    Shinoda start

    I'd think I'd go with the square ones Larry designed so the valance area is more seemless and flowing...just my 2 cents!:beer

    Shinoda start

    Cant wait to see your kit installed! Larry was a GREAT designer whose work was elegant and underappreciated by the masses. Perhaps its poor marketing on his part but his work is YEARS ahead of Greenwood and similar tacky body kits and I wish there was more of it around. When Larry saw the c5...

    Installed painted air intake box on 84 crossfire!!!

    Now where every would you have gotten THAT idea?:chuckle Is that an old pic? Have you had time to do the valve covers yet? I'm still working on using the 82 covers to match the CFI lid...I just dont like these Edelbrock ones I have on...too square...or the OEM 84 since the vanes/fins dont...

    HELP! No front targa top bolts?????

    Has anyone had access to the car? Service dept? Inspection? Kids? Friends who do pranks? Ex wife?;LOL They just simply DO NOT fall out on their own! BTW, is it a Thompson Astro top? They are JUNK! So maybe it CAN fall out! Since it IS Joisey....tick anyone off who might be sending a message?!!

    Help! C4 Rear Speakers are Reversed now, BOSE System

    I'd just switch the rear right and left wires. Whatever works... and not be persnickity about diagrams being "correct"!:w

    C4 Frame Brace delayed

    I was under the impression that most people were not persnickity and would use a little common sense in understanding that one might perhaps have meant to say you would lose LESS ground clearance than the OEM convertible one or current aftermarket R&D Cross-Brace CROSS-FRAME, R-D Racing:eyerole...

    lights wont turn off

    Each door panel light does have a switch that lets them operate independently as map lights. Its possible each switch is faulty but its also unlikely that both would fail at the same time. The switches themselves can be repaired or...

    well that was painless enough

    Couldnt find the C4 on the site either ;shrug Odd fact about the Bugatti Veyron they mentioned on Top Gear. It cost $2 million to produce each copy but sold for only $1 million.

    Doors frozen and stuck shut

    Hot water should get them unstuck. Safer than those chemical de-icers:w

    so tired of ppl asking me why i dont drive a newer vette

    I ususally reply because despite being very well engineered they are extremely ugly! Sometimes people then say that THEY like them. And then I say thats another reason I wouldnt buy one;LOL

    C4 Sunroof Repairs

    Broke the corner that goes in the holder in the hatch? I did the same thing. I did "fix" it myself using a glue made for acrylic/plexiglass I found in a marine shop. I never did get it to look perfect but it didnt look too bad and held up for 5-6 years until I bought a new roof (do NOT buy a...

    Towing and Driving in snow/ice

    Its really sad that most people dont even know how to drive rear wheel cars in snow anymore. We did it in the 70's and 80's all the time. You just have to plan ahead or "aim high in steering" :-) Know what the BIGGEST reason we younger folk (being kind to myself here) dont like cruises and...

    Wrong EGR-_Just discovered!

    Congrats on still having your wife around :upthumbs...so now you have time to get back to "servicing the mistress", eh?;LOL I know they did discontinue then change the part# for the EGR for the 84 so no big surprise you accidentally got a Canadian one as Autozoners are not much better than...

    Towing and Driving in snow/ice

    Maybe not old fashioned chains with stock tire sizes....however I've used Traction Cables for 17 years with OEM size and driven in all sorts of conditions. The front end actually acts like a snow plow in deeper powder...and the cables shoot a "Rooster Tail" many feet behind the Vette like a...

    Insurance costs

    Actually it makes PERFECT sense of you think about it. The insurance company is MOSTLY concerned with WHICH car you are DRIVING and to an extent where/how its stored when NOT driving it. They figure you are then more likely to have an accident in the car you drive more frequently. As Vette...
