Default Intro

Hello all! I've been getting great info from this forum for a few years. Thank you for that! I just signed up so here's my intro. I'm primarily interested and invested in the C4 platform. I have access to a well equiped shop with a lift and I do all my own maintenance, mods and tuning. I have a small collection of C4s that I use for recreation, utility and occasional HPDE events. That's the beauty of this platform; excellent engineering, versatility, economy and relative ease of maintenance and upgrades. All of my cars are 6 speed manuals with speed density tuning and they all have frame stiffening kits. Below is a list of my cars with mods. I look forward to being a contributing member of the forum.

Cheers!
Dave

Right! Here are some random pics from the collection.


Road trip with the 92.


Custom targa brace


Surprise! PO installed the wrong valve spring locators on the 383.


Time to straighten out the valvetrain


Degree wheel on the distributor and the crank and a dial indicator on the lifter to determine the cam specs. It's a single pattern LPE 219.

Thin wall tube frame that got skinned with aluminum sheet. Saved 50 lbs over the cowled hood it replaced. But it was a lot of work...ugh.


NRG wheel, tach and wideband.


Ice Vette.


Studs all the way around.


Frame brace.



She-Ra. Ready to kick some guys ***.



C6 Front brake upgrade.


Roadside tuning with TunerProRT. This is essentially a stock 90 Vette with a front brake upgrade, a modern wheel and tire package, a frame brace and a tune. It's a very impressive performer for what it is. And what it cost.
