    CruiseFest... Getting the band back together?

    So Rowdy and I struck up a brief conversation that took a quick turn down memory lane. And it reignited the thought of having another CruiseFest. Ya know, getting the bandmates back together for a reunion tour. It's been 12+ years since the last one. Doesn't need to be anything fancy. No...

    Question: Conversion of interior/dash lights to LED?

    Is anyone aware of a conversion kit or direct replacement LED for any interior lights? In particular, the dash & cluster are pretty dim, even when turned up to full. There are times I'd like it all to be a bit brighter!

    Possibly my water pump squeals at high RPM?

    For a while, I've had some squealing coming from under the hood when I get up to 3500 RPM (no load) and 4000 RPM (w/load). A little later, my alternator failed so I assumed that was probably the squeal I was hearing. Alternator has been replaced and the squeal is still there. I popped open the...

    Question: Replacing the alternator

    Hey everyone... While attempting to reconnect my battery, I think I fried my alternator's electronics. I was having a difficult time getting those damn side-terminals to connect and I was arcing pretty good. Eventually I got the connections secure, but then noticed that my battery light was...

    Question: Replacing rear 9-leaf spring with the monoleaf

    For years I've been kicking around replacing my rear 9-leaf with the single fiberglass or composite spring. I'm now to that point since I'm doing so other minor rear-end work. I did some searching on the forums and read through a few threads, but none of the quite got me satisfied yet. I 100%...

    Grand Sport 2013 GS Vert or just base model vert?

    Take a look at the pictures of this car. They are accurate in terms of this is the car being rented out. However, I don't think this is a GS. It's missing any GS badging and it doesn't have the naca ducts on the rear fenders behind the door. Nor does it have the front air intake, but I...

    Additional oil filter capacity

    Was wondering if anyone else has switched up their oil filter to the higher capacity equivalent? (I use all Mobil-1 oil & filters in my car) I was kicking around in their website just looking for the sake of looking and I found what seem to be identical filters except that one is a higher...

    The new LT1 with the feel of an LS7?

    WOW! :cool I've only been in one LS7 vette, and it was one of the GM mule C6's before the Z06's were released. And I still remember the feeling that car had. Barely pressing the GO pedal from a near standstill in 2nd gear(!!!) and I still felt like I was being tossed back in my seat! And now...

    Seats, are they that different?

    I took this right from the C7 website (here). Looking at the seats- hold your mouse over it for a the larger picture- it doesn't look like they are that different support-wise. Obviously the racing seat could support an over-the-shoulder belt setup, but the side bolsters don't look that that...

    Why the Corvette will be successful and why you don't like it.

    I had originally posted this as a response to someone in the "2014 C7 Beautiful Poll" thread, but thought that it was enough of it's own idea to spur conversation separate from the poll. Thus, here it is... -------------- -------------- And therein lies what I believe is the problem. You...

    Active Rev Matching & CAGS & DOD

    I've never had to worry about CAGS, but I know it's one of the first things manual transmissions owners usually disable/defeat. Any one care to venture a guess on how these two will play together? (Assuming CAGS is still there.) I'm also curious to know how the cylinder (de)activation will...

    Radiator air venting through the hood

    "Why let the hot air pass over the engine when you can evacuate it outside?" I think this is a great idea! But I have a question that always comes to mind when I see cars with open hood scoops / vents / etc... "Where does the water go when it rains or you wash your car?" On most cars(?), I...

    N2A Motors

    Has anyone taken a look at this 'coach builder' that uses C6's as their base platforms? They have some pretty nice looking stuff with the guts of a C6 underneath! n2a Motors Still in development

    Question: possible upgrade paths...what do you think?

    So my girlfriend/fiancé said that after her business sells for a decent profit that she'd give me a gift of an upgrade to the vette. :D The first thing that came to my mind was "Procharger" since that's been on my mind for a while now. But then I got to thinking what else I could do with...

    Help! Collapsible steering shaft, service needed?

    (This post is not about a telescoping steering wheel) Per observation by C4C5Specialist, it seems that my steering shaft has shifted forward ever so slightly that it's now causing my u-joint to bind which significantly increases steering effort to the point I don't really like driving the car...
