If anyone has one and wouldn't mind running this for me. I'm looking at the car Sunday and all the picks I have from the guy look great. It was a weekend cruiser and babied from the looks of it. VIN# 1G1YY12S115119138 Thanks in advance if you can help. Graham

A friend is willing to sell me some new rims dirt cheap. They are black powder coated rims for a 97-99. Non-directional, 17x8.5 front 18x9.5 rear. They are still in the orignal boxes. Will these fit properly on my92 without spacers? Clearance? Etc? I want to get new tires to put on them and...

In 89 they went to the 275/40-17 tire setup just like my92. Are the rims from an 89 able to be put on a 92?? Offset and all that ok? I have the base coupe. Thanks, Graham

Has anyone replaced the lower ball joints themselves. My92 has a bad one on the passenger side so I want to replace both. Difficult? Do I need special tools? If it's no biggie to do can I get the alignment reasonably close by measuring the threads when I install it so I can drive it to the...

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...

I've got a few questions regarding mixing suspension parts... I have the base "soft ride" suspension on my92. The car has 90K on it and it is all original suspension parts. 1st - I'm looking at the Bilstein Sport shocks. I think the car comes with ones listed as HD. The Sport are supposed to be...

Hey folks, This has been discussed from time to time and I thought I'd post what I have done incase someone is interested. I'm running the SLP Cold Air setup (used to be called Triple Threat). It's basically 3 tubes that have a K&N cone filter on each tube. Those mesh into a big tube that...

Just an interesting little aside on thermostats. I have a 160deg stat in my car. And the car will actually run at about 165deg with it. This seems reasonable. Now if I put my 180deg factory stat in the car runs at 195deg +/-2deg. So I was curious why. I had the factory one on the shelf so I...

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...

Hey folks. I own a C4 so I wasn't much help with a friend trying to figure out what her C3 is worth. So I was kinda hoping you C3 owners might help me with a number here. The details I have so far are this: 1976 corvette, auto trans, 31,000 original miles, 2 owners since new. Mechanically in...

Well I got my Magnaflows installed last night. These are the ones for the 92-96 LT1/4 cars. Not a catback. No resonator. Mufflers are all polished stainless steel with a single 3" inlet and 2 twin tips coming out. They look great. Welded in place. Initial feeling is they sound really good. At...

I have a small dilemna here. I have about $500 I can spend on the exhaust. So my plan for the Corsa is out. So I've looked at 1 of 2 options. 1. Magnaflow mufflers. The ones specifically for the 92-96. Polished, look real sharp. I hear mixed opinions on how loud and how much resonance. Ragtop...

Hey gang, Does anyone have a picture of the thermostat for an LT1? I know it is different from a conventional thermostat. So what does it look like? I went to Autozone and they said I can get a 180deg stat for my car. They call it medium temp vs the factory 195deg stat. Their price was around...

Hey gang, I was winding up the Vette the other day and got an interesting little problem. I was doing some launchig tests :L Engine is all warmed up. Disable the ASR. Leave the car in Drive. Run the throttle to about 2Krpm while holding the brake pedal. Let it go and then punch it. Screams the...

Ok, seeing as how this comes up a bit with "What is the speed/rpm with a given gear?" Here's the answers I got when doing the math for my gear change. Assumption: Tire Diameter = 25.7in (275x40/17), Drive Ratio is 1.0, Overdrive Ratio is 0.7 (this is for an auto of course). 5400rpm is max with...

Not sure if this is supposed to be in the Technical Forum but it is for C4 Vettes. I just bought a Dynamic Lettering Kit from MAD. It's in their new parts section. The catch with these letters in they become reflective at night when headlights hit them. I wanted to put lettering inside the...

I just found this rear window louver for C4s. Anyone seen this thing, especially on someones car? It's made by Astra Hammond. First time I've ever seen one for a C4 Vette. I think this hyperlink below will work...

Ok I did a search of the forum and didn't find anything. Is anyone hiding out there running the Magnaflows? I'm hearing some good things about them for quality, sound, and performance. A local dealer can replace my old LT1 tubs with some of their polished stainless or regular stainless for a...

Hey folks, I've run into a problem with the cooling fans. This is strange. After getting my rear gears swapped we used the original speed sensor which was a bad idea. So I get a SES light with code 24. That makes sense, Vehicle Speed Sensor. We're putting the right one in this week. Now at the...

Well I finally decided and all the parts are ordered and on the way to the shop. I'm having an outfit down in Charlotte do the gear swap. They have a good reputation and Vette, Camaro, Firebird with LTx and LSx is all they do. I have the factory 2.59 gears in the Dana 36 w/auto trans. I decided...
