    C4 Sidepipes: Who made or sold them?

    I believe those pipes were made by a company called "Side Effects". They are no longer in business. With 150K miles on the car I suggest you change all the fluids, hoses and belts unless the seller provided service records that showed the work had recently been done.

    Cup Holder Mod

    I must really be getting old. I remember when the option list for a Corvette included 6 engine choices, 4 transmissions and about 5 rear axle ratios. A cup holder was a place to hang an athletic support. :D

    Do not buy an Astro Targa top!!

    Your best bet is either the "parts for sale" section of this or other forums, a swap meet or a Corvette salvage yard like Vette2Vette. (Surprisingly very few Corvettes roll over in an accident so a fiberglass top may be one of the few body panels to survive an accident). I foud a brand new...

    vin plate

    What he said. If you get pulled over and the cop sees any indication the VIN plate has been tampered with he can impound the car on the spot.

    Limited Slip Diff

    If you remember the courtroom scene from "My Cousin Vinnie" Marisa Tomei pointed out that a car with LSD could not spin the wheel on pavment and leave a burnout patch if the other wheel was on gravel.

    Low coolant indicator light

    Have you changed the coolant recently? They system has to be burped to remove all the air pockets. The system may look full when cool but as the car warms up the air pockets will rise to the expansion tank near the passenger side firewall. Check your owners manual for the proper procedure.

    C4 Hardtops

    You might want to check with one of the salvage yards that specialize in Corvettes (like Vette2Vette). If they have a car with a hard top they should be able to sell you the top and all necessary hardware.

    Help! Info on C4 needed

    The mileage shown on the odometer is stored, I think, in the ECM (or one of the other computers), it's not stored in the odometer itself. Changing the dash shouldn't affect the odometer reading.

    Do not buy an Astro Targa top!!

    My 93 came with the OEM acrylic top when I bought it but I always wanted a solid, fiberglass top. I made the switch and am very happy. I don't intend to go back to an acrylic top but I've always heard good things about Melrose on this and other forums, while the general consensus has been to...

    Interior Carpet and Seat Advice sought!

    One solution for the seat covers is to go with cloth instead of leather. Much more comfortable in the heat. I think 93 was the last year cloth seats were available so it shouldn't be hard to find them.

    Water pump failing???

    If it's the waterpump you should see or be able to feel coolant dripping from the weep hole at the bottom of the housing. If it's the heater core (and good luck if it is) the leak will be inside. Check the carpet in the passenger's foot well. Another check is to turn on the defroster; if the...

    Question: Changing from Auto to 4 speed

    I believe there is a small difference in the blocks. The 4 speed cars have a boss or indentation for the clutch pedal assembly.

    why does it run so good?

    There's your reason. These cars do put out a lot of torque and the ASR is meant to keep the tires from spinning. With it turned off you have to be very careful when you hit the throttle, especially if the road is wet.
