    They look great Tom. Who'd you get them from? I've been thinking about them, myself.

    G Meter in HUD

    I agree. I'm in SW burbs of Chicago and I would be skeptical of anything that isn't a run flat too. Seeing how GM in their infinite wisdom decided no jacks or spares. Although I can't see where they could put them....LOL! I also like the Mich's but they are pricey. Maybe, I'll start...

    G Meter in HUD

    Thanks Tom. Mine is stock too except for the K&N air filters and a Corsa exhaust. How do you like the 'Stones? Which ones do you have and how do you like them compared to the original Goodyears? I will eventually need to replace mine and the Goodyear's and Mich's are mighty expensive...

    G Meter in HUD

    I recently bought a 2005 C6 that has a HUD with a G-meter. She has the F55 magnetic selective ride suspension with Goodyear F1 Run-Flat's. What would be the LIMIT on the G-meter before "loosing it." I realize there are a million variables involved but do any of the "experienced" guys here...

    Help! 91 starts to miss when at operating temp

    Check the pick-up coil in the distributor. They have been known to cause the issues you are describing. VERY COMMON! Check the resistance with an ohmmeter. There shouldn't be much difference between cold and hot values. Google it or check a FSM for exact values. You don't have to...

    Tires...

    I have BFG, G-Force Sport Comp 2's at 275-40ZR17's all the way around on my '90 C4. I love 'em. The stick well in the appropriate weather and she corners like an Indy car. They aren't too noisy either(compared to my former Kuhmo Exsta's). The tires are also reasonably priced and seem to wear...

    89 alarm

    If you disconnect the ground from the battery for a minute. "Sometimes" the vats will reset so the alarm won't sound. To little too late....I'm sure. Betcha the wife was "pissed." But.....That is a good way to keep her from driving the Vette.......ROFLMAO! I can picture it in my...

    89 alarm

    I have a '90 which is a bit different. Once the VATS(alarm & vehicle antitheft system) is activated, the starter won't crank and the fuel pump wont energize to pump fuel to the engine. As well as the horn and lights going. Plus you MUST de-activate the VATS with the door key. There are...

    horn not working

    When the part gets old they get brittle and break. Don't waste your time with it. Dorman makes a replacement piece that is available at all major parts stores. I bought one at Car Quest. $3.95 I think. All you have to do is pull the steering wheel. Change out the turn signal cam while you...

    Oversized self tapping drain plug?

    Try replacing the gasket on the drain plug. If there isn't one on there, get one. Car Quest has them. A self tapper should be the last resort, before pulling the pan. Also,...Dropping the pan is a JOB. It's NOT gonna just fall out of there. You have to jack the engine off of the mounts...

    Help! tach inaccurate?

    There is a resistor in the tach IC that goes bad. I've had to do the repair and it works like a charm. You will need to take the circuit board out of the dash and solder in resistor(s) of a specific value in a specific location. I had a local TV repairman I know do the board repair on mine...

    horn not working

    When you push the horn button do you hear a faint clicking of the horn relay inside the car? If Not, check fuses first. If so, see if you are getting power to the horns themselves when you push the horn button. You'll need a test light or a voltmeter. They are in the nose on the outside of...

    Help! T10's from Fuel Pressure Regulator.... Need to replace

    The T10 tamper-proof screws are about 3/8" long. You can probably get them at Home Depot or the like. Also Google T10 screws. They don't have to be tamper proof. There's a lot of them on E-Bay too. If the regulator is suspect(to be bad) check out Corvette Central (.com) and replace the...
