I'm looking for a decent C5 front center console & radio bezel. I need the ash tray door and the cup holder door and the temperature sensor trim panel as well. Thank you ! :w

Water threat ? I know that water isn't a problem, I just don't take it out in winter around December towards the end of the month, we usually get a storm, like a ice storm and then they go like all H&^% to put the salt down. Now the salt by itself is a problem, but a few days after and the...

Thanks Tom, Once I turned it on I couldn't turn it off ! And this Corvette is going to be driven every other day, no excuses, save for snow & salt, It's going to turning the wheels. The Corvette is just like money. My grandfather told me once, "Money is like a tool, treat it with respect, but...

You know people are sometime funny, it takes time to wake up. I bought this 2003 1SC 50th Anniversary coupe new, and I started to do things to it. All sorts of things upgraded headlights to sequential rear turn signals in back. I'd get out a wash and wax it and all the time thinking of what's...

Headlights issue ? Thank Tom , I missed use your name for Mac's, but thank you both. It's odd how a small accident can disrupt so much of your life. You cannot leave these cars sit for a month or two and expect things to be normal. I had to work the drivers side window switch a number of...

OK, It's offical I have a headlight problem ! Is this a job I could do on my own ? Does the whole headlight come out so the gear can be changed and do I pack it with some grease while it is being changed ? Thank you !

I've been ill for the last few, well the last year. And I took the C5 out today and of course the window didn't work, (I assume it's from non-use since it suddenly started work) but the one right side headlight goes up and down perfectly, but once down it continues to emit a loud buzzing sound...

I'm on my third replacement AC compressor, it the thin rotary style. They last about two years and then crap out. I'm getting to the point that my nuts and bolts are wearing out ? What do you do ? ;help

Sometimes you just don't get any luck . . . Yeah, It was a great race, but the Corvette team were playing catch up all the way through. But I wouldn't have all the victory to the Aston Martins, as Catbert put it so well, " The whole idea of the sanctioning bodies...

And come August ! This August the last week of the month I'm going to drive the "Blue ridge mountain parkway" once at the end, I'm going to pickup my brother in law in Nashville, TN and we're both going to see the Corvette Museum tour the plant next door. I still have to find out how I do this...

Wow ! I'm very impressed that the marketing folks hit the price nail right on the head on this C7. It makes a perfect transition from a Camaro SS Zl1 to a new Corvette. @ $51K for the base model. I paid $49.8K back in 2003 for my 50th Anniversary 1SC coupe. Sadly Chevy would only give me 17K...

Positive seal valve seals ? Do the heads need any machining to accept the 'Positive' seal valve seals instead of the 'Umbrellas' type seals ? Thank you Paul !

Valve stem seals . . . Ok Thank you Paul. I will check with my shop to see how they can go about changing the seals to Positive Seal, valve stem seals. I know the seals can be done in the car with the piston at the upper most position and air pressure or stuffing some plain old cloths line...

Heads rework ! Well Ok, but everyone has been telling the best way to go was a new set of Edalbrock aluminum replacement heads. The 'E' series heads will improve the combustion process as well. The 'E' series are designed as R&R OEM styled replacements? I'm not sure if this isn't a better way...

Thank you Hib, I didn't want to bother you with this little problem. most likely I'll have to replace the heads completely. I've been paging through a Summit Racing catalog. There are some really dirt cheap heads, they cost so much less that it is dumb to rebuilt the set I have. There is a...

Is there any damage done to the catalytic converter ? I have a daily driver 89 with 110.000 miles on it. It runs swell, but it has a slight problem with the valve guide & seals, upon start in the mornings, I get a slight buff of blue smoke. Once it warms up it's fine. And for the rest of the day...

One more question Sir ? Hay Hib, My 2003 LS1 came using Mobil-1 5W-30 which I have used since it's birth. But now GM has the "Dexos" line of oils, is there any sense in changing from a Mobil-1 product to a General Motors Dexos 5W/30 ? Thank you ! :w

Oil Additives ? OK, Thank you Hib ! :beer

Lubro Moly Mos2 Anti friction Engine treatment ??????? Hay Hib, What exactly is molybdenum-based additive ? And what does it do that say any 5w/30 premium motor oil would benefit from this additive? I know you wrote a great article on Motor oil, But I don't know how to access it right now. I...

Adding the un-needed ? Well I can't argue with common sense. Sometimes you see this kind of product and you wonder if it isn't something new and different. Not saying "New & Different" is in anyway "Better or Best" I feel that GM decided on Mobil-1 5W/30 I shouldn't second guess them, although...
