Default I am back ~

Hi all,

I am back in the Z circle again.

I just purchased 2002 Eletron Blue metallic Z with 5200 miles, and

I am planning to install headers, exhaust, tune, etc just like my previous corvette.

I live in Torrance, where is the ideal place that I can modify my Z?

It's been a long time I played with C5, which is my favorite model.

Your opinion will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

I don't know where Torrance is, but if you're anywhere near Oxnard; I'd recommend A&A Corvette.

Thank you all !

Car is in transit from IL to CA right now. I should be getting the vehicle sometime next week.

I will post some picture then.

Do you know where I can get extended warranty from?

Thanks

Torrance, as in Torrance California?

Unless the smog laws are different there then they are here, headers may cause you an issue.

Congrats.
Make sure the valve springs are/were replaced. Sticky on the subject.
