Default New C5 Owner
Hello everyone!

I've been using this forum a TON the past few weeks since picking up a 2003 C5Z, it's been very helpful... Thank you.

Will be putting it on the track at PittRace for a HOD event November 8th and 9th. So getting all the things lined up for that weekend has been a challenge. Brakes, overheating concerns, driver's seat problems, oil pressure sending unit replacement, etc. Getting the bugs worked out though.

Anyways, nice to meet you all.

Looks so menacing in black Are you talking about the common C5 seat wobble? Or just the sliding around in the seat........I believe they make an easy fix for the wobble, a couple of well placed plastic shims.
