Ethan, The Last Detail is at - www.tld-corvette.com They want $370 for the Optispark. I agree with Rabbit. Call Jeff. He's a great guy and helps out all the Vette owners and gets you parts at dealer cost. He got me the speedo gears and sensor at a good price that was way better than I could...

I thought about this too. But one step further. Add an X-pipe in place of the resonator... I'll be really curious if anyone has done just the resonator. My understanding is that it doesn't impede the flow much. But it does reduce the pipe diameter inside so maybe you get a little more flow and a...

I agree with you Eagle. I mentioned that to Edmond when I recommended the SZ50s. I drive mine year round here in NC. And while winters aren't abusive I do end up driving the highway in 20-40deg weather. When they are stone cold they do handle different. Not sure that I find them dangerous...

Ok. I can live with that. Just can't afford to have the rear end apart right now. An hour labor and new seal is no biggie. When the guy installed the 3.54 gears I did buy the Master Install kit which came with a hadnful of new parts and seals. Not sure if that was part of it or not. I got the...

Ok thanks for the pic vetten94. I'll wipe everything down and drive the car a bit then check that area and take a close up pic like you did. I think I missed that spot. I may have overcleaned some areas Rick and threw you off the right track. Now I have it mostly cleaned up I'll just finish...

Re: Re: hood latches Me too ;) Over a year ago. No problems. Graham

Well here is a link to someone who did this on an LT1 and did dyno runs before and after. His dyno run says it does work. And it is not the only one I've seen that shows an improvement. Check out some of his other parts swaps and resulting dyno runs. Pretty good website...

Jeff, Got a question for you on reprogramming since you get into this area quite well. In my92 I added the Ed Wright chip and the 160 thermostat which he requires. Mainly because his off the shelf chip turns the fans on at 180 and off at 170. Now I'm thinking about pulling the 160deg stat and...

Ok. Good stuff guys. To answer some questions... The car is a daily driver and 5 days a week it carries my butt to work :D Sits most weekends. I got it on the pinion seal part now, i think. This seals the diff in the front where the drive shaft goes in to the pinion??? Looked at this really...

It would help if I actually sent the picture, duh... long day... :(

Here's a shot of the exhaust from the other side.

Second pic of the ABS/ASR area from a different angle.

Rick, No I haven't pulled that cover. I wasn't sure what would happen when I pulled it so I figured I would ask first. Never seen the inside of that box. Was hoping I never would ... I found my portable floodlight. So I crawled under and took some pics. I beleive I have them sized down enough to...

Ken, Do you mean the rear axle cover? If so yes. The guy that changed my gears did a good job from what I can tell. The rear axle area is clean with no oil. Rick, I've tasted fluids before by mistake, having my head in the wrong place, but never brake fluid... The consistency is definetely like...

I'm running the Performance Friction pads. Bought them at Autozone for about $125 for all 4 corners. I put them on almost a year ago and I'm quite happy with them. They do require a little warmup to get them to really grab hard. They dust up my buzzsaws on the front enough where you could wash...

Hey folks, I appear to have a fluid leak but for the life of me I can't find it. And all my fluid levels are good! Oil, trans, cooling, p.s., brakes are all at the full level. A couple of months ago I replaced my rear gear fluids (a messy job). And some did get on the exhaust pipes right before...

Awesome Chris! I've been thinking about redoing the front end with all new ball joints, tie rods, etc. and poly bushings. I think I follow what you're doing but I also think you've convinced me not to do it myself. I've never gone beyond simply replacing shocks... Great article though. Graham

Edmond, As long as you can you live with the price I'm quite confident you'll be happy with the tires. I searched all kinds of forums and looked at the tire rack surveys and the SZ50s just stood right out above the rest. I actually bought mine at a local Firestone dealer at a comparable price...

Edmond, I have the SZ50s (not the newer run flat version). I have nothing but good things to say about them. My only experience is with these and the factory GSCs. In comparisson I can assure you I won't spend money on Goodyear tires again. Given your driving habits you may want to consider the...

Would you be referring to this article? There are also others. Most of them blast FRAM as expensive junk. Their money goes into sales and marketing, not engineering and manufacturing... They also usually praise Mobil 1 as one of the best filters you can get...
