Its a universal problem I dont know about how you lot feel ;shrug. But Im getting fed up with this lack of ownership that people are taking for the actions, that they controlling and therefore logically responsible for! In this case, no one forced her to drive the car, she chose to...

Believe it or Not! How about "I M 1 4 6 9" Believe it or not this was a standard (not personalised) plate issued on a car I owned. If you had applied for this as a P.Plate, there would be no way it would fly. But as a random number throught the DMV? I just got "RAC3R" for the L81 (now just...

Awesome Ernie Keep us in the loop TaG

Hey Tepot You can fit those wheels on an 8" rim if you want to, See article from Corvette.faq link below http://www.corvettefaq.com/c3/MoreBite.pdf They even got 295's on, but that might be a bit of an ask. I was always told the rim should not be less than 83% of the tire for optimal handling...

Hey Tepot Dont believe they did make a 10" version, but would be very interested if avalible. :beer Grant

Hey otter Dunno if this helps, but you can get small trickle charger (cigarette packet sized) which you leave connected to the battery/mains when in storage that cost about NZ$30 - $40. Probably cheaper there. We have one on these on the L81 and all thats required is to unplug prior to use...

Hey Ernie Sounds Great, weve just had our nationals in Rotavegas (Rotorua) which I missed (was working) but it sounded great. Send me some contact & info details, as we are in Aussie a lot on business etc, so maybe in country at that time anyway. :beer Grant

Dont stress Mike :W, The Top Gear team, entusiastically trashes cars from all around the world equally and without prejudice. A very PC show in fact. :L The one I liked was when Clarkson was raving about his new Ford GT (see pro-American car), and the others pointed out that in a carpark, he...

He's right, were all there teaching them how to spell including the word "sign", oh and geography lessons!. :upthumbs Good to see the humour from the West Island still functioning well. ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL :beer

Hey embuild I run my 81/350 on 98 NZ gas (which is sh??t) and its also 10:1 compression with no apparent problems, I agree with vett boy it sounds to far advanced. The only other reasons Ive heard on this issue, is carboned up piston crowns or cam installed incorrectly in advanced position. Good...

Its interesting that this subject has come up on the site, as here in New Zealand, there is currently a huge movement to allow LHD cars to be imported by American car enthusiasts. At present we can import and leave LHD in the following cases. 1 The vehicle is over 20 years old. 2 The...

Hey norvalwilhelm Im not sure if i read this right, do you mean putting on a rear bar will make it understeer (push) more? Or are you saying the car understeers naturally, so this would be an improvement? I am positive that adding a rear bar would make less understeer, with more neutral...

Hey firstgear See the other thread above, "whats a C3 worth these days" has links to some web sites etc. Also just google C3, and some of the more common "Vette for sale" sites come up to look at, top get comparison if you wish to do this yourself. However.......As the 82 CE seems to be such...

Hey johnrem46 No its not a difficult job, but you will have to cut up the console or buy a new console made for the newer units. Most (if not all!) CD players need a fully open DIN sized hole, where-as older cassette tape units had a central rectangular hole (radiused corners) and a couple of...

I've put on my fire proof long johns...so here goes!!! Vettehead Mikey...QuoteThe actuator and locking system is not all that different from an aircraft landing gear mechanism, excepting that most modern aircraft use hydraulics rather than pneumatics. It wouldn't surpise me to learn that GM...
