Great Story Very well written. Sounds like a ton of fun! Did you accomplish this with a stock C4 with 130000 miles?

Hi Auzzie. As you can see, I own an 89 Coupe and live in Denver. Where to begin? I am fortunate in that my Vette has been fairly reliable in the 2 1/2 years I have had it. However, that is a relative term. I don't use it as a daily driver. I have put about 10,000 miles on it since I've owned it...

Color Run it is! Went up this Saturday for a shakedown color run. 285 through Fairplay then over Hoosier Pass to Breckenridge. 190 miles through the mountains. 26 MPG :v :J Will start a thread with some photos tonight. Need to get my son to assist with the photos.

P.S. New GM ACDelco water pump from the parsladi on ebay. I called Burt Chevrolet here in Denver and they said I got it for less than they pay for it. :upthumbs Also replaced the lower radiator hose. I am curious though. :confused The water pump looks no different than a standard SBC water...

Water Pump Done Finished installing the water pump last night. Not a very difficult project. The rattle and hum is no more! :D The job got a little longer because I took the oppportunity to clean everything I could now get to with all the stuff off of the front of the engine. Wasn't able to...

Top Tier I like to stick with " Top Tier" fuels. around here that means Shell and Phillips 66 pretty much. Top tier fuels are approved by the major manufacturers based on the additives and the mixture.:)

#% ^@! Center Cap bolts! Three of the four came off easily. The 4th which was of course on the wheel with that picked up the nail - stuck tight!:mad It wasn't corroded in the threads it was just tightend up to o much when it was last instaled. Had to drill the top off. The coded key isn't...

Car Gods The car Gods were in fact smiling on me. This weekend I put the serpentine belt back on and fired it up to move it out of the garage and around to the front of the house. In just that short distance, the suspect water pump started leaking. Thank the car gods!;worship Already have...

Welcome! My diagnosis? Your girlfriend has contracted a case of Vette Fever.:cry It is very contagious but not to worry. The condition is chronic but not terminal.;) You will find plenty of help and encouragement here at the :CAC . My 89 runs smooth as silk with the same mileage showing...

Glenn. The 70 Chevelle was sacrificed for the Vette. It was a 1970 Malibu convertible. 350 C.I, auto, buckets, A/C, PS, PB, power top. I bought it in 1994 and over the years I rebuilt the engine, replaced the transmission, did complete paint and body, did a headlight to taillight complete...

What C4C5 says C4C5 Specialist recommends using Techron as a first measure any time you experience drivability issues. Right Paul?

Update and confirmation I removed the serpentine belt last night and spun each of the accessories by hand. All are smooth with the exception of the water pump. When I grab the frisbie and give it a good spin - it makes a noise. :nono It spins pretty easily too. I am not leaking any coolant...

Most Excellent! Welcome and Congrats! Awesome choice!:upthumbs

Something is going out or has worked itself loose. I have a rattle at idle which turns into a pretty good vibration from about 1200 to 1800 rpm. Disappears above 1800. Car runs perfect. Sounds like one of the accessories when I lift the hood but a can't seem to isolate it. :confused Any...

Ditto This has happend to me a couple of times as well but not all the time. So far it saeems to clear itself with a couple of cycles.:)

Congrats! Congrats on the new Vette. :upthumbs I think you will really appreciate the much improved handling of the C4!

42K IS Brand New! These are incredible machines with huge bang for the buck. The wife stopped teaching last spring and money is a little tighter. I occasionally consider getting rid of the Vette since a have a couple of MR2s I play with. Every time I take the 89 out I ask myself again',"What...

Practice Makes Perfect! I know you bought your tool after the hood was stuck. For those, like me, who preemptively buy or make one, I strongly recommend you practice with it before you actually need it. I found that it helps to be able to open and close the hood a couple of times to see what...

Try This Hope it went O.K. If you are still having problems, do a search on replacing the outer window seals. This should lead you to a magazine article that gives a detailed procedure for removing the door panels.:)

Weather stripping and 109 F Congratulations. Sounds like you were successful. Working on cars is a great way to develop patience. I just took off my thumbnail two weeks ago while doing an MR2 engine swap. ;shrug I guess I am not done developing yet! I found Lonestar on ebay a couple months ago...
