Thank you!

Yes, the momentary switches are only sending a voltage signal. No need for heavy duty.

I did make a video for that but it looks like I never posted it. I’ll dig through the footage to see if I can find it. In short, you can slide the cover off of the airbag and use silicone or caulk to glue it in from the back.

@@joshc1017 No worries man, I think I figured it out doing exactly what you described. Thanks!

Great question! It’s probably best if you do but I did not fully torque them each time because it’s kind of a pain. I got them close, then double checked everything after final assembly.

@@joshc1017 Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.Regards

They make a glossy clear that you can use as a top coat. I would have laid that on top if I could get it in CA. Maybe give that a shot. I think it looks better and it should be easier to clean.

I’m glad they’re helpful. Thanks!

It just needs to be clean. It’s basically a spray on wrap.

Thanks!

Yeah, I need to figure out what’s up with that camera. It missed some good action in the second race.

Yeah, my brakes did not want to cooperate that time around. Dave's eyes got huge when we watched the footage last night. I had a couple pucker moments at the exit of 6, too. Now to dial it back just a hair so I make fewer mistakes...

Yeah, we cancelled Utah and replaced it with Laguna. Sounds like we need to fire our web admin...

@@joshc1017 dang that could really mess up someone’s weekend. Are you guys racing tomorrow at laguna?

@@sshag4653yes, qualifying at 9:45, race around 2 pm. Race should be livestreamed on the racing network.

Yes, 60 lbs makes a difference and the right rear wheel is light at 1/2 tank (from a cross weight perspective). Some folks like to bring the car in close to empty at the end of a race and calculate the amount of gas they need to have in each race. That stresses me out, so I prefer to start full. In either case, weight distribution is changing as you consume fuel, so you’re either starting closer to 50/50 or finishing that way, assuming you’re running 30-40 minute sprint races.

Yeah, I really wasn’t expecting to reel him in like that, even with the different lines we were taking through 1 and 2. Before lowering the rear, the car was more twitchy under braking and wanted to rotate too much when trail breaking. With the back wanting to step out at turn entry, it was hard to get power down early.

Yes, I used the factory upper shroud. I’ve seen one racer make his own shroud and use silicone to get a tighter seal and force all air through the radiator. He also removed the factory fans and replaced them with a 14” fan to keep it cool enough at idle in the pits but allow more air through at speed. His coolant temps run lower, so I’m putting that (replacing fans) on my list as something to try.

Thank you!

Are you going to disable the AIR system? If so, you can remove the air pump, etc. Spec Corvette AIR System Removal kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKGzZpeXqr6JhaM

@@joshc1017 I didn’t plan on it. Do I have to with the zip tie conversion?

@@shawn1394if you want to keep the the air system functioning, you can either extend the hose over to the original port, drill a new hole in the opposite side of the air box to move the port, or install a small cone air filter directly on the hose.

@@joshc1017 thank you so much for the info. I appreciate you!

Right on! Glad to hear that it helped!

Thank you! I had the will power to go light on the WhistlePig this time. LOL

Thanks! Yes, they are well built. Tim is a pro driver and AP gets a ton of seat time, too.

Thanks! It was hard to back out of that first side-by-side with Marc but it was better to not let Tim and AP get away from us.

I think the announcers referred to them as ‘flies”, cracked me up. I didn’t have any issues with them though. They were all quick to point by and make room.

I am running the spec spoiler from G-Stream but no wings in Spec Corvette. That little spoiler produces quite a bit of extra downforce; so much that it took a while to figure out how to rebalance the car when we added it a couple years ago.

SCCA charged $702 for the double race weekend (Sat and Sun total).

@@joshc1017 Very reasonable; about what I paid last 2-day event there with Speed Ventures. Thanks for the quick reply.

Do it! It’s the most fun you can have legally!

@@joshc1017 what's always held me back is being a moron mechanically. I've never turned a wrench really. Well, that and space for a trailer of some kind. I could keep a car in garage, not sure what I'd do as far as a trailer. No space on my property for one, at all, unfortunately. For finding a car, where would you start? Look for a C5 on auto trader or similar, seek out someone who has already built one, something else?

I found mine on Craig’s List and built it in my garage at home. If you get one with low miles, it’s just a matter of getting it caged and bolting in some parts. If you want a turn-key car, you can find one in the Spec Corvette racers group or have a builder like Phoenix (they’re expensive but good) or One Mo Time Racing (James Davidson in FL) put one together for you.

Thank you! I appreciate the encouragement! Good luck with your build!

@@joshc1017 thanks!!

Glad they were helpful. Hope to meet you at Willow Springs one of these days!

No issues at all. The rears were tuned out and the widebands I added are working great.

@@joshc1017 okay awesome thanks! I gotta get that done

Trackspec makes a “tall guy” version of their cage that might be worth checking out, although the AMT ultra low seat mount may be enough. The two in combination will definitely give you the clearance you’re looking for.

@@joshc1017 thanks for the info. I am definitely going to check that out 🙂

You’re welcome! Hope it was helpful and you were able to resolve the issue.

It’s a 2001

It’s information provided by Tick when buying their slave cylinder with remote bleeder.

Yes, I removed the parking brake when I converted to 2-piece rotors in the rear.
