New radiator

Just put a new two row radiator in my C6. Man it got tight quick between the rad and high volume water pump no room left for anything. Just enough clearance for everything to fit.
The only issues I ran into were the trans line fittings leaking,a little gray mega thread tape took care of that.
Test drive went flawlessly going to keep an eye on it for a few trips to make sure no I have no surprises. So far so good.
Looking forward to warm weather to see if cooling improves will keep everyone posted.

I just emailed them and sent pictures of the damage. They sent me a replacement. I’m thinking bad reviews on the internet changed their minds. But I’d heard they were hard to deal with.
Repeat post sorry.

Not quite as bad as CorvetteMods though.
Well that’s nice to know. We should make a list of all the bad to deal with on line suppliers.
Got the car out Tuesday night. Tried out the HID high beam upgrade. They light up the road like daylight man what a difference. Cornering is so much easier when you can see clearly. The light reaches down the road for a good 1/4 mile if not further. Super happy with them. I’m sure on coming traffic doesn’t appreciate it. Making sure to dim them as soon as I see traffic.
Well took the car in to have a repaired wheel changed out. Also to have the alignment checked and the steering wheel centered.
Well the tech didn’t put the auxiliary ramps down and broke a chunk out of my new splitter putting the car on the rack. When all said and done they ordered my a new one. This will make three splitters that’s been on the front of that car. Kinda sucks because I though I was finished working on the car for the year.
I did let them off the hook for installation. Told them to call me when the replacement came in and I would put it on. I’m really don’t trust them to install it after what happened in the first place.
List of up grades so far. Catch can, auxiliary trans cooler, evans waterless coolant, high volume water pump, two row aluminum radiator, ATI super damper, insulated exhaust from the cat flange to the rear of the car, insulated torque tube plate, alpine head unit, peddle commander, flat bottom steering wheel, ZR1 aero kit, Z51 brake kit, new HID low beams 6000K, HID high beam 6000K upgrade, driving lights wired on when car is on. So down the rabbit hole I go. Have yet to reach the bottom. I’ll be sure to say hi to Alice when I do.
I want the pill that makes you small.
