First post vanished, or I put it in the wrong spot. This one will be much shorter. Just picked up a 2002 z06 in electron blue. Was very well maintained, 43k miles. Started off basic with Borla exhaust, R1 concept brakes, Hinson short shifter, window tint and head unit upgrade. I’ve also attacked the wet passenger floorboard with some luck. Not sure I have the original windshield, I’m still getting drops down the inside during rain/wash. Mods are at a stand still for a few months, but I’m ready to head what you guys have to suggest or recommend!

The most frustrating gripe ever
My time has come to face the “service column lock” in the ‘02z. Can’t imagine it would be a voltage issue since I put a new battery in last week and I’m showing 14.4 volts in the gauge. I’m not really concerned with whether or not the recall was done since it didn’t really seem to fix anything anyways. Now she’s stuck in the driveway till payday so I can get the LMC5. From what I’ve read, that’s the fix all for this issue. Any thoughts or suggestions?
