Spring projects for the vette [PICS]
Well its time to reveal this years "before spring projects". I envy the guys with their engine build threads, but for this year this will have to do for me...
This year the major projects are:
Suspension upgrade (coil overs)
Hotcam (fix oil leak at opti)
Lightweight Flywheel
Ignition wires
Exhaust
Weaterstrip
Paint (refinish front)
Interior (refresh)
Tune
The parts list is as follows
I feel like christmas
Fidanza FW, bought at Ultrarev
Hot cam and gaskets, bought at Pace performance (good price!)
Coil overs
Some Misc....
Weaterstrip kit. Bought on ebay for 250$, will report back on quality and fitment (seem good!)
Refinished the stock Air vents. HOT water, Time, grid 300, grind 800, and flat black... voila...
CF and alcantara interior bits
For the actual work progress I will try and post pics along the way...Starting next week
