forgive me if this is a dupe...i tried searching and couldn't find anything along these lines.:) i'm wondering if it's worth it to replace my original cats with hi-flows. i'm not ready to do the headers yet, but i'm wondering if i'll get an hp increase by just replacing my old 70,000+ mile...

today when i was washing the car, i tried to move the passenger side mirror and the spring inside popped out of place. i removed the whole thing and it appears that there's a little metal clip that holds the spring in place. the tricky thing is that you have to compress the spring (very stiff)...

today my fuel guage started acting funny. it was at 1/2 and then suddenly dropped to empty. when i filled up it only took 8 gallons.:( i've been researching on the cac all morning and realize that the problem is probably my sending unit. my dic is giving me a code 1431. my question is...

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.

i've been looking at corsas lately and i'm probably going to get some in a few months. i really think the tigershark tips look awesome, but they're considerably more expensive. is appearance the only advantage, or am i missing something? does anyone have the tigersharks installed? how do you...

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...

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...

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...

there's a possibility that my differential is the cause of a clunking noise coming from the rear of my car. i'm planning on changing the fluid and i'm curious as to what people are using on their c5s (gm standard, redline etc);shrug . i understand that there's a posi additive that i need to...

has anyone had any problems with u joints in their c5? i'm getting a slight clunking/clucking/clicking noise in the rear of the car when i first pull away. any thoughts?;shrug i remember the u joints on my c4 went bad, i'm wondering if this is common on the c5.

i've heard that if you remove your wheels, it's important to torque them to proper specs when putting them back on. the specs for my c5 are somewhere in the 100s...the craftsman torque wrench that i got for christmas only goes to 75. so i'm wondering how important proper torque on wheel lugs...

i haven't had my vette for very long and today i had the opportunity to wash it. when i got done and started to pull the car into the garage, i noticed that my left foot was slipping all around on the aluminium clutch pedal. the bottom of my shoe was wet from washing the car. has anyone else...

i need to buy some jack pads. i've noticed a few different ways to go...plactic, steel, an insert that replaces the tray on a hydraulic jack. has anyone had any experience with any of these? any advice would be appreciated:cool :cool

part lt1 part lt4 it turns out that the 96 ce with engine rebuild that i'm looking to buy has an lt1 block in it. i talked to the shop who did the work and they said that lt4 blocks are not readily available (gm wouldn't sell him one), so he used an lt1 block. i'm trying to get peoples...

test drove an lt4 today...96 ce. awesome car!!! and fast too...eric, you know what i'm talking about:eek. thanks to rob and eric for coming out to look at the car with me. i think i'm gonna buy it, the only problem is an oil leak. anyone know of any known issues with lt4's and oil leaks??? tom

ok, what do y'all think of this. i found a 96 ce lt4 with about 75,000 miles on the car. apparently, the engine was rebuilt about 3000 miles ago because of a "spun bearing":confused. should i run from this, or is it a positive thing, or does it not make a difference. i guess there's a lot of...
