Rick- My first vette was a used 59 then sold it for a used big block 66, sold that in 71 to purchase a new 72 LT-1 Then in 85 purchased a new C4 with Z51 then sold the C4 in 2000 for a black Y2K C5 vette. The only trouble I have now is I wished I had kept them all....:beer

Stay away from aviation fuel, if you want to run a Octane Fuel booster make sure that it contains Xylene or Toulene . But remember it will only boost your octane by 1/2 point. To me you are better off trying to find Union 76 Station that sells Competition 100 fuel and mix it yourself, I would...

The only way to fix the outside mirrors on a C5 is to replace the mirror assembly. Its about $350.00 at the dealer and mirror assembly comes unpainted. What normally happens is the push washer that keeps tension on the spring wears out the shoulder on the post .There is a cheap fix, you can...

I have the Corsa exhaust system on my Y2K C5 and am very happy with the fit and finish, but best of all no inside cab exhaust drone at any rpm and music to my ears at wide open throttle :beer

I have the Corsa Touring Exhaust, fit and finish are excellant no exhaust drone in cab at any rpm ,at idle a little to tame but music to my ears at wide open throttle.........:beer

Glad to hear that your on the road again, One more warning, do not test drive a new C5 otherwise you just might sell your C4 like I did. "Save the Wave" :beer :w

I purchased from MidAmerica a topshade (static-cling) and also the Head Liner Blackout which is a panel covered in headliner style material to maintain a factory appearance . I really like the smoked clear top on my C5 but here in sunny calif the sun when parked just heats up my black on black...

Hey Leon, one thing I forgot to mention is that you need to remember where the setting is at because somtimes when I take a turn I notice that I have alot of body lean and wonder my C5 is handling very soft then I look at the knob and its set on Tour. I would recommend that you drive a C5 with...

As far as clearing the codes in the ECM you can with no problems but remember if the fault is still present the code will return either in history or active. Even after you repair the fault you still need to clear the code or after about 25-35 ignition cycles if the fault has not returned the...

Hi New Member, my 85 C4 had the Z51 and on a rough road it would rattle my teeth. Now my Y2K C5 has the F45 adjustible and now I have the best of both, and yes I can feel the diffrence in each of the settings especially in the Performance setting, but hey there may be times that you just want to...

Hey, have you tried tighting down the intake manifold bolts ?? you would be suprised how many of them could be loose. Just a suggestion, also that stp stuff to me is a no-no !!! Just my 2 cents worth..........:beer

I had the same problem on my 85 coupe and to make a long story short it turned out to be my EGR Valve stuck in the open position, normally this would set a code but in my case also there were no trouble codes............:beer :w

I use Redline injector cleanerabout every 8-10 fill ups. The additive that chevron uses is just enough to satisfy the Federal requirements. Redline works, its the only additive that meets GM,Ford,BMW, Porsch, Toyota and Maserati requirements and standards.......just my 2cents:beer

The more run-flats wear the louder the noise is because of the stiff side wall. they are supposed to take you out of harms way with out having to stop where you do not want to stop . If you go to non- run flats you will need to carry a elect. portable air compressor a plug repair kit and a small...

Great Color of a great car for 03:beer

Jim, I have the Corsa Touring on my Y2K coupe and have heard the Indys. Both at idle are just a tad louder than stock, at cruise they are as quiet as stock with no interior drone at 2000 rpm but when you go WOT the indys are alot louder then the touring and with the Indys you have to run the...

My Y2k had the same problem, instead of shelling out the bucks for the Heatmaster Shield I purchased a rool of fiberwrap header tape wrap and wraped my exhaust from the manifold flange pipes to the main cats then to the H pipes. It has cut down 80 percent of the heat in the center console. Now...
