I got the car back together. The parts I ordered off ebay they shipped me two right knuckles instead of a pair and it was the left I really needed. I ended up hunting one down Friday evening and driving an hour away to pick up a knuckle locally. A buddy helped me press in…
I got my kit from Alex this week. It came surprisingly quick. Mk60e1 ABS unit ABS harness Sensor converter box to use voltage style corvette hubs Yaw sensor Wheel speed sensor harness. The ABS harness has connections I need to chase down where to pick them up. These two sound like I can run directly…
The last week has been frustrating. I went out to test drive the car to make sure nothing was wrong on Wednesday. The battery was dead, so I throw it on the charger overnight and in the morning it’s still at 3.5v, so ex-battery. NBD, this is why I tested. So get a cheapie Walmart…
So this weekend was frustrating. I finished up the rear delrin bushings. Luckily the rear is a lot easier as you can press them out either direction. It’s even possible with the arms still on the car. I skipped the rear ball joints for now. They are in okay condition and I just wanted it…

Busy weekend Friday was fluids- did the rear diff and transmission. The diff was a little sparkly. It was also super dirty, so who knows when it was last changed. Trans fluid looked pretty okay. Amsoil went back in. Saturday- Started the coilover install. I ended up going with the Viking Crusader dual adjustables. 600F/550R….

Springs are the base ones per the casting numbers 22146484/22146483 Sway bars appear to be c6 z51 models. 25.1mm rear 31mm front 10339124 Shocks look like they are stock c6 z06 shocks 10313647 While I was in there I nudged the front ride height up with…
Future plans so far- I'm building this towards spec corvette. That allows me to run st3/tt3 with nasa too iirc. The class looks interesting and only so many things you can do Fluids need changed. Ordered most of them already- 75w-90 rear diff. Amsoil Torque drive ATF for the transmission. Supposedly its compatible with the…
