Thanks torqzvette...the spoiler was a dealer install from 1988. Been with the car ever since. I like it but cant find out who made it. Someone once told me they thought it was a Greenwood spoiler but i cant find any history on it at all.

Randys Ride Here is my 1988

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...

Ok, i haave been ahving an electricla isue with my 88 since the day I bought it, back in 2002. Was able to take it to someone who did a complete electrical check and chase, and we discovered a few things. 1. there was a secondary alarm system in the car that was screwing up the normal VATS. It...

First love My father was an accountant and did the books for a guy who owned a Corvette dealership: his own place he started and he only sold Corvettes. I liked all sorts of muscle cars then, being as I was a teenage boy. Dad got me a job working in the shop during the summer for this guy and I...

Finally got it done!! Well, i must say thanks to all. I finally had some time to work on the car this weekend and got the TB cleaned and the open air filter lid and K&N air filter installed. Now I must say...WHOA!! What a huge difference it makes!! With the open filter breathing more air and...

Anti Rattle clips The idea is all well and good, but in teh FACTORY manual for my 88, nowhere in teh brake section does it show or tell how to install those clips. My brakes rattle all the time and even the Chevy dealer says its normal. So, if anyone knows how to install those or can tell me...

Late parts from Ecklers I have ordered from Ecklers for a couple years now, along with Mid America, and Corvette Central. I have on occassion ordered from a few Corvette shops (Vettemasters, Arts Corvette Parts, Tabers Corvette, etc)for hard to find/used parts as well. My last order from...

I think it would.....not real sure though about what TB's fit which years. Dont think they changed them, did they? See..this is what we need to learn!! LOL!!! :L

I'm with you. I bought the suggested inserts from MADVET and they are NOT it!! i have the smae type of inserts that you have and noone has them. I am thinking of makign my own. I did find that they are attached with weatherstripping cement, so not a hard jobto do. If you find ones, please let...

88 had same problem Hey there...my 88 does the same thing STILL, on some days. I have found that when this happens, it is letting me know the reservoir is empty. I replaced the radiator and the sensor, which is located about 2" down from the filler neck, about 2 years ago and the system is...

Paulie, They still came from Al Knoch. Thats Ecklers supplier as well. I have researched several places to find out who they get their items from. The only one I couldnt get an answer from was Zip Corvettes. The others (Mid America, Corvette Central, Ecklers) get their stock from Al Knoch. Its...

The service tech told me that the TB had some bad carbon deposits and probably had some in its small passages inside. He suggested I take it off and clean it out completely. Or I could just buy a new one. Then I would have to get the ECU to understand the "new" idle point. He said something...

Similar ordeal with 88 Door panels I had a similar ordeal with new door panels for my 88 from AK. This is my first Vette and I am in the process of replacing some items. She is mechnaically sound, has a new paint job, and is my daily driver. About a year ago I ordered new door panels (Deluxe...

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...

Rear Wing Ya know....its always your right to do with your car as you please. The "wing" or "spoiler" on my car was put on at the dealer when it was new. I ma the third owner of the car (documented) and I have as of yet to figure out who made it or see another like it. Some people have...

My favorite.... Here's my favorite pic....the day I bought the car and drove it home!!!!

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...

Having battery problems again. Didnt drive the car for 4 days (out of town). Came home,get in, and nothing....dead battery. The few suggestions I have had is to replace the alternator with a 180 amp alternator instead of the 105amp. Anything special need to be done as far as wiring goes? I am...
