Ken, I thought that was a bad idea because it lets rain easily get into the top the engine compartment and firewall. I get the impression that the seal is there for stopping things from getting in, not out. I'll bet it does help with the cooling some though. At my last autox I popped the hood...

Magmotor, Thanks. You're right for $20 that doesn't hurt too much. I tried it before with static cling and the roll stuff but didn't have a piece big enough and the curve was just too much to deal with. Hey Len, Oh you'll be seeing me come Sep for the run up to Helen and the Dragon :Steer So...

I bought both of the static cling pre cut shades from MAD a couple of years ago. The dark film doesn't do as good a job as the one with pinholes in it. Mainly the dark one lets you see out of the roof and just makes it darker tinted. The one with the pinholes is a grey colored sheet. You can't...

I'd love to get the hatchback tinted. That has to help with the temp in the car when you're driving and parked. When I leave mine parked in the summer it's like an oven in there when I get back. Way too much glass. The laws here are pretty strict about tinting and you have to pay extra come...

I've been working on this idea for about 6 months now. I have a bullet style fan and wired it up. I've tried ducting with limited success. But I have found a couple of places to mount the fan. Still more experimenting. What I noticed was you want to suck the air out of the engine compartment...

Ken, I just jumped offline before you asked but it looks like you hit the right one. Yes, I took the one in plain sight. There was just enough room moving the bar to loosen it before the bar hits the upper radiator hose. Not a big deal to replace at all. Now my daughters Grand Am, well that is...

Ken, (fretwire3d) I just replaced the belt on my92. I never found the 1/2" drive sqaure hole that is refered to in the tensioner. But the hex nut on the tensioner was easy to get at with a belt replacement bar and a socket on it. I forget the socket size. The bar came with sockets and claws so...

Maybe they can't ignore the safety stuff but they blew me off on the optispark for my92. My car VIN # is in the range of the recall. The warranty person at the dealer said it was in the range and to schedule to replace it and she ordered the optispark. I took the car in and got a call a few...

Ah yes, Eau d'90 Weight. What an awesome manly cologne. With the leak on the pipes and a couple of dabs behind the ears and you'll be just catching the women like flies :L I had the gears swapped out a little over a year ago. Everything was fine until a couple of months ago. Then the leak...

I just replaced the front rotors on my92. These are the 12" rotors. I bought slotted + cross drilled from NAPA for $95ea. They are actually Raybestos BruteStop rotors. Just go to NAPA website and look them up. They had mine from the warehouse next day. I didn't have to pay any shipping. So far...

If you want to see what the Magnaflows look like on a 92 coupe check this thread I started. Just as a note. I took them off because they resonated in my car way too much for me. Graham http://corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=13745&highlight=magnaflow

Ok we all see the "What's your favorite pad?" post come up monthly. Now I'm more interested in a comparisson of types of pads and application. You can throw in your favorite brand name if you would like. For example: Ferro-Carbon, Carbon-metallic (semi-metallic), Ceramic, etc... Wear, noise...

Re: Dynamat installed John, Couple of questions. How much does the Dynamat Xtreme cost? Sheet size? How much did you use and where did you put it? Graham

The leaf blower works fine. I use the water blade for a quick pass to get the bulk. Then the chamois. Then a leaf blower on slow speed. Not only do you get water out of the channel in the hatch. You can get the excess out of the door handles, all the side molding, tail lights, headlights...

Rob, I answered some of your question in response to your other shock post. The Sport/Z51 shocks are about 20% stiffer. Requires no mods to install. They line up just fine and use your original bolts. Your old ones require a small wrench or vise grips on the top of the shock to loosen the nut...

I got the switch too a year or so back. Personally it's not worth the $100. I spent $150 for an Ed Wright (Fastchip) and noticed a much better improvement. All the switch does is fool the ECM by bumping the voltage on the TPS so that at 2/3 throttle it appears like full throttle. The chip would...

Well I followed (rrubel) rich's advise on the vendor and went to www.suspension.com Very nice guy and helped me out. I got the sway bar bushing kits with end link bushings for front and back. Energy Suspension bushings. Cost was about $35. I managed to get the bar bushings on without too much...

I was bottoming out on some dips in the road, off ramps, and a couple of other choice areas I have to travel over. There was no oil leaking but the shocks were simply tired. Probably all that weight sitting on them for 10+ years... My 92 came with the base suspension (FE1). Those are Bilsteins...

Larry, The part that connects the tranny to the rear axle is called the driveline support beam. It's a long C beam that runs alongside of the driveshaft. When they did the ujoints they probably pulled it and then didn't torque it back down. That part truly ties the front of the car to the back...

Jeff, Just pop the pressure cap on the top reservoir in the morning before you start the car. Siphon off a little if the reservoir is full. Add your Water Wetter. It'll get into the system just fine. Don't put it in the overflow jug down in the fender area though. It'll probably never make the...
