Ep 6. Continental Tire Corvette
- May 25, 2014
In season 2 episode 6 of West Coast Customs, the team takes on a special project for the Continental Tire company. Their task is to transform a 2015 Corvette Stingray into a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, showcasing the capabilities of Continental Tires.
The episode begins with Ryan and the team meeting with Continental representatives to discuss their vision for the project. They want the car to be a tribute to the brand and to demonstrate the performance of their tires. Ryan immediately gets to work, creating a design that incorporates Continental's iconic logo and colors.
The first step is to strip the car down to its bare bones. The team removes the engine, transmission, and suspension, leaving only the shell. They then set to work customizing the body, adding a wide body kit and numerous other modifications to give it a unique and aggressive look.
One of the key challenges of this project is getting the car to sit low to the ground while still accommodating the large, performance tires from Continental. The team solves this problem by using an airbag suspension system, which allows them to raise and lower the car at will.
Once the body is complete, the team turns their attention to the engine. They install a new supercharger, new heads, and other high-performance parts to boost the car's horsepower to over 700. They also add a custom exhaust system that gives the car a deep, throaty roar.
With the engine and body complete, the team moves on to the interior. They install a host of new features, including a custom sound system, a navigation system, and a heads-up display. They also add a new steering wheel and racing seats to complete the performance look.
Throughout the episode, there are numerous challenges and setbacks, from mechanical issues to problems with the leather upholstery. However, the team perseveres and manages to complete the car in time for the big reveal.
At the end of the episode, the Continental Tire Corvette is unveiled to an enthusiastic crowd. Its sleek, aggressive design and impressive performance capabilities are on full display, showcasing both the creativity of the West Coast Customs team and the quality of Continental Tires.
