awesome info guys! thanks so much!

Boy it's been a long long long long long long time since I've posted here at the CAC. After selling my Vette, I don't get away from SyTy.net very often. Anyway, all I have is a picture: other than that, all I know is it was obviously a marlboro giveaway, and supposedly there was a white...

It's kinda funny, the guys over at SyTy.net thought it looked awful. But I actually rather like it. Without the white letters and glossy tires though. As for the old Vette, every time I go home to Pagosa, I usually see it out cruisin' like it was meant to. I could always have custom "dubs"...

wow. :) thanks! too bad i learned they won't work because of incorrect spacing. as my Ty is based on a FWD offset. I know for future "projects" though. :) thanks again.

Been a long time since I stopped in here. :) Anyway, as many of you know, I used to own an L-81. I've often been fond of the wheels, as I think they are some of the best looking Vette wheels out there. I'm in the beginning phase of looking for new wheels for my Ty (so I can preserve the...

Seems like you should fit fine. What Vette isn't a little awkward to get in and out of? :D And the newer Vettes of course have power seats, and tile/telescopic steering wheels. Makes it easier to find a comfortable driving position. As for being 18, do you pay your own insurance? I assume...

As for removing the clear coat from the wheels, I suppose it's just like any other cleaning agent. If you leave it on for too long, it will probably discolor or remove some of the wax/clear coat. But so far, I haven't seen any evidence of that. The good thing about the foam is that it's...

I live in a very "dusty" area, especially now that we're in our most severe drought in recorded history. The best thing I've found with the Dow product, as opposed to the other "tire cleaners," is that the dust doesn't cling to the tires nearly as bad. After a few days with the other cleaners...

Great link! My dad's Suburban has extremely excessive shudder/judder when breaking, and of course our mechanic/friend said warped rotors. I'll show him the article and see what he says. T Jay

I'm sure someone will chime in with a more technical reply, but from all I've read/heard, it's not very harmful to your tranny. It is good, however, that you drive in D around town and OD from cruising. Driving in OD around town puts stress on your tranny as it tends to shift more. As to...

I'd post some pics after I wash my car tomorrow, but my mom's computer is too old :( :L, and I can't upload them from my Digital Camera. But they do look good! I promise. T Jay

...without collecting all the dust! I was cleaning my Ty the other day, and wish I would have figured this out when I had the Vette. I was looking around the shop at work for stuff to clean the tires. There was the usual tire shine products, armor all, bleech white, etc. I am not a fan of...

You might also try Sound Domain . They seem to have a pretty good selection of installation kits. -T Jay

I looked at the site, and saw that they have a "Changeover" kit to make a C-4 look more like a C-5. Someone should make a changeover to make C-4's and 5's look like C-3s. :D -TJay

You can get a nice Kenwood or Pioneer that will fit the factory slot. I believe Eckler's and Mid-America carry Kenwood stereo's that say Corvette on them for a reasonable price. Replacing the stereo is not too difficult, it is just time consuming, being the tight fit in the Vette and all. You...

Well, I can't offer you much help, as I sold my '81 before I was able to add more gopower. I asked, and did some searching for chips, and I found that they really didn't make that much difference. There's a black '81 in my home town and he went with true dual exhaust, no cats, dual electric...

Doesn't someone make a clear plastic nose cover? It's called stoneguard or something. They are supposed to protect as well as the typical bra, without the major paint damage and debris damage. Being clear, the paint won't fade under them, and they are supposed to fit much tighter. I think...

Strange, while I was a little paranoid when it came to driving my Vette, I'd much rather have been driving it than my '74 GMC Jimmy. My Jimmy was in great shape for a '74, only had 120,000 original miles on it when I sold it, but you know how sturdy those things were, compared to the plastic of...

Just like any car, the newer, the more refined. But a lot can be said of the Corvette experience through the classics. When I had my '81, it didn't have the power and refinements of a C5, but it was still a blast to drive. If you want a refined sports car, sure, go for a C5. But if you want...

I was thinking one of my books had a V-6 turbo in it also, but that's the one that was easy to find. I'll look again for the V-6. How bout them wheels? :L -T Jay
