    Dan's Build

    Congrats Dan, bet you're stoked! Interested to hear about how it goes with learning tuning, think you've inspired me to get the cable and tinker a little in the future.

    Thanks! Never been this excited or nervous about a job, but also the opportunity I've always wanted to further my career.

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    That's exactly the spot I was eyeballing when I realized the rear view mirror location may not work. I haven't tested the location out yet, but stuff not being centered bugs me for some reason so not sure if I could do it. Originally I wanted to put it on the center of the dash via suction...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Life update, turned in my notice at work and going to work with a couple of electrical engineers who own a small engineering firm locally. I've worked with both in the past, so looking forward to this new adventure. I'm a senior instrument/electrical designer and while I'll still be doing some...

    So disappointed

    The funky situation on why this thread was started to begin with.

    So disappointed

    Pretty funny to read comments about all the stuff he never finishes, lots of viewers aren't happy, lol.... now adds this one to that list. If he truly wanted it to happen, he could have had it happen by ordering a new kit from the start. Or order it now for SEMA 2021, he just didn't get...

    So disappointed

    Wonder if this is a case of karma? Comments are a fun to read, I think RCR made the right decision.

    Kurt H (hoffkm) SL-C build thread

    Ceramic coat the exhaust before final install, looks nice and should help with engine bay heat. :)

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Thanks, glad to help out! Skinning skinning the C6 covers in carbon has crossed my mind as well. Also considered body color covers and skinning the intake cover (had no clue these are only covers) or I believe they make them in real carbon as well.

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Signals are all rewired and loomed. Just need to attach the other side. Got my C6 fuel rail covers installed, kind of surprised they fit without issues with the intake flipped around. Only thing I had to do was use shorter stand-offs for the coolant reservoir to make room. Does make it...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    I agree with you on that. Also with the big angle of the top corner of window (by windshield) would probably look funny being body color. If it was a straight 2" border around window, it could be okay in body color, but black is definitely the safer way. Windows are all done, will be back in...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Got a picture from the vinyl place of one tinted window with 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl frit applied to outside of the door. If I had to do it all over again, I'd gotten the vinyl applied to the window prior to the tint. BUT it will serve it's purpose and allow me to seal the windows to the...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    I used high temp low gloss black engine paint, scuffed up with a red pad. I can't recall what brand paint I used, just what I had on hand

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Edited pictures for comparison, wheels color in these is a more accurate representation of how they look in person. Still have few things I need to take care of before I pull it out int he sun. adjust & tighten splitter rods (used all new black SS hardware) tint & install center caps (may draw...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Super chrome with a gloss clear which mutes it down a good bit. Discovered it's very hard to get an accurate picture of it to show how it looks in person, camera just doesn't pick up the reflectiveness for some reason. I can't lie, I do miss the bigger contrast the bright silver wheels had on...

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    While piddling around in the shop, it's funny how you get sidetracked to do stuff you didn't plan to do while out there. Painting the rotor hats was one of those things and unsure why I didn't do this when I originally painted calipers white. I probably didn't need need to paint the face of...

    I admire you for tackling this. And sharing pics to boot!

    Del's Build: SLC IR/8

    Everything dropped off yesterday. Learned powdercoat place is closed wed thru rest of the week so won't be ready until next week sometime, hopefully. Figuring out a wheel color is harder than expected when you think silver is too much contrast and don't want black. I picked the most...
