Ok maybe i came off like a twit or something, but dang did my first thread put the worst taste in my mouth here...so lets try it again...bc in the end im a VETTE freak like u all....

Name is Shindo, from austin tx. Im a 3d animator for a living and Pro-fighter for MMA/PRIDE during the evenings and weekends.

30 yrs old so i got some exp on me with cars, and fast vehicles...ESP BIKES, i have a 200 HP 2008 hayabusa, and have had about 5 other insane Hayabusa's.

My cars before i saw the "LIGHT" and got the SUPERCAR (my Z06) were these:

here was my first supra ~ 490 RWHP and 440RWTQ

then graduated to this 820RWHP monster...this car went through many HP stages..it ended at 820 ish.


My Srt10 Coupe...this car was a POS by the way guys...

My M3 which was a joy to own, and was what i traded to get the Z06!!!

My 2003 911 Turbo. Got rid of this bc for all $ it cost to upkeep and to own, it really was BORING...ZZZZZZZ...just not me...


My GTS ACR: was pretty fun to own, but just not the right touch for...had the flare but just felt like it was put together with Duct tape.
Lost the pics of that and my m5/ m6 due to my laptop hard drive taking a dump...lost a lot of pics...have learned to back up since then.

My bikes:
this is the new 2008 Hayabusa!! OMG the best bike i have ever been on.

here are the rest.




NOW this is what i have! along with my bikes, and Toyota Camry as daily driver. i have gotten rid of everything else to invest in some real estate.


the reason i posted this was to show im not a kid that got a Vette. I know nice cars and i know how to drive very well..

I auto crossed my M3, and Drag raced my supra's. I do the same with all my bikes..( i track the 1000cc bikes and take the busa's to the dragstrip.)

i put 300 miles on the Z06 this weekend..our weather here is amazing.
THIS CAR is everything it claims and more..

I took her out on a LONG twisty road that's famous here, calle d LIMECREEK rd in austin...Blasted her a little bit on our empty toll roads..
I am so IMPRESSED it isnt funny..

My Z06 will NOT be dragged or Auto Crossed. This car is purely for me to look at, cruise around in, the occasional WOT race against another cool car...Just basically sit back and enjoy...But i DO want to make this a long term project. IN the end i would like 600 HP flywheel or so, killer sound system, and thats about it. ( 525-550 to the ground basically.) NO Nitrous.

i have the mod bug no matter what it is...there are some Look nice things i want to do : HRE wheels, z06 matts, Z06 door sill panels, Tint, Clear bra, 1.5 inch drop or so via Bilstein but i have not researched this..the stock suspension is PERFECT for what i want out of this car and so i dont want to mess with it..

As far as power..im researching as we speak. I have never modded an american car before...and when i did my imports, i just cut the check, and show up and enjoy. I am to busy to be pro-active...

With this car, i want to change that.

SO this is why i will ask DUMB questions, but i think i will soon have a nice, very fast, well modded, Z06 that u will all be proud to say is on this forum.

NOW...where the hell do i order the Baffle switch mod? I believe u are all calling it Mild to wild switch...it replaces the fuse and fits in that "no use" panel in center console correct? sorry for the long post, and good to meet u all!

Hey,

Welcome to the Corvette Forum. Looks like you have some very nice hardware already but you've landed on the amazing C6Z for fun. I'm a supporting vendor and I can help you find the result you're trying to achieve. I understand the modding bug since I have it bad too.

Anyway have fun with your new toy.

'06 Quicksilver Z06

Welcome aboard. Nice rides.

The mild to wild switch can be ordered from

Welcome again :cheers

You got some good taste in toys. That Busa is a good looking bike, got pics or videos. You should have a chat with CF member Ayoussef sometime (you will met him )...

Once again Welcome and enjoy yourself here. Most everyone is cool and willing to help.

Welcome!

I'm not sure about the whole first post thing -- but I can tell you - you fit right in!

My forum friend had started with Supras, then a C5 Z06, then a C6 Z06, then a Viper, then a HP bike, than another C6 Z06.

So, you fit the pattern!

I will have him reply or PM you for a more proper welcome.

The Z06 is a beast, correct!?!?! No matter what "discipline" you come from -- the C6Z is in a world of it's own. And that's STOCK!!

Welcome to the site!!

Your in TX so you have some top notch Crovette performance shops in your state! LG Motorsports, Carlos @ Vette Air/Quality Motorsports and MTI to name a few. They all have packages that can help you reach your goals.


Good luck and enjoy your new Z06

Welcome againm your info helps. I recommend Pipedreams' switch at nakidparts.com, he came up with it and has excellent service. It replaces the stock Exhaust Module fuse located in the fuse box under the passenger side footwell. I recommend searching the forum first for some of your questions, they have been already been discussed at length.

MostWanted

I can tell you what happened in his first post: He was genuinely happy and excited about getting his Z06 and becoming a part of this forum and asked a few innocent questions. Then...some members who have nothing better to do flamed him for not knowing EVERYTHING about his car or the forum. I really don't know why people have to post negative replies! If you don't like what someone says or asks, especially from someone who is new...MOVE ON TO ANOTHER THREAD! You should not use your negativity to up your post count. Otherwise...give them advice on using the search function or direct them to the Z06 information thread. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/show....php?t=1144462 To Shindo...welcome to the forum! You will find it to be one of the best tools you can have when working or modding your Vette. You will also learn to ignore negative people.

From another newbie, I salute your impressive array of machinery and the cajones it takes to even mount some of those bikes. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Welcome to the "brotherhood." No reason to justify yourself here. And there are no dumb questions; just some dumb answers.

Tip: filling out your profile with your location will earn you more cred here.

Welcome to the boards and congrats on the Z06. Like the poster above me said, fill out your profile and get an avatar. Little things like that make it look like you've been here awhile
