Clutch replaced a few months ago. Break pads replaced last year. New tires last summer. I dont like the stock(cheap) AC Delco installed 2 years ago. I am having them replaced by KYB or similar gas shock. I guess i am most concerned about stearing and wheels. I will also look at the fluids...

Anyone use the Corvette Paramedics in Mt. Holly, NJ? Good/Bad?

I'm approaching 100K miles on my 96 LT4. I am wondering what I should be looking out for, paying attention to and be concerned about at this time, aside from general maintenance, oil change, etc. I am keying on the front suspension at the moment as something to have checked out. Any...

I went and got Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires last summer. They are very good in the rain and EXCELLENT in the snow (I KNOW). But, for the money i spent on those tires, i could have gotten a decent "beater" to drive in the winter. Thats the choice i made. As far as dry traction, they are "ok"...

Recently, the ABS has been going off more than i think it should. This is more or less average breaking (some times over a small bump). Nothing extreme at all. I purchased new tires end of last summer (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S) and i'm not at all happy with them. I went with 255/45ZR17 front...

I have a slight tapping sound after the vette warms up and i come to a stop. It does not sound like a mechanical tapping. But more like if you took your finger and tap the exhaust with your finger nail. Its not a steady tap tap tap, but tapping/ping every few seconds. I cant tell if it is there...

I got up to 132 one time... that was pretty comfortable... no different than at 60. I think i would get nervous at +150's... everything happens so fast at that speed and any bump or pebble could send you flying out of control. The worst part is you think to yourself, "well, i'm at 125.... 130 is...

Confidence level improving Hi Shawn, congrats on the new LT4. They are great! Also consider the fact that after some time you are more comfortable with the car, feeling it out, knowing the shifter, etc. When I got my LT4 (also my first corvette), I was in AWE of it. I was hesitant (scared even)...

My plugs were melted.

I had the same issue as jmccloud. As i was looking for a break in the metal on the window, saw smoke from behind the driver seat head rest. Since i was doing this at night, i easily saw it against the little light there. I looked and the plug that connects the rear defroster to the window strut...

Has anyone heard or tried this technique? Tire sipping is cutting small slits in your tires to increase traction and grip. Is this ok to do? John

What a way put a smile on your face going to work! I saw new BRIGHT RED C6 Corvette this morning, passed right infront of me this morning while i was at a stop sign. The stop sign goes across this highway (Route 130, for those in NJ). And there was a long straight way for me to see it. I looked...

Pulled over 3 times, no tickets. Let my friend drive it once, speeding ticket. 1. Going up and down the local college strip, rev my engine a few times in front of the college bars, hot chicks, etc. cop comes out, follows me for a ways, a few miles away from everything, i go make a turn, lights...

Argh, this is the exact post i was interested in reading. I have the same problem. I have to refill that little container with break fluid about once every 1-1.5 months. its a pain to undo that computer thing and get my hands in there to unscrew the cap. I can tell when its low, as i have...

Hi all, Over the past 2 years or so, the paint on the hood and roof has noticably faded to a gray haze and swirl marks. I am unable to remove with polishing and waxing on my own. A coworker suggested i try his friend, he looked at it and gave me an est of $150-180 to detail and polish up...

I can never win. I got new tires, paid for them through my *** and i got home to check them out further and clean off the tires, and found my rims to be ALL gouged up, and scrapes on the outer area next to the tire. I guess to pry the tires out they must have used big metal bars or something...

I should have mentioned this earlier, I do not have the Z51 option. My rear tires are 285/40Z17. These are not the original tires. Previous owner must have replaced the stock front tires to 275 in front to improve performance. I know he drove it pretty hard. I want to reduce road wander. I use...

I'm not in favor of that badge. I don't want someone to know what i have under the hood... and extra 60 hp :) Thats also the reason i bought an LT4, you can not distinguise between standard LT1 auto's and our LT4s from the outside. Its whats under the hood that counts, not a little badge on...

I just wanted some other thoughts on this. I currently have Goodyear 275/40Z17 on the front. I will be getting new tires very soon. I found the OEM tires for the front are 255/45Z17. Can someone explain the reasoning to me, as to why a previous owner would have a larger tire in the front than...

Its seems like the big winners for shocks are KYB, Bilstien, and Edlebrock. I'm looking to get new shocks, tires and alignment... kind of all at once. I feel your pain about bad roads. I think roads in NJ have to be the worst in the country. Pot holes and constant construction.. everywhere...
