    04 Z-06 Fire

    My starter caught on fire and caught the engine compartment on fire. I've got a great hook-up for the parts. Does anyone know a good place to have the body taken off and repair the damage? I live in the San Francisco Bay Area. Much thanks for any and I mean any help! gsmi837@msn.com

    Fire Damage

    My 04 Z-06 caught on fire (headers too close to starter)! What a drag.:cry Guess I'll part it out. Does anyone know what a 04 Z motor with AFR heads, comp cam, FAST intake, K&N, plus a few other things I can't remember is worth? It has 55k miles. This car ran like a raped ape!! Any idea...

    Technical Question

    I change the oil myself and it was fine no smell of gas or locking thinned out! I'm really grateful for your responce! He ( the shop) had my AFR heads sent to a machine shop and he says the machine shop says there was a white reado arouund the ex valves and he thought that was indickative of...

    Technical Question

    Could a slightly rich condition, wash down the cyliners so bad that it thined out the oil to the point that it pounded out the main bearings? Also, what is a good way (with the heads off) to tell if the bearing are wasted? Desparate---I don't trust this shop any longer

    Dr C5 Has Found Another Problem?

    Patrich, I.ve already broken my heavy duty output shaft (in two places), amd was wondering if u know anything or heard anything about Dynotech's cage that wraps arouud the rear-end and transmission? Also, I was going to have and LS7 put in my 04 ZO-6, but I've been told that it will not work...

    Tire recommendations?

    Do Nitto's come in 19 or 20's.? I would sure like to get a set but I hate to have to buy another set of wheels. I stupidly gave my stock Z-06 wheels in for a credit, when I purchased my new wheels. Didn't know any better and they GOT me!

    What's Up

    Hitman, You make a good point about just buying 2006 but I think it would be a gas to install it in my 04 and have some fun! My son works for GM so I get a break on the motor (don't know how much yet) and I think I will either have his store install it or A@A in SoCal, depending on who stands...

    What's Up

    Yep that's fairly obvious, I think I have more than enough or I won't get involved. What I was asking was if any body w/modified C-5 Z-06 had run into and or over a new one yet. I guess it's too early yet. I had one ordered and it came in but they wanted $20k over MSRP! They bumped their...

    Z06's- mods and supercharging

    Natually asperated is the only way to go! Has anybody got a crack at a C-6 Z-06? If so, how did it come out? I haven't seen one out there yet. Does anybody know when Chevy is going to put the new Z-06 motor for sale?
