My name is Ben Alonso, and I'm a UC Davis student living in Northern California. I am an avid car enthusiast and I enjoy all aspects of the gear-head life. This channel is for documenting my personal vehicles -- their transformations over the next few years -- and sharing other car related content.
I Bought a Daily with a Half Million Miles! AND YOU SHOULD TOO!
Introducing my latest purchase, and it just so happens to have 504,000 miles on it! This car is amazing both inside and out, and provides the perfect balance with the C5 Corvette. Would you buy a car with this many miles? Let me know in the comments below!

I Bet Your C5 is Missing This Important Piece!
Переглядів 1,2 тис.2 роки тому
Today we install a license plate bezel that really completes the back end look of the Vette. So many of the C5's I've seen both in person and online are missing this. Perhaps over the last 20 years people got tired of taking the trim on and off to remove their license plates? Whatever the case is, there's no arguing that this is such a good way to tie everything together, and for very little mo...

Took out the new toy (DJI FPV) out, to see what it can do. I can't wait to put this drone to good use in my upcoming automotive content. This was filmed at a cute little Inn in San Simeon. They have a beautiful spot sandwiched between stunning ocean views and rolling hills. Ragged Point Inn I get all my music and sound effects from Artlist.io.
So...You want to drive a 20 year old Corvette fast??? (3D SOUND, Post Header Drive)
Переглядів 5 тис.2 роки тому
After installing Texas Speed's long tube headers and catless x-pipe, I wanted to take this thing out to the canyons to see how it would perform on a significantly more aggressive drive. This car really holds its own out there, it impresses me every time I drive it. This video was recorded in Ultra HD (4k) and with binaural microphones, so use headphones for the most accurate and highest quality...

Performed by a professional driver, on a closed course ;) Recently installed Texas Speed's Long tube headers, and catless x-pipe kit for the c5 corvette. The completed install video is coming soon, but here's a preview of what the car sounds like now from the inside. The drone is almost nonexistent below 2k rpm, but once you open it up especially after 3500 it sounds bonkers. I'll get a tune ev...

2003, 6-speed coupe. Only modifications are the Corsa Sport axle back, and K&N intake. Stock H-Pipe, stock exhaust manifolds.

