nicare, welcome to the cac:CAC. i'm totally with you on this one. i've had my cags bypass for a few months and love it...you're right, it really lets you concentrate on the enjoyment of driving the vette, instead of worrying about the cags all the time. my previous vette was an auto and...

thanks for the info. i'm going to head up to carlisle on the 23rd and hope to get lucky and find the exhaust up there...no shipping charges this way. i really like the way they look too, and i'm not really looking to go much louder than stock. i also love the fact that they're titanium...

ferl -- welcome to the cac. i have a 98 six speed and it's awesome. i have not done any mods to it at all, but probably will be doing some soon. i'm a fan of all corvettes, and all c5's for the matter. it really depends on how much you want to spend...newer is always nice, but if you want to...

hey snow, i'm totally excited to see this post:J :J. i just put up a question in the c5 mods forum asking about putting zo6 exhaust on a 98 c5, since i'm considering this very same modification. it sounds like you're really impressed. did you buy the mufflers used? how's the...

i'm in the very early process of planning an exhaust upgrade on my 98 c5. i'm torn between corsas or saving a few hundred and going with the zo6 exhaust. has anyone put the zo6 exhuast on an ls1? did it make any difference? how was the sound? should i fork out the extra 300 bucks for the...

ken -- would the 454ci that your refer to be accomplished by taking a small block engine (ex. 350) boring the cylinders and using large volume heads? so. since the 350 falls into the small block catagory, am i to understand that there is no such thing as a 350 big block? i have a friend who...

stupid engine question for years i've always heard people talking about "big blocks" and "small blocks". particularly the chevy "350 small block". my question is, why the small/big designation? is there actually such thing as a "350 big block"? what makes an engine a big/small block? any...

vettegirl, i have a 98 and the rpo codes are on the left hand storage lid. remove it, flip it over and you should see your codes.

i'm still trying to figure out what to use on my car. so far, i've clayed it using the mother's kit which included some cleaner/wax. i'm looking for a good paint cleaner to use followed by a good wax. slrocke -- can you get the 3m products at auto stores or do you have to go directly to a...

frc99 -- thanks for the reply. which zaino products did you buy?

ok, i've decide to give zaino a try. i've been reading nothing but good things about it, and would like to see the results for myself. a few questions: what do i really need to buy to get started? i don't want to go overboard and buy the whole product line ($$$$$), i just want to start with...

missmoneypenny, check out gmpartsdirect.com. i just bought mine there for $44 which included shipping. much cheaper than ecklers...they wanted sixty-somthing for theirs. painting it will run you between 40 and 80 bucks.

official gm manual for 1986 vette. i'll even throw in a chiltons to go with it. $70 or best offer. email tom at: tomls1@earthlink.net

since my last post, i've checked out several other body shops. highest was $80 and the lowest was $40. i think the guy at the first place was really trying to yank me. maybe when someone comes in with a corvette, they "assume" that you're willing to spend more money, and try to take advantage...

i'm hearing a lot about satelite radio and the concept sounds really cool. however, i don't plan on getting anytime soon, because i can't get used to the idea of paying $10 per month for radio. i know your question was directed to people who already have satelite, but i thought i'd throw in my...

thanks jay, i'll check out the dealership.

i just got a paint quote from a local body shop for the license plate cover and they wanted $140:eek :eek :eek. i didn't realize that doing this myself was an option. can someone post what's involved in painting this myself. i'd hate to pay that much to paint a $36 part. any info would be great.

i use something called "the absorber". it's a synthetic chamois. i've had much better luck with this thing then the natural chamois.

what do you prefer, and why?

looks good! i've been thinking about doing my calipers. what kind of paint did you use? did you remove the calipers when you painted them?
