Qwik6's 2001 Corvette

[Qwik6]

no pics yet. Didnt have the time to take any before work. It took the shop almost 3 hours to install the wheels on the car. They had to swap the tire pressure sensors onto the new ones.

 

[Qwik6]

Only pic I have of the wheels.

nice

 

[tunersteve]

I like them. Remind me vaguely of C6 Z06 wheels. You gonna leave the calipers red or paint them black?

 

[Qwik6]

Yes. Calipers will be left red. Here are some better shots. I polished up the passenger side wheels today.

So far it went from this:

I'm not usually a huge fan of Corvettes.. but that is sexy.

 

[tunersteve]

Looks good. Although I prefer the Z06 wheels that were on it But, thats just my opinion.

Sexy car.

+1, I like the C5 Z06 wheels as well over the CCW ones.

You gonna put the proper Z06 rear brake ducts in or leave the imitation ones in?

those are staying. They arent fake. they are actually functional. These were installed back when the car was new since the zo6 side vent kit wasnt even on the market yet. It would probably cost me a few grand to get the actual zo6 ones installed as a whole new lower side would have to be put on. I like these better anyways. Car is at the shop rght now for an alignment.

ps- I think someone tried to break into it last night. After everone in my house went to sleep the alarm started going off. So we all ran outside to see if anyone was there. My rear trunk had been unlatched on one side.

I figured they were functional, but they just look funny IMO.

 

[Tungsten6]

Damn thats a nice 6 in the background

I dropped the car off at the shop this morning around 10:30. I asked the guy if being that low would be an issue. He said it shouldn't be. So 1:00 rolls around and its getting close for me to go to work. He said he hasnt gotten to it yet. I had to go to work so I drove the old beater mazda6. Anyhow my dad went to check on it and pick it up for me. They said the car was to low to even drive up on the ramp. My dad then took it to another alignment shop that usually does my car. They said they probably wont be able to get it on their lift either but they would have to take a look when they drove it up on there. Looks like I am going to have to take a day off work next week to get it done. I may have to drive a couple hours away to a shop I know can do it.

If you lived closer I would tell you to go to All Aspects. He does alot of alignments for race prepped zo6's.
