    "Corvette" brake calipers

    I did research on this last year when I did the swap to J55. The calipers (12" and 13" J55 and GS/CE) are all Girtling (sp)/PBR. They all have the same guts. Calipers for the J55/GS-CE are wider to allow for the thicker rotor. GS/CE have slightly different casting for the "Corvette" on...

    Trans whines when cold

    I will try and work it in this week. (fluids) I am sure it is not the rear end though. For sure it is the trans. I will post if there is any change.

    Do C4's go in snow??

    it is my only car as well. I have put 44K miles on mine in 2 1/2 years, so you know it does not hide from much. Only when the snow is really deep do I keep it in the garage. I know some people would never dream of taking thiers out in the rain, much less the snow. That is fine. I just don't...

    F-45 vs. Z51

    lt4_gs.... want to trade??? :L I am a rag top fan, but I might be persuaded to a targa if that is the way to get the Z51. I seem to remember that Z51 and Z07 were not available on convertibles. Are the F45 shocks able to be upgraded/readjusted like the FX3 system? Just thinking how the...

    Prevents body flex -C4 (top off)

    Secondchance- I might do that. With the hard top on, it is not bad, but come spring when the top comes off, ahhh it takes a while to get used to the body shake. Thanks 4 the info.

    F-45 vs. Z51

    Ok, I am thinking of selling my '92 and getting an LT4. I was looking at the options (since part of this is motivated by the fact I want a stiffer suspension. My '92 has FE1) and it got me thinking, which set up would be better. It will be driven daily, and will see auto-x. I drive into the...

    Retrofit FX3 shocks

    92ghost... I have thinking about the same swap. I have been quoted $1200-$1500 for everything needed to make the swap. You can also have the FX3 shocks revalved to make them stiffer if you want. If you are serious, from what I understand, there are 2 different controllers out there. The Z07...

    LT4 LT4 vs GS (mostly a discussion of brakes)

    Actually, the J55 brake option is out of the ZR-1 parts bin. ZR-1's came with these brakes standard, and they were an option on others. All 95/96 vettes got the J55 brakes standard. They do make a difference. I have them on my '92. I took it a step further, and have drilled rotors.

    Trans whines when cold

    Last time I was at the dealer, I was going to have them change the trans fluid. They said the drain plug was froze, and they did not want to try to get it out unless they had a back up plug to replace it. On the good side, he said that the fluid looked good, and would not bother changing it...

    Prevents body flex -C4 (top off)

    :TALK I have a convertible, with a hard top. From what I have read, and heard, the convertible with the hardtop installed is the stiffest setup for a factory C4. My problem is that i tend to drag my factory "X" brace over speed bumps, and the occasional bounce in the freeway. Granted, it...

    Do C4's go in snow??

    Ok, time to wade in on this one.... This is my third winter with my '92. It is my only car, so it get driven in the snow. The first year, I was driving it with Goodyear GS-C's. Remember two things: first they are what were designed for the car, second, they are NOT even all season tires...

    exhaust and autocross

    Mike....My tips extend out past the bumper a bit. Should be enough to keep it behind the car. In fact, it sounds a lot different from the back than it does from the sides. I will check out the web site for the info on exhaust for Solo. BTW..what size pipes are you running on your "X" and...