Video taken February 16th, 2022, which is the day I bought it. Had to drive from Davis to Scotia (small town way up in the coastal mountains), didn't get back home until about 3 am. Tough drive, but well worth it. This is where the journey begins. Only Modifications as of video: Corsa Cat Back K&N Cold Air Intake
Oil temp is high
Did you have Drone before you installed the xpipe and headers? We have a C6 with Corsa axle back and the rest is stock. it has terrible drone at highway speeds.
nice video, sounds good but i prefer the „boaty“ H-pipe. what are your seats?🤔
i fell in love approximately 9.32874 times and busted 4 nuts while watching this video
I'm between a C5 or a Jaguar XKR man, I just know the Vette is cheaper and better driver focused car. Way cheaper yo maintain too... is a clear winner BUT the XKR is such a gorgeous car :(
Are they 1 3/4 or 1 7/8 headers
On a scale from fairly quiet to fuck you loud how loud is this system, I really like the tone of the corsa sport exhaust but I also really like my cars to be loud. Just want to get an idea haha
With the sport mufflers it wasn’t too crazy, definitely loud on cold start and hard acceleration but idling at a stop light there are louder stock cars out there.
Ship your PCM out for a tune! 100 bucks for 20 HP. Im mid install now in my Z06 with LG superpro's and its such a PITA... Also doing lots of other stuff so im in no rush. Great video!
Which corsa axle back do you have? Sounds great
I believe it’s the sport based on the size of the mufflers, but the exhaust was installed by a previous owner.
Cam swap will complete the exhaust sound
You deleted all of the cats? Did you get a tune? The check engine light will be on forever.
7-8 mm spacer will fill the rear fenders….. don’t go more than 8mm or the tire will rub the fender even with the stock 285s in back
Those wheels are way better 👍🏻
Sounds great, but now how are ya gonna pass Cali smog with that check engine light on?
Nice ride, bro , I have similar set up on my vette too , no drone ether....hey a nice background music, that's my kinda play list
Did u hookup all 4 O2 sensors or did u just hook up the two on the manifolds. Also what did u do with air pump
Sweet sound. Nice ride. Thank you for posting this Mr. Gorgeous car!!!
check engine light is on! ha. drives me crazy!
TY-VM, WELL DONE
Beautiful car and done well with exh upgrade 👌 sounds awesome
Drop it down you will be surprised how much better it will look
Super nice. Great work 👍
we got the exact same setup love how mine sounds too
Need to remove the positive lead. Otherwise the whole electrical system is looking for a ground, and zap! The car sounds terrific!
Check engine light on and oil pressure sensor bad ?
Oil pan looks a little damp or is that just me
Yes, from a power steering leak that I have since fixed. Good eye!
What is wrong with your exhaust tips? The driver’s side sticks out more than the passenger side.
I saw that too
Crooked looks terrible..
Nice. I’m using the same exhaust basically on my 09, and also mostly enjoy my car in the mountains (just on the other end in the Tennessee/North Carolina Appalachian mountains). I’d like to see a video overview of the car, I dig the seats and would like to know more about them, like quality and fitment.
Get a cam no heads, and you will have a hellcat eater!
Send link to buy
On the more serious side. You should have used new fasteners with a locking device on the new headers. The stock bolts will start backing out quickly and you will have exhaust leaks. Do not use spacers on the rear wheels, you are asking for trouble. I know it is expensive, but buy new rear wheels that are wider to get the look you want. And lastly, your transmission seems to be short shifting (or you don't have your foot to the floor) You might want to look into getting your shift points changed. AND yes, sounds great and a very good upgrade, congrats!
Funny, American racing suggestion is to use old bolts.
@@deeznutzz101 They are probably afraid someone will buy the wrong bolts and either strip the bolt holes or crack the head.
If you are going to play background music, two suggestions: #1 Don't #2 Don't play sh**ty music.
Fuel gauge dropped real quick lol
I found that piece in the trunk of the Z06 I just bought along with another holder for the front that I can't figure out.
Please tell me you got it tuned 😅.. nice car !!
Man I'm glad you wore your gloves, I don't think you would have been able to handle it without em!!
Very similar cars to what I own at the moment. I have a 1 previous owner california owned 2002 red C5 corvette with a manual and 24k miles, and a 1 previous owner california owned 2006 Lexus LS 430 with 104k miles. Neither one were very cheap because I bought them both within the last 6 months but I love them, vette for fun and to modify, and the lexus to keep stock and quite and ride in comfort.
What's the tire sizes and wheels?
check engine light on!!!
Hey I love the car and the setup! The HUD surround on the dash was cracked in the same place on my C5 😅I might need to try that binaural mic setup. Any problems with wind noise if you do windows down?
Dude legitimately put on driving gloves to drive 70mph😂😂😂
It’s his life, let him do what he wants. It isn’t hurting.
That sound tho
Now that you've imstalled the LTs you shouldnt wait too long to get it tuned. You're likely running lean at low throttle and pig rich at WOT. The tune will dial in your AFR and net full HP potential. The tune will help your upstream O2s from failing. The aftermarket wheels look cool but you were better off with the OEMs or the C6 OEMs and a spacer. Aftermarket wheels are heavier. Bad for steering response and slow the car down due to more mass to move. Good luck with the build and have fun!
Good looking Vette! I've got an 04 in the Reno area myself. I'll be doing Texas Speed heads/cam/longtubes someday, but for now I'm just working on some smaller stuff to compliment the "stockness".
You jacked up the car at the oil pan?!
Did you do a dyno tune afterwards?I'm getting long tube headers on next week already have borla exhaust and cold air intake then week after I'm getting dyno tuned
still had mine.. my 2000 mil. yel. just hit 40k 😁
Your channel is so underrated for such great content
