Found Geoff's post thanks for the tip!
Still would like to see what you do.

Here's a cool trailer.

hammdo · 05-03-2019, 10:25 AM

I saw that at fest! Not a lot of room for 4 wheels but very nice!

QUICRNU · 05-03-2019, 05:35 PM

You could make that work!! Truck compartment for tools etc.... Tonneau compartment slightly extended for wheels!!

hammdo · 05-03-2019, 06:43 PM

Nah... for this, I want simple and quic ;o) (yes, k is missing on purpose ;o)

-Don

hammdo · 05-07-2019, 10:57 PM

Just a quick update on things:

Oil is @ 49% so I'll be changing that soon and sending out for a Blackstone report.

Car is running excellent since Mark and I spent the better part of 2 weeks dialing in the changes I made. We'll be doing VVE to help smooth the transitions next.

The 6th Gen Radius arms are working excellently. About 800 miles on it and not a single hick-up.

The super light lug nuts are still tight and have not loosen up in over 500 miles of driving -- that is great news.

Up next as noted, VVE tuning, Wing (when it gets here -- the waiting ugh), then prep for CamaroFest (not racing this year so, I'll be packing lighter this time!).

Took it out tonight and she is just purrrrring -- love that...

Toyos are starting to show wear in the rear (has a couple of track days and several thousand miles) -- with a few 'um' quick takeoffs -- $$ going up quick ;o).

I'll ck the fronts and see how they're doing and determine if I get just rears or, all 4.

Ah, the fun of things...

-Don

hammdo · 05-08-2019, 09:17 PM

Wing is about ready! Anwar from C7 said they’re tweaking the carbon fiber base plate and he said it came out spectacular!

Said it might take an extra week to get it done — I’m ok with that. So excited!

Project for the week after next — Fun!

-Don

Tajefe Couple · 05-08-2019, 09:33 PM

Will be interesting to see that wing.
Sounds like you've been able to get some miles in lately as well.

hammdo · 05-08-2019, 09:40 PM

Yeah, driven it quite a bit while tuning it. Happy how it’s doing so far. VVE tuning is next.

Running out of things to do now but, after 5 years of projects, bound to happen ;o)

Can’t wait to see how the wing turns out. If I’m lucky enough to find a wind tunnel, may see how it does - just for research and my ‘edumication’ ;o)

-Don

olblue75 · 05-09-2019, 09:59 PM

Been waiting to see the wing you speak of, not doin too good over on Corvette forum. :-(

hammdo · 05-09-2019, 11:11 PM

As in getting one or issue with them?

C7 has been keeping me updated so, we’ll find out... part of my ‘research’ to see what/how this does

hammdo · 05-17-2019, 10:35 PM

Wing is on its way! Anwar let me know she is ready... Can't wait!

-Don

hammdo · 05-19-2019, 06:34 PM

Well, Mark (ABADZL1) has been updating my VVE tables so I can run 'blended' mode. Took us over 2 weeks to get the trims in line but finally, after today, he feels we can't do any better!

So, this tune is all set and I'll take it out tonight to see how she does in blended mode!

Toyos are starting to show the 'wear' of the, um, 'hard' takeoffs so I'll probably need to get some before fest -- I have the other set but, would rather keep those for just racing.

Next, the wing is on its way! Trunk is ready to do the work -- will be some fun next weekend (hopefully ;o)

Big shout out to Mark (ABADZL1) -- super guy and a huge help with my tuning... Learning VVE was fun!

-Don

hammdo · 05-23-2019, 02:45 PM

Wing is IN!

Came in today and it sure is pretty! The packing was outstanding -- and I'll never complain if anyone over-protects it (like this one was!).

Here is the box and the packing:

Hi-Res of the wing:

Once I get ready to do the setup on the trunk, I'll take more pics of the stands and the custom fit for the 10-13 trunk.
