    Anyone need a Carfax check?

    [I'm posting this in several forums so that hopefully everyone that needs to will see it.] Hey Everyone-- I currently have a month of unlimited Carfax reports, but it runs out in a couple of days. Anybody need a report run? If so, just click on my username and send me an email with your VIN...

    Anyone need a Carfax check?

    Hey Everyone-- I currently have a month of unlimited Carfax reports, but it runs out in a couple of days. Anybody need a report run? If so, just click on my username and send me an email with your VIN. I'll run the report and email it back to you. Crap! I just looked and it runs out tomorrow...

    Replace front tires only, or all 4?

    Hey Everybody-- I currently have the tires that came on my 2000 coupe when I got it at 60K miles (now just over 66K): non-EMT Goodyear Eagle F1s on the front and Falken FK-451s on the rear. The Eagles need replacing, but the Falkens still have a good bit of tread left. I'm leaning heavily...

    Help finding the correct fuse... anyone?

    Sorry I didn't see this earlier, Glen! I had the exact same problem on mine, with the underhood lamp and vanity mirror lights not coming on. It's definitely not obvious that it is the #2 fuse, since it is not labeled as such. I had to trace the diagram in my service manuals as well. Glad you...

    Is it me, or is this forum defaulting to last day?

    I agree, Jeff. I sent a message via email to Rob last night, asking for him to reset the default behavior for this forum. Hopefully, we'll see a change soon!

    ZR-1 Automatic Convertables

    Yeah, no production ZR-1s were ever made (a) as convertibles or (b) with automatic transmissions. There was a prototype (or I guess it was a custom job) convertible that I've seen in the National Corvette Museum, however... Also, there apparently was a true prototype featured here.

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Thanks, Jeff! That sounds good, and was just what I was wanting to know. Since the tires have been replaced and the brakes done, I feel the worth of the car has been slightly redeemed, so I might offer a tad more at the outset in an attempt to offend the salesman less... ;LOL Thanks for the...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Oh, I know. I'm not getting attached to this one car; in fact, I've been looking everywhere I can think of online for comparisons and to see if any good deals can be had out there. My main interest in this car is (1) the low mileage, and (2) the fact that, despite that low mileage, I should be...

    Is it me, or is this forum defaulting to last day?

    Am I the only one that's seeing this particular forum default to only showing threads modified in the last day? I see 2 whole threads listed when I first go to the forum. Of course, I can change this via the popup menu at the bottom of the page and reload, but that gets to be a hassle after a...

    VIN check on my car?

    Ran Carfax on your car. Reply to the email I sent you so I can forward the report to you. L8r, Fred

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Thanks once again for the replies, fellas! So, I'm guessing you are now upping your initial suggestion of $15K because of the new tires and brake job, right? I mentioned Kelley's Blue Book pricing above, but that was retail pricing, and the salesman has told me that they don't consider it a...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Is the Kelley Blue Book retail value an accurate price to work from? For this car, it says the price from a dealer would be about $20,815. Of course, that... Obviously, this ZR-1 has NOT been reconditioned. Also... Just heard back from the salesman. Here are some of his comments and my...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Thanks, Ted (and again to Jeff)! I have also run Carfax on the car and have gotten the dealership warranty service printout. Strange thing is that the warranty printout shows almost no information. No delivering dealer, no model. Almost every field shows "N/A". I would imagine this has to do...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Wow, thanks for the detailed reply, Jeff! And thanks as well for your reply, Bill! Got a few return comments and questions. Should I expect to pay that (by the dealer marking up their asking price), or is it something they should cover at no extra charge? Why do you say hard driving? Isn't it...

    Considering purchase of '90 ZR-1, have Q's...

    Hey Guys (and Gals) [sorry for the loooonnnnggg post!]-- I currently have my Corvette "fix" officially satisfied by my 2000 coupe. Unofficially, though, :D I've always loved the ZR-1 and have wanted one ever since riding in and driving my friend's Bright Red '90 ZR-1 back in high school...

    Help Needed - Should I trade in my Camaro for a new Vette?

    I'm with you on that, Wally! ;stupid [Sorry, couldn't fine a smiley whose sign said "I'm with Wally"!] Seriously, though, Kevin-- I'm sure your Camaro SS is nice, but a Vette is a Vette, dude! BTW, I can't figure how your Camaro could have better "low speed torque in 6th gear" than the Vette...

    What do you guys think of these rotors?

    VETTEX2-- I think Slickman would probably respond better if you provided some additional details or info behind your statements in this thread. I know I would be more interested if you did. You're not saying a whole lot more than "They're crap," then giving us no further explanation. Can you...

    C5 Shop Manual

    I believe so. Either that, or they are reprinting the same content that's in the factory manuals. In any case, it's obviously GM's official info. And there's about 4000+ pages of it! Good resource for $120 (or less if you find them on eBay).

    Will stock C5 tires fit on wider Z06 Wheels?

    I would think that it would look a little funny if it worked at all. But, I'm no tire/wheel expert. It's just that the Z06 wheels are an inch wider, and I can't see your stock coupe tires fitting properly...
