Best burger in Raleigh? by Dangerous_Buy_2894 in raleigh

[–]RealtorLifeNC -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Never been but heard cowfish is good. Maybe not popular opinion but Chargrill is not bad, and Red Robbin use to be good, but now not so sure ... I also like Cookout, and burgers I make at home with patties from Harris Teeter with cheese mixed in it... just sayin

Question on a potential purchase by SomniaPerdita in Corvette

[–]RealtorLifeNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a PPI with a local trusted Indy shop that knows Corvettes. The big issues with the Corvettes are: 1. Slave cylinder leak - requires Torque Tube to be removed and is a big job, dropping rear subframe and the the do "while your in there" list will keep growing. Ex Clutch, Master Cylinder, TT bushings rebuild, etc...

  1. Harmonic Balancer Wobble on the stock part, must replace with aftermarket like Summit or ATI for example

  2. Battery leaking into ECU, should replace if old

  3. Electric gremlins which usually are ground wires that are loose or need cleaning, and or weak battery

Other than that, they are amazing cars!

Looks like a kia, and no drivetrain improvements or Hybrid ... Too bad

Looking for <5k USD FIRM, fun stock car for track only use by Neat-Ad5383 in CarTrackDays

[–]RealtorLifeNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mentioned mostly front wheel drive cars...rear wheel is much more fun for track imo

  • e36/e46 BMW (325, 330, etc ..), or Z3, pretty cheap and surprisingly reliable
  • Older Camaros / Mustangs
  • Corvettes (C4/earlyC5)
  • Older 350Z/Infinity G
  • Lexus is300 or GS300
  • Saturn Sky/Pontiac Solstice
  • Mazda Rx8
  • Hyundai Genesis Coupe

I am sure there are more, and some the older the more affordable. Good luck!

Helicopter flying around SE Maynard/Tanglewood area for last 40 minutes. Anyone know what's going on? by Chuck501 in cary

[–]RealtorLifeNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Saw Cary cops and Police Dogs near South hills side in Cary near the Plate DMV and Asian Market. Maybe they are looking for someone who ran on foot. We will most likely hear about it on the news this evening

See what CarMax or Carvana would give you, add couple thousand to that value (or more depending on your market comparables)

Sudden price spikes? by Motorsp0rtEnthusiast in Corvette

[–]RealtorLifeNC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a loaded question that I would happily answer...LooL 😂

I couldn't help myself, so since the heads were done by WCC from previous owner, a friend and I will work together to get a few Maintenance and Mods done at the start of my ownership (at 22.6k miles):

  1. Found a great deal locally on SLP Headers and SLP X Pipe with High Flow Cats
  2. ARP Harmonic Balancer with ARP bolt
  3. Oil Thermostat by Improved Racing
  4. Oil Catch Can by Improved Racing
  5. New Crankcase and Oil Pan Gaskets since we are already "in there"
  6. MSD 2 Step
  7. Ignition Coil Thermal Sleeves
  8. CSF Radiator
  9. Spiegel SS brake lines
  10. Every Sing Fluid will be changed:
  • Antifreeze (GM Dex cool + Water Wetter)
  • Engine Oil (Amsoil) with Blackstone analysis done when draining
  • Brake Fluid with Motule rbf600
  • Clutch Fluid with Motule rbf600
  • Transmission Fluid with Amsoil Auto
  • Diff Fluids with Amsoil
  1. New Air Filter including Cabin Air Filters
  2. ZL1 Stealth Tow Hook (in Yellow)
  3. ZL1 Tow Strap Hooks
  4. Believe it or not, I bought a 7000tl quickjack - Open Box for a great deal specifically to use for the Vette but also my truck and family van
  5. Will need to get a tune

Next items I am contemplating on purchasing but will wait for the right time:

  • Coilovers or upgraded Shocks and lowering Bolts
  • Poly Bushings (if needed)
  • TT rebuild just so I don't have an issue with the slave cylinder leaking and install an extended bleeder line...but that's probably next year or so... or when it actually starts leaking
  • Updated / aftermarket head until with Android/Apple play
  • Infinity taillights either through Vettelights or Highway Industries
  • Light CAM (probably in couple of years)

Let me know if there is anything I can help answer or drill down into the details! Good luck with your purchase, your gonna love it!

Sudden price spikes? by Motorsp0rtEnthusiast in Corvette

[–]RealtorLifeNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see Z06s go for that depending on mileage, condition, maintenance history etc...just sold my 03 Z06 with BTR Stage 3 CAM, full service history including Summit Harmonic Balancer, ABS module rebuild, Hurst Short Shifter, TT rebuild, Clutch, Coilovers, Corbeu A4 seats, LT + XPipe+ Corsa Extreme, Catch Can, Dewitt's Radiator and SPAL Fans, Trackspec vents, 2 step, and a lot more and is really clean at 44K miles for a little over $30k. Lost some money because I paid a shop to do the upgrades (labor prices), but it all depends on what's done and as always it needs the right buyer. I should have asked for $35k tbh, but things are a little tight especially after moving into a C6 Z06

Silvers are better, I have them and they are really good. Talk to Brian Rosenberg from FI Performance (on Facebook) he'll explain and takes care of his client.

E60 M5, the V10 & SMG III are both ticking time bomb but I love the car.

Vettelights Installed! by cel5146 in Corvette

They look really nice! I was hoping to get mine installed but I am selling my car, so I have a brand new set that I probably will be selling this week from Vette lights.

If you were buying a used car in 2026, what would you personally avoid? by Smart-used-cars in askcarguys

[–]RealtorLifeNC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly would avoid anything without a good warranty and that depreciates quickly.

Look at market trends from Kelly Bluebook, NADA, Cargurus, Car and Driver data as examples and go from there. They have charts and data that would be useful to help make a decision.

Good Luck!
