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!

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
    • I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.
