Me too! I made a thread a while back about having a "members build section" and put mine up. Guess the mods didn't see it :/

So at this point the motor is pretty much done for a while until I got FAST, TB, AFR heads, and a quick shot, but extremely happy with where she sits now. Surprising a few people on the street is fun

My next step is replacing my whole steering rack and possibly shaft. Had 1.5 inch play in the steering wheel, rather just install brand-new parts and make it feel like day one. Then a good set of either Padt (AFE) or LG GT2 coil overs. In the market and trying to find CCW 505As.

PICTURES OF C5 COUPES WITH CCW 505As WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!

Default Quick Update

Was recently at a friends house ("Geared" on the forums) and I have to say, it is pure awesome hanging out with this guy. Garage full or Merica if you know what I mean.

Anyways wanted to give a slight update in regards to the motor build.
She's holding up beautifully!! 1-3 are nice and snappy and 3-5 just deliver the business. Its simply hysterical cruising in this car in 6th. I can punch it and it still MOVES!!

Loving it so far!!

Anyways heres a few cool pics I snapped of "Micaela", enjoy!!



I just this one just has a mean stance!!

Default Micaela gets some new shots

Cleaned her up, took her out to dinner, and then the magic happened.

Thank you sir! All the mods have been carefully planned out! This baby loves corners too!!

Man, it is a thrill! Not to mention a great swap for this car. I always felt like the C5 needed just a bit more to be amazing. The way its setup now, is just insane!

Next Vette will have boost though.
