    ramps

    I have a set of Rhino ramps that once I have the Vette up on them are great for doing some under car service. To protect the air dam I built some short plywood extensions. My problem is getting the car up on them. When I start up on the ramp they slid out. Any ideas? Thanks

    Vette wouldn't start

    I've had my '86 for about three years now. After I had owned it for several months I experienced what you described. Hit the key and nothing. Fiddle with the key and the gear selector, park to neutral, and without knowing what I had done it would all of a sudden start. This happened several...

    State Farm's new way to screw you for more money

    I was just like you until I had a claim problem. I had been with them since I started driving and I'm now 57. My daughter's car got vandilized at school and State Farm were real jerks about it. It was the first claim we had had in years. The agent was worthless. It caused me to look around...

    Shocks on a Z51 84

    For what it is worth my '86 has the Z51 Handling Package and it also has a sperate listing, FG3 Bilstein Shocks. Now it could be that Z51 could force FG3 but it is listed seperately. Sadly the previous owner replaced the shocks and went with a tire store brand replacement. Soon I will be...

    Any good places for finding exhaust systems?

    Sounds great but it is hard to tell just how loud it is since I don't know how much to turn up the speakers. I like the tone. I am going to have to replace my exhaust system soon and I have been considering the magnaflow. I don't want it to be much if any louder in the interior. Do you get...

    Favorite Corvette Magazine

    What's your favorite Corvette magazine and Why? I bought my '86 about two years ago. I immediately subscribed to "Vette" and "Corvette Fever". I have enjoyed both magazines and I like the how to articles and the technical information the most. Although I enjoy reading about all Corvettes I...

    Do I have transmission problems?!!

    Sounds like a linkage problem to me. I had a problem with mine and I had to have it rebuilt. My symptoms were fluid coming out the dipstick tube when started up and definite slipping when accelerating.

    Carpet questions

    The only gluing I had to do was on the transmission tunnel plastic forms ( sorry I don’t know what they are called). I have not replaced the carpet on the door panels yet as it was in pretty good shape and I decided to wait until I redo the door panels themselves and I haven’t replaced the...

    Exhaust ????????????

    From what I have heard around our streets here in Idaho coming out of the pipes of choppers you don't need to have anything to reduce your exhaust noise. In fact I'm darn tired of hearing it. Don't get me wrong I like the sound of performance but straight pipes on choppers is just plain...

    Carpet questions

    I replaced the carpet in my '86 last winter. It is an envolved project but worth the effort. I used the mass backing as it is the same as the original. I have not seen the poly backing but I understand that the mass is thicker and provides more sound deadening.

    Engine Rattle

    Thanks to everyone for their input. Today I changed the belt and the belt tensioner and it solved the loud chirping noise. I did it in stages. First I changed the belt and it took care of the problem. However, since I had the new tensioner and it was a special order I changed it also. I did...

    Engine Rattle

    Thanks everyone. The information is great but I have hit another snag. According to the owner's manual there are two belts for my '86 depending on the alternator. It lists one with the 108 amp alternator and another for the 120 amp alternator. The difference is 10mm in length. It also...
