Thanks for that info Tom Yes the stock C3 chassis is pretty flexible and our roads here are not smooth, so even for a street car it would be a good idea. I do autocross and club race, and its hard to be consistent when the suspension is consistently moving through chassis flex, the front towers...

Hey All, been offline here for a while now (20 years) while life got in the way. Anyway, I have collected another 1981 C3 chassis thats actually straight (hens teeth here in Kiwiland, and if they come up there are bent) from an engine fire car with the intention of modifying the extg frame as...

Hey MADLT1 Try this link http://www.corvette.com.au/RHD%20Conversions/RHD%20Conversions-15.aspx They maybe able to assist you with the C3, although they seem to do mainly l;ate model stuff now. Good Luck Kiwi

Hey All from down under :w Saw this and thought it was interesting enough to post. Greenwood widebody on a 79 with CE interior and rear window kit. Cyclone wheels, Daytona hood etc etc. By the way have a look at the "Callasta" or some name like that on the previous page from above "they...

Dont know if this helps Hey Abel20 Dont know if this helps but a buddy of mine had the exact same issue after the car had been in storage for a while (6 - 12 months). Turned out in this case the transmission/convertor was clogged up with dirty old fluid (somehow seperated) and this was the...

Try this I looked everywhere for my L81 to be re-webbed in the correct material etc. It was a dam frustrating experiance. Found these people who did it for $75 US each plus postage. Try this link, as about your model and they will provide costing etc. questions@ssnake-oyl.com Good Luck Grant

Thanx Rob Just like to get things clear, as sometiimes the info avalible is contradictory, like that article. :beer Grant

Respectful Question Dont mean to be dis-respectful or anything, but didn't Bil Mitchell design the 63' Vette? I remember reading somewhere that "Mitchell" considered the 63', his finest design work. Also have read that Zora and Mitchell (not Earl) were always at each other over the design of...

I think you've hit the nail on the head Tom!. Real competition improves the breed/all breeds, and that can only be a good thing for the sports car enthusiast no matter what your brand preferance maybe. :beer Grant

Just an idea I have at present, is to make a badge to match my registration plate, "RAC3R" As my partner is a graphic designer, we were thinking of getting a badge for the glovebox lid (I also like less on the outside) with "Stingracer" matching the early C3 Stingray Script or the C2 "Corvette...

Hey 80VetteL82 You can get longer leaf spring end bolts to keep lowering the rear ride height. Its my understanding that the longer the bolts the lower you can go. However as with all good things, to much can be to much. At some stage in the lowering process you will run out of adjustment...

C4 Top Gear Heres another one to get your damper up then! Remember this 80's one? Also check out the affro mullet hair thingy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ilL4wICrEs Sorry, I really enjoy this show, is just so..............politically incorrect! Cheers Grant

For what its worth. Hey Brian For what its worth, I would go to a reputable suspension specialist in your area and give them your suspension specs, eg spring weights, ride height, camber etc and secondly how and where you drive. Local suspension people will know the roads you normally...

Ditto Were in the same boat, if they have to be converted to RHD, they end up in the 180k range, thats a lot of spondoolies. Even those other brand 05 horse things are 100k. :beer Grant

Do it the right way! Hey wipeout I agree with 76okievette, I got a quote from SSnakeOil just to re-web, as webs had been damaged on the door posts. They quoted $75 per belt plus postage which I thought wasnt to bad. Surely it must be better to get the originals remanufactured professionally...

The info is out there! Hey gambit In the L81 Assembly manual the info is on drwgs 12C/sh11, 12H/sh12 & 12H/sh13. If you cant get access to copy from someone locally, let me know and Ill scan and email thru. Goodluck Grant Kiwi Vette.
