I just replaced my 98 C5's battery today with an Optima Yellow Top....all was well after that, except my windshield wipers raised a bit off where they are supposed to sit. As i was driving, the wipers then started to move on their own, at their own will, and stop randomly then start back up...

Would anyone know of a good, well-known and respected shop that deals with Corvettes in the central NJ area? I need to get my harmonic balancer checked out and possibly replaced due to it making a very strange and metallic sound with engine revolutions. Could someone please point me in the...

and how? Can it be done through a program like LS1 edit? On the DIC, it says i need to service it. I'd rather just do away wtih it, b/c i have no real care or need for it. ;shrug Has anyone done this before or can anyone tell me if its possible without throwing the ECM off for something else?

I had a Borla system installed this past saturday on my 98.....quad-round/rolled Borla Stinger system with a Borla x-pipe. Had it done by Mufflex in Trenton NJ; they did an awesome job putting it on and alinging the tips. As i understand it, these systems tend to be troublesome, especially the...

Ok so i know alot of guys run these on their C5's. I have to say that aside from some of the HRE wheels i've seen, these are prob the best looking wheels for the C5, and i think i'm going to go with them. My questions are the following: - what sizes can i go with for my 98? whats the...

....of the quad-tip borla stinger system with the ROUND ROLLED tips, straight-on from the back? I recieved my stinger system, but ordered the oval rolled tip version, and i'm not sure if i like it as much. Thanks.

Can anyone tell me if there is cutting required when installing the Borla x-pipe? I recently ordered the Borla Stinger system, and am awaiting shipment, but i might opt and get the X-pipe as well....or is the X-pipe just a clamp-on installation?

Again, i'm looking for a deep, rich and powerful sound....loud. I dont want it to be raspy or tinny.....eventually, i will be adding headers and high-flow cats....so thats something to consider. But right out of the box, which muffler system will give me what i want to hear?

...and i was wondering if i can jack up the rear of the C5 high enough to just remove the mufflers? The car sounds like a dragster haha. Not sure why, but where the intermediate pipes screw into the mufflers, after the flange on the muffer side is where they separated-both of them. So as some...

I know this was around a few years ago, but what happened to the company? Are they still around making these conversions? I personally thought that the Cavallo GT conversion was tastefull and appealing. Anyone have any more information?

....today, the stock exhaust on the C5 took a dump.......it sounds REAL nice, but i definetly will have to replace it. I'm thinking something with Random Tech high-flow cats, x-pipe and Borla Stingers. Suggestions?

This has just started happening. Its happened twice. 98 C5 6-speed, with 15k miles on it. The car will start, hold the idle just fine, and then when put into first gear or reverse, as you let out the clutch, the car's rpm's just drop and the car stalls completlely. Doesnt matter how much gas...

Tonight, i take my car out to run some errands. I look down on the DIC for no reason, and i see that message displayed. No check engine lights, no other malfunctions, nothing....car operates normal, all guagues functioning properly, etc etc.....oil pressure good, etc. Car drives smooth and is...

Ok....i'm not sure what to do here. First off, my C5 is a 1998, has about 13,600 miles. Its pampered, but driven like it was meant to. With that said, naturally, anything like this would concern me. A couple weeks ago, i ran over a small boulder(sounds strange) but it was a small boulder...

Well, i got a nail stuck in my stock goodyear emt on the rear driver's side....doubt it can be patched/plugged...so looks like i'll have to get a new one. The goodyear place over here quoted me $550 with mount/balance:eyerole: NO WAY i'm paying that for 1 tire. Anyone have any suggestions?

....would like to know of a reputable dealership that specializes in Corvettes and how their owners "are" about their cars. I've had problems with the local dealer i bought my C5 from, and i dont want to take it back to their service department ever again. I'd like to take it somewhere where i...

I dont know if i read it here, maybe a different board, but apparently, the dealership fix for the recall for the column lock problem on C5's isnt as great as its cracked up to be. From what i heard/read, the dealership fix may or may not solve the problem...and i heard that there were some...

....i know, i know...i need to get the service manuals. But how do i change the headlight bulbs, and the foglight bulbs? I'm going with the Sylvania Silverstars as replacements for all...just need to know what to do. Thanks.

I'm going to be getting a Red Top Battery for my 98 C5 this weekend.......wanted to know if there is any special proceedure to change the battery....aside from the usual disconnecting the negative then the positive, then instaslling, then reconnecting, then re-learning for 15min...
