I replaced all the turbo lines and got my clutch fixed so I finally took the TT out on a 500 mile shakeout. Everything was fine until I got home and put it back on the lift. The oil cooler radiator looks like it has been sprayed with road oil. It literally looks covered from head to toe...

I'm replacing my oil lines and would like to keep my car as close to OEM as possible. Callaway only stocks the orange stuff and I would like to use black under the hood. Does anyone know a source for the black stuff?

Hey all! I've had clutch problems for the last several years and finally found somebody I trust to fix it. He pulled the tranny/clutch today and says the clutch needs replacing...again. I already replaced the hydraulics and he says that's working fine. I'm ready to pull my hair out. This will...

Is it what I think it is? Is that an Aerobody underneath that fugliness? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v249/Flapss/24%20hours%20of%20Spa%202004/100_0317.jpg Here's the thread I found it in on CF. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/showthread.php?t=1119127&forum_id=26 Please excuse my...

I had my '87 dyno'd today on the Dynapack dyno. Temp was around 50-55 degrees and it was raining. This is the dyno that bolts right onto the hubs and then induces a load with hydraulics. After blowing off my driver's side intercooler twice I got some pretty good runs. I used 10 gallons of...

I'm getting my '87 TT dyno'd next week. It's going to be done on a dyno I don't know much about. They jack the car up, remove the rear wheels and bolt on a water cooled hydraulic pump gizmo. They use hydraulics to control the pressure. It's kind of weird looking but it allows the operator to...

Does anyone know the name of the man that bought the 4 Callaways at B-J this spring? I have a legitimate need to get in touch with this man but really can't go into details. I'm working at getting to him via B-J and Callaway but thought I would post here too. I didn't see anything on the web...

I'm pretty sure there has been a fantastic looking Steel Blue Callaway w/Aerobody that's been up for sale a few times over the last few years, perhaps a ZR-1 SN? Is this car still around and still for sale? Just curious. I know someone considering a Callaway or ZR-1 purchase in the future. TIA...

I can't find high quality black lettering for the C5 corvette rear. I am talking about stainless steel letters that are like black chrome, gunmetal blue or similar, not carbon fiber black and not vinyl or plastic letters. Does anyone know if these are made by anyone? I am thinking about buying...

I can't take this break in period. Speed under 55...no revs...no hard braking. How am I supposed to cope? :lol: Oh well, the weekend is over and I'm almost to 300 miles. What a car! I can't say enough good things about it but I do have some questions. -My wife will object to the cabin noise...

The day my wife and I have been awaiting for quite some time was here. Last Friday (5/18) we purchased an '03 MY Z06. The dealer was great--they accepted our offer and set delivery for yesterday. There were some defects that were to be fixed like a small cut on the steering wheel (replaced), a...

I'm really close to buying a C5 but need some help. I really want a Z06 and my wife says yes but I have heard the Z06 is substantially noisier than a coupe. I won't own another vert. My current ride is quite loud and I don't relish the thought of another loud car on those long highway trips. In...

Scorp--any chance you have had a good look at the ZR-1 at Boston Motor Sports up for sale on Ebay? I just know that if you've been there you would have taken a good look at things. If so, what was your general opinion? I am considering bidding on the car if the reserve price is low enough...

I have never felt my brakes were that good and am considering upgrading them. It's a tough question what to do since I don't want to detract from the collectability of the car. A friend has recommended (and I've seen this elsewhere too) that before I do any pricey upgrades I should completely...

I need to remove the inner wheel well from my '87. All the screws that hold the wheel well lining to the body panel w/gills are Torx and those I can get off. However, the very bottom screw on each side is not like the other Torx screws. This screw has a flat head and what appears to be a hole in...

I heard that some original owners of Callaway TTs took the B2K emblem out of their cars as souveniers. Because the '87 doesn't have a lot of badging I never thought about the fact that I didn't have any badge on the console. J Mercer at Callaway says I can purchase one from them. Does anyone...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1833795677 No way it will go for $18k. Reserve is probably around $30-35k. What a looker... :D

I still have my "fuel starvation" problem. I have another clue that may add some insight. The symptoms are that at a certain point in time, the car refuses to accelerate properly. It acts like it's out of gas. The symptom occurs in boost and not in boost. The first time it showed up this time I...

I took my TT to my mechanic and he agreed the fuel pump sounded louder than it has in the past. I also noted that my gas starvation problem didn't seem to be there when the car was cold. So...he pulled the pump and replaced it with a new one from Callaway. Yessirreee Bob, my baby is back. I had...
