Hi Corvette Girl - I have a 2002 Z06 I bought new. The bad - I really wonder why every C5 corvette and I hear C6 corvettes all have the rocking seat issue. Inconceivable that they could not successfully address this and put it behind us so to speak. The quality of the leather - I have 44k...

This car is no longer for sale. Thanks. mqqn

Hi abc - The actuator solenoid unit is under the sail panel beauty cover on the drivers side just behind the driver. You must remove the interior panel to get to it (per the Helms Manual). If your problem is just a rusty or broken spring, you do not have to even get inside the car - just the...

Hi folks - Thanks for the kind comments - glad to help. Pseudo - The plunger is held in place with the cable end (a ball of metal on the end of the cable) in a notch in the plunger with the cable going through the spring. The spring tension on the plungers flange keeps the tension on the...

Hi Folks - I had the same problem with my Z06 - but I did not buy the whole actuator. The problem (at least with mine) is that whenever the car gets wet, at the car wash, in the rain etc, the release plunger guide can fill with water, leaving the spring to rust and deteriorate. Eventually...

Hi folks - I put the CCW's on Maggies coupe - and here is my Z...looking stock again.... best regards - mqqn

Hi Alan - One more vote for "You are fine!" My Z06 runs a little cooler than that with a 160 degree thermostat - but that is well within the range for the LS1/6. best regards - mqqn

Hi Tim - $10 hand transfer pump from Autozone etc. Works great. It is easier to transfer it from a gallon jug, so pour your quarts into a clean gallon so you won't have to swapt bottles in mid-fill.....makes a mess.... best regards - mqqn

Hi Tammy - I sent an email to the company (Arvin-Meritor) that developed the Z06 Ti exhaust system, asking several questions, including what the tips are (i.e. chrome Ti etc..) I recieved a very nice response from Larry Antle regarding the composition of the tips - this should solve the...

Hi Jim - The newer the better - the refinements kept coming until the last model year. That said, I have a 1999 and a 2002 and both are trouble free and wondderful cars. It boils down to what you want to spend - the newer cars go for more, but are not necessarily any better than a little...

Hi folks - Sorry to revive the old thread, but I found out that the tips are indeed chrome - there is an article about the flash chroming process that they had to come up with to get a chrome finsih on the Ti tips.... I use either a wad of Nevr-Dull, or some turtle wax chrome polish. As...

Hi wwr - The market drives how many of what color are produced. The market does not put a premium on white cars, so they don't make many of them. In order for the white ones to become more coveted and thus more valuable than say a red one, the market would have to shift - white would have...

Hi Vette1003 - I like it! Well done! The scoop looks good too, IMO. Why didn't GM do this? They went half-way with the new Z06, by putting a similar scoop but only using it for underhood cooling, not as part of an intake. It would be very interesting to see a baseline run and then a...

Hi JJS - Foose is endorsing the mothers power buff-ball. I have one. I clean the wheels good before I polish them, so the ball stays grit free, and it can be removed from it's arbor and washed. I was surprised at how druable the foam ball is - I have polished all four wheels with it and it...

Hi folks - The only thing I can add to what is already here is that GM tweaked the PCM and leaned out the 2004's only. They seem to benefit less from aftermarket tunes than do the earlier models. best regards - mqqn

hi Peter - Zero fuses. Zero money. No worries. I have them on my Z06 - no issues. I don't think I can see any better , the light is just whiter. best regards - mqqn

Hi PeterG - I swear by the GM refills.....they work the best for me and I replace then on my daily driver once per year. best regards - mqqn

Hi folks - First - You do NOT want to polish with mag/aluminum polish, any wheels that have a clear coat - those should just be waxed. I use the mothers powerball on my CCW rims, but those are not clear, they are billet aluminum. The other thing I would caution about would be using...

Hi Ruck - Just some additional info - My Z sat in the garage for 6 weeks and I went out and started it two days ago. Started right up - no issues whatsoever. The coupe gets a red-top at the first sign of trouble with the battery that is in it. best regards - mqqn

Hi folks - I have had my red-top for several months now - no problems and it looks fantastic in the engine bay IMO. best regards - mqqn
