    Replacing original C5 battery

    Go with a gel cell battery or glass mat battery, your main wiring harness is below your battery. Battery fluid and wiring harnesses/computers do not mix. I went with a yellow top. I also used a memory saver, when I replaced my battery. BTW the Delco's used to leak.

    What I'm looking for is a small computer that can play MP3 that can be linked somehow into my radio in the car, is capable of running GPS, has a 5 to 7 inch flat screen and possibly ps2 and/or dvd capable. I'd also like either a touch screen or mouse pad inbedded on the panel. Now I know...

    R&R Battery for 2000 C-5 Corvette

    It worked for me. It took me 30 minutes to replace my old delco with the Ultima, no memory was lost.

    R&R Battery for 2000 C-5 Corvette

    I plugged in a 9 volt battery into my cigarette lighter to retain my memory. I think it cost 5 bucks for the connection. I also replaced my battery with an Ultima yellow top so I am assured that I won't have problems. As far as the recall. I had my steering column lock done 2 years ago and...

    I have to admit I am wrong....

    I owned a MGB rubber nose and a Jensen Healey. I had a bumper sticker on both of them that said the parts falling off this vehicle are of the finest britsh manufacturer. I miss both of them. I've also been divorced twice, coincidence, I think not. I see fewer and fewer of them now a days, but...

    Tires

    Replaced mine with GS D3's. Love the handling, quietness. Have Triple A and a cell phone. My EMT's were bald at 35k. Even though mine doesn't see much rain, am not floating on top of puddles. When these wear out, am getting another set.

    HVAC Starts By ITSELF!!!! It's Posessed???

    By chance has any water, coffee or other wet substance hit the controls. Dry and allow dry completely the climate controls. It should work correctly afterwards.

    Windows hitting convertible top

    Take it back to the dealer where you bought your car. If this condition lasts long enough, it with wear through the fabric of the top. Tops on C5's are not cheap. Hopefully, your car is under some sort of limited warranty and should not cost you anything. This problem as stated before is a known...

    Looking for a way to hold stuff down.

    I was thinking to just stitch buttons the same color of my interior into the rug. That way if I go to a show it might be missed by a judge.

    Looking for a way to hold stuff down.

    I've been thinking about getting another net for the front of my trunk. Then just attach the net right behind the beginning of my trunk. That way, I can just slip stuff that I use, sunglasses, sunblock, etc, in easy reach.

    R/C Corvettes

    I didn't know that Tamiya made a c5 vette for RC. Now please understand that most of Tamiya's stuff is not for real racing. Even though their quality has probably improved since the old grass hopper days, you looking at plastic parts that will break under load and normal wear and tear on the...

    two crashes due to repeated dysfunction of the acceleration system

    Yes, but then I replaced the master cylinder. ;LOL I too would like to give this guy, the benefit of the doubt. However, without additional information, this is a non issue. I wish the guy the best of luck. Mike
