The correct GM color code for the 2002-04 Z06 wheel is WA9789. I don't know if it is the same for 2001 Z06 wheels, which I believe were made by a different company. You can go to paintscratch.com for a bottle of touch-up paint for the 2002 color. Last year, I bought a bottle directly from...

Millennium Yellow was the only color I wanted for my '02 Z06. As Corvette Racing knows, all fast Vettes are yellow or else they would be racing their C5R's and C6R's in some other color. Rod

There's no substitute for experience and "seat time". Walk the course before the event and visualize how best to drive it, look ahead when driving to see what's coming up on the course and not just over the hood of your car, look how the good drivers are driving the course when you are out...

Scatrat, I can't help you specifically with RA-1's on a Z06, because mine has PS2's. But, I've run through several sets of RA-1's on my Porsche 911 and love the tire. There are some local Z06 autocrossers who race with Kuhmo's and use Toyo RA-1's as their street tires. Don't expect great...

I have been running the home-made tunnel port for over year with no problems in a state that requires front license plates. If I have a problem driving without a front plate, all I have to do is remove the modified cover and install the plate. When I cut an opening for the vent, I was careful...

Tom, I originally had the GM Chevy C5R valve covers with the "Corvette" name on them but, as you probably know, they don't have the groove for the valve cover seal in them so they can't be used on a production Gen III or IV engine. You could probably have the seal groove cut in the C5R covers...

Hey, thanks for the reply. At least with that change it won't look like my car is smiling, like one friend says. Here is a picture of my latest mod, relocating the coil packs to the frame rails and putting on the "Chevrolet" valve covers. I need to clean up and cover the wiring harnesses but...

Max, you have a nice looking Vette. Do you have your front license plate on a hinge, or how do you keep from ripping it off when entering a drive way or going over a speed bump? By the way, I don't know if they will ship to you, but I bought the exact stainless steel mesh to match that used on...

Tom, thanks for the nice comment regarding my home-made tunnel port. I opened up the area in the facia behind the vent opening but was careful to keep the lower license plate mounting points in case I ever have to put on a front license plate. Max, I feel for you living in a cold Winter...

This is our 1969 Porsche 911T, which I used as a daily driver for over 25 years. After retirement, I converted it into an autocross/track car for my wife and I to drive for fun. It is the most dependable car I've ever owned, easy to work on, never worked on by anyone but me, and it has never...

Max, Go for it! I wanted a tunnel port that looked similar to the vent opening on this C5R. I am happy with it and like the looks of the car with the smaller opening. Rod

Hi Everyone, Several months ago I installed a Halltech tunnel port on my '02 Z06 and it worked great for what it was designed for. However, I always liked the looks of the smaller lower center vent opening on the C5R's and the Halltech didn't do much for the aerodynamics of the front end. So...

Hi Patrick, Yeah, us planner-types have to stick together! I spent 30 years in the planning field. I always said that I would retire before I lost my sense of humor and my health, and I've known several planners (mostly consultants) who have died at an early age from all the stress related to...

I retired at the end of 2001 after 25 years of being the Director of Development Services and Planning Director for a city in the Inland Empire area of Southern California. Now my wife and I do anything we want to do , which usually involves traveling and going on cruises, hotrodding around in...

I bought a column lock simulator from Corvettes of Houston and installed it yesterday, which took less than 30 minutes to do. I've only owned my 2002 Z06 for three weeks with no problems, and the second owner didn't have any steering lock problems for the year that he owned it. However, after...
