[QUOTE="Manny@Dasilva, post: 83167, member: 78"] 2100kms on the 2016 Z06 and I have to say that , this car is everything I hoped it would be and more . The car is very nimble and response and the A8 automatic is a blast . Now we all know that I can't leave anything alone , and that every car should be modded :) So it begins ............ First up I could not live with the 4x4 stance . [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150804_090417_zpskkewqqwk.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150804_090417_zpskkewqqwk.jpg[/IMG][/URL] So on the rack it went and Dave got it lowered on the stock bolts 3/4" and a new alignment . [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150804_090432_zps7pwpb43m.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150804_090432_zps7pwpb43m.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now this is a much better stance : [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150804_103500_zpsl32kaegu.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150804_103500_zpsl32kaegu.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Now the stance is much more visually appealing , but it does have a small drawback ...because we lowered it on the stock bolts , the shock travel has been reduced making the ride a little more harsh . Nothing that I can't live with , but I am concerned that over time the Magnetic Ride system will sustain some damage . SO the next step is the install a set of LG Motorsports 1 Lower spindles - Look for this write up in a few weeks. Here is a sneak peek : [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/lg-c7-dropspindles_zpst0eenfye.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/lg-c7-dropspindles_zpst0eenfye.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/C7%20Drop%20Spindles_zpsiix4h8f4.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/C7%20Drop%20Spindles_zpsiix4h8f4.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Next up was some tint and VentureShield Clear Film protection . The entire front end and hood have been done as well as the carbon splitter . I also changed out the red calipers for the much better looking black ones . [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150813_155630_zpsnj1py2us.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150813_155630_zpsnj1py2us.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Next up , I noticed that the OEM pads created a ton of brake dust , that was over the wheels . So I had of the Carbotech street pads installed . Oh what a huge difference overall in brake dust but also much quieter and braking did feel more firm . A set of Stainless Steel brake lines will be making their way on soon as well . First up with power end of the mods was to do a baseline . The car came in right where I thought it should be . [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150817_104253_zpsi3nnqbq3.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150817_104253_zpsi3nnqbq3.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 531.43 RWHP & 580.61 RWTQ I reached out to Jim Hall at Halltech and he provide the shop with one of his New Stinger RZ Cold Air Intakes . Install was very easy , and we did do a few things different just to tidy up the engine bay . Got say we were blown away by the results . [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert001/20150821_122036_zpsbsgmvuta.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150821_122036_zpsbsgmvuta.jpg[/IMG][/URL] 51 RWHP & 23 RWTQ gain from just a bolt is amazing : [URL='http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/20150821_121801_zpsftszydw1.mp4'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert001/th_20150821_121801_zpsftszydw1.mp4[/IMG][/URL] With tuning we believe that these number will go up . So there you have it 3 weeks in and we have some great progress . Next up will be the Akrapovic Titanium EVO Exhaust System [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert023/EVo.1_zpsjwlxh3xl.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert023/EVo.1_zpsjwlxh3xl.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert023/EVO.2_zpsopdipotj.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert023/EVO.2_zpsopdipotj.jpg[/IMG][/URL] [URL='http://s134.photobucket.com/user/C5vert/media/C5vert023/Evo_zpstufwtkfx.jpg.html'][IMG]http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q88/C5vert/C5vert023/Evo_zpstufwtkfx.jpg[/IMG][/URL] After that a set of headers & highflow cats will added to the full Akrapovic system with Titanium xpipe . Our in house ability to weld Titanium sure comes in handy . Hope you enjoyed the read and pictures ........much more to come [/QUOTE]
