    LT4 True LT4 HP

    I've heard rumors that chevy gave the car mags de-tuned LT4's for testing... so they wouldn't show off the extra power. The main reason for this is the development cost of the LT4 was very low, versus the millions spent on the LT5 and LS1. Imagine how much cheaper the C5 would have been if...

    Head lights up

    There is no real way to do it on 'working' headlights on later C4's (1990 up) If the headlights are not working, you can rotate the 'knob' on top of the black cylinder (headlight motor) and the headlamp will rotate open. it will take what seems like a million twists to get the headlamp to...

    F/S '88 35th Anniversay

    C4's have just taken a major hit in price the last couple of years. Your car is a knock-out, and the 35 ann. is a car that is well liked. (There is one on eBay right now with 35k miles, check that out if you get a chance.) For the down-side: $13.5k can buy a nice 1995 coupe with 70k on...

    Changed the rotors/pads. Did I miss anything?

    We are talking about a street car here, with ABS. everyone I've ever talked to says force the old fluid out of the caliper through the bleeder valve so you don't mess up the ABS sensors. doing that alone would require a bleed.

    Fidanza Upgrade

    you really can't beat the price compared to stock. I think power / $$ is there, even with a gamble that it won't work (especially if you can do the work yourself)... this of course assumes you are in it for the power :lou Either route you choose... good luck:) This is one of the few mods...

    IMMEDIATE ADVICE NEEDED!!!! HEEEELP!!!

    FYI -- Sears has a nice one for a good price... and it comes with a pig tail to attach to the car, so all you gotta do is plug it in instead of dealing with alligator clips.

    Changed the rotors/pads. Did I miss anything?

    being from florida, I am surprised at your stance here. Brake fluid may not 'need' to be changed after simple pad/rotor replacement but it certainly should be. Glycol based brake fluid loves to absorb water, and will take it right out of the air... and in Florida's ever humid climate, fluid...

    What are the details on these Callaways that are on the market?

    I see :) curious how well it drives... if anyone goes to see it, gotta let us know!

    Fidanza Upgrade

    I think the 10% number is BS. If they are saying 10% it is probably more like 30% or more. However, if you take your time on the install you should be ok in the end. The kicker really is the balancing. it isn't easy to match balance two flywheels that are so different in overall weight. I...

    What are the details on these Callaways that are on the market?

    yes... but if the showroom auto web site is correct, someone bought it already :(

    Changed the rotors/pads. Did I miss anything?

    They will go back and forth... if you are looking above the brake (think hood open looking down) they will move toward and away from the center of the car, back and forth on the caliper. this keeps them centered on the caliper all the time. it will all make sense when you get into it...

    Changed the rotors/pads. Did I miss anything?

    That is strange... I can't remember exactly what the brakes were like on the '87 (I used to have an '87 vert too!). I think they are free floating brakes like the rest of the C4's though. Assuming so, make sure the calipers float on the pins back and forth like they should. Make sure the...

    Fidanza Upgrade

    It's loud. sounds like someone through a bag of rocks in the tranny. The fly needs to be balanced properly, and most important installed properly. I don't think mine is and I get chatter when the clutch gets hot. On the other side of the coin, it grabs like heck, and the car revs...

    what option codes? the Z51 included a few things with it, but was mainly the suspension...

    Changed the rotors/pads. Did I miss anything?

    Definitely bleed the brake system... humidity kills brake fluid, and you know how humid it is down here in FL. There aren't many parts on brakes, so just check them out... check the lines, etc. anything worn or cracked will need replacing, but the chances of that are pretty slim.

    Windshield

    same in Florida... ususally the insurance picks it up everywhere. the last thing they want is an accident because the person can't see

    11" Wheels on the FRONT of a C4?

    I haven't, but if it helps any the wheel offsets are the same from '88-'96

    What are the details on these Callaways that are on the market?

    Oddly enough, it shows up under the 'sold' list on showroom auto's site. I still think the price is (or was) great... if the wife was on board it would probably be in my garage right now. :lou
