    I caught a girl fleeing the scene!

    Did her parents post the bond? Looks like she spent 24 hours in the slam before being bailed out. Your insurance will cover the damages but if she doesn't have insurance (or is not on her parent's policy), your company will probably write the expenses off. It would be hard for them to go...

    Any body know about this..?

    If you have reason to believe that some tech will abuse your car while it's in the shop, I would go directly to the service manager or to the general manager and complain. Actually, I would go to both of them and in a voice luod enough for customers to hear. If I found out that somebody...

    Nice C5 Wallpaper Photos

    Notice the side marker lights and side turnsignal/parking lights?? Marks it as a European export car. The webpage is in German and I think they are pics for desktops. From what I can read, it says to clicd on the small pic to enlarge it for desktop pics. Most of the pics on that page...

    Water pump already?

    FWIW, GM no longer recommends the use of the sealing tabs. There was a service bulletin issued to dealerships a couple of years ago that said there was a possibility of the cooling tubes in the radiator getting clogged up if you used all six of the tabs so GM decided to drop them from cooling...

    Bose Cassette/CD player in a 93 Coupe

    Some audio CD's burned on PC's will not play in some older CD players. That may be why it works in the Pontiac and not in the Vette. There is probably no difference between the 93 and 96 C4 player system so the chances are that you may not gain anything by replacing it. It could also be...

    Rear Light

    Remove the license plate. Then remove the backup lamp assembly for that side. Once that is off, you can reach in and remove the two 10mm nuts that hold the inside tail lamp assembly in place. Small hands and arms help here but expect to leave some skin :ugh If the bulb in the outside lamp...

    85 Wheels??

    While the 88-96 17x9.5 wheels will fit, you would have to have adapters to get them to sit properly in the wheelwells. Adapters can run a few hundred dollars and you need to use OEM (GM) wheels with them. Go to www.afswheels.com and follow the links to find ZR-1 style wheels for the early...

    Carpet Glue

    The 3M carpet adhesive is probably the best bet to use. It's easy to find and it does hold the carpet well but still allows for easy removal of old carpeting. Like any adhesive, the trick to having it work correctly is to follow the instructions! You should be able to get by with one can...

    AFS Wheels in Canada

    How close are you to the border? Many larger US cities will have tire stores that sell q variety of wheels and do special orders. Find one that will order a set of AFS wheels for you and have them installed there. Try Discount Tire or even a Les Schwab store. Tell them you want AFS...

    C4 power not catalysed of origin for French

    pat68 I tried to find links to the Corvette Club of France, but apparently their web site is gone or the club no longer exists. I did find this website that is in French and may be of some help to you: http://www.clubcorvettenordsud.com/ The 1992 is a wonderful car and will provide you...

    AFS Wheels in Canada

    Got a friend in the US?? Give him the money to purchase them (in USD!)with delivery to his place. Go visit for a weekend and take them to a tire store and have the wheels mounted and then drive home. What are the chances that Canadian Customs might remember your car going into the US with the...

    ATE Brake Fluid

    ATE Super Blue and it's "other color" twin TYP200 (gold color) is an excellent high performance fluid that will work great for track use or wherever extreme braking is used. Both have a wet boiling point of 392 degrees which is at the low end of the DOT4 level. Not as high as Castrol SRF or...

    Wheels Gone!

    Chrome wheels were never an factory option so somebody bought them before you got the car. A chrome plate job is only as good as the prep work that was done before the chrome was applied. While the climate does play a part, I would bet that there are a number of cars in your area with...

    Another Badge Question.

    Some people will probably tell you it is not appropriate for engine designation badges to be placed on a car where that particular motor option was not available. The LT4 was an option only on the 96 C4's and came only with a manual tranny. In addition, all of the LT4's had a specific engine...

    FX3 Actuator Queston

    When the SRC light comes on as a result of an error code, the controller sends a signal to the actuators to adjust the shocks to their softest setting regardless of the position of the console switch. The switch becomes disabled at that point. Any SRC code will cause this. If the car is...

    FX3 Actuator Queston

    The front shocks are very straightforward. You can even R&R the front shocks without jacking the car up! The actuator is held in place by a C-clip. You should see it on the bottom of the actuator housing. Pull the clip out and lift the actuator straight up. Disconnect the electrical...

    FX3 Actuator Queston

    There are two versions of shocks based on the number of degrees the shock rods turn, but I think the actuators are all the same. The front and rear actuators can be swapped side to side but not front to back. The only reason they cannot be swapped front to rear is because of the length of...

    Has any one tried this????

    Yes, yes it is Any of these things that advertise increases in power or fuel mileage for just a few dollars are basically worthless. Same with the "Tornado", the "Air Foil", the "Throttle Position Sensor" or even those magnets that wrap around the fule line. None of these things provide any...

    FX3 Actuator Queston

    You won't hurt anything by driving with the bad actuators. The dealer is quoting prices so far above ridiculous that it's not even worth laughing about. You should be able to find new shocks inthe $250 range or you can have Bilstein rebuild your old shocks. Actuators, unfortunately, are...

    1991 CORVETTE ORIGINAL HARDTOP WILL FIT A 1984 THRU 1996 CORVETTE

    You will need a T40 socket for the bracket bolts. The front windshield pillar bolts are already in the car and are also T40. For the two bolts that will be in the rear deck locating pins, you will need an 8mm or 5/16" ratcheting box end wrench. Make sure the B-pillar brackets come with the...
