Friend of mine Kyle Eagleton took this pic last night of me at the starting line at Pittsbrugh Raceway Park. First time I've been down in over a year, but I have 35+ passes at this track in this Corvette. I LOVE how he snapped it as all staging lights are lit, and the first ambers are just...

Had an opportunity to get my 93 Corvette (62K on car) dyno'ed today and took it. 3 pulls on a Mustang dyno for $75, all for charity. First off some background, only power influence mods/changes are as follows: X-pipe in place of resonator Muffler Eliminators Fresh LT4 Valve springs, installed...

Over this winter I swapped out my stock FX3 springs and sway bars for a set off a 236K 92 Z07 car. I know high mileage, but keep in mind GM wore out the testing equipment not the springs. No damage or delamination to the springs and mostly likely a lot of highway miles. Anyhow, compared to the...

This is for a 93 Corvette. Anyone know where I might find a upper column housing? You know the one that always gets worn out by the pivot pins. I did find one site with them, but at $600 for NOS units and $285 for reconditioned units that cannot 100% garenttee no movement...I'll pass. gm...

For a stock cam LT1 application do you see any reason this kit would not be a good replacement/freshening? Given my use of my Corvette, just looking to keep things fresh, not planning any internal engine mods not even 1.6 roller rockers. I don't want to bump that many classes in the SCCA rule...

We'll I managed to do it, I got a set of J55 brakes, and will be getting a set of Z07 springs/bars from 92 with a blown engine. Everything to do the complete swap out on my 93 that is FX3 only at this time. No LCA bushings as the donor car has 227K on it. I think I'll be fine with my 60K...

My auto-x buddy finally got up some video from his GoPro from an event in August. Its pretty cool. Figured I'd share a more fun thread. Allegheny Highlands SCCA Autocross 8/11/12 - 1993 Chevy Corvette 40th A.E. Run #1 - YouTube Allegheny Highlands SCCA Autocross 8/11/12 - 1993 Chevy Corvette...

Got kinda of a strange issue on my buddies 94. At idle it has a definite miss, maybe 1 cylinder a most. Checked spark off coil with inline checker=constant spark no dropping out. Checked the easy to get too #4 plug wire=steady and even spark. Running down the road, runs ok at a cruise, WOT...

I've been searching for a set of Z07 springs and bars for my 93 FX3 coupe. I've found them, but the car they are coming off of has 220K miles on it. The LT1 finally spun a bearing I am told. I know that GM tested the springs quite extensively and my understanding is that they are practically not...

I did a SCR Region auto-x drivers school today and I had a blast. Learned a ton about me and my Corvette. Counting this event that is 10 so far. I love it, and I'm hooked. Now for the bad part. My instructor took the wheel after my first 6 runs and he put down a 7th. On the 8th run, the brake...

Guy let me use his Go Pro at my last auto-x. I need to get one of these. Looks slow cause we mounted it on top of the targa, but I am going fast and I am very busy inside the car. I can see where I was screwing up and not doing things I need to be doing....:eyerole FYI, I turned a 40.367 as my...

So this winter, I was bored and was reading some product reviews here at :CAC, and I came across Hib Halverson's review of the hatch vent. I thought I might try one, so I did. I used it today for the first time, about 75 out. WOW, so...much cooler in the interior of the car. Windows down, hatch...

Over this off season I've been broweing CF, Craigslist, and Ebay for any C4 bits I might need/want. I found a few...it pays to keep your eyes open for deals!!! :cool: Every coolant hose/line for a LT1, Spark Plugs & Wires, Stant 180 T-stat, Coolant Bottle w/sensor...ALL NOS on Craigslist at...

Anyone know the specs for ALL of the o-rings in LT1 fuel systems? Given the stories of fuel fires and such, and that many of our cars are nearing 20 years old. Not a bad I idea to replace them, at least in my book. Seems to me there are 2 at the filter, 1 at the return connection near filter...

A little back ground, this past summer I resurrected a 87 Buick Grand National from basically a, no-start then magically did one day to running like it should. Car basically has sat for the good part of the last decade more or less. Neglected to say the least, lots of BAD on this car, even 1...

I just finished reading my (new to me) copy of The Heart of the Beast by Anthony Young. Awesome book. Like Dave McLellan's book Corvette From the Inside, it left me with more questions than I had before I started reading the book. That being said, to all ZR-1 owners or former owners, how is the...

Ok, so last fall at the drag strip I was running in the 108 MPH range with my trap speeds running 93 Sunoco fuel. Both of the stations in my town closed this past march. In the spring I ran the car and only got 103 MPH. I figured old, Sunoco Fuel w/stabil just was not cutting it. So I used come...

For better or for worse, I ran my first ever event in mid August, I just did my 4th one last Saturday. It is a ton of fun, and I am learning a LOT, both about the car and me. Kinda of funny but the more I use my Corvette in motorsports and drive it too, the more I really love this car. It proves...

I'm tired of the rain around here so I said, screw it, I'm going anyhow. Rained the entire time, a cold one at that. 45 degrees. The SCCA chapter I am running with has a new venue. One that is for our use and will be kinda like a "home base." A private airport that was not in use. Had it...

I have a delima, my local Sunoco stations are no longer and my Corvette loved that fuel, ran fantastic. I got the time slips with good traps to prove it. Now I have been running BP, well, I got back to the drag strip last night and the car trapped worse than just about ever, and my launches...
