The engine story trips me out. You'd rather blow up a usdm C5? But fun is fun, and its still one hell of a build log :trophy: The block had already been modified and was acquired in a bundle package for not a lot of dollars. I have (2) other basically 0 mile, OEM refreshed C5 engines. I know the po...

Yes this will be a turbo engine!

Parts and pieces incoming a plenty!! Had this 2000 C5 block I got from another member here. Had CTR pistons in it when I got it on stock R rods. I had this sent out to Bart (formerly from DP Racing) and had him take care of the bottom end. I got some SCAT H beam rods, and free floating flat top pist...

The FK8 folks out west roll deep at track days and they have for years, dating to the release of the FK8. Yes, the car had (has?) overheating issues. No, that didn't stop the CTR crowd from renting out and doing their own local versions of a dedicated community track day at Buttonwillow, Thunderhil...

Ryan if you join us, I'll have a session in whatever ITR I bring with your name on it.

I would possibly be able to get something organized at Lime Rock.

But not sure how many would make the trip this far to the NE....

A very unusual start to the new year here in New York with 48* degree weather and sunshine. So since I needed to go to the Orange store, I took the Orange caR 8-) https://i.imgur.com/Pqq2yuS.jpg I broke one of the lower sway bar links up front, makes a nice little noise on aggressive on/off throttle...
