@@hnel_on_track Do you have any other social media accounts outside of UA-cam? Wouldn’t mind asking you a few questions as I picked up a stock 2002 Z06 recently.
Phenomenal work on the rebuild! I've got a convertible C5 and to continue doing track days i'll need a roll bar at minimum and eventually a cage. I noticed when you cut the B pillar off of your coupe, all the photos looked like a convertible with the top down even when the cage went on. It's actually crazy just how similar both chassis seem to be, and part of me wonders if with some studying and measuring a similar cage setup could be built on a soft top. There's an available roll bar setup but i've had more than one fellow enthusiast tell me it can be built from scratch for cheaper, and the work you've done here definitely leaves me wondering if there are other options.
Thanks! I assume the vert rear tub would be different from the FRC and Coupe. You could certainly get a cage going just like I did, as you mentioned... it basically looks just like a vert with the roof off. Would you try to get some type of hardtop to go over the cage?
The crash damaged the titanium exhaust too. One of the few cars in the world with it from the factory. '04 C5 base owner here. But I think the titanium exhaust on the Z06 is special and people say it sounds good, not too loud and light weight of course.
Yeah, that was a bummer for sure. If the crash hadn't happened I was planning on keeping the stock exhaust and would have added TrackSpec pass through pipes to get a bit extra sound out of the system.
Couple things.. I was there for trackdaze Nov 2nd and 3rd. Several cars went into the same wall.. both in the morning when it was cold. Chopped matt is for bulk but not nearly as strong as the biaxial, or woven matt..
That section has a whole bunch of skid marks on track, catches a lot of folks out. I know better and should have given those slicks a number of laps to heat up before getting on curbing. On the glass, there are a number of spots I could and should have used a woven mat. The big flat section left of center would have been perfect for that material. There were a lot of spots with serious contouring and I am not sure a woven mat would have worked. I'll keep monitoring but so far all is holding up.
Nice work. Quite an undertaking. Look forward to seeing the ABS mod

Heya ! would it be possible to have more info on the abs conversion kit ? rly looking forward to put that into my track c5 !
Did you ever get this out to an event after the rebuild?
Yep! Still dialing a few things in with the car in prep for time trial competition.
