Yeah he heard the clicking again while we were tuning. Might see if they can rebalance that one wheel and put the weights somewhere else. Are the weights on the other rear wheel not hitting?

Also, good job on the Z06 kill lol.

The other wheel is good, I just have to grind the caliper a little bit. Im going to put the stock rims back on. I don't im going to the track any time soon the way the car is running.
Also need to get some shocks ASAP.

Also thinking about dropping the diff and install some poly bushings.

Received some Aerocatch hood latches yesterday and got to work. Very easy install takes about 3 hours. Dremel tool and a drill.

Find mounting location

Cut the hood with dremel tool

Test fit, mark latch bolt hole.

Bolt the sucker in and you are done.

Looks great man, I want some of those when I pick up an aftermarket hood. You are a brave turtle cutting your hood yourself man lol I couldn't do it.

Just do it, lol. Is pretty easy to maneuver around with the dremel tool as the aluminum is pretty soft.

Haha I don't know man that's nerve racking! I can port irons but not a hood lol. Besides, I want a fiberglass or carbon fiber hood, so it will cut a little differently than aluminum, I'm worried it will splinter.

Yeah that's pretty brave lol. I'm nervous cutting my hood and it's not even stock. I don't think I could cut a stock hood lol.

How do you find where to put the hole to begin with? Install the posts and then slam the hood down on them? LOL

Yeap just like that Eric lol. I used holymar, put some on the post and lower the hood until it touches and there you have it.
