Building the Race Car....

I thought I give an update on my winter project. I found a real nice 2004 Silver ZO6 on this site last summer and brought her home to Chicago. Here is a picture of her...



She is a wonderful car to drive... and she came with a few upgrades:

LGM longtube headers
LGM catted X pipe
Borla Stinger 2 tip cat back
LGM G5X3 camshaft on 114
Exedy Twin disk racing clutch
Halltech Stinger CAI
ASP underdrive pulley kit
Hypertech 180 thermostat
Nitto 555RII's
Flush mount tail light kit
Stock wheels powder coated black w/ silver lip
Lowered all the way on factory hardware
A&A frame saver kit
shorty antenna
20% tint all around

After driving her all summer, I sent her to Fall-Line Motorsports for some serious upgrades...

Off the top of My Head....

Stripped out all interior of car

Full roll cage with NASCAR door.
Full Fire Suppression system

Moton Club Sports
Brembo 14.25 F
Brembo 13.75 R
T1 adjustable Anti-Says
Fikse Wheels Profil 5s ~ Black Star 305 X 18 f - 325 x 18 R
Tubed the rear
New Upper Control Arms w / camber radjustment
New Radiator w/ Oil Cooler
Diff Cooler
Transmission cooler
Acccue-Sump Oil System
Race Pipes, and Borla Stinger 2 Pipe exhaust...
Sparco Evo2 X2
Schroth Profi III six point harnesses X2 ~ Red
New final drive ratio...
Removed Radio, A/C, air bags, heads up display and any thing that was not atttached to the dash...
New quick release MOMO steering wheel
Lap timer transponder reciever

I am sure there is more...


So here is a few after pictures...

You my friend either have great credit or a good cash flow. Those are very nice mods. Have fun and be safe.

Very nice! I don't normally make this offer to just anyone, but knowing that you are a long time forum member in good standing... I will break you car in and test drive it as much as required to make sure it works just right. It might take a long time....

Thanks guys. I have been saving the loose change for years to get to this point.

I think the net net weight savings will be some where around300lbs. The HUD weighs about 80-lbs! All the windows and motors on the doors, A/C, OEM seats...

She's loyal to her true master... me

As for the upper control arms... Check LG Motorsports. Otherwise, I can find out for you in a week or so.

The SS wins every time... I just serve two mistresses or do they serve me....
