New wheels and tires - kind of..... I haven't read all of the posts here, so forgive any duplication. I replaced the standard tires with the Bridgestones RE 050A and RE 050A Scuderia. Just for comparison Stock: 235/45/ZR18 88 Y - wheel and tire 45.2 pounds - 26.33 diameter / 9.3 wide...

Closer. Have the next casting. Off to the machine shop for clean up and fit check. Looking good.

OK. I'm a little slow and just figured out when I posted about the standard wheel thread, most will assume I am thinking of a forum thread link. I am looking for the actual thread specification (size) of the center of the standard wheel where the plastic cap screw in. I know it is metric, but...

Hey bud - hope I live to be as old as you :biggrin Just think - your life has been good, and only half way through. Second half should be even better. Enjoy.

Correct - 330 fps. That's fast :wink

Yes, I need the pitch / size for the center. Working on something to screw in there - would be nice to know the actual rather than the shop trying to figure it out. Looked at that thread - thanks, but not the specific info.

Machined adapter for the center is on the way. Pictures as soon as the shop is done. just another one of those projects I am working on.

Does anyone know what the thread is on the standard wheels where the plastic cap screws in?

Thanks for checking. The model was modified to make the small tweaks we needed for a clean, initial fit. It is now back to the caster. Should have the "double check" batch of 4 within the new 2-3 days. If after the clean-up machinging they are a go, we start the run. Keep your fingers...

Signatures need to be with a paint sharpie, not a regular ink. Learned that the hard way.

If anyone is serious about the car, I am sure come of us locals could take a look.

We were having a "work on the GTs" weekend again with GT TEch. Ran into a snag and wanted to post so others can prevent the issue. If you are going to do the Ford Racing pully and tune, they do not come together. You need to order the tune from the internet and it takes a week or so to...

Quick update. Still making progress. We did a good clean up on the prototype. Took some time and made some very small changes so that it looks good and is a nice fit. Came out great. Side by side you can see the differences between the stock and replacement, but other than side by side you...

In your case, I will :biggrin

Here we go. Wanted to get a picture up to let you all know there is progress. This is the prototype. Just a quick cleanup to check for fit, so the "wavy" edge in the picture won't be there in final form (they actually look better than the picture). Finally have the machine shop for the...

Talked to a guy at a recent car show - he said 50 percent of the Z-06s have been crashed. Don't know if it is true, but still points to a high rate with that car.

I do my oil changes. That way I am sure the torexs are not being cross threaded, etc. Also gives a good chance to look at stuff, clean the stones off the belly pans (they are rock collectors), etc. Doesn't takethat long. Best item to get is that Checker Auto (by many names across the...

OK. On my way to the antique store to buy one.

We Have Vent Latest update. They did cast last Friday, but had some issues, and cast two more times. The third was the charm. I have in my hands the first CAST ALUMINUM TOP CLAMSHELL VENT. Looks real good. :banana :banana :banana I need to do the typical casting cleanup on the gating and...
