Just what crank bolt are you talking about ? Crankshaft main bearing cap bolt? Conecting rod bolt ? Harmonic ballencor bolt ? Thank you , TED
WOW!!! What a year! Looking back at it now I can't believe I did all that. Man I had a great time. Too bad this year will be an off year for me, my racing, and tours. I'll probably not do any LSR racing unless one of my records is broken. The long trips and long distance events are out for now. Gonna stay close to home, probably concentrate on Autocross and Track days at Gateway Motorsports Park. Hopefully, by fall I'll go ahead and attend a couple Car Shows.
Elwood started 2013 at Steigemeier Porting getting a new supercharger snout with a "Venom Cooler", and of all things a pinned Jaguar pulley to reduce the boost. The supercharger shell was rebuffed to a brighter finish. And the engine compartment cleaned up a little more.
Since I said I'd be running the full SCCA Solo (autocross) season, my mods this year are clearly different. Picked up a set of OEM C5 5poke wheels (18x9.5), a set of 265/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires, ZR1 front sway, Z51 rear sway, and am looking for a set of Z06 springs. I'm hoping this combination will let me be competitive with the (2) C6 Z06s, RX-8, Turbo S2000, and Turbo Miata in my class. Having installed the above parts in various times during the season, I am currently the Championship points leader for my Class. Hopefully with the springs and a little suspension tuning I can stay there for the next 6 races.
But then there's always a wrench thrown into my plans. A set of headers came up for sale on eBay at a ridiculously low price that I couldn't pass up. So I'm in the process of ceramic coating them and will install next month.
