Two of the three HVAC switches on my 99 FRC have broken at the same time and I need to order some replacements. Anyone have a part number? I do not have auto temp control, just the basic HVAC controller. The part number that I've found that looks like it could be a match is 16203804 but I...

The Corvette as it sits is a great car. My real gripe is the lack of supportive seats in a car that is capable of generating g-forces like the Corvette can. All the Honda's I've ever owned have supplied better lateral support than any Corvette seat I've ever been in. Leon

This is the gripe with my B&B Tri-Flo on my FRC, it drones at 70mph in 6th gear. I'm thinking of a C6 and think that the NPP might be the best of both, nicer sound when wanted, quieter at idle/cruise so I can hold a conversation on a cell phone. As it sits I try not to do too much since it's...

My understanding is that the GM Performance Exhaust is not the NPP exhaust, but it a GM badged aftermarket exhaust made by Corsa or maybe B&B. Hopefully others with some more knowledge will pop in soon. Leon

Regulator, had similar problem on my 99 FRC, passenger side as well. Leon

Remo, that's a little high to iron on... :D

The C6 Z06 clutch requires a C6 pressure plate and there's a different throw-out bearing. The clutch/pressure plate assembly bolts right in to the C5 setup. The problem is that the clutch/pressure plate assembly is slightly thicker than the C5 setup and it wouldn't fit into the opening on the...

I realize this thread is a bit dated but... Just over 136k miles on my FRC and the thing keeps going. Just replaced the starter, two years ago it got a C6 Z06 clutch (though it didn't need), radiator and water pump, and lots of tires over the years. ;) The drivetrain itself and engine have...

These cars get very screwy with a dead battery or low voltage. My battery lost a cell without warning and it was a total mess. Couldn't jump start it or anything. Went down to Walmart and got a battery and dropped it in and away I went, no codes, no problems. Just be warned, there can be no...

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I didn't love the C5 when it first came out but it grew on me, but I LOVE the C6. And when the LS3 came out for '08 it's so hard to pass up. So now I sit in a similar situation where financially it would help to sell the C5 to help pay for the C6 but at the end...

Seriously Rob, when you trading up on the old ZR-1? ;) Isn't it at least time for a C6? :) Leon

;LOL

You have a have a serious set of cojones to drive that car like that. :eek A little bit of each. I paused the movie to respond and then went back and saw what you mean. There are a couple times where there was enough of a bump to reduce the traction of the rear wheels enough for some spin...

I've been giving it some serious thought lately. I REALLY like the LS3 and since taking a new job I now get the supplier discount with GM. My C5 has just turned 135k miles and it's starting to feel a little worn. Now that I'm living in the NE there are more days to take advantage of a...

That is likely the same car that I saw in Philadelphia. Beautiful car, and yes, looks Cyber Grey to me. :)

QFT! Great looking color!

I use the Castrol GTLMA fluid. Make sure that your fluid is DOT3/DOT4 and not silicone. http://www.castrol.com/castrol/sectiongenericarticle.do?categoryId=9021702&contentId=7040556 I just had to get the car inspected and an oil change so I had the brake fluid changed as well so I'm covered...

The complaint is that for a sports car the seats are flimsy and unsupportive. For a car that is capable of generating g-forces at a whim the seats need to provide better lateral support. When driving during an HPDE event I need to brace myself from every angle with my arms and legs to minimize...

Actually, if it runs fine when it's cold then you have a sensor issue once it starts running closed loop. Check to see if you have any codes before spending the money on an injector flush. O2 sensor perhaps? I had a similar issue on my C4 that was an O2. Check for codes first. Leon

Fox12, welcome to the Corvette Action Center! :D Let's see if we had a similar situation. My car would bog a bit at lower RPM. It was really pronounced when the A/C was on. When the car was under 1000 RPM the engine would miss and almost stall out. Once the RPM's were up the miss wasn't...
