The Z06 is Back :)

Picked up the beast last night

It now does what it says on the tin!

It will need a little tweeking here and there, but it now has all the fuel it needs and it doesn't stall. It is feckin' fast, not sure how fast as one of the things I need to get sorted is getting the dash working. It doesn't work as a result of the conversion to a Motec ECU, as the GM ECU sends a digital stream to the dash rather than the dash talking direct to each of the sensors. So at the moment I have no Oil Pressure, Water Temp, Speedo and the biggest p.i.t.a. is NO Fuel Gauge. I have Revs, Battery, Fuel Pressure and most importantly Boost Gauges Car runs up to about 8lbs of boost at the moment, althought to be honest constantly checking the boost gauge is the last thing you have time for when the car is on boost

The hi-rise bonnet is fitted which looks good so I won't be buying any more bits for the car for a while as my priority now is to get my new house sorted.

The car will be on display at the NEC for the 22-24th of October at the Classic and Sportscar Show on the CCCUK stand. Hope to see lots of you there!

great, stick my name on the list for a full boost passenger run next time we meet

Not sure the car park of the NEC is big enough!!!

I have already been in contact with them and in fact they are moving to Tewkesbury in the next couple of months which is even nearer!

Not a great quality pic as it was done with my camera phone. Shows the new front spoiler and high rise bonnet.
