Custom Widebody Project plus intro

Spectrel · 11-18-2009, 09:13 PM

Hey guys I don't normally hang out in the Canadian section but someone suggested I post my project here (it's also in C6 general).

So today my complete body kit arrived at my office and was a nice distraction from the huge pile of work I should be doing. The kit appears to be very high quality after a quick inspection and no parts were damaged during shipping. I'll have a better update once I've had some time to look the kit over.

Info on the kit here:

I already have a set of chrome Z06 wheels with 345's out back to fill the fenders, and a few more go fast goodies in the works.

I snapped a few quite photos and will start test fitting the parts over the next couple of weeks. Enjoy

Here are a few pictures from my modding process, the car was bone stock when I picked it up last December:

Ryan

Glad you posted up in the Can Section

You will come to learn it is a great group of people

Jutskin · 11-19-2009, 05:53 PM

Looking forward to seeing progress pics.
Very cool.

Spectrel · 11-19-2009, 07:39 PM

I can't wait to get started, my only worry is that some of the pieces weren't formed correctly since it's the first run (literally the first full kit out). I don't have any reason to think this is the case, but no one has this kit on their car yet so we'll see what happens when I test fit.

Other Mods on the list:

DBA 2 Piece slotted rotors
Pfadt camber kit
Pfadt adjustable sways
Pfradt bushing kit

The go fast goodies:

Trickflow 225 with a big bump in compression
Meth Injection
Possible flycut
N20

My goal is to break 500 rwhp and 460 rwtq on stock cubes....then spray to 600rwhp/600 rwtq

I mostly run HPDE days at Shannonville and Calabogie come next year but want that little extra for when I go to the strip.

Hey Rob you'll be hearing from me again soon about the head, meth and N20 install. Everything else has been bullet proof since the last time I had my car there. 10k km of Track days, 1/4 mile runs ,street pulls and it only seems to be getting stronger. Great work

Nice looking project you got going there

The car I mean.

That is a neat looking front end.......the car again......... is it one piece with the splitter molded in??......... no.....the new body parts.......er car parts.......

Are you a drag guy or track guy....... regardless welcome to the Canadian site.......look forward to seeing the work progress

Spectrel · 11-19-2009, 09:14 PM

The bumper and splitter are separate pieces. I do make it out for the odd drag night but prefer track days by far. To be honest with money I have in the car I should have just bought a Z06 off the bat. But what do you do when it's too late to go back....you keep going.

corrado · 11-19-2009, 09:47 PM

I pray for you that they really do "bolt on" (withOUT needing modifications) Sadly, I have learned that unless it is made by GM, it almost never is. Sometimes you get lucky tho, so stay positive bud!

spicytuna · 11-19-2009, 11:33 PM

Very nice!!! Thanks for posting.

Oh, the car isn't too bad either.

Cdn Z06 Mike · 11-20-2009, 08:16 PM

Welcome and nice ride. Will look awesome when completed I'm sure! you won't have much trouble finding road racers on this site!

Indy · 11-21-2009, 10:59 AM

That's going to be (and already is) an awesome ride...just please don't put a Z06 badge on the fenders
