Default A big thanks

I am posting to give a big thanks to Jeff (Jeffvette) for helping me install my Corsa cat- backs over the weekend as well as Steve at McGee's Auto Service in Portland for the use of the lift and tools to make it go smoothly. Jeff also fixed my lower job as well diagnose and fix a plugged drain for the AC. -which got my bosses feet all wet while he was sitting in the passenger seat!

I think we were lucky as the install took us about a total of 30 minutes to install the kit. We had to stop periodically so that Jeff could help Steve run a Dyno Day for the local Shelby Club (of only 3 people actually showed :mad )

Steve has a 67' Camaro with a LS-1 installed in it. I will post some pics of it soon. Any Portland guys and gals that need a very talented tuner/mechanic, Steve is your man. Email me if you want his info.

We got the corsa kit to align almost the first time we tightened he up. That was pretty cool.

I bought the system from John (laketullochvette) and he had the mufflers painted black. They look slick with my Vette which is black. I will post pics of this too. John is a good guy to deal with on the forum.

Once again thanks to all that helped me get my vette sounding and looking great.

NEXT? 383 baby!

Brennan

Brennan, it was great working on your car again, we just need to give it a little more power and also lean it out a little. I can't believe how rich you were running on stock programing. I'll also second the recomendation of Steve. Best mechanic and tuner in the PNW.

Here is Brennans car, view of it being lowered and also with the exhaust.



Here is Steve's car, it's a 68 and he did a lot of the custom fab for the engine swap, including building a set of headers that fit properly. Engine is from a 00' Vette, and is backed up by a T56 tranny from a Camaro.

I think my air dam is about 1.5" off the ground! I need to fix the suspension as well... it never ends!
