I have a 88 coupe that I have been running on Fuzion ZR1's since I bought the car in 2002. They have been a pretty nice ride and feel, but are now getting hard to find in my area. With all the road construction and potholes, and an ocassional slashed tire (getting to be annoying) replacing tires...

Hey Everyone!! Had a tuneup done on my 88 and it was suggested I clean the Throttle body or replace it. In discussing it with the mechanic, he said it is fairly simple (and cheaper) to clean it myself but that I need to 'reprogram the ECM" after i do it, otherwise, it will never find idle. He...

Hi gang.....been a while since i have been back on. Work has kept me way to busy to work on the Vette or even look at the boards. I got a letter in the mail a couple of days ago from GM. They are looking to "buy back 88 Corvettes" for a project they are doing and were interested in meeting...

Well..it happened last Friday afternoon, around 3pm. The beautiful sunny day went to dark, gloomy and torrential downpour in a matter of minutes. It rained until almost 5pm with SEVERE lightning and heavy rains. Hearing the loud thunder clashes inside our building, I quickly ran to look out back...

Ok guys.....here's a tricky one for you. My A/C has been working just fine. The other day, it switched from blowing nice, ice cold air, to sweltering hot air. The A/C systems is full (had that checked by pro's), and there are no freon leaks in the system. If I make a sharp left hand turn the A/C...

See..told you I'd be back with more questions!! :) Ok..center console lid needs to be replaced. The "service parts identification" sticker that has the RPO codes and the paint codes on it is on the underside. I know that you can get the build sheet and the window stickers remade, based on...

Looking around at all the posts about radios and aftermarkets and such and was just wondering..is there another year that will swap into an 88, like a 90,91,92,93? I found a few that are in good shape that someone is trying to get rid of fairly cheaply and thought that would be a good...

Ok, here we go......driving home from work tonight and its pouring rain. The headlights are on, the wipers are going, the radio is going, the defrost is running on low and the driving lights are on.

Hey everyone, I bought my 88 Vette about a year ago. So far, I have been able to determine that I am the third owner of the car, and bought it with 82K miles on it and in very good condition. On the rear of the car is a spoiler that I cannot seem to place. I had heard or read some time ago that...

OK...i've looked thru the forum and have only seen one question on this and have only seen one website (Wet Okole) that makes covers for sport seats. Does anyone know of any other companies/websites where they have seat covers for the C4 Vette? I cannot find any thru a websearch.....both my...

Hi everyone! Well, I have read all the articles and the repair/troubleshooting for the Digital Dash posted here, and followed the links to sites with good info. I have researched this online as well. I have come to the conclusion that it is indeed a ground problem on my dash. The dash will come...

Well...life doesn't get any better when you're behind the wheel of a Vette!! I purchased my '88 Vette 4 weeks ago and haven't stopped yet. I have always wanted one since childhood, and since I haven't grown up in the past 30 years, I finally bought one. It was in exceptionally good shape, both...
