    Ahhhh... I was searching on ebay, not ebay motors. Maybe that was the difference. ;shrug Thanks for the link!!

    Anyone good at photo shop

    Hey Craig, This isn't great, but I didn't spend a lot of time on it. I had to make the rims black because I couldn't find a pic of the black rim. Well... you get the idea. :D That is definately the look I want.

    Looking For Wheels

    I saw your post after I made this thread. :hb DOH! I looked on ebay and only found the silver rims. I'll check again today and see what I can find. What search words did you use?

    Looking For Wheels

    I was getting some new tires put on yesterday and while waiting I asked the guy about wheels. I thought the ZR-1 wheels would look good on my Vette. :D He couldn't find exactly what I wanted... ZR-1 wheels that have the spokes powder coated or painted black. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    need sound clip for exhaust

    Hey Soggy, I finally got a sound clip of the Power Effects exhaust through stock manifolds on my 93 LT1. Click Here I video taped my Vette starting and giving it a few revs then saved the audio as an mp3. The quality isn't great but you can hear it okay. Here's Power Effects website...

    Drag Racing question

    You know... no matter how much anyone can tell you about the subject, someone else will have a different way to do it. There are many factors in setting a shift point. On any given day my shift point would change for my Malibu. I still say you need to be in the car and feel the motor... a...

    FYI...

    I like to think I am. :D It looks like the original spare and the jack was still in the original bag inside the spare. Amazing... 12 years old and like new. I love my Vette! :upthumbs

    Drag Racing question

    Well, your tires should still be warmed up from that 10 minute burn-out you did in the Baymont parking lot!! ;LOL :rotfl ;LOL I prefer to go with the torque peak, but I shift just before or at peak. A lot of racers "feel" the engine and know when it's time. That will help you when T&T'ing...

    FYI...

    Okay, I got lucky, but just in case some haven't taken the time to check a few things... I've had my Vette for about 1.5 years now and I've checked, repaired, and upgraded a few parts in that time. Well, I was driving to a computer job around 8 pm, doing 75 mph on the interstate and started...

    Key on Engine off, Alternator hum

    Call NAPA and ask them about the hum. I wouldn't mention the scantool to them, it may void the warranty. I can't see any reason for the scantool to affect the alternator. More like a weak triac in the alt.

    " service a.b.s light comes on ?"

    I had the same thing as Grizzly. Mine would also light up on hard acceleration. Fluid was only down about 1/8", I topped it off and no problem since. I would start there.

    92 is stumbling at takeoff

    I think you may be on the right track, perhaps in the egr system. Bad egr valve? egr valve gasket leaking?

    Body Flex w/ Top Out

    I've had my top out quite a few times and have never noticed anywhere near that much flex. Maybe the previous owner installed the vert. cross brace in mine. I need to get under the car and have a look. :D

    trans kits

    Yes, the harder shifts will put added stress on the u-joints. That's kinda obvious as well as most mods to your car will add driveline stress. If your Vette has quite a few miles, you might want to install new u-joints. There is always the possibility that it will shorten the life of the...

    Best of luck to you... and everyone in the path of hurricane Rita. My prayers will be with all of you.

    Anybody got some marshmellos?

    Hey Gerry... I really feel for you. That looks horrible and I'd have to say if it were me... I wouldn't be taking it a great as you seem to be. I am truly sorry for all you've had to go through in the past couple of weeks. I suppose you can say that it can only get better from here. :D...
