Still has round tail lights like a GTR but has extra 2 cylinders. Will give it a good clean and some paint as its fully vinyl wrapped.

Trip to the Dyno with a few more mods and ready for some fun next year.

Will post up some more images along the way of the strip down and clean up.

Yes its a 2002 C5 Z06 Corvette, 5.7 LS6 motor and left hand drive. Its been racing in the US for around 5 years and finished 7th outright at the Corvette Nationals few years back. Has some good gear fitted all ready, with big oil coolers, accusump, gear box cooler and pumps, diff cooler, Willwood brakes, fire bomb, cool suit, coil overs, adjustable sway bars. 17x11 inch rims front and back and just picked up some Dunlop slicks to start some track testing.

Plans are to buy some extra parts bought a Corvette World Challenge front splitter and making a GT spec rear wing with rear diffuser.

Will get some 18" rims when I find some that fit nicely and use some semi slicks at time attack events as well.

Few more pics did take long to pull it apart...

Wowzers....

A) Awesome car to race in.

B) Looks like an awesome place to live, and

C) How the hell do you choose which car to race in when you have a 35 in the garage?? I know which one I'd rather drive in the rain!

    • Apologies, while id like to put the MAF as close to the TB and relocate the recirc, this may be too much work. Will most likely end up just putting it on the original AFM spot ( onto/next to the airbox ).  Was going through nistune, found a pretty nifty doc on this. Nistune MAF Notes. Also, i was looking through the bay, and there seems to be a tube/line connected from the A/C to the intercooler piping ( Between the smic and the recirc), what does this do as the crossover fmic piping doesnt have any connection? plumbing? not sure what you call it but the nipple thing ahah.  Also, been reading up more about crossover fmic in regards to the legality of having the hole drilled for the piping, this would most likely need to be engineered right?
    • My advice is if you need a big build done do it in Japan. The yen rate is so favorable and there are shops that can be genuinely trusted and not micromanaged/carefully monitored every step of the way. Garage Yoshida is obviously my preferred option but they're so busy these days and all interaction with new customers has to be mediated through BBL/Toprank now. 
    • I haven't....but a poorly made one would terrify me. Surely a good second hand one is the go, as they don't work hard and no-one wants to keep one after they are finished with it A big consideration would be the weight of the shell you are putting on it....is it a fully dressed chassis or just the body
    • Not stock. All remade. Mostly looks stock because the pipes run to and from the standard holes in the inner guard to get to the return flow FMIC. I'm not sure which question you're trying to ask, because it seems like "stock position" vs "stock position".
    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
