Thanks...I had a look at these...did you put any rubber or soft material on the hangers where front fasteners rest?

I thought of that too, but the Mrs is a little faster on the uptake and 'read my mind'...you know now they are!!

I bought a 2009 Coupe last summer and have both roof panels for it. I was wondering what type of garage storage systems others use so as to free up the cargo area, but more importantly, keep the roof panels off the garage floor and protect them from 'errant kids and/or objects'. I have seen one...

Recently I have encountered a problem with the operation of the lock up on the torque converter; it seems to work fine up to 60-70 kph and as soon as you ease up on the accelerator, it unlocks and stays that way until the vehicle stops. The problem is intermittent as well. It all seems to work...

These were recommended to me for my 81....these are Magnaflow, described as Catalytic Converter, Metallic-Cat, 59950, Universal, 2.50 in. Inlet/Outlet, Each 133.99 Cdn dollars...here is a link to the picture....I opted out of this solution for the time being, running just the pipes and...

PS: I note there are a lot of readers in this forum, but can I suggest that you post your question into the L81 Registry forum as well.....I know you will get some ideas from there, in the event the L81ers miss the opportunity here.....just a suggestion and perhaps the Admin can move it over...

As to options, I am certainly no expert, but I guess it depends on what you want to do with the car. Many L81 owners, as particpants in this forum and the L81 Registry, have replaced the OEM with aftermarket headers, so I believe there are a variety to choose from. Some of the aftermarker I...

Not a stupid question; they are very hard to find if you are looking for OEM style. I bought mine from McJacks....not new, but rebuilt, re-welded and ceramic coated....here is a link with a photo. I hope the link works: http://www.vetteheaders.com/servlet/Detail?no=7 I live in Ottawa and had...

Sounds pretty good Gerry; I note that you have retained the emission equipment and I was wondering what you did for exhaust system. True duals? Cats or chambered? I have replaced/rebuilt all of my emissions components and still have the E4ME and ECM, but want to do something with the exhaust...

AIR HOSE Thanks for your help on this.....another example of the registry helping out....regards...............dbj

AIR HOSE To AllThumbs: Any chance you can send me the name of the dealer (and their co-ordinates) that supplied that hose....I cannot find one of those hoses anywhere, so if he has one in stock, I need to give him a call....thanks....dbj

We have a member in the local club with an 80 convertible; big block and four speed; the history on it says that it was built for a GM executive. They are very nicely put together, hard to believe not a factory job. It gets a lot of attention at the car shows and cruises.....dbj

REGISTRY STUFF Glad to hear you are back in business Bud, but I hope you do what you can to minimize the risk to your 'home operation'; the suggestion about $'s up front for the merchandise and a bill later for shipping and handling is a good one and I am sure that the majority of members will...

BOWTIE ON A VETTE It may have been the book All Corvettes are Red, but I do remember reading a quote that says "there is a little Corvette in every Chevrolet"; it would seem that the "suits' at GM have forgotten this little bit of trivia. I don't have a new one, but I surely would not want to...

Looks like the diverter valve; the only one I could find with a quick look was at Zip for a 76; not sure how close it is to the 81, they seem to use the same engine picture for everything....but here is the link...
