Default First time out !!

Hey guy's, just so glad I could'nt help but post it out here !!
Finnally got the vette out after the winter, I had just bought the car 2 weeks before storage and yesterday for the first time I got to reely enjoy it !

The winter projects were easely handelded thaks to you guys, followed the targa refresh thread and sanded the damn thing, just waiting on a good polish now but hopes are High !!

Installed a xs power 2.5 catback... Holy ...... That thing is incredible, installed it in about 1 hour on jack stands , everything fits to perfection and the sound is now incredible !! never thought a cat-back only mod would make the car scream like that !! The guy's where I bought it were super to, I live in Canada (Quebec) and was waiting for a severe import tax wich never happenned thanks to the guys at Huron speed, they shipped it in a way that my final import cost was 25$ !!!!!!

Finnally got a VR-B1 installed with a powerduct... everything worked fine... a bit of a hassle though because the instructions I had were for a 2001 and upo car but thanks to the pics I found on the site everything got back in its place !!!

Now everything is perfect !! almost finished the custom sub box in the rear cargo area and that will be it for this year.. starting to pile up for next winter season now

Well, have a nice sumer guy's

I just got mine back out yesterday, after a 3.5 month "hibernation", but since this is so early in the year, I truly think there'll be a little more snow before all is said and done. I'm not hoping for it, by any means, just being realistic...
