    Question: Inside bolts on SuperRam?

    Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Fixing someone else's screwup is never fun :(. The last time we had my SR off (redoing intake gaskets) he went with the from-inside method. He didn't use nuts, but longer bolts and loc-tite. He drilled the plenum holes and tapped the runner holes and...

    What have you done to make your vette perform better?

    Not sure which smells better, the odor of rubber or victory over new mustangs... but I'm hoping to not have to take off the SR for a good long time. There's a cool-looking intake by FIRST (http://www.firstfuelinjection.com/products.htm) which I may get if I do have to remove/replace anything...

    What have you done to make your vette perform better?

    I elected to take a more... radical... approach to more performance: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=16634&l=c9af6&id=809077305 [RICHR]

    DAY TIME RUNNING LIGHTS?

    Check with some of the Corvette-only salvage yards like www.vette2vette.com. I can't see this being a high-demand item... [RICHR]

    For Sale 4+3 Clutch Slave Cylinder

    I can do PayPal, sure. PM me your account info. I'm not planning to do this one myself; I had the slave replaced last year with an aftermarket that's since needed replacing TWICE (at mechanic's expense). I told him if it died again I'd get a genuine GM for him instead. Mine was apparently...

    Want a good brochure on the 2008's

    I was hoping that'd be the case. I asked for Vette brochures twice in the list... we'll see if they send me two :). [RICHR]

    Want a good brochure on the 2008's

    Oddly, after you fill out all the info, it says you'll be getting *2007* brochures. [RICHR]

    Anyone have a G-Tech ?

    I've got one of the newer models; I don't think it's the SS but it has the same features (and is flash-upgradeable). It replaced my original GTech Pro (the one without any real controls). I like it. I haven't looked at the HP feature yet, but at the strip the tach reading was right on, and...

    HOW TO SPEND THOUSANDS OF HOURS AND DOLLARS AND WIND UP WITH LESS

    Actually, I thought that was an amazing kitbash job... though I'd hate to be the one to change those spark plugs. Sounded awesome in the drift video, too... best sounding Ricer in the world :) [RICHR]

    86 turns over but won't start

    They're mounted directly to the firewall; if you have two, then they're (IIRC) on a bracket that puts one in front of the other. [RICHR]

    86 turns over but won't start

    You replaced the fuel pump, but did you check the relay by the brake booster under the hood? Aside from the relay itself going bad, the insulation on the wires on the harness shrink with heat and age and cause the wires to cross and short out. I almost got stranded at Carlisle one year when...

    2 problems with my "new" 'vette...any suggestions

    1. Try replacing the mirror switch in the center console. The part that selects which side to adjust goes bad. Mine actually fell apart when I removed it. 2. The cornering lights only come on when your headlights are on (at least in my 86). Have you tried your turnsignals at night? [RICHR]

    1 Piece Oil Pan Gasket

    I installed a FelPro blue (the rubberized one) one-piece gasket; pretty sure it was put on dry. [RICHR]

    Targa top compatability

    Indeed, the windshield header mounting bolts are in a different place. You can get kits to update an early C4 to use later tops, but I've not seen one to use an eary top on a late C4. [RICHR]

    1984 Corvette Doug Nash 4+3

    Ok, that I don't have any thoughts on... my shifter moves a bit while still in gear, but not enough to bother me. [RICHR]
