Thanks guys... one way to wake up in the morning is to go into garage and take a gander at the red-on-red.. that will wake you up

As to what is next... the exhaust... I want to keep the OEM rear mufflers and tips (l like the look of the OEM set up and want to keep car pretty stock in appearance) but know about the restrictive mid resonator so I going to do a custom mid pipe and retain the OEM mufflers etc.

The original solid roof has a scratch and lining is loose so it goes off for restoration.

And I am not rushing this one but know the injectors will tank at some point due to the 10% ethanol in the gasoline.

So far I have upgraded the brakes, Haibek chip, parts here and there, of course all fluids, Bose speaker repair (thanks to Doc Don), detailing etc. You will love this picture... I call it my 'hmmm... lumbar does NOT seem to be pumping up' (I replaced both seat pumps) picture...as they say a picture bespeak a 1000 words>>>>


In went a new lumbar bladder and all is well now!
Michael

I decided with mine due to codition I got it in and the mileage 60K I am making it my own, not keeping it completely stock

Yeah, I hear ya on "da planz". Pizza the other night w/ Pete and y'all, and poppin' in to see Marc Haibeck(sp?) a couple days ago, and now I have a "list" too!! I'm thinking 36mm & LT headers and one of Marc's chips should get me up by 50-60 ponies - just wanna be on parity with the base '08 C6s, I guess! (Did someone say 4.10 gear???)

I'll be plenum popping (hopefully) today, if ya wanna "drop by", Jeff!

I should have left you a card of the guy that did mine. Like I had said, I used an LT4 resonator which other than the welds looks like stock. I'll get the guy's # and post it up, he's located south of Quantico, but came well recommended. He was very careful with the car and did a great job.

If you need help with the injectors, I'm sure one of us locals would be glad to help. I've done it twice now, and hopefully get a little better at it each time...
