I gave up on the 5 lug conversion. The front went pretty well until it came time to retaper the tie rod end hole on the hub. I have a tie rod end reamer here at work that I used. I had my doubts that it would work and those doubts were confirmed after I started reaming it. The reamer was not able to penetrate all the way down the hole without making the hole too big for the tie rod end. I wasn't about to only ream halfway down the hole and leave half the shank unsupported. Last night though, I started fiddling with the rear brakes after reading around that others have redrilled the rear hubs. I had to see for myself so I tore apart one side of both the Colt and the Talon. The face of the hub just doesn't have enough meat to redrill them safely so I just put the car back to 4 lug. Like others have mentioned the Talon hub is too large to work on the Colt. I drove it to work this morning and did a few logs in Link. It is running a bit lean (high 11's low 12's) around 5K rpm so it is pulling timing. In spite of this the car feels strong. I will spend some time fine tuning over the next week and I then get it on the dyno. |

I made a little pit stop by my buddy's shop on Friday as they prepared a couple 900+ HP Challengers to run the Mojave Mile. The owner of one of the Challengers also has a C6 Z06 so after a little taunting from the guys in the shop we went out and made a couple runs. I have been overly curious as to how my car would fair against a car known to trap 120+ in the 1/4. I gotta say that I was a little disappointed in the outcome. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mshzxR44LeE |

Z06 stock? Either way that's not bad man, not bad at all. I bet our cars would be just about the same, would be a good race |

Yeah, the Z was completely stock, all the way down to the run flats. I've been looking through the log and there is definitely some room for improvement. |

Nice work here I can't wait to see how you manage to get the 2g rear awd setup in the colt. |

Looks like he hasn't been on here much since his last update. Wonder if he made anymore progress. |
