    GM Lawsuits: Dex-Cool to blame??

    I just heard about this, Googled it and found that it appears to be true. I don't know how to comment on it and have my opinion but thought you all would like to know as well. Dex-Cool is being blamed for corroding cooling systems and causing costly repairs to GM vehicles. Early failures on...

    OBD I and Actron Scanner Question

    My gas mileage has dropped considerably recently, from 21mpg avg down to 18mpg avg. :mad Two months ago the check engine light came on while steady driving on the interstate at 60mph. But it was off after a restart and it did this a couple of times. Now mpg is way down so I stopped by an...

    Headers? O2 Sensors? What Else?

    I am about to put some money into my 93 LT1 A4 Vette and I need some opinions/advice. I already have the K&N open air box, hot chip, and aftermarket free flow exhaust. Here's what I am thinking: Headers: Long tube? What's the best way to go with this? Direct, no mod bolt-ins. SLP? Other...

    Looking For Wheels

    I was getting some new tires put on yesterday and while waiting I asked the guy about wheels. I thought the ZR-1 wheels would look good on my Vette. :D He couldn't find exactly what I wanted... ZR-1 wheels that have the spokes powder coated or painted black. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

    FYI...

    Okay, I got lucky, but just in case some haven't taken the time to check a few things... I've had my Vette for about 1.5 years now and I've checked, repaired, and upgraded a few parts in that time. Well, I was driving to a computer job around 8 pm, doing 75 mph on the interstate and started...

    Went to an AutoX event today

    I actually went with the intent on entering. It was an Australian something Solo2 event. When I got there and saw the potential competition and the fact that I've never autocrossed before, I stayed to watch only. There were NO beginners there. It looks really fun and I wanted to try it. So...

    I Want To Try Auto-X

    I live near Indianapolis, IN and I want to try autocross. I've never done it before and haven't even seen a track set up anywhere around here. Does anyone know of a track around Indy where I can give it a shot? You know... a place where I won't make too much of a fool out of myself. :D...

    C4 Mileage... Revisited

    I know, I know... been discussed many times. :D I went to Kings Island in Cincy last Friday. I filled up the Vette, reset the fuel stats and headed southeast down I-74. By the time I arrived, the 'avg mpg' was 30.8 mpg!!! Heading home I got on the interstate and reset the stats once again...

    What Is It For???

    Inside the center console of my '93, at the front, there is a pair of wires coming into the console that aren't connected to anything although they have a crimp connector on each wire, 1 pink wire and 1 black wire. They are coming out from under the plastic below the coin slots. I'm assuming...

    High Beam Switch

    After returning home from CruiseFest and checking out the car, I checked the high beam switch again(didn't use it during cruisefest). I found that it will only work if the steering wheel is tilted up all the way. It does not work when tilted down to driving position. Hmmm... I find that kinda...

    Funny Thing Happened Yesterday

    I've owned my 93 Vette for just over a year now. Over the first month of ownership, I was using and testing everything on the car. Well, I found that everything worked on the car... except for the high beam switch. I was afraid to get into the column so I just lived without high beams...

    93E or 93L ???

    I am going to replace my serpentine belt and when looking, I found that there was a change in the belt mid year. I've noticed the E or L on a couple of other items as well. How do I know if my Vette is early or late 93? :confused Thanks,

    Tire Choice Help Needed

    I am due for a new set of tires on my '93. I currently have Runflats and not going to use them again because the compound is too hard. I took it to the track last fall and spun the tires 30-40 feet off the line on 5 passes. Still ran a 13.98 though. When on the street, I can spin them through...

    Problem with '93

    Question: On my 93 LT1 Coupe, lately it has started doing something weird. Sometimes(not always) when I go WOT from a stop, I see the brake(idiot light) come on briefly, then the Check ASR and Check ABS lights illuminate on the control center. They stay on until I turn the car off and they...
