1. Pull all the wheels and clean the barrels.
2. Do the rear Z06 duct upgrade.......if I get the courage up to do the cut.
3. Install the catch can I've had on the shelf for over a year.
4. Re-do my nav install to do the fit a bit better on the HU.
5. Change out all of the fluids before she goes night night for the winter.

243 heads (mild port job), ls6 intake manifold, EPS cam, ls2 timing chain, ported ls6 oil pump, xs power headers and orx, 30 lb svo injectors, and a tune. I'm sure I'm forgetting something or some things but in the end this little pewter 2000 FRC should be a rocket!

Have fun in Europe! And think hard about the side skirts and front splitter... I only say that because your setup has long been a favorite of mine for a C5!

Very sharp as she is buuut if I'm sure if you pull the trigger it will be sweet maybe sweeter

Ill keep an eye out for any threads you might post next spring
