@@TerryBrown-dx6nu built a lot of interesting projects over the years.

@@YellowJacketGarage may need to clear a tree or two in the path. Shouldn’t have much issue I thought in your area.

@JWsGarage the antenna is clear but it's just slower than I had expected.

🙏….

Wheel specs won’t help you a bit my man, they were specifically measured and built to the car, also took over 6mos to have made.

Thank you, Love to have ya join the chat, going to go live tonight once it cool down a bit and I don’t have to have the fans going.

Think I fixed it.

@@JWsGarage it was definitely better.😎

Nahhh!!! 😂

Surprised anyone got that far in the video but thank you.

@@JWsGarage I watch all your stuff all the way through, if I haven't commented it's because I'm probably behind on watching something but I'll get there.🤣 I kind of take notes on the stuff I still need to buy too though.

@YellowJacketGarage have to admit I’ve discovered a lot of tools etc myself on TH-cam channels that I’ve needed as well. And greatly appreciated thank you 🙏.

Unfortunately no, bare minimum is 18”.

Amazing the info still isn’t easily found. 👍👍👍.

I like Fuzor as well.

5X120.65

Good 👀.

Thank you 🙏

That was a snug top, it’s not made any longer I been on the lookout for another for some time.

Yes sir the price has come down a lot.

Glad to hear it worked out for ya! How’d it fit with factory wheels or do you have aftermarket?

I have aftermarket wheels, had to used 20x10 F - and 20 x12 R-, concave style , I went with ZR1 widebody kit , @@JWsGarage

Oh !! just so you know,, calipers from c7 fit just like this Cadillac one ,,on c5- c6 - c7 . there all the same fit,, @@JWsGarage

Will it fit with c7 base corvette brembos? I think they’re the same as the Cadillac brembos

Are you using the C5 spindle? If yes absolutely if not compare the caliper mounting spread between the bolts on the S10 spindle and look at the spread on the ATSV caliper per a tech drawing if they match all you gotta do is shim to center.

@@JWsGarage they make a bracket for s10 to c5 calipers that shims it and aligns it with c5 rotors. What’s the part number for those calipers

@@FIVE5NINE link to the parts is in one of the two videos on the brakes. It’s down in the description of the video.

My black Vette has the C6 Z06 calipers same issue with wheels but I’ve had 3 piece cistom iForged wheels on the car for nearly 20 years now.

​@@JWsGarage the c6z with the nascar brakes has CCW T10's that just baaaaarely clear the calipers! I have another c6z that has a set of 3-piece iForged wheels on it, too, funny enough. I think they're called "Aero's" - 13" wide(!) in the rear, lol. Tbh, I'd almost bet they would clear the nascar calipers on the 07 z06, too. I got those long after I had already solved my brake+wheel clearance problems... but they actually seem made to allow a ton of clearance too 🤔 iForged does (/did) make a pretty quality wheel though, for sure!

I got the iForge Aeros on the black car 20x13 rear 19x11 front. I had to shave the caliper slightly on the corners for the C6 Z calipers. On track in a hard turn they would slightly touch the back of the wheel center.

Can you produce those brackets? I'm very interested

@@jw14-z4l you no longer need brackets just a machine spacer is all. You eliminate the bracket entirely.

True that’s what’s on my black C5, but for the cost just around town driver on occasion and a track day it’s a great setup and 10x superior to the OEM fronts again at the fraction of the cost.

If it weren’t for the carbon fiber people don’t generally recognize it’s an aftermarket and it comes with good replacement lines “Gates Brand” that look oe.

@@JWsGarage it will be this one or the AFE...what doo you think??

@@scottbarker9058 I personally like both, they equally perform very well over OEM!

Thank you 🙏

Plenty of clearance for the heat extractor in the hood inch or more I would say. The air box utilizes the factory location taking benefit of the air channel inside the factory fender.

@@JWsGarage So, I have a 17 GS w/ Stage 1 Edelbrock SC (91 octane canned tune 5.5 psi), comes with green filter. Took it to a dyno and the first few pulls put down: Round 1: 474whp/525wtq. I was confused because Edelbrock advertises 520whp/500wtq on the 93 octane tune. So I was expecting anything above 490. I didn't see where air runs up to the fender so I decided to remove the enclosure to the air box and just run the filter against intake tube. Round 2: 500whp/500wtq. Got me thinking. 1. Would the car make those numbers in motion or am I better off running either a bigger airbox (Halltech/GM Upgrade) or open airbox (Air Raid/K&N)? 2. Or use the Halltech Ram Air kit to re route some air to the air box. (of course I would try to custom install some type of media to help keep out water/debris Thoughts?

