I should probably have indicated that the temp here in southern california is pretty warm for the most part (+60 degrees year round), don't know if that has anything to do with the high idle issue being low, but she will idle at 900-1100 on some mornings. Never really paid too much attention...

Hey everyone, I just started having an issue where my engine begins to idle rough as it warms up/sits idling. As soon as I come to a stoplight for example the idle will be fine at first but will begin to gradually roughen the longer I sit in gear, foot on brake. The interior dash lights and...

Hey guys, I need an upper A-arm, passenger side, for an '89 roadster, preferably with good bushings. Thanks. Jose

Hey everyone, I crashed my girl over the holidays and need a used front bumper w/both sidemarker lamps and passenger side turn/foglamp, fiberglass "crash pad" located behind front bumper, both inner fender wells (psgr/drvr), and passenger side headlight capsule (from frame/mounting bracket to...

I need a hood that would fit an '89, think yours would work? If so, how much?

I would be interested in the hood and inner fender wells, would take the bumper as well but I see that it's a '91 and up bumper. Interested?

Thanks for all the responses guys, I still haven't taken on the repairs due to an initial estimate by a local shop of $7,400! That's to be expected as the guy was charging me $400 to repair and re-chrome (!) a bent polished aluminum wheel! This guy saw a vette and wanted to get paid for the...

Well, it finally happened. As I was making a left hand turn on a light that turned red, heavy traffic, some idiot thought he could beat the red!:bash Long story short my front passenger side corner is smashed in, the hood is cracked around the headlight and about 2 feet from the front...

A client backed into my '89 roadster's passenger side quarter panel and cracked the fiberglass where the panel goes from vertical to horizontal. I took it to Coast Corvette in Anaheim where they charged me $3,500 for the fiberglass repair, repairing the crack in the bumper around the side marker...

I had the same problem with my '89. I took it in to the Chevy dealership to have the decklid release actuator on the affected side replaced since I couldn't open the decklid myself. The actuator costs about $80 bucks at MidAmerica

Thanks for the pics ecss, I'm taking her in tomorrow morning to have the bracket and braces installed.

I just checked the bracket for the braces you mentioned and guess what? All three supports are missing! I wonder if the shop neglected to replace them when the A/C compressor was replaced...

Hey everyone, The other day I noticed my A/C compressor vibrating rather violently at an idle of 1000 rpm. When I checked the bracket there was a crack starting at the upper bolt. This is the second time this bracket has failed within a two year period. Actually, more like 1 1/2 years. I have...

Hey everyone, I have an '89 and am currently trying to tighten up the steering and get rid of the play in my steering as it can make the vette dance all over uneven roads. I've replaced the upper and lower front ball joints as well as the outer tie rods and the front shocks (bilsteins). The...

Problem solved Apparently both the Zr1 and base corvette use the same rack design so the inner tie rods are the same.

Hey everyone, I goofed and accidentally ordered inner tie rods for a ZR-1, rather than for the Base Z52 suspension I have (1989 roadster, automatic). Will these inner tie rods fit my car or do I need to order a set for the Base suspension? By the way, the tie rods measure 16" in length if that...

Idle Repaired So I had the IAC valve replaced and voila! She idles again, but I'm still a little concerned as I find that she drops down to a steady 500 rpm or so at times when in drive and fully stopped. If I throw the A/c on the revs steady out at 700 rpm or so which provides a smoother idle...

Status update I just disconnected the IAC, started the engine, got the same stutter but revved her up to 2400 to keep her going. After I let off the gas though she kept revving at 1000 rpm steadily. I shut her off and did it again, but this time she went back down to about 400 rpm and...

Hey Guys, I just got my baby back after 2 months at Coast Corvette in Anaheim getting some body and paint work done. Well, I got her back home to the Culver City area, about 30-45 minute drive on the highway, and the ride was great. But a couple of days later, when I went in to a local shop to...

Where can I get? Hey, I'm very interested in this double filament/moveable filament HID kit that allows for high beam use. Where can I get one?
