C3 Driver, Welcome. Glad to have you on board. As for my '81, I've had it for about 4 or 5 years now and it's still a blast! I drive it all the time and love every minute of it.:) Be prepared to start enjoying life more! God bless, Sensei

Wow! I think I've been saying this for years. As Bartles and James would say, "Thanks for your support." God bless, Sensei

Ditto, Sensei

I think the new term is "Tuner".:L

:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash So I go out this morning to drive the car. My son gets in and for some God-only-knows-why reason pulls the parking brake lever! :bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash:bash The parking brake goes today! Just call me Bubba!

Good point! But actually, I couldn't go through with it and once again I got under, loosened it up and got it to stop dragging, then took the slack out. It doesn't work, but it's all still there. God bless, Sensei

I think this is where I'm at right now!

The reason I am asking is because I'm thinking of removing mine. It has to be adjusted to where it will not stop the car or it drags. Even then, if someone pulls the lever, it will drag until I re-adjust it. Lately, my gas milage and performance have not been up to par, and it seems that the...

I still have no idea what happened. I just replaced the burnt wire and plug and have been driving ever since. I'm taking a trip out of state in the car over the weekend, so I guess I'm not too concerned at this point. If I have any trouble on the road, I'll write about it when I get back. God...

I think SIXFOOTER understands what he thinks he understands! God bless, Sensei

Yesterday I was driving and my alternator belt bit the big one and took the other belts with it. I got it home and this morning went out to replace the belts. The engine was a bit dirty so I cleaned it first (Simple green and a hose, dried it with compressed air), then I replaced the belts. I...

Here is my two cents worth on mufflers. I've seen people sink alot of money into mufflers, but for about $20 each, you can get a set of turbo performance mufflers from Summit or most any parts store (even name brands like Dynomax or Cherry Bomb). They look exactly like stock, sound good (in my...

Just at a glance, if your computer thinks you are going 35 when you are going 25, it may be shifting/ locking up early causing the bog. It's not something I look at regularly, but I'm pretty sure my speedo and computer readout match. What modifications to the drive train might you have? God...

The exhaust is the biggie. I replaced my exhaust and FELT a HUGE difference (shorty headers, 2.5" true duals w/ no cats and high flow mufflers). A couple of years after that I rebuilt the engine with Dart heads, Flat top pistons, Edelbrock intake and a Comp cam. With all of that, I did not feel...

Mine have always done exaxtly what yours do. I figure, "Hey. they come up and go down, don't mess with it." Hope you get it straightened out. God bless, Sensei

Replacing the mc solinoid is not that hard, but you first need to be sure that it is the problem. The Roe book is good. You also need this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1981-Corvette-Shop-Manual_W0QQitemZ220150755746QQihZ012QQcategoryZ34215QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem God bless...

Orange and green, green goes toward the front of the vehicle. Lars will not touch an E4ME. God bless, Sensei

Gerry, If you are still looking, Jet performance was still burning custom chips last I heard, but at $400, I don't recommend it. God bless, Sensei

Okay, so Big Bird challenged me a while back about performance with the CCC system. I have done a fair amount of performance mods to my car. While it is not a race car (that was not my goal) it is pretty satisfying when you floor it. I am using the hypertech thermomaster chip. I have used a...

I love mine! You can pretty well bet that it will leak when it rains (as do all C3s), but I think the '81 was the quintessential shark. God bless, Sensei
