I have these two "things" that made to fit over the front wheels wheel well space and provide a workbench like space for the C4. They are made of a rugged plastic and really did a great job holding tools...

    FX3 option on ZR1?

    Was the FX3 suspension an option on the 1990 ZR1?I thought ALL ZR1 Vettes came standard with the FX3 suspension. I ask because I called about a ZR1 for sale about 250 miles from me with low mileage on a car lot.I asked the fella to go out and look for a knob on the console in between the power...

    Interior light problem returns.

    The lights are on again.They won't shut off. Last time this happened I was able to shut them off by cycling the circuit through the CCM.That trick isn't working this time. I'll have to perform the full diagnostic this time I suppose.I really don't like removing the seats,console,trim plates...

    Directional Tires and non directional brain.

    I was having a problem with my 90 FX-3 C-4 handling a little odd i.e. rear end swinging out to the right on medium accelleration from a dead stop or a hard downshift(automatic trans),so I swapped out the wheels and tires with the original set I had stored in the garage.The handling problem went...

    Interior lights remain on and problem w/ factory manual section 8A

    In my 1990 service manual,section 8A electrical diagnosis supplement,one of the first steps for diagnosis for interior lights remaining on is to check for a defective door key switch.The note refers to Chart #3 on page 8A-133-6. Page 133-6 is blank in my manual.It's not intentional like most...

    Starter Replacement Questions

    I am replacing the starter on my '90 L-98.:bashThe GM service manual refers to two shims which go beween the block and the starter.When I pulled the old starter off,I didn't see any shims or hear them fall.They aren't stuck to the block or the starter.Maybe they weren't there?Absolutely...

    I'm sorry.That's been discontinued.

    What the frig is up with GM discontinuing so many parts for my Vette?I thought that they had to make parts for 10 years after production ceased,but we're having problems getting parts for 1995 models. I personally have a '90 that I can't get new parts for,but my buddies '95 has discontinued...

    Fuel pressure modification.Is this for real?

    I was "slumming" and found this.Is this safe and/or workable? This modification was performed on an 87 Vette with approx. 100K on the odometer, a gutted MAF, a K & N air filter, Jacobs 8.5mm plugs wires and Delco sparks that are 2 heat ranges hotter than stock. I tried this modification and...

    My mind is getting (!?!)cloudy

    As you may know,I have just gotten my Vette back on the road. I can't seem to remember if my SRC was backlit or not. It seems that it would be,since the seat controls on either side of the SRC switch have backlights. Anybody know?:confused
