My pride and joy recently developed a check engine light that I would like to get addressed. Does anyone know of a quality Corvette service garage that they can recommend in the Milwaukee, Wisonsin area? I will print out the codes but I would really like to have someone fix this issue as well...

I hope that I am not re-hashing an old thread with this question. So please excuse me if that is the case. I did a quick search and did not find this so here goes. I have a very nice and factory stock 1989 medium metalic blue convertible with the factory white top. I also have the factory...

Boy, I am really getting the bug to upgrade to a C6 convertible from my trusty (and paid for) C4. I am in the mulling it over stage, but would like to do it. I was wondering how you all out there typically pay for your Corvettes. When you are looking a a Corvette with a sticker past $55K, the...

Hello CAC! I have a problem I hope someone can help me solve. I have a 1989 convertible, mostly stock. I like to keep the engine compartment detailed. On the drivers side valve cover, I have that Corvette logo that is starting to look warn. Some of the finish is coming off, probably from a...

I was just graced with a beautiful granddaughter last September, so I guess that makes me a Grand Father! So now I have a mission to get her started in the Corvette lifestyle as soon as possible. Does anyone know of a company that makes a Corvette replica peddle car, preferrably a C4? But any...

Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes some type of a bracket or holder for attaching American Flags onto a C4 convertible? I have a chance to have the car in a parade and I want to display flags but don't want that classic 'duct tape' look. I was hoping someone makes a holder that...

Is anybody running a newer type Magnaflow 2.5-inch cat back exhaust system on a 1985 to 1989 vintage L98? I was wondering if it has a bad resonance problem from 1500 to 2000 rpm? I don't want something super loud. Magnaflow says the system is great, but I think they may be biased. Thanks for...

I always enjoy reading about the various exhaust systems people are using. Has anyone with and 89 (or similar c4) installed the Borla mufflers on the stock factory y-pipe? How did it sound? Thanks, Radar :beer

Out of the blue, the starter on my 89 vert makes this awful noise !! :eek It sounds like the noise a starter makes if you try to start an engine that is already running. But......my engine is off! There is a terrible and LOUD clashing noise. If I stop and try again, presto.....starts fine with...

I have a question on how best to end a five month winter storage period for a 1989 C4 with 45,000 miles and the automatic. I put the car up for storage in Pctober 2001 with a full tank of gas, Stabil, fresh natifreeze and a fresh oil change. The car has not been run since 10/1501. I have a...

I checked some of the old forums and I know that synthetic oil has been discussed before but I have a concern about leakage that I have not seen asked in this way. Can a synthetic oil like Mobil-1 be used in the 1989 vintage L98 without causing a leakage problem? (I have read that synthetics...

I have an 89 convertble with the L98, 700R4 auto trans and 2:59 rear axle ratio. I would like to change to the 3:07 or 3:31 rear gears for a little better punch from the hole. I still need a good highway cruiser so I don't want to go way up in ratios. Has anyone tried this change? I know...

89 C4: Has anyone tried replacing the Bose stereo system with an aftermarket receiver? I was thinking of pulling all four Bose speaker boxes out, the factory radio out and replacing them with a nice receiver with good sound and four new speakers. I heard that the factory radio has dimmer...

I have a question about the battery on a 1989 C4 relating to winter storage. Is there a problem with removing the battery from the car for a six month period? I searched and read thru all of the older posts and found some information on trickle chargers. I could use that appraoch but other...