Of you like reach out on Instagram and I’ll shooter you some pics of the K@N install if you like. I understand you’re struggles my SC C5 took a while to get just right in the end Ive had to custom build my own air filters for that car.

No problem at all, do nothing I kind of prefer the non serviceable myself and in todays parts crunch take what you can get of quality.

@@JWsGarage thanks, you've been very helpful. i appreciate the prompt replies too!!!!

Very welcome. If you get a chance send a pic of the car over on the IG page.

@@JWsGarage certainly. she's a 99, with 220k miles!! original suspension. installing Pfadt COs, SBs, ELs, etc. Has LG longtubes already. paint is in horrible shape, but i'm fine with that, she's given me 220k of pure fun in the sun

I love the pfadt suspension it’s a game changer.

You need a link for them? Not a problem check the video description I’ll throw a link in there for ya. Give me 10min.

What a legend

One of each for each wheel position on the car. The moog and precision part #’s are also the same ac Delco part numbers.

@@JWsGarage do you know the ac delco part # that you would need x 4 of. The ac delco part #'s are 19186956. or The smaller ones are $20-$30ea 19329420. Moog for front upper was K500134. I WOULD like to send those back, and get delcos. If that makes better sense, Thanks

First I would keep a moog over an ac delco I don’t often say that but when it comes to suspension. So you have 4 K6534’s On the car and also 4 K500134’s 4 are uppers and 4 are lowers. I don’t know the delco part # off hand.

@@JWsGarage I wrote them both. Thanks for the videos anyway. I got 4 ac delco and 2 front uppers that are greasable moog. Everyone who races 🏁 says ac delco are best ball joints. And greasing a moog is just another thing to worry about. I suspect I can mix and match, with just the front uppers being moog and the rest delco.

@@CorvetteTrev good deal! Spring is right around the corner get the corvette ready 👍 and glad to see a viewer tackling their own repairs.

Can’t say I’ve experienced that on either of my pro chargers units, but then I’ve seen some others that got pretty torn up due to shaft play.

@@JWsGarage the shaft doesn’t move up or down it’s more like in and out . The impeller is shifting in and out (telescopic)

@@Sclassmercedes think I’d give pro charger a call back and ask them for the end play tolerance what you are describing seems excessive, I’ve also had that on one of my pro charger head units, it ended up with the impeller hitting the case. At that time pro charger warrantied it, the replacement I received had a new tag with serial #. Time frame I’d say that was close to 10 years ago.

My guy is up by your place who did the filming of you’d like give him a try I’ll pass on his info.

@JW's Garage if he lives over here I'd like to at least meet him. Never a bad thing to have smart friends.😎

Aldan America 🇺🇸 is the mfr.

Not show but also not factory right in the middle I would say.

No sir it was the base coupe.

@@JWsGarage great job with it man 🤌🏽

Thank you 🙏

The ac compressor runs off it’s one belt it rides on the inner crank pulley while the main serpentine sits in front of it. Therefor no you do not need to release the ac tensioner or remove the belt. Was I able to answer you’re question?

@@JWsGarage I’m m sure it has to be done to replace the idler and tensioner on the ac compressor

Understood but now we are talking about two different stand alone systems. If we are talking about the gates belt tensioner on the blower belt then the answer would also be no. The A&A SC system has a manually adjusted tensioner pulley you loosen to remove the belt and then the blower.

@@JWsGarage oh ok I see but a and a claim they never sold a procharger unit in their kit but are using vortech . Are you talking about the procharger or vortech unit . I’m assuming they use the same bracket ?

@@JWsGarage I don’t think mine has the gate adjuster but let me check I need to replace some squeaky pulleys that I can pinpoint where it’s coming from .

1000x better with LED esp the past couple years.

I have heard of that before and in my experience ( I had the Auxito high and low beams on my C5 ) before I made the change to the corvette innovations. I was very happy with them myself.

You ain’t kidding lol 🤣

Used these exact lights in my corvette before the lighting full swap. Hands down best and most cost effective update available. Happy holidays Sir

Absolutely 👍

I’m pretty excited about the FRC myself. Was going to be a basic repaint, now we’re doing a full build. Paint, wheels, tires, suspension, and possibly a supercharger.

@@JWsGarage you know I'll be looking forward to the content.😎

What a great video . Thanks for sharing 🎉🎉🎉

Yes I did.

He sure did and thank you 🙏.

Love me the clank community!! Thank you 🙏

Thank you 🙏
