Did you get another Corvette? I saw your signature on another site mentioning a 2006.

Yes. Remodeled kitchen, bought low mile, modded c6 6 speed manual. That would be cool to have a video of my new car racing my old car. There are no other peoples safety at risk in this area. But i understand. Maybe I'll see you around at an event. On the 21st I'm taking my son to the Bleizin FX car cruise night in pearl city
