Hi C598LS1 - I assume it is leaking. Why do you assume it cannot be plugged? Is it in the sidewall? My advice - Pull the nail, use a plug kit to put a plug in it - and quit worrying. I had to do this to one of my Pirelli's on my Z last year - with a 305 tire you are covering a little...

Hi wwr - I work for a company that manufactures engines and big yellow bull-dozers in the great cornfield. We have some of the world's premier metallurgists and tribologists working for us. Our engines can go 1 million miles without needing a rebuild if properly maintained. The experts...

Hi Patrick - Of those two - I choose black. I like the Lemans Blue the best though....there was one at the factopry when we toured it at the cruise fest. best regards - mqqn

Hi Spidey (I mean Patrick...) - Because the ones I put on the back of Maggies coupe started to fall off - I called Mid-America and they knew there was a problem with the adhesive - They sent me a replacement set with no questions asked. I used silicone to stick them on and they have been...

Hi Patrick - I like it - very unique - it would (as said) only work on a black car IMO.... I would explore the upgrade to the rear letters - the "orangey" vinyl stickers aren't befitting a corvette IMO - but the poly letters are a real nice touch. Just make sure you use some better adhesive...

Hi Eric - I had the same problem on Maggie's 99 coupe - You do have to remove the door panel - but it is a snap - look at the link in the post above that links to vette essentials - It's a 1/2 hour job if you take your time and are real careful. I crimped them up as tight as I dared, and...

Hi Tombone - Very nice - and unique! I like the inserts and the bow-tie plate cover too! That car would defninitely benefit from an inch of lowering.... Beautiful ride -thanks for the pics best regards - mqqn

Hi Doom Driver - I'll wade in and cast my vote - I have been using silicone grease for years - a little dab'll do 'ya, and it keeps the rubber looking like brand new - I have never had a problem with it - just rub it on, let it sit a while and then wipe it off. I also have never experience...

Hi Guys - Actually - she has her own - she prefers an auto to the "real thing"...:D. Her car has 36k and my Z has 37k. We drive 'em! As to being a stickler for details - I thought she did an outstanding job - the brakes are right - to compare her work to a "profesional" - take a look at...

Hi blkvettes#1 - Since you are going to texas anyway, I would seriously consider LG Motorsports, and my second choice would be MTI - they offer door to door pick-up/delivery. The benefit of a pro would be someone who stande behind the work, along with experience. I feel you would be money...

Hi blkvettes#1 - I assume you are looking for 800+ total HP, not a gain of that (800 + your 345 stock hp) - although either will be quite an undertaking. I have seen cars with 700+, but not many with 800 or more. In my opinion it'll rewuire big cubes, power adder, and a lot of tricks by...

Hi wwr - Hmmmm - you are correct, there is no mechanical drive for the speedo or tach, so it is not that - First thing I though was the torque converter lockup solenoid, but it seems from your post that the noise comes from the instrument cluster. It'll be interesting to se what you find...

Hi Folks - I was away for a week on a motorcycle trip (pics in off road lounge if you are interested...http://www.corvetteactioncenter.com/forums/showthread.php?t=71135 ) and my birthday passed by while I was gone. Have a look at what my wife drew for me while I was gone! I am impressed...

Hi MeekRN - It is taste. Most people buy coupes, and although I suppose some choose them for economic reasons, I think many like the additional cargo capacity, and the removable targa roof over a cloth top. Verts have their drawbacks. Z06's only come in a manual. Most corvettes sold are...

Hi wwr - Just crank them up with the manual knob on the inside of each headlight assembly. best regards - mqqn

Hi Nick - Any good upholstery shop should be able to fix the seat cover - should not cost that much (less than $50 IMO). Sounds like the dreaded "mad-seat" disease - my Z06 is exhibiting some of what you describe. Kinda sucks, but I guess it's easy enough to fix.... best regards - mqqn

Hi Dave - There have been those who voice concern over using some of the synthetics in the MN6, the concern being that some lubricants can cause premature wear of the organic synchronizer friction materials. I have read that Royal Purple is ok to use, and I would not be afraid to use redline...

Hi Patrick - The country of origin of Michelin was a consideration for me as well.... I just had to buy a mich rear for my motorcycle, but it was the only compatible radial that I could get before Saturday. I am leaving for my ride around Lake Superior Saturday morning, and I wore out a...

Hi Z06 Tom - DTE did an complete engine (stroker ls1) for a friend of mine. That car flat out rocks! I was VERY impressed with the attention to detail that DTE gave, and the car has been without a hiccup for a few thousand miles, including his following me to the CruiseFest in BG. Great...

H Patrick - Cool! You did sound excited about that vert when we had dinner....glad it worked out for you! Oh, the bike trip - Nope - held up very weel - I have a very comfy bike... Here - I posted in the off road so you can read the details if you like -...
