What's next??
Just bought an 03 Z06 about a month ago. Put the column lock bypass on it and now it's getting the valve springs, plugs and new wires put on.
The car only has 8000 miles on it. Should I be checking the harmonic balancer or is that ok for awhile?
Going to Carlisle and will be putting around a 1000 miles on it that week.The car mostly sat for 10 years, what else should I be checking or changing? Tires look ok but their original, can't afford new ones just yet.
Thanks
Tim

since your going to Carlisle(as am I..) you should get an aftermarket exhaust..If you buy it there they put it on for free..I did it 2 yrs ago..(Corsa pace car)...Cost me about $1200(on a credit card)..Check out which brand you like since they're all there doing the installation..

I would replace the tires, and if you don't know when all the fluids were changed last, change all of them. Just make sure there are no leaks anywhere on the car and have fun on your trip.
