Default Jeff Does Good Work

Let me know what you are looking for and we'll see what we can come up with. In the area Jeff does several cars with our club. He has a great reputation. There are a few other places for older C4 and lower, Tiger @ Tiger Automotive.

Looking to buy a 96 CE and the TWPS ??? light is on. Also, the a/c control unit sometimes doesn't work properly.

Any get togethers,car shows, track events in the area ?

Wow!!! Those new Zs are crazy! We saw 2 @ a Vette show in Jacksonville this weekend but I am pretty sure they where stock. 520??? Wow now this is just headers, CAI and a tune??? Simply amazing. Maybe I should get one instead of trying to decide to have Jeff stoke my car and put a blower on it or just go out an have him build a C5R 427.... Damn I love the new lines too and I gues you have his and hers C6s now???

We hit GA on the 7th and we are excited. This will be my first 9-5 job in 18 years, with no deployments, night jumps, field time ect... Plus I realy liked the track @ Jackson and I hope to figure out the launch with slicks and skinnies now (and a new 390 last one made 4 passes then poof).

Take care brother and hope to see you again soon!
Dave

PS maybe Sara and I will trailer our car to the next dyno day in VA and see Steve and Julie again too

I heard a recomendation of Sir Walter Chevy in Raleigh. I'm in need of a good mechanic who can help diagnose what I think is the u-joints sqeaking. Any other recomendations of someone in Raleigh who would be nice enough to diagnose my problems.... so I can fix it myself instead of paying them to do it?
