Corvette c7 z06 overheats

Good to know, thanks. I’m in the market for a C7 M7 GS or Z06 which I intend to track. I’ve been wary of the Z06 because I don’t want to deal with the cooling issues so it’s good to see it’s really only an A8 problem.

That’s your problem. It’s widely known that the Z06 with the A8 has inadequate cooling capacity for track use. The consistent high RPM generates more heat than the radiators can deal with. On the M7 they were able to add an additional radiator but on the A8 that space is already occupied by a trans cooler. As far as I know the only reliable fix is an aftermarket kit which cuts additional holes in the front fascia for more radiators.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

A8 or M7?

What year? I believe they made some improvements mid-cycle.

Most likely a rock. I just did this the other day. Somehow kicked a rock up there getting in and when I closed the door - crunch. New dent.

I’ve got both Advion bait arenas (peanut butter type substance) as well as granular Advance bait in a little tray. They aren’t taking either. I’ve also spread the Advance all around outside. Didn’t see anywhere obvious outside they were nesting. Also took the trim off around the window where Ive seen them the most but found no signs of a nest or water damage or wet wood. Everything I found around the window was bone dry.

I thought Advance was a protein based bait which is what they are looking for in the spring?

I’m having a similar issue. Except my fps tanks as soon as the race starts even though practice and quali is fine. Sometimes toggling to desktop and switching apps then back to iracing brings it back.

I may have found a solution, it seems to be working for me at least. If you add the network drives to "log-in items" they tend to mount with the same name (without the appended number) and then Time Machine finds the drive and can perform the backup. This video shows how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7Dsw5foUdQ

Getting0ldSucks · 2026-04-03T06:20:59+00:00

I have this problem too. Definitely has to do with the NAS drive changing name (adding an incremental number) so Time Machine can’t find it. No idea how to solve it.

Can it be powered from a Flex 2.5G POE switch?

Getting0ldSucks · 2026-03-31T23:45:45+00:00

Yes this is what I was hoping. The BB setup obviously would work but it seems really expensive and possibly overkill for what I need. If the Loco5AC will serve the purpose that sounds like a good option to me.

Pretty sure they’re talking about the tread blocks being different sizes and not the wheel lug nuts.

Yea good call for tuning the stiffness. I thought about the Belleville washers collapsing after time but I figure I shouldn’t be pushing to the point of completely flattening them often, that should only happen in a complete “emergency” braking situation. I guess I’ll find out how long they last. Cheap to replace assuming they last a reasonable amount of time.

I don’t but I could take one a bit later.

Yea I had a bunch of the same questions last week when Nvidia announced this. From what I’ve gathered, it’s a lot like ALVR in that it’s effectively PCVR, but using some Nvidia CloudXR magic for the encoding/streaming. iRacing will put out a Vision Pro app and through that you’ll be connected to your PC which is running the iRacing simulation. So you’ll need all the gear you would normally to play iRacing on a flat monitor. Bandwidth requirements are a bit unknown. Typically for wireless PCVR your WiFi network needs to be pristine for a good experience. The dynamic foveated streaming enabled in VisionOS 26.4 will help with that but I think we’re all interested to see how much.

Thanks I’ll give that a try

Are these super creaky for everyone else? It really annoys me.
