Hi all, I'm new to the forum here and wanted to introduce myself. I finally bought my 2000 C5 last year after saving up for several years and have been loving it, I daily it as well as track throughout the year. I also make some items for the car, namely, a cupholder that actually works. The cupholder situation was the first thing that I decided to change in my C5 after giving my interior a nice coffee paint job on a u-turn. I make mostly quality of life improvements, like the cupholder, as well as performance mods like some side fender ducts. I've also done a gob of track upgrades to the car, trying to keep it oem+ for dailying while still keeping the car solid on track. Feel free to message me any questions if you have any, I would love to talk about the car and learn from you all.
Thanks!
Erik
One of these days I'll get a low profile seat mount haha
Welcome to the forum! The car looks great! It's nice to see that you actually use it. There's a TON of fantastic information here. I'd love to see a full list of your mods. I've got a supercharged '04 vert. These are really great cars, but be careful, the modding rabbit hole is quite deep. Once you fall/jump in you might keep falling until you reach Wonderland. Once again, welcome to the asylum!
Don't forget to SAVE THE WAVE!
@MWWarlord Thank you appreciate it! Put maybe too much money into the car already but I sure love it:
1. Long Tube Headers
2. PB1117SS Balancer (pinned, one day this things gonna be supercharged)
3.Vararam intake
4. Tmod shifter box and solid bushings
5. Corbeau A4 Seats (made some extension handles for this, so much easier to adjust now)
6. Full C5z suspension with B8 shocks (thinking of going to coilovers soon)
7. Trackspec hood vent and radiator with built in oil cooler, thing works great on track
8. Just switched from a Borla S type exhaust to a c5z exhaust
9. C5z power steering cooler, pump was screaming without it and boiling over, been silent ever since.
10. Self made fender side vents, I thought the electronsport ones were too small to make much of a difference and crazy expensive
That's most of the stuff currently, I run hawk DTC70 pads on track and kumho 295s on a squared z06 wheel setup
What supercharger are you running? I'm thinking about ECS one day, their kit seems pretty inclusive with some really nice parts.
Thank you! Can't promise I was in front of that mustang for long unfortunately haha.
Yeah i've seen those, they seem to work alright but I didn't want to take up passenger legroom. Also I wanted to be able to put some big drinks in there which when I had the buddy it had a hard time fitting very large drinks. Glad its working for you though, as long as you have something!
