My 93 Z07. It is stock. But I guess the mods it has are: LTCC, RD Crossbar, Samco sport hoses, muffler eliminators, HID/LED, and I have 3 Fikse Fm5's for it, still looking for the other front FM5 wheel.






Best C4 has to go to 5abivt

Thanks for the kind words, it's been a challenge for sure, i'm pretty proud of how it's turning out.

Huge difference with the c5 brakes, i also have a bias spring to help with the rear brakes.

I actually did the mod because my original brakes sucked so badly, a few close calls on the freeway and i started wheel shopping.
Once i had the wheels i ordered the rest of the stuff, and built the brake adapters my self for about $20 including drill bits.

Intake fits perfectly, only thing i noticed was my tv cable seemed a little shorter than it was before.

And it's a night and day difference with how the car drives now, i really love that i have to hold my self back with the go pedal or risk burning rubber, the car has gone sidewards a few times already!

Sounds like it belongs.

How hard was it to fit the double din stereo?
my bose needs some serious love if i'm going to keep it...

Also interested in the android controller!

I keep a windows tablet in my car right now due to the ebl flash ecm, i would love to incorporate a computer into the car to just run everything and permanently install it.
​​​​​​​However I'm not sure how the touch screen would fair in direct sunlight long term...

Double din wasn't that bad. Just some mild trimming and it fit fine. I still need get the new center panel that's designed for the double din for a "perfect" fit around the face.

The android io board was about $30 best I remember. It allows you to control pretty much anything. I have relays controlled by it and analog inputs to read the sensors on the motor. I didn't get the new display finished to replace the warning lights section in the center of the dash before the weather got bad and I covered the car up for its rest till spring weather. So that will be one of my first projects when the weather warms up.

The display I went with has uv protection and anti glare coating so it should do ok in a car environment. Time will tell on that part.
