    Official 2011 CruiseFest thread

    Late posting as usual - just turned the computer on today; we were the last to arrive at CF in Effingham. I want to add my thanks to the MAMW staff for all that they did. What made this CF especially great was the three hour seminar Paul put on and the work he did on the cars afterward - this...

    CruiseFest Registration is OPEN!!

    Car is clean as I just took it out of storage last Tuesday and haven't driven it yet other than to the upstairs garage. Leaving early Tuesday morning for KC, then on to Effingham on Wednesday afternoon. Hope we get a lot of late registrants. Barrett

    Question: Tpms

    Yes, the TPS units are Shrader named after the man who invented the Shrader valve. From what I understand researching the TP sensors, they are made by the same company and there really isn't a difference, except for cost. The generics are about $25 or so cheaper. I thought uncleollies had C6...

    Question: Tpms

    You have options other than purchasing the TP sensors from a dealer. 1) You can remove the sensors from the wheels and take them to a Battery Store and they will install new ones for around $10 each [I have read somewhere that Discount Tire also does the rebuild], 2) you can google Corvette Tire...

    LT4man rides again!

    Gregory, I can't think of a better way to make my 1,000th post on the CAC than to send kudos for you and the vette. When we last talked, you said you were leaning toward using the OEM rear panel. Everything looks great in the pics and I truly would like to see you and the car at CF. After...

    flying roof panel

    Didn't know that the 2006 Z06 had removable roof panels, thought they were permanently attached. Did his red vette have the panel missing when he drove up? Barrett

    Painting on my clean canvas

    If you could have waited until CF in Effingham, MAMW people would have installed the console lid cover for you like they did for your Z06 last year. And, you could have avoided shipping costs. But now you must show off the car at CF this year. Barrett

    Painting on my clean canvas

    It must be a C5 thing with the ss screws. I put them on my 02 Coupe two years ago and immediately noticed the same effect that you experienced. Never thought that this minor mod would do so much. Barrett

    Caravan from the West

    You'd better check the registrations. I was at the Effingham CF last year with my brother, the non CF in Bowling Green in 2009 with my brother, the Cleveland CF in 2008, and Colorado Springs in 2007. My brother and I plan to be in Effingham, we just don't know what time we will arrive...

    gas prices

    In Colorado, the difference between grades is $0.15; that means that premium is $0.30 a gallon more than regular. The real problem is not the difference between the grades, but the base price we have to pay. To go from $1.75 last fall to almost $4 is the problem that we all face, but at least...

    gas prices

    I still run Top Tier gasoline, premium, in my vettes. I run regular in my other vehicles. I tried using mid grade and regular in my 94, but decided that if I have a vette, I might as well spend the money on the recommended fuel. I might run mid grade on my trips to and from CF and the...

    Critical Information!!!!

    Tom Is this the penalty for getting the Road Warrior award last year? I hope that the registration picks up. I saw who is attending and it seems to be the regulars who always attend. Good friends all; I hope that new attendees register so we can make more friends. Barrett

    Caravan from the West

    I am not sure what day or time I will be departing Colorado. My brother has a business committment on Wednesday and I am not sure what time we'll be leaving his house. My departure from Colorado depends on his schedule. Once I know, I will either post our schedule on this thread or e-mail...

    News: I'm baaaaaaaack!

    Thank goodness you stayed in Corvettes. As you told me previously, you thought that the R Fellows would be your last Corvette. I was worried that you were serious about it. Well, I can sleep nights now that you will keep the 03 for several years(?). You are going to bring it to CF in...

    Stripes on at the Museum?

    You are very fortunate to get your Jetstream Blue GS as Corvette has discontinued Cyber Gray, Crystal Red and Jetstream Blue for the 2011 series. The reason is that the pigment used in the three colors, Xirallic - to give the color a sheen, was only produced at one plant. This plant is located...

    low tire sensors

    Good luck in finding the TPS units. To aid in your search, I have listed the part numbers for the 1993 to 1996 Corvette TPS below, the new part number first and the old part number second in bold. GM renumbered their TPS sensors, so you need both part number if you purchase used TPS sensors for...

    Question: Radio question

    Since you said it was the player and not the speakers, you can have it rebuilt by Dr. Don. Just google his site. I had my 94 done and it took about one week. His site also provides a diagram on removing the unit, and it is not hard at all. I spent the extra $$ to have the CD unit upgraded to...
