Monday morning I wake up to my neighbor pounding on my door. I open the door and he yells you're car's on fire. I immediately hope he was referring to another one of my cars, but when I seen that it was the vette I went nuts. I was going to try putting it out with a fire extinguisher I have, but...

I have been trying to remove the cover underneath the driver's side storage compartment so that I can access the brakelines attached to the ABS unit (one or more of my lines has a leak). I took off all the nuts that hold the cover on and I also removed the three bolts that hold the ABS unit to...

I have what appears to be one or 2 brake lines in the rear that are leaking. I jacked the car up on the driver's side and noticed that there are 4 brake lines tie wrapped together going into what appears to be a hollow box. I haven't pinpointed exactly which line is leaking but wanted to see if...

Today I took my Bose Gold stereo and all four bose speakers out of my 92 vert. I didn't really want to do this again (previously did the same to my 84 and regretted not keeping it original), but it stinks not having a working radio while crusin. Anyway, I bought the modification kit to allow the...

I recently replaced the opti spark on my 92 in hopes of getting rid of a skip that has been there since I bought the car. You may have seen my thread about what I went through replacing it, which really wasn't that bad but wasn't that good either. Anyways, long story short, the car still has the...

Since I bought my 92 it has had a terrible skip while accelerating. Once I get up to say 50 it goes away and seems to run somewhat smooth. After reading about all the problems with the optis, I figured I'd give it a shot and replace mine and the waterpump while I'm at it. Got the opti for 120...

Hi-I have a 92 convertible that I bought last year knowing it would need a new roof. I have mainly driven the car on nice days to avoid having to put the roof up and make my car look less appealing. Anyway, I've decided to tackle the task of replacing the top myself this year and was looking to...

Its a little late now for me to be asking this question, as I've already ordered a new AC compressor, but I was just curious to see if anyone has done this. I wasn't sure if a certain idler pulley could be used in place of the compressor, or if it would be possible to put a smaller belt on. I...

It's

Hi, I'm looking to see if anyone has a used AC compressor for a 92 LT1. Mine has a pulley that is very loose and wobbly. I'm assuming the previous owner may have seized it up and then tried unseizing. If anyone knows any other years of corvettes or other chevy's that may be compatible with the...

I recently purchased a 92 white convertible with red leather interior. The body is straight, no accidents, clear title, etc. It has 102,000 miles on it. The paint isn't too bad, but does have some scratches here and there. It had a total of 4 owners, me being the fourth and a dealer in Florida...

Hi, I recently purchased a 92 White Convertible, after selling my 84 last year. The serpentine belt broke off the other day when I bought it. I bought a new belt and figured it would be a simple job, as it was on my 84. I am following the routing diagram under the hood along with the one in my...

I am about to undergo the expense of having my automatic transmission completely rebuilt. However, in a last minute attempt to avoid such an expense (1400) , I 've been trying to fix the problem myself. I was told that the transmission in my 84 is controlled by the cable that works with the...

Today I was heading home from work on the highway, and I decided to open my 84 up a little (very deserted area). I was going about 85 or 90 when all of a sudden my rpms started to jump but i wasn't gaining any more speed or even maintaining a speed. Immediately i slowed it down and went to the...

I don't know what happened but recently my power steering will only turn one way and not the other. It takes a lot of effort to turn it one way and very little to turn it the other (i forget which way is which). Either way, I've been told that my rack may be failing me?? Is this true? I have...

I was wondering if anyone knows where I could get one of these. My interior lights no longer come on when I open the doors and haven't for a while now. The hatch lights work when the hatch is open, but none of the other lights come on when the doors are open. I believe it was RICHR that told me...

I recently had the door panel off the drivers side door of my 84 vette because I was installing an aftermarket speaker. After reassembling the panel and putting all the wire connections back I find that the window goes down, but now it won't go back up. The passenger side one works fine so I...

Does anyone know whats the easiest way to remove the front bose speaker boxes from an 84. I already took the door panel off and loosened the box up but I can't get it to fit between the door skin and the aluminum piece that moves the window up and down. Is there a trick to this?? Any input is...

I'm not too sure what going on, but my interior lights are not functioning the way they should. They don't come on when I open either one of the doors or when I turn off the ignition.. They do, however, come on when I turn the dimmer switch to the on position, but they are very dim and I've even...

I'm not too sure whats going on, but my interior lights used to come on when I opened my doors, but now they do not. When I pop the hatch, the lights in the back come on. I think this problem happened after I had installed my aftermarket radio, but not too sure if thats exactly when. Either way...
