Not an expert (definition of expert = a drip under pressure ;LOL) but if the floor is getting wet (in dry weather!!! - love that one JohnZ) logically it must be coming from the heater matrix, or connections to the same. The only other explanation, is that this vette is sooooo faaassstt...

Just an idea......... Sorry, I dont know cost of that size, but the ones we used 245/45/16 on the RX7 were $ 250 - $280 US each from memory (12 months ago), dependant on the dollar. I also must add the RX7 was only about 1100kg, in relation to wear factor, my 1981 is 1550kg, so might be a...

We have run then here on the street (not that large mind you), but we get our own grooves cut to S01 or S03 pattern by the local tire/race prep shop. (A Race or Rally crew is another option for getting it done for a small donation to thier race budget) Wear rate is an issue (5 - 7500km life)...

Hey Twin Turbo Hoosier also do a 275/45/16, not quite the 295 you want but close. Part No 46630: DOT Road Race Tyre. Not sure if this helps, but thought it worth the mention. :beer

WOW........ Those are huge tires (11.6") for that standard 8" rim. Good Luck :beer

Hey vmrod Cant help with the rachet shifter, but mine came with a 700R4 in it, but with the standard original shifter (looks standard). Also still had the 3 speed shift indicator plate and no pointer (as nothing read true, so they removed it). I got a new pointer and a shift indicator plate...

Hey L48 Sorry for the lack of reply, been away skiing for the last five days (yes winter here, but skied in a T shirt and 3/4 pants.....lovely). Thank you so much, I am getting to the point I dont care what colour they are. Will start bidding on those shortly. Again thank you, Thank You...

Hey jrose7004 Like any vette with major body mods or customising, the price is really what someone will pay for it, based on the desire to own it. I have seen that you can buy conversion fibreglass, rear deck, hood bin etc from ACI still, so its not like it cant be replicated now (at a cost no...

Generally............ Houses and Cars always make us feel this way......... but there will always be another one just around the next corner or two....... its one of those life learnt lessons! Now if I could only learn to follow my own life lesson advice! ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL So I know its hard...

Hey L48 Yes a Bowling Green 1981 vette. But could use from 1980 - 1982, I think those years are all the same in relation to seat belts? If you could keep an ear to the ground, that would be much appreciated. Having absolutely no luck at this end yet. :beer Grant

Do you guys not have to keep the car fully functional??? to be road legal??? Not trying to be smart (promise :)) but I continously read on the threads about wipers, brakes and other stuff that people have either disconnected and/or just removed because they dont work or just arent there! As...

Quote: Marketing: "Because it'll give the "illusion" of performance - a door opening and intake noise at WOT will sell like gangbusters." Love it!!! ;LOL ;LOL ;LOL Sort of the like the Mr Mitchells "Lets design a car that LOOKS like it was designed in a wind tunnel" The result a sexy looking...

Hey 250rtone Sorry about that post about NCM, my excuse......it was 2am-ish in the morning here and the brain fade was creeping in. I know NCM only does 81 and later, what was I thinking????? :W :beer

Hey 250rtone Have found another more detailed site http://www.geocities.com/MotorCity/Downs/3000/matchnos.html The only other thing I could suggest for a fast numbers check, is ring the NCM, and they have the ability to email you a build sheet for about $30. They offerred this to me due to...

Hey 250rtone Firstly welcome to CAC Try the link below to get overall of what "matching numbers" are. This link also give a list of referance books you can buy to check all types of vette numbers and trivia. Sorry I cant be more help at this stage. If I find anything else I'll post...

Hey black_81_vette The only way to know for sure what your vette was built with originally is the gas tank build sheet, or order a build sheet from NCM. You'll need your VIN number to get this info and a little coin. Link as below http://www.corvettemuseum.com/ Good Luck :beer

Hey lnirenberg Dont sweat it, if fact I was laughing so hard after reading it, it was hard to type an answer! Again thanks for the links, have sent out the word to them, so will let you know how they turn out. :beer

Hey Ludigdrums Your hood is different (assuming its an 82), as it opens by solenoid at the front. The 73 opened by solenoid at the rear, from the high pressure point at the base of the screen, similar idea to the L88 & ZR1, but they were open all the time - yeee haaa! :beer.

Hey lnirenberg Thanks for the links, I'll give themk a try. Now for the Geography Lesson - Hate to correct you, but Australian males.........tend to live in Australia, which is a completely different country to New Zealand! To put it in perspective, its like calling an American, a...

Hey Vic From memory, mines on the drivers side head at the front. :confused Have seen them mounted into the bottom tank of the radiator to keep em low and out of sight, mainly on show cars, if this is any help. Question: How do you read the guages in the engine bay while driving, or is there...
