No reply in awhile....I am wondering the same thing on '75 From what I can gather, they SHOULD fit BETTER than the 17", given the same final diameter, plus or minus - more room to clear calipers and such and more room to reposition the p-brake cable mounts effectively. Personally, I'd like my...

Good Deal! Glad you found one you wanted!

Turbo 400 and the driveshaft should handle 750hp in reasonable shape Rear drive drain is your weakness - and heat handling of course. Keep in mind, you can have 12 TRILLION hp if you don't stupidly nail it with 5K clutch dumps or, for that matter, give it full throttle from a dead stop...

I'm calling the GREEN POLICE MISTER!!!! You....You....YOU....EARTHKILLER!!!! ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL Wow - did I catch Alaska has that kind of nonsense too? (AKRay4Play) Ah - go ahead and splurge an git ya sum nice new 2.5" all the way to the back numbers - or go BIG and do SIDEPIPES!!! (Under...

Yep...when I changed mine (and rebuilt the calipers) FINALLY my brakes got tolerable. I always suspected that thing! BTW, it's just a BALL of fun getting all five of those snaked lines reattached! Absolutely get a set of good crow's feet "sockets" and a good set of line wrenchs and get...

I've swapped a few....depends on the application In white, with no colored lenses afterwards, they are brighter...in anything else they are brighter dead on, but put out less light - does that make any sense? I would not use them in main lights like brake lights or front parking lights if you...

So THAT explains it! The last owners put 82 styled nose and tail on mine...and the front spoiler did not get the finger of which you speak....wait...I meant...I didn't...I.... :L Anyhow, to try to direct more air, I added two adjustable bolts to near the leading edge of the deal, and some...

My problem with the cheapy glass filters (and similar clear plastic ones) Isn't the fear of breakage, which is a reasonable one, but they seem to LOVE to LEAK! I had lots of fun with them slightly unscrewing. On the other hand it was a nice problem finder - if the filter is empty, you ain't...

Exactly! Percentage matters, not raw numbers.... If you're in a marginal racer working with a baseline less than the L48 mine came with (long, long before I owned it), then 20 hp is a lot - even more in a hollowed out 2400 pound special waiting to disintegrate on the next pot hole. If you...

I dunno mon...... might be a catch...afterall, this door panel DID "work when last in the car"...... as opposed of course to those common garbage door panels which DON'T "work" once you put them in! ;LOL

Yeah - this was a spur of the moment thing Yeah, I know that door is open for some reason - whether malfunctioning from the mechanism or just bad seals. I've always know the lack of a rear gasket was the main motive force for the flood of 150+ degree air coming into the cabin. I had never...

OK, I'll stop whining for a day or two about my twice blown head gaskets then! (Although there is an ominous noise persistent for the last thousand miles the vette shop didn't think was bad from around #2 or #4....) Sorry guy - good luck on the salvaging. Post how much the sleeving of...

Was "fun" putting a GearVendors behind a T400.... Monster sawzall and tunnel rebuild job....still no ebake or seat belts yet. I would think the swap between the two, aside from a new driveshaft (shortening/lengthening/etc.) this shouldn't be too bad. I think the action of the shift linkage...

After my second heater core meltdown, I put two manual valves on all heaps I got two nifty SS 90 degree through valves on this one, but commonly use two cheapy regular brass/bronze ones. Both of mine are relatively close to the engine on this one to minimize length of hose to leak in the...

Yeah, mine's never had that... Never had one at all on this one. I'm sure when they replaced the hood they didn't bother. (I suspect I have the '82 style nose, ass, aftermarket hood and original lack of some interior parts - like rear interior quarter panels - are from a front-to-rear...

In the C4 forum & site lead in fender fans were mentioned on an alternator thread. I've been interested also in relocating tranny and oil coolers (and perhaps future a/c condensor and "futurer" intercooler) to the upper fenders, adjacent to the hoods, above the wheels and such, to free air...

Those Are Great!!! I need to see what all that equates to in the soup so far.... Do you think 18x8"s would have fit up front or would you have lost turning radius or had a "coincidental geometry issue"? I was going to ask about those Kumhos - they are half the cost of the Michelins or the...

My C3 is no better - on about the fourth.... ...been moving up in quality too. I treat them (and water pumps too) like tires and spark plugs - long duration replaceables. The one-wire conversions don't seem to offer any real advantages from what I can see either. My present one seemed to be...

I epoxied a layer of aluminum flashing on my box... ...over a patch where the heater box had actually degraded from the heat. It recently fell off. Next I am going to epoxy a layer of thermotec type fiberglass header wrap stuff like I used to insulate around my rear fiberspring and put a...

Although current feeling is all dry on head gaskets... ...especially copper ones, I've used a sorta similar stuff which does also serve as a sealant a little, although it's so thin it's shellac-like - and that's Copper Coat. I think it's also a Permatex product, but I can't recall. It...
