I've heard about water wetter for years and went to this pdf document to check it out: http://www.redlineoil.com/whitePaper/17.pdf One thing that concerned me was how WW with just water actually lowers the boiling point to 250° instead of the 265° you get with a 50/50 mix of water and...

I think the c4 is a bargain for what you get. The engine is more powerful than most other new cars being sold, and the handling is outstanding, it is light years ahead of the c3. It's a fairly easy car to work on, most things anyway, but there are some things that are hard to replace like...

Welcome!

Speaking of expensive parts, Mid America is now pricing the 84-89 radio bezel at $220! Holy cow.

I've seen that picture before and while I can't condone doing that to any corvette, at least they didn't do it to a midyear.

That's a beautiful roadster delph. That car is a dream.

I don't mean to be rude, but what's the problem? You can't drive it without waxing it? Looks clean to me.

I've had some wonderful drives in my C4s over the years, San Francisco to Palm Springs, L.A., the northern california coast, big sur, Lake Tahoe, Las Vegas, the car was built for all these great highways.

Drinking and driving, wow that's really smart. Some people never learn.

Red is the definitive color for Corvettes, followed closely by black. All the other colors are okay I guess.

Your temps seem a bit high to me. If it's never been done on your car, I suggest you first try cleaning the radiator, it's not that hard and can be done with simple hand tools. Here's a link: http://www.batee.com/corvette/dcrg/readerstips/larsstuff/this_tech_paper_will_discuss_sim3.htm

All Corvettes are rare, in a way. It's a beautiful car all right, but according to the corvette black book, there were 1,596 cars with z51 in 1987, and bunches of others options were available too. Theoretically, with so many options and 16 different color selections for 1987, one might...

What great pictures and what a beautiful car!

It's a nice car and everything, but a car is a terrible investment. It will cost money just sitting in the garage because you have to insure it. And if you drive it, a host of things will need replacing on a regular basis. If you want to invest your money, put it in mutual funds. I do agree...

I always liked the way the c4 convertible looks with the hard top. I had a 1990 triple black with hardtop and got compliments on it all the time. And the cabin is so quiet and solid with the top installed. Jeb, the hard top will fit your 87 but you need to buy a retrofit kit since the hardtop...

And another side effect of installing an aftermarket stereo is that you're never happy with it. There will always be that little nagging voice in the back of your head saying "hmm, these speakers would sure sound better with a bigger amp." Then suddenly you want a head unit with MP3...

I agree with the consensus, don't worry about NCRS or bloomington. Paint it whatever color you like, very few people will care about originality on a 1984 corvette when it comes time to sell it. Don't worry about ruining the value, there were so many c4s made that this isn't as much of an...

Well, there is this fix on the other forum: http://corvetteforum.com/techtips/viewsubtopic.php?SubTopicID=58&TopicID=2 I tried this and it didn't work for my amps. As others have said, I don't think you can just wire up some unamplified speakers to the Bose, my guess is it will sound...

Anything with a bearing in it has the potential of going bad. Any mechanic can diagnose bearings with a stethoscope, you can do it too, they are cheap and Sears has them in stock. Best money I ever spent. Just remove the serpentine belt and listen to each belt-driven accessory, if it catches...

I would not place too much reliance on the voltage readout, for some reason they are sometimes inaccurate. In fact, the service manual for my car suggests replacing the entire dash display if the voltage reading is inaccurate! If the car is otherwise running okay, I wouldn't worry about it...
