    My new FREE garage door opener mod...

    Hi crooze - Nicely done! I had seen one fellow who wired his into the cig lighter, and put the opener unit inside the console. If my opener fit in the ashtray, I would certainly do your idea - Thanks for the pic and idea! best regards - mqqn

    Gremlins in the car, help?

    Hi Bioscache2 - Yup - I vote battery. Test the battery with a multi tester - should be 13+ volts - My DIC normally shows 13 to 14 volts when the car is running. My old battery was showing 10.3 volts - and would not charge. good luck - best regards - mqqn

    Battery pooped out.

    Hi Folks - Well, the "lightweight" battery in my Z finally crapped out - 37.6k miles, and almost 3.5 years of service. I guess that is pretty good for this "glass mat" type of battery. The replacement Optima red-top was $128 with tax from my local megalo-auto. It weighs 40 lbs -...

    King of the Lake...

    Hi 89 - Go figure....Oh well. I saw a post about this wreck on another board and was hoping to see pics - but I can imagine what it would have looked like. Not good. I still get a laugh out of the folks that are afraid of showing a license plate on the internet.....as opposed to...

    Message in DIC

    Hi Chrisr - Yup - I had 15k miles on my Z before I ever saw that message, and I have only seen it a couple of times in 38k miles. I saw it leaving work one day and it was 100 degrees outside, so I guess it must be a calibration - certainly not low temps..... I have never seen it on our...

    71 purchase issues-help!

    Hi Lyle - My opinion - if all said is true and correct, then $12k for a nice daily driver is a good deal. I helped refurb. a 71 war bonnet car with the 350/270 auto. the owner paid 13,500 for it with 80k miles showing. We needed to do complete brakes, trans, suspension incl. trailing arms...

    Another new ZO6 owner

    Hi Tammy - I made one promise, that I would only do performance mods. I blew that one with the wheels, but that is the only time I strayed. My next mod will be a supercharger....planning it out now - telling Maggie how much a 2006 Z06 will be, with trade in of my 2002 etc. Then, "look...

    Just how clean is your Vette? (Pics)

    Hi Z06Nut - Very nice - I like the idea of removing the splash pans and polishing them up - niiiice.... I noticed rust on your rotor faces where the wheels mate up.... I keep this from happening by using Amzoil MP - same stuff I use on my weapons. It keeps the rust from forming there (and on...

    DOH-Tire Question....

    Hi C598LS1 - I don't see why not - the EMT's have a stiffer reinforced sidwall to allow the car to be driven with the tire at 0 psi for x number of miles. I cannot think of a reason that an EMT tire would not be able to be plugged. There are a lot of reasonable people who would not put a...

    Intake air smoother-outer

    Hi Glenn W. I have the Halltech TRAP system on my Z06 - I have had it for two years or so. It is very high quality (as compared to the Vara ram specifically) and Jim provided OUTSTANDING customer service to me. I have the Carbon fiber one - and it has the lower tube to extend the filter...

    Intake air smoother-outer

    Hi PeterG - I have one installed on my wife's 99 coupe. I don not nitice any benefits - nor do I notice any problems or issues from having it in the intake tract. I would not buy one, but the one I have came in a "package deal" that I bought when I was trying to buy a used air-bridge...

    Cool Z06 Video...

    Hi Tammy - That message is coming from the edmunds apache server - it's not on your end at all. It might just be quota problems - I get forbidden on all the links on that page. This vid is actually from 2002 and has been around a long time. It's a good one though. BTW - the CAC Cruise fest...

    Whats an FRC?

    Hi Bender - As mentioned - the Fixed Roof Coupe was introduced by GM in 1999 as an entry level car suitable for tracking. It was only offered with a 6 speed - no auto could be had, and it was limited as to option availablility as compared to the coupes and verts. The only interior option...
