Just finihsed my first mod
I swapped out my FE1 sways with Z06 sways today and I would like to thank some people for their advice and help with my first mod. Everyone that responded to my Z06 Sway Install thread last week in the Tech section; your input was great! Mike Mercury for designing and posting drawings to his ramps; they worked like a champ and even though I still used jack stands as a back up the ramps never even groaned under the weight of the car. Last but not least Uncle John for all the advice he PM'd me and for volunteering his cell phone number for me to call if I ran into problems.....having that number in my back pocket during the swap gave me a nice sense of comfort knowing I could call him if the you know what hit the fan which it didn't the swap went very smooth. Now next week it I am installing CorvettePilot's powder coated calibers, Hawk pads and SP Diamond Slotted rotors. Yes I think I have been assimilated by the Mods

EG I am afraid you and Grond where ground zero for this outbreak. I am positive that it was reading your posts that lowered my immune system to this virus

I'd like to heap some blame on EG myself. Thanks to him I repaired my Dual A/C control (the solder fix) this morning. (Works great, thanks). But now I know how easy it is to dis-assemble my car, and I sort of feel like doing it some more.
Now I know how Stephen's car got in the condition it's in now....
