Have a nice set of chrome Z06 wheels with Kumho 245/45/17 SPTs in front and Kumho 295/35/18 MXs on the rears; non-runflats. Tires have between 5k and 10k miles of them. New style TPMS sensors are about 2 years old. Center caps have C5 logo decals. OEM sized front tires look a little stretched...

I use the same stuff that I use on the car's body - Zaino. Shines up really nice and helps keep brake dust off.

OP also said car stored 6-months a year. Car should be stored with a full tank. I don't think you need Stabil for the fuel but should be full tank. I also try not to go below 1/3 tank or park it more than a week with a low tank. Techron is a must - fuel system cleaner. I also use the Fuel...

Try speed.com for live streaming. I'm having problems with it though due to my old 'puter.

Vette in GT1 is European effort and I don't believe factory backed. Hope they win GT1 anyway. Vettes in GT2 are "official" factory backed effort. Hope they win too :upthumbs

Running up front 1-2, 1-3. Top qualifier Ferrari demoted to last on grid after wicker bill on spoiler/wing found too short giving it less drag on straights. Vetts supposedly getting only 16-17 laps per tank while Ferrari 17-18 laps. Maybe less now for Ferrari having to push hard to get to the...

Welcome... Is it a vacuum noise or is the fan on? There is a wiring packgae wrapped in a leather bag underneath the seats. Make sure all the connectors are connected. Other than that I have no clue. Enjoy :beer

I turn on the air between runs to get all the fans working with the engine running. Do you also open the hood? The term "heat soak" come to mind when you don't open the hood. If I have enough time between runs I will open the hood. Sometimes in smaller run groups there isn't enough time between...

Sorry no pics. Prefer Northern CA sale only; will not ship. Chrome C5Z06 wheels with Kumho tires: fronts SPT 245/45/17, rears MX 295/35/18 with less than 10k miles on them; probably closer to 5k. Wheels have nice chrome center caps with decal C5 logos. Chrome caps for stock lug nuts available...

Man you're going back into a really scary situation between the two Koreas. South is smug knowing it has the full backing of the good ole' US of A. The North has a crazy dictator. Two many itchy trigger fingers. Stay safe. Watch your 12 and your six and everything else in between.

Take her for a drive, then take HER for a drive:D

If you use a leaf blower make sure its not one of those combination vacuum/blowers which could retain vacuumed materials to shoot out onto your painted surfaces. A while back I picked up a small electric blower which had a conical rubber tip at a Kragen store. You'd be surprised how many times...

The top on my '07 was "popping" which I fixed by putting electrical shrink wrap on the two front alignment posts. Seamed to correct the problem.

Welcome to CAC and Corvettes. Never owned a Mustang although always wanted the Mustang in Bullitt (saw that movie first run so that tells you how ancient I am).:beer

:upthumbs Too bad this smilie can't show 2 left thumbs. The last time I did my own brake job was back in the '80s on my 70-something Ford station wagon tow car (for my SCCA Solo II FP Fiat X1/9). Needed help on that one too. While I may be willing to tackle the job myself, the one who controls...

After 46k miles on my 2001 M6 Coupe and a 2k road trip coming up I thought it was about time for new brakes. Found a set of slotted & dimpled (not cross drilled) rotors AND semi-metallic pads for $409 shipped. A little bling to add to my mostly stock C5. So my question is: aside for the...

I think that the driver in the ricer with the fart-can wants a vette. He sure came close enough to me as he farted by on the freeway. He probably thought "do I have to be that old to drive a vette" ;LOL

I think the best way to attract the younger crowd are the below $20k C3s, C4s and C5s. One can get a LOT of car for that $20k ceiling. Most kids think that Corvettes are "un-obtainium" for their price range. Yes it may be prohibative insurance wise but most cars would be anyway for that age...

With that mileage I'd think that anything that would break has broken by now and has been replaced/repaired. Maintenance items if taken care of when needed would have been through many cycles. $6k for a '97 C5? Sounds good to me:cool

I think I'm the only one on this thread with a VW Bug for a first car. 1959 with an oval rear window. This was in about 1967 and the bug was already starting to rust over from the tropical weather in the Philippines. Engine was 1100cc if I remember correctly with probably 35hp. Changed out the...
