Some of this stuff I'll end up buying new/ebay, I guess, but I should try here first I figure. Please PM or reply to thread. Washer Fluid Bottle: 84-91 is the year range, I think. Will pay a bit more if seller wants to ship with working pump integrated. Hood Release Trim: 84-89, will take...

The general consensus is that if you want to spend a lot of time above 5000rpm, you will be happier with a SuperRam, StealthRam(requires mods), or MiniRam. Only thing is that to get the most out of these, heads and cam are fairly important.

Absolutely gorgeous, 6shooter - I have that pic on my rotating "best c4 pics" screensaver...

This problem ended up turning into this: http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89011 The short version of what I believe happened is... -Did tuneup -Did NOT replace ground strip/strap on ignition coil when doing cap and rotor -This ended up causing the surging, etc... -While...

Good info, thanks!

Woooo!!!! Looks like I'm going to sneak under the wire - the cutoff year for detailed emissions system tests is 1988! :)

Heard the same good stuff about the TPIS install, will go for that one if/when doable. As for exhaust, I've got a pair of brand new Magnaflows waiting to go on! :)

I'm pretty sure they stick a mirror under the car and the whole works, but I'm not sure if they would mind as long as the main cat's there. Have to check tomorrow.... Damn. Another tasty item to my wish list...

I suppose it would come down to how much the shorties cost, as that tpis setup looks like it runs about $1000...also, I don't know if we're allowed to eliminate the front Y-pipe mini-cats here...thought I had to keep them. Have to check that out.

I'm in the Great Green North of BC, so emissions is huge, hence the small gains of shorties + ditching my ratty old manifolds would be cool in itself. I've looked pretty hard for l98 shorties with no success so far.

I'm interested in knowing whether anyone makes them as well...

There's a gorgeous set on ebay right now, caps and wheels but no lock+tool. Might go for those if I can scrounge the cash, but I just bought mufflers and mats and plenum and dynamat stuff so might postpone the 88 wheel purchase til next year. cheers

It's been running fine since adjusting the idle stop screw...I have huge fall/winter plans for it, including plenum swap, runners+manifold(if I can afford them), cat back exhaust, and sound insulation in the interior. When I do the intake stuff, I will be taking off the IAC and cleaning and...

True, but I can only go +/- 1 year and still get collector's plates, so gotta be 88. cheers
