I have a new carper kit for my '86 and today I started pulling out the old carpet. On the side of the console there is some type of goo. It is in beads and it is still sticky today. It was used to stick the carpet to the plastic side panels of the console. Any idea where I can get some of...

I am working on several projects on my ’86 and I will have the dash panel pulled off. I have the optional Bose stereo system. The radio works great but the cassette player hasn’t worked since I purchased the car, so I don’t know how long it has not worked. When you put a tape in it cycles...

So what is a blue cover manual?

I'm 55 and bought my '86 about a year and a half ago. I can afford a new one but I like the body style of the C4. I have wanted a Vette since I first saw a '64 from a school bus before I had a license. Now the kids are all on their own, well sorta, so I figured it was time. I asked my wife...

Thanks for all of the information. I just found this web site and it has helped me understand all this gas stuff better. http://www.toptiergas.com/index.html

Thanks for the link. That is a very infomative article about gasoline but I still have my question about gas at discount retailers. Does it hurt your engine to use it?

I have recently been told by a mechanic, not the one I use, that I should use name brand gasoline, Chevron to be specific. I use Chevron on occasion but I buy a lot of gasoline at Wal-Mart for my Vette and our other vehicles. I look at it like I consider generic brands versus name brands that...

I have been thinking about replacing my shocks also. I have an 86 coupe with the Z51 option. I bought my Vette about a year ago and it has some kind of tire store shocks on it. What would be the stock replacement shocks and where can I get them? What would I expect to gain from going back to...

Glad you had a great trip and lots fo fun!

I got the bezzels off today and adjusted the covers. They look so much better. Thanks to all for the information.

Thanks, I think I tried to get the bezzel off once before and didn't make it. I'll try again.

Is there an adjustment on the covers or headlight assemblies to flush the covers up with the hood? One side on my '86 is way out. Thanks

Be very careful with MEK. Use it in a very well ventilated area and don't get it on your skin. It is great stuff for doing projects like this but it also can be very harmful to your health.

Thanks! I searched for Wilcox in many ways and got all kinds of sights but I don't think I found the right one. Can you put me closer?

Is there something special with Auto Custom carpets? I am planning to replace the carpet in my "86 and their price was a little over $800. Corvette Central's price is $495. Thanks

The clear coat on my whells is coming off and they look kinda ratty. What kind of paint stripper did you use? Do you have to dismount the tires? There is a kit that is offered by some of the specialty distributors and they say in their ads that you have to dismount the tires? This sounds...

The carpet on my '86 is faded bad and I am planning to replace it. Is there any better place to get a carpet kit than Corvette Central? Anything else I should consider before I start this project? Thanks

If I am understandng you right I have the same kind of damage to my windshield. Mine is not like the typical rock ping that leaves a cirlce that you normally can get filled but it is more like a deep scratch. It was there when I bought it about a year ago. It has not spread or gotten any...

That's right. The level is right on the mark. I just got back from driving it again and no leak. Thanks

Thanks. I checked at the base of the tube and the fluid is not leaking there. It only happens after the car has set for a week. I think it is coming out the top of the tube. I should have also said that the car is running great. This just started happening about a month ago. I started it...
