Track Day 03 - No changes but all fun @ Button Willow CW 13

After the first two track days, I was gunning to hit my third track day with some notable upgrades. Unfortunately shipping woes would not allow it as two of my incoming tires dissappeared. How two of 4 tires all sent out at the same time go missing is beyond me, but eh that's not my problem as I was later sent out two tires.

Suspension Upgrade Time - Installing QA1 Proma Star Double Adjustable Coilover + Progress Swaybars

Short Version:

Overall the QA1 Proma Star coilovers for the C5 Corvette and the progress sway bars are solid products that can be dialed in to produce a very balanced handling car other drivers will be envious of. When configured right and with some minor aftermarket parts, these sway bars and coilovers do both work pretty darn good together.

Current Parts / Specs

This page will hopefully continue to serve as a place where I can keep track of the current modifcations done to the Miata. Some modifications and work were performed to the vehicle prior to my ownership, and I will update to include that information as soon as I discover them.

C5 Corvette Useful Links and Documentation

This page will be used to capture links and reference documents/images so as I can find it later and/or other folks may benefit from it.

I purchased some Hood Louvers for my 1999 C5 Corvette after watching a variety of youtube videos all claiming it helped with cooling. My goal first and foremost with the Corvette was to keep it cool. As an added bonus, the louvers looked REALLY friggen good on the Corvette, so I was all about installing them.

The C5 corvette came to me stock. Painfully stock, as in still had a tape deck in it stock. A lot of basics had to go or be sorted out to improve the drive quality in general. The following is a rolling list of upgrades and noteworthy maintenance that has been done to the car.
