I Bought a TRASHED C6 Corvette Just For Carlisle & FAILED Terribly...

  • With the C6 ZR1 missing a few key pieces (like the engine…) I went on the hunt for another Corvette to take to Corvettes at Carlisle!
    I ended up buying a wrecked C6 Grandsport, hoping I could get it remotely driveable and well, it didn’t go as planned!
    Fortunately, I had a backup plan, but it’s far from ideal…

      Must need a driver mod. My C4 kart was great offroad. It went up sand dunes I've seen dozens of 4x4's not make, because they also needed a driver mod.

    • @charleselliott8837
      @charleselliott8837 Рік тому

      Clean out the glass and do the indexing procedure with just the regulator.
      All your doing is resetting the upper limit of the windows as when the battery dies it loses the index so the top won’t function since it doesn’t know where the windows are.

    Sadly soon all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-(
    In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. Now they want to slow down all the gas station pumps from 20 litre per minute to 2 litre per minute...From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke crime (Bundesabgasbespassungsverbotsverordnung).
