I also like White late year C4's.:)

OK we dropped the starter and there was a rubber gasket between the starter and the flywheel cover plate. Does this need to be installed on the new starter? Second, the gear on the old started stuck out a bit past the housing about 3/16 of an inch. On the new starter it does not. It seem...

Keeping lawyers out of the equation is a nice concept if you can afford to take such a financial loss. Personally I don't like dealing with them either. Good luck!

OFF TOPIC QUESTION! By the way, I see you have a 57 Belair, I have a 55 Belair. Do you ever attend the tri five chevy Gambler Classic in Laughlin. This year I believe it's the week after Easter.

In your lawsuit against the party that hit you, your lawyer was supposed to get an amount for devaluation of your vehicle. If they did not then you're stuck. If you did not sue them then your stuck. That's called the consequences of using public roads. You may want to ask your tax professional...

Thanks, that sounds like a two pill and maybe three beer project. I pick up the starter tomorrow and hope to be in shape to install by this weekend. Thanks again for the info, it saved me from jacking the car up and crawling under to check out the situation.

Does anyone know if the exhaust pipe needs to be dropped to remove and relace the starter motor on a 1994 LT1. My shop manual, which shows the removal of an earlier C4 starter, seems to be a bit vague when it comes to the (smaller size) LT1 gear reduction starters. I am wondering without...

I would believe that Bob Parsons, formerly of a computer software business called Parsons Technologies and more currently the owner of Godaddy, had more to do with it than Kelley. He seems to like anything that wears a skirt and he has pockets that are deeper than the Earnhardt's. You may...

OK Guys I have an ending to this story. The Volt gauge in my 94 C4 has been reading on the high side. The digital read out was indicating 14.3 volts but the battery was not holding a charge. Recently I started to get the "SYS" flashing on the panel which is an indication of an electrical...

Yep, but I am wondering how that is that is presented on the gauge? Near or at the highest mark or closer to the center mark or????

I have checked out the technical area but can't seem to find an answer to this question. Under normal conditions, where does the voltage gauge read on the C4. The gauge is marked 8 volts at the low end and 18 volts at the high end. Where should the needle be during normal conditions with no...

I fully agree with you. Tire for tire the run flats have a harder compound and do not grip anywhere as well as conventional tires. They are a compromise that was necessary to facilitate elimination of the spare tire in order to provide a trunk on the C5 series. Those I know who enjoy...

Bill, if I may suggest that you use the SEARCH engine provided here to research this topic on this board. This question has been asked and answered many times in many different manners and all it does is open the door for some degree of verbal hostilities between those who prefer C4 and those...

Yes, I guess there is a bit of bashing here and yes, all the variations being discussed are Corvettes and because of the variances there’s something for everyone and as a community we must be thankful for that. My concern about the future of the Corvette is who is GM targeting with the new...

That may be. Take a look at the performance curves provided by the manufactures of your upgrades and pay attention to the lower RPM range. Those increases in performance they advertise usually happen in the upper RPM range. If you seldom use those upper RPM ranges then you wasted your money...

Thank you for posting that link. We now have a new member of the Corvette community. My co-worker purchased a 2010 six speed coupe in the Shadow Gray color. It's his first and he seems to be rather excited about it.

While I much prefer the rear of the C6 over my C5, I still prefer the flip up headlights on my C4 or C5 to the plastic cover headlights on the C6. Those just look so Cheap, cheap, cheap. And when you look closely at the headlamps themselves, which are probably very efficient, they look like...

Tire diameter and rear end ratio will play a part. You may have the performance ratio with low profile tires and are comparing it to others who have the standard ratio with stock profile tires. Except for the sound, a change in exhaust system is not going to matter at the RPM's you are...

Yea, try to drop anything down that low out here and drive it on the streets and you'll be spinning on the belly pan within the first few miles. There are many times when I am taking my C5 through an intersection and I have to slow from the posted speed of 40-45 down to 10 or 15mph so the...

Thanks for the info. We are about to add another Corvette owner to this community as he's a buyer not just a tire kicker.
