Hey vette boy,cool avitar. I just had to say good bye to my 11 yr old german shepherd last week. I'm still bummin...

I hear that! I don't usually debate folks about lowered cars,most never even tried. This thread started as a pic thread,i added a pic on page 1,but it's turning into a thread of excuses to why some don't like to drop their rides. I haven't heard one good reason not to yet. I have the same...

It already has a name "Corvette".Have vettes for 17 years now,c3,c4's and c5... never named any of them. Just modify and race em... After all,it is just a car.

When i clean mine,about every 6 months,i get the gasket set,remove t body,remove sensors,remove cover plate,soak for a while,rinse,reistall.The passages under the cover plate can actually get completly plugged up,and the IAC area needs alot of attention too.Since i live in hawaii,i took the...

Take a look at the air damn,it's on a hindge and rolls back when in contact with something. On my c5,i first trimmed the air damn,then lowered the car so much i just took it off. Hedders,high humidity,long waits in line at the race track,car never even threatened to over heat.... just saying.....

Lol... probably faster than most 60s muscle cars.As you know,the LT1 vette has well over 300 lb ft of torque,and a pretty flat torque curve compaired to "back in the day cars",and weighs alot less too.... I beat ALOT of chevelles,cudas,camaros and such at the track. Even more so from a 55mph...

cool.... vara-ram... LG longtubes,no cats o2 simulators,and a good tune. Car will kick ass. Thats what i did to my c5.Big difference. And don't forget the 19/20 inch wheel combo on a 3: drop...:cool

Are you're tires worn? Are you sure the stock gears are still in the rear end? I have a 275hp 89,with 3:07 gears,i can hammer it in corners and maybe just chirp a little,but never lose traction. I lowered my car 2 1/2 inches though. My c5 would bite hard when accelerating in a turn also,once...

Oh man,we were starting to get somewere. Thats cool,you gotta do what you gotta do... Must suck having to put a car up for any lenght of time.

When the key is on,there should always be power to the switch,if the switch is dead,try to test the 3 wires in the harness,just to verify theres power in the TPS wiring harness.

You'll only need the meter for the TPS switch,it's been a while since i had to check mine,but i think if you look closely at the TPS switch,(were the 3 wires coonect to the switch),it has a + and - symbol stamped in the plastic. But even if your not sure,it the meter will still read the mv's...

Good morning. Ya,since someone messed with the idle screw,you will have to check it,and most likely adjust it,then do the tps switch. Hopefully the car will stay running while you set the minimum idle,since the automatic trans car has to be set while in drive,it wouldn't hurt to have someone...

You could have shocks wearing unevenly,worn rubber throughout the rear end. As aboatguy said,the amount of threads showing on the spring bolts don't,and are rarely the same on both sides. The spring pressures are not exact on each side of the car,so one side might need more turns to even out...

Aloha, Curious as to what vendor you used,what motor you have,and you're thoughts after the install and drive. I'm either going to install a stroker block,do some head work and use a LT4 hot cam with r/r's. Or get a new crate motor like a ZZ4 or something. Mahalo for any input.

Ok, here the 2 procedures you need. Follow these instructions and everything will be dialed in,and we'll see if you have anymore issues after this is done. Good luck,hope the car runs cherry after this.. There are two electrical components on the TB that you will be working with: The TPS and...

No,the tan wire doesn't come directly off the distributor. The tan wire is over more toward the brake booster. It will store a code 42 in your ECM when you set the timing.

The 82 - 89 TPS switch needs to be set at .54 mv for the the ECM to read the throttle position. The switch is not like the LT1 non adjustable " auto-zeroing" TPS type.

Hey bro,sorry long day painting the car and some other parts. In the morning i'll post the min idle and TPS procedures. The wire you're looking for is not the distributor harness,but the single tan wire just off to the driver side of the distributor. It will set off you're check engine...

I can help you later tonite,hope thats ok,i'm walking out the door to start so custom paint work on my car,which is at a buddies house. Just for general info,the minimum idle needs to be checked and or set before the TPS is set. You'll need a multi-meter (digital) or a scanner.A paper clip to...

I've got 117,000 miles on mine,i drive it 60 iles a day to work and back,race it,entering SCCA next year,all new interior,water pump,a/c everything has been redone.I think i will put in a 383 stroker and make about 450hp... Just drive it...it's a car for crying out loud. Can always replace the...
