    Could you share the wheel sizes and backspacing? Looks great on the car!!

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      At the very end of the radiator episode my son gives the wheel sizes. I think they’re wider than stock. I can’t remember what they are, and I think the backspacing is the same as stock. I’ll have to check with him, but he’s in Europe right now and there’s a time change. I’ll have to wait till tomorrow.

    Hello John ,Great Video once Again ! Do using Bilstein shocks on my C-3 corvette will it change the Height of Corvette ?? Please let me know ? Thanks Again

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No, it won’t change the ride height, as long as you make sure you get the proper shocks for your application.

    I just bought a 2007 base model a few months ago. I really like the fitment of your wheels and tires. What are their sizes?

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Not sure off hand, but they’re 18” Element SC rims. I just googled the stock tire size for them and got the same size.

  • @jwb4bb
    @jwb4bb ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Looks like you may have an issue with your rear brake pads, they shouldn't leave a ring around the rear rotor like that. Could they be too small?

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  ปีที่แล้ว

      The car was abused and poorly taken care of. We’re on it.

    Did you have any interference issue with the Dewitt's radiator? The one I bought for my 2005 Z51 was 3/8 inch wider and just would not fit without interference.

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Nope. Fit perfect and had all the proper mounts for the fan and condenser.

    Do you think 24k is a good deal for a 2008 z51 with 56 thousand miles. It’s in excellent shape and 2 owners

    • @C3Mods
      @C3Mods  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If it’s really in that good of shape, probably. I would pay any more than that. My son’s car was a mess and we spent thousands on it and he paid $20k. But he HAD to have that color! I don’t think they’re gonna get any cheaper for a while.

    Hi, I'm on the fence between C6 and C7. You have driven both back to back. What is your opinion on both.

      @@itsmebryan I like the lines on the 2014 C7, but it’s an automatic. The 2007 C6 is a 6 speed manual and much more fun to drive. In addition, the C7 is a premier edition, Lime Rock Green, with only 8k miles.

      @Jaygastelum-qv1ek I going to get a manual. I plan on using it for a fun weekend getaway car. Not tracking or anything like that. Just for the wife and I. I'm replacing a 2008 Solstce GXP manual and Im looking for a reliable 2 seater.
      Are the seats really that much better in the C7 compared to the C6?

      I forgot to mention, my C7 is a Z51 with mag ride suspension, fully loaded at 460hp. Only 550 made, mine is #32 off the production run.

      @@raylewis3073 Yeah, be sure to check your rear tire clearance. These cars aren’t perfect. He had one tire 1/2” closer to the wheel opening than the other side. There’s no adjustability with the transaxle bolts loose either. We tried it.

    I have a 2008 Z51 Corvette. It has 26,000 mi;es. The light for "check fuel system" came on and the gas gauge reads empty.The delear said that it will cost about $1900 to repair since they have to remove te gas tank o do so. What a rip off..I will never ever buy another GM Vehicle !
