    C4 The Most Maligned Model?

    C4 disrespect ? Not really sure about the C4 being a disrespected, The 82 & 84's weren't overly cheered when the were released, But the high water mark in corvette production only happened twice, 1. with the 1979, it was the heaviest and the sales leader at a shade over 53807 units, and the 84...

    Help! Rear Tail Light Problem

    Bulbs ? Pretty sure you have a burned out bulb which would make the side it's on flash oddly. I'd pickup a set of four 3057 or 3157, If I'm not wrong their wedge type bulbs. Once you have a fresh set of bulbs in there, you can make a better decision, and make sure the front turn signals and...

    Question: Finally finished my spring project !

    Wood vs. Carbon fiber ? Well i only added a tiny amount , my thinking like yours was don't go too far. I think if you rode in my car you'd see the color reconfiguration is not overwhelming. Just like all the mods I've done, only so much and don't go crazy with it. On the other hand I've seen...

    Question: Finally finished my spring project !

    And this is the END ! Thank you both, This took since April, but it was done so well by the shop in Texas, the wait was worth the wait. I've tried to do only so much so it isn't overkill. The 50th. Anniversary model is different than the stock interior but not by much. So I had to work on...

    Question: Finally finished my spring project !

    I started with a small upgrade of my 2003 th. Anniversary coupes interior. (You can only take so much 'Shale') But the upper sections at first glance are gray plastic, but upon closer view, you'll see it's not gray it's more of a Brown/Gray mix. So I swapped out the shifter boots for the...

    Question: What is the part number or type of the electrical connector @ the Gas door release ?

    I thought it was GM Part # 12167129, ACO: PT795, but I just got it in the mail and this is not the same part. This connector has 5 wires that insert into a switch, but my 2003 Corvette has a inner gray connector that only has two wires and it has a black jacket connector that snaps onto the gas...

    Grandsport Brake Dust

    Brake dust and everyday driving? :dance I agree, Last fall I switched to a full set GM performance parts 'Drilled & slotted rotors and Hawk ceramic brake pads, and I do notice the dust collection factor is cut about in half. But I only put about 5 thousand miles on my 2003 a year, and I'd...

    Question: I read @ the national Corvette museum. . . .

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Speculatively Animated

    C7 ? Well price is subjective, but styling is what bridges the gap between price and styling. IF, people like the styling, than they tend to lean a little more toward the Car as it seems to grow on them style wise and the price diminishes in their eyes. But if both the styling & price rub them...

    2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Speculatively Animated

    2014 Vette ? Looks like another sexy, slick, overpriced, hi-power Camaro. Might as well go all the way and skip the fiberglas, and just stamp them out of steel body. Seems like each new platform gets a little further away from the original Corvette in both style and price. :eyerole...

    Ethanol free fuel

    Gasoline today ? You guys make some very interesting points. As I read them I have to think back last week I was having breakfast at the local small town kitchen, and a fella was in with his wife. He's a farmer from OK, visiting his grand children and he told me that his corn crop is so...
