NOT Another...Yes...another auotx build thread

[neema]

I popped the fuse block on the positive terminal (for the steering rack) of the battery once and it lit up all the advance trac/abs/etc lights on the dash. Take a look to rule it out.

Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I'm out of town all week but I'll go through them when I get back.

Well, so ends the build. Taking stuff off, parting it out, going to sell to fund some other ventures. It will be put back to stock with the exception of the shifter.

I need to buy a truck, so I'll do that. The C5 is getting MCS coilovers, exhaust, a better tune, gearing, wing, splitter, reverse duct hood, cowl induction, etc. I also have a super secret super crazy autocross build planned. It will be a PROJECT but it should be a class killer once it's done.

It's been fun, corner carvers! If anybody wants a low-ish miles, adult owned, garage kept, never.....uh.... technically raced 2012 GT, hit me up!

Best wishes on the vette build. I'd be very interested in the ASTs if their valving is still appropriate for like a 500/550 front spring

Everything is sold besides sway bars, spoiler and trunk lid, and the passenger seat (cobra Monaco)

I did too until he made me a killer deal on his wheels. My amateur ESP effort just took a huge step forward.

I started a build thread on Mark's 2002 Corvette at the link above (and on 4 total forums).

This C5 is going to get some nice updates soon...

 

[white86hatch]

I made a nice spot in my garage for your old wheels!

Figures I potato-cam the last picture.

Anyway, mustang is gone, and I have a somewhat unique opportunity to review a stock mustang...

It sucks. The stock mustang. Sucks. Oh my god. It bucks and dives on and off throttle, body roll...ride height. Holy shit, how did any reviewer ever think this car was a worth a damn?! At least the engine is still good....

Anyway, It's been replaced with a 2013 F150, 6.2L, Lariat, crew cab, etc. Going to be towing in comfort.

Pretty much what I tell everyone at the track. The biggest difference I noticed so far is when I swapped springs/shocks. It is like a whole new car when you do that.

Sad to see this project end. Do you have pics of the F-150?

Yes, but how's the F150's body roll, ride height, and behavior under braking?

I'm assuming it's similar to the stock mustang, because my mustang felt like a truck when I got it.

Yeah pretty close lol

[claudermilk]

Yup, wheel gap looks about the same...

Hey, there's an SVT Lightning that beat me last summer in my local autocross club. Those things are no joke!

Nice purchase - Very comfortable interior and 6.2L has lots of torque. I bought a similar vehicle to perform the same task - Daily drive / light tow. Congratulations on your new C5 build - You will in no way be disappointed.

There are several tunes available for your truck that will definitely wake it up. I suggest getting one and going to a competent shop after to modify it for your upgrades if any are planned.
