they definitely looked different, i couldn't tell if he fabbed them himself...i'd love to know. yeah, the vette stayed home today and will be inside for the next few days (it's snowing as i write this). i owe it some shelter after bringing it out in the terrible weather last friday. i miss...

i second rrubel. all my manuals say the same thing. 1. + on dead battery 2. + on live battery 3. - on live battery 4. ground on dead car

the only manual i know of for the c5 is the official shop manual. it's a 3 volume set and runs about 150 bucks. i couldn't seem to find a chiltons or haynes, but i haven't looked too hard.:)

i was driving home from work today and was behind a black c5 that had some kind of aftermarket exhaust. it had three tips on each side. does anyone know what this is.:confused i'm really curious.

this is a very good post!!! vettedude73, that's a scary story. it's good that you posted it, so people will think twice and be very careful when jump starting.

mike, got your e-mail. my blackwing didn't come with instructions either. here's a link to some instructions that i found http://www.melroset-tops.com/blackwing_install.htm the install was really quite easy. you pretty much just need remove the old box and slap the blackwing in...

i think a good quality window tint is next for me.:beer

cool.:cool what was the most difficult part? carpet removal?

thanks c4c5, that really simplifies things.:)

don't know the answer to most of your questions, but i can tell you that it's possible to jack the rear onto rhino ramps. i do it all the time since i don't like trying to back the car onto them.:beer

check out www.ls1howto.com. they've got some good stuff on removing the intake manifold. c4c5 -- can this be done without disconnecting the fuel line???

if you've got the money, slap a supercharger on it.:cool otherwise, headers, hi-flow cats, a good set of mufflers, new air filter/air box system and an intake manifold will get you on your way. although, you probably won't get to 400hp until you get inside the engine (heads, cam etc) the list...

i installed the blackwing. i'm very happy with it. the install was easy and i noticed a nice little seat of the pants increase. i totally recommend it.:cool

this was my first mod. i love it, it's like getting your freedom back.:beer

look at it this way. take all the mods that she needs to put on one of her imports to make it respectable and put the same mods on your vette (nos, s/c etc.) then run them together...NO CONTEST.:cool

i went through the same questions about wax when i bought my c5. finally, i decided on zaino and i absolutely love it. it's easy to use and the layering effect is really cool (you'll get addicted to putting more and more coats on). the car looks awesome and really holds it's shine for a long...

here's a picture.

here's where it is on my 98...don't know if it's different on the 99. take a look at the engine and from the top, above where it says "corvette" on the drivers side you'll see a little cut away in the plastic cover. the cutaway is where the regulator is. it's about the size of a small shot...

this is a great mod...totally worth the small price. the fact that light continues to come on is cool with me...it reminds me why i installed the mod in the first place. good luck.

the only mod i've done so far is a donaldson blackwing intake and i'm very happy with it. i could feel a slight performance and response increase. i'll be buying some corsas in the near future and perhaps headers and high flow cats in the distant future. the blackwing was $200 and i'm...
