    PVC Oil Catch Can Install, with Pics, Dial Up No Way

    The braided fuel line is a real nice inexpensive high performance touch.... I would never have thought of that! Looks great. :beer

    Repair of AM/FM Radio w/ Cassette Radio

    The bulbs in the C4 Bose are fairly easy to replace, and I would suspect that the C5 Bose is not that much different internally. As long as it is a warrany repair, I'd smile happily and take the brand new radio! :D If it was non-warranty I'd grab the soldering iron and take a look.

    Redneck engineered top rack

    I needed a way to store the spare top and could not determine how securely the ones in the catalogs actually held the top. I did determine that they were pricey. Since the top would be in a storage room, appearance was not a factor. So, here's my redneck engineered $1.89 top storage rack. A...

    6-Shooter - Clay Bar - Oh My!

    Jane Ann, I keep a misting bottle full of a water/Zaino mix in the garage and take it on the road. Squirt it on the front end when you stop and it will make the bugs much much easier to get off. Bug guts actually contain an acid that can eat into the clear paint coat, I have been told, and the...

    Put It Away for the Winter??

    What she said.... It stays in the garage during the winter rains mostly because it violates the Corvette Code to drive it dirty :nono and the carpet stains easily. Ah, but when the sun comes out it's on the road.

    Soundproofing Mod

    Thanks for the info. I'll skip blocking it. I sure hope this insulation actually helps, or the RunCraps are going to be history very soon!

    Soundproofing Mod

    I just started installing the ExoticVette insulation kit in the back of the C5 and found what has to be a major source of noise intrusion into the cabin: the vent behind the driver side wheelwell. I assume this is to allow air to escape similar to the old AstroVentilation and prevent wind...

    C6 Didn't Wave

    Remo, you should have just dropped your foot and waived "bye-bye" instead of "hi fellow enthusiast".

    Chrome lug nuts??

    I've never had a problem with the chrome plastic covers, on the C4 or the C5, and both sets were reinstalled numerous times. Not one has cracked, nor had peeling chrome, nor loosened. The secret is not to over-tighten. Use a deep well socket and turn it snug. They will split fairly easily...

    Rear Ended "I wasn't paying attention".....

    :nono Get it fixed right or those slight scratches will jump out at you every time you walk around the car. A lot of shops will write in the impact panel without actually taking the rear panel off, then reduce their charge if it is OK..... and you come out ahead for your trouble. A good shop...

    Convertible Blues!

    Looks like a 1-roll job for duct tape. :L I had the front of the acrylic top separate from the C4 targa frame on a road trip. 1/4 of a roll took care of it, and the car looked good with silver top. LOL

    Jumping a C5 Battery

    Here's excerpts from a magazine tech tip that I saved a few years ago. I don't know if it does apply to the C5, but it does to many late model vehicles. To be safe I never jump start with the charger on, or from a running vehicle. Better safe than sorry. "When I went out to start the car, it...

    Tail light seals...an easy mod...

    No need to get testy, Dude, not trying to hijack anything. I had a valid question I thought, but apparently absolutely no deviation is allowed in your threads.
