Hi Guys, I have a code 44 (Lean Exhaust) issue on my 1988 Vette. The car is completely stock with 47k miles on the odometer. Approx 2 years ago I installed new intake manifolds gaskets due to a coolant leak on the LH side, all intake/plenum runners, throttle body etc gaskets were...

Thanks, but as much as I'd love to have them I think I'll have to pass on making you an offer for them. If I really wanted them, I'm sure I could arrange for them to be shipped to Australia, but to be honest if I was going to go to that much effort I'd probably rather ship a set of 1990 ZR1...

Very tempting offer, I love having lots of original spares for my cars, just not sure if it would be worthwhile having them shipped to Australia..:) Do they still have the original Gatorback tires on them? How much do you want for them? Thanks, Ken

Hi Guys, Couple of questions. 1. Is there an easier/better way to jack up the front on a 1988 Corvette? I know there’s jacking points on the sides, but to be honest I don’t like the idea of using those locations to jack the car up one side at a time, it doesn’t seem like a good idea...

I think the problem is you can't get replacement rubber bushings any more for the C4?,.....as far as I know the only thing available is poly. I'd prefer rubber bushings any day over poly. Ken D

Isn't that the decal that's stuck under the center console lid? Pretty sure that's where it is on my 1988 C4. Ken D

Thanks Andy, you must have been reading my mind, this was the path I was thinking about going down. I figured it was just a matter of finding: A. Somebody who could supply the key. B. That supplier having the key with the correct value pellet. I'll check out the site you've listed, hopefully...

Thanks Schrade, I don't know what the key number is, weird that they don't want the resistance spec?....I would have thought that was equally important as the key number/code itself. Ken

Going to the dealer might be a bit hard, I should have mentioned I'm located in Australia. I wonder if I can get a dealer over there (in the USA) to make me a new key and mail it to me?...., I can prove ownership of the car and provide documentation to prove it's in Australia. If I went to a GM...

How do I get another key for my 1988 Vette? I don't have a spare as it only came with 1 ignition key, naturally I'm worried that I might lose or misplace it. Being that this is the first year with the VATS resistor pellet in the key, does this make it more of a problem to get a replacement key...

Thanks Schrade, yeah I think they're pretty good looking as well, always liked the lines of the 2nd gen F-body birds, and now that I own a C4 I'm really starting to see subtle design lines and features that I hadn't really noticed before. Nice bird Tim, another generation of F-body that I...

Oh, and a few pics of the birds as well....:) Ken

Hi Guys, As promised, a few pics of my 88 Vette. These were just a few of the pics sent by the previous owner in Florida, and based on these pictures I thought the car was worth further investigation and ultimately ended up buying. Haven't had a chance to take any pics of it here in Oz yet. Ken

Hi Jim, Yeah my Trans Am is an ex Californian car as well so it's got the 403, black vinyl interior, original paint (which is showing it's age), original decals etc, only 80k miles on the clock. I blame Smokey and the Bandit for corrupting my young impressionable mind back in the late 70's and...

Thanks everybody for the welcome, 6 Shooter...pics to follow soon. Ken

Hi Guys, Been lurking for a while now on this great forum, doing a lot of reading and researching here before I bought my first C4 Corvette. I'm located in Australia and have been into 2nd gen Pontiac Firebird's since 1988, I own a 1971 Firebird, a 1977 Special Edition Trans Am and now the...
