    How old is the "average" C6 buyer?

    Recently, there has been an influx of C6's appearing at the local high school. Seems students have "discovered" the C6. They are all parking together, too. (One of the cars is a C5, but still...) They keep their cars spotless, too. Started with just one C6, around Aug/Sep. Has grown to about a...

    C6 convertible top prob

    I suppose it could be used as such. Actually, the syringe IS from an equine supply. And the clear vinyl tubing is general use aquarium air line. I use these for many purposes. I have dedicated syringes for: injecting brake fluid into the bleeder of brake calipers. This forces fluid up into the...

    C6 convertible top prob

    I used this to pull the fluid out of the reservoir, then inject clean fluid (about 90 cc's.) into the reservoir. Worked too easily.

    C6 convertible top prob

    Sorry, those 2 bottles are the same fluid. I had too much to fit in 1 bottle, so I used a 2nd bottle. This was about 35cc's of oil. (Mobil oil is factory fill.) Refilled almost 100 cc's of the oil contents of the 1 liter bottle on the right. Sorry for the confusion.

    Here's a pic of the fluid I pulled out of the rez. And the fluid I replaced it with.

    2002 C5 Temperature Gauge Reads Hot Even When Cold

    Not a bad idea to use mothballs to keep rodents away from those tasty wires! Just a few in a canvas bag under the hood should keep them away. Throw a couple under yer seats too, if you have signs that they get inside.

    2002 C5 Temperature Gauge Reads Hot Even When Cold

    Check the wire from the sensor to the gauge. Sounds like a short, or an open.

    2006 OnStar windshield box removal ?

    Pretty sure the "NAV" transmitters are in the rear view mirror housings. (Each side of the vehicle.) There are two of 'em.

    EPA proposed "Tier 4" emissions rule likely to endanger the future of the V8 Corvette

    This reminds me. I gotta learn to ride a horse. Wonder if they'll need catcon's too....

    C6 convertible top prob

    I got a C6 base, last August. It has a power top that isn't going all the way up to the windshield. It goes all the way down, but returning back up, it goes to about 10 inches away from the rim, then automatically starts going back down. Is this a limiting switch or something I can adjust...

    Auto vs Manual for HPDE

    The TR-6060 is very robust. Never heard of a "6070." I like sticks for sport work. Then again, I'm an old dude. Every Corvette I've owned, has been a stick. No reason to break tradition.

    what to say

    Pretty sure the C6 Gen is a dead duck to GM.

    CLUTCH STUCK TO FLOOR

    I'm sure you got this figured out last year. But, for those that don't know...the clutch hyd system can get loaded with crud. To the point of the pedal sticking to the floor. The "Ranger Method" has been shown to reduce this malady from occurring. It's quite easy, too. I just bought a 2006...
