Shock valving was the big improvement for the '04 Z. The '03 was the 50th anniversary model, and it got specific C5 emblems (grey in color) that said so. I'd look for the best deal, and go for either one. Good luck with your search!!
BTW: You're gonna LOVE the Z!:_rock
Nice write-up as always Hib! These cars sure are fun with fi. My Z's at Dynotech right now getting a T-trim blower upgrade and a set of AFR duel spring heads. Can't wait to get it back.
Come on Spring!!!!!!!:lou
That's too bad about your first set of heads Steve. Everyone understands that when you buy used parts, sometimes you have problems with them. However, when that happens, you've got to be a stand up person and take care of the problem. I sold a guy a throttle body a few years ago. He had...
Hey Steve,
The heads went out yesterday afternoon from Dynotech. Phil shipped them Fed Ex ground. He said he'd shoot me the tracking number as soon as he had the chance. Let me know what your guy thinks of them.
They're seats from the old "Riverfront Stadium." When they tore it down, I bought four of them. I've watched a bunch of Reds games sitting in those seats!
Hey Steve -
Phil sent me an email this morning stating that your check came yesterday. He said as soon as it clears, he'll ship out the heads. I'll shoot you the tracking number when they're on the way.
Take Care
Tom
What I've always heard is that your valves can leak just a bit and contaminate your oil with fuel. I don't see how this could be with a fuel injected engine, but hey, oils cheap.
Never drive faster than your angel can fly..... That's one quick little sucker that follows me around!!:Steer
As for the new Z, that's a great option, but you can strap a Maggie on an otherwise stock LS1 and get 130 extra ponies for around 9 grand. Pretty cost effective and reliable...
They're OK for the street for short trips, but I wouldn't use them as an every day tire. They provide NO traction in the rain, and would wear out in no time. And, as stated earlier, they pick up everything on the road.
BTW: Great 60' time!!:beer
Here's mine...
Hey Steve,
I'll post back as soon as I hear from Phil. He'll ship 'em out as quick as possible. Did you put all your shipping info with the check? That's great to hear that your Cartech heads are OK. You should be able to sell 'em and get some of your money back.
When are you supposed to get...
Holy crap FB, that's friggin AWESOME!! What kind of wheels are you gonna put on it? I love the shark under the hood! "Fish are friends, not food!" But rice, that's another matter entirely!!!!:naughty:
Nope, sorry OG, no break coming his way. Quota or not, he could've given '04TR a warning and sent him on his way. I'll put a front plate on my Z when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers! Either that, or I get a ticket, which ever.;)
I know this thread is a few months old, but I got a smile out of reading it so I thought I'd say, Congrats Tom! Hell, I got excited just reading through the thread. Post some Pics of that monster!!:)
