I just replaced my Toyo T-1's on my '03 Z06 with Firestone Wide Ovals. The Toyo's were great, especially in the wet--and I expect the Wide Ovals to be just as good. Both tires are great bang for the buck. I initially went with the Toyo's about 3 years ago when the Wideovals were just coming...

As a point of reference 225-70's were the stock tires with 255-60's being an option on the late 70's early 80's C-3's. Road tests of the day showed that the car handled better with the 225's!! Also, since each Corvette is different, the factory would have to sometimes shave some fiberglass...

Welcome. A couple of years ago I had the entire floor and back area done with foil outside with "mat" material between the sheets. My interior guy bough a box (40 Sq. Ft. I think) and installed it from a local car stereo shop. Check the "search" function and you can find my post. I had...

A couple of years ago we had a local C5 with a bike rack here in town. I never got to speak with the owner, but as I recall it fitted into a trailer hitch. Hope this helps.:)

Mike is right. Tach Drive to the rear and #1 wire front, or there abouts.:)

HIB and gmjunkie are correct. My stock '03 Z06 runs religiously at 196 on I-95 down here in South Florida--even on the hottest days. I also change my Dexcool every 3 years instead of 5 as has been discussed a million times over the years. The weak spot in our cooling is in traffic with the AC...

In addition, if you activated the TPS sytem like I have and replaced the tire valves the "slime" will ruin them.:)

I forgot. This will have no effect on the alarm system.:)

Remove the white wires from the connector that plugs into relay. Tie them together. That should do it.:)

Excuse my delay in getting back to some of you. Disconnect the relay and jumper the white wires together. The the lights will work normally. Hope this helps. Back channel at melsy@bellsouth.net.:)

Albies; It appears that on some early C-5's there MAY be an issue with headlights not opening or closing after this mod. My guy included a picture of the underhood fuse box and there are two 10 Amp headlight mini-fuses which you change to 20 Amp and that solves the problem IF you have it. I...

This is one of the best threads I've seen on any Vette site. Hib and C4C5 come through again. Many thanks.:)

I just installed the low beam HID's in my '03 Z06. I tried to buy them from flea-bay but could not get an account since someone using my e-mail address already had an account and I couldn't get it straightened out!!??^%$@#@&*$# I wound up buying the kit from the guy in Houston for $249. I...

Having been through this at least half a dozen times on my '03 Z06, the fix is to get it to the dealer and have it repaired under warranty/TSB's. GM even extended my warranty on the fuel system. This is just a fact of life for us and many other car owner's. Techron may provide a temporary...

I recommend the Helm Factory Manuals. They have everything and you will learn alot and be prepared if you have to take it somewhere.:)

I owned an '81 new, back in the day. It was a kind of early/problem plagued computer control system. Basically the computer controlled the mixture through an overly complex carburetor, the timing, and the torque converter lockup. That's it. To really awaken the car and keep it very...

My advice is to get the Manual from helminc.com as stated above. Who cares what color the cover is--Helm is the Original Equipment supplier. :)

Great thread for troubleshooting. One other thing to remember is to check the grounds if everything else checks OK.:)

I had a yellow '74 new with the center grille since here in FL we don't run front plates. The front center grille for 73's and 74's are not reproduced and the originals were some kind of pot metal that wore and pitted over time. They make repro plastic left/right grilles--but no center. Good...

BTW, over the years there has been numerous posts of that GM kit costing as much as $600 &%$@*&^:bash
