Got My C5 Back On the Road Finally

[C5Natie]

Whats up everyone? Ive been m.i.a here for a while but I finally got the black beast back on the road. After it got hit on Halloween I rebuilt the motor with forged internals and added carbon fiber flared fenders with a custom rear fascia. Still have to install the carbon fiber front lip and side skirts but shes basically done. Also have a smaller pulley for the supercharger once its all broken in. Just gotta put some break on miles in her now. Hope to see you all soon at a meet.

It's pretty sick. Probably one of the nicest C5's I've seen.

Damn son. She look good. Need to get my Vette back on the road too.

Thanks. :drink: I got the rear fascia used so I still want to paint it and maybe the whole car. We'll see.

Thanks. Hope you get the vette going soon. I know I missed driving mine. Oh to have power again! Lol.

For a few days I couldnt figure out why the car, when warm, would run pig rich and idle like crap. Cold startups were great but it seemed that something was wrong when it went into closed loop. So finally today I hooked up my data logger and found that the damn o2 sensors were criss crossed. They were in the wrong banks so each bank was fighting each other. The sensors were dirty too so I just exchanged them on warranty and replaced them. After that she ran great. What a brain fart moment. Lol

What sort of mileage are you averaging with the blower and the LS3?

I actually was looking at that today. On the 210E by Azusa I was avg 20mpg at 75mph with cruise control on according to the onboard computer. Not bad at low rpms off boost. If i had a smaller cam Im sure it would be better.

Youve done that car exactly how I would. Give me the first shot if you ever decide to sell it, ya?

I call BS, everyone knows that the 210E near Azusa doesn't move faster than 3-4 mph. :smack:

Tell is about the 911 in the photo.

Lol. I work nights so I head out to the gym that way in the morning. After 1pm I stay away.

Not sure what year it is but it has a rebuilt stroker flat 6, weber carbs n/a. The first owner of the shop specializes in Porsche's. So there's a few 911's and boxters there. My friend partnered up with him and brought the American stuff in, they do everything else too. I hang around and flip cars with them. Once in a while I share some info I've learned....from screwing up. Lol. I'll see if i can get more pics and info on the German stuff.

Well I guess this is it for this thread. The bodywork is 99.5% done, just need to tweak the front lip a bit for a better fit. Other then that, the car just got retuned and is driving great. Just over 500mi on the new motor. Ill be switching to syn oil at 1000mi. Got a few more things in the planning stages but maybe I'll make a new thread for that.
