I scored a pretty sweet deal on some used carbon fiber parts recently. Yesterday they were sanded down and a fresh coat of clear applied. Today they were installed.

On the way home from work today my daily driver rolled 150k. Now to start planning some refurbishing. Bone stock so far. Needs some cosmetics (150k following dumptrucks has contributed to many little nicks and scratches). Runs strong and still on original clutch.

Well, it rained Monday so my cars sat in the garage and I took the truck to the gym. This morning after the fog lifts, I'll have to decide if I want to take my Ruby, the 03 ZO6, or my 13 Grand Sport to the Gym. The weather is supposed to be about 70 in Northern California. Not too shabby for a winter day.

After last winter I'm not complaining. I'll take the Z out today, it's been a week or so since driving it.

I washed it and polished the wheels. No, my car is not a C6 ZO6, it is a C5 ZO6 with C6 ZO6 wheels:

Finished up a sub box to fit in the passenger side rear storage cubbie in preparation for having a double din system installed tomorrow. Considering it’s the first sub box I’ve ever made I think it came out pretty well.

Just installed mine today, pretty straight forward.
I added the check valve in line prior to the PCV.
Curious to see the amount of oil I also get.

Nothing... I did absolutely nothing to my Vettes today. It is 35^F and dropping here in N. Dallas. I am not complaining, mind you. I've driven them a LOT this fall and into December to this point. Today... garage day.

Everyone stay warm!

Nice, mine has been working great. I haven’t done a track day or autocross yet but after 150 miles I had a little more than a tablespoon. Glad it’s no longer going into my intake.

Didn't do anything except lift the cover and have a look at the back end. Yesterday I received my spoiler and hood seal. Now I have to find somebody to paint it before I can Install it.
