I know everyone is pretty excited over the new "bodywork only" pictures that we have just seen. But I have found some interesting information about the photo's... The pictures themselves have been posted in their native "digital camera" format. If you save each picture to your computer and...

Hi, I want to replace the standard wheels on a C5 Corvette. I've found a wheel manufacturing company that will make wheels for my car in whatever size I require and to my design if I so wish. I've found that one of their existing designs suit me fine. But, I want to have an aftermarket...

Well, I guess a few people have noticed that the pop-up lights debate seems to have died out a bit. Maybe fellow 'vetters are getting used to the idea of having light clusters rather than pop-ups? A few months ago when the debate first came to light I was of the camp that said I don't mind...

Hi, I have a question regarding the Camber adjustment cam that is located near the rear axle on a 1982 Corvette. I need to remove this cam and replace with a new one. I've got the part, I just need to fit it. I haven't removed the old cam adjuster yet as I need to clarify how easy this job...

Hi All, I have a 1982 Corvette. On this particular year they did away with the rubber end seals that mate the intake to the block, according to the manual that comes with the intake gasket set, you just need to run a bead of RTV sealant down the mating surfaces. Now my question is this...

Hi All, I have owned my 1982 Corvette for about 18 months. The heater has never worked... ever! For last two winters, I have been freezing my nuts off when going for a drive. Currently, I have the intake off because I am trying to fix another problem at the moment. I thought I would take...

Hi all, I'm considering buying a fifth gen Corvette to park alongside my third gen. Now, I want to modify the car ever so slightly to give it more power... but I don't want to do any crazy mods!!! I'm trying to find out how much extra HP I can get out of a C5 just with minor mods, ie...

I have an '82 Corvette. And of course, 1st gear is not selectable using the shifter, only "2", "3" and "D" are selectable for forward gears. My question is:- Can you select 1st gear on the C5 Auto transmission? Cheers Dazza

I wouldn't mind if the new Corvette C6 looks like this guys artist impression. It has a real hint of supercar behind it. Hopefully, he's sent a copy onto GM!!! Ha! Ha! What do you guys think? http://www.godsilperformanceonline.com/new_page_28.htm Cheers Dazza

Hi Guys, I've heard in the past that the 1982 Corvette's top speed was 125mph. But the thing that confused me was that 125mph is attainable in 3rd gear, but in all the specs I've seen it shows as the top speed in 3rd and 4th (overdrive) as being 125mph. I thought this was weird... I thought...

Ok Guys, everybody has an idea of what they would like to see in the next generation Corvette. But let's get some idea of what you guys - the Corvette buying public want to see. Let's face it, 99.9% of us on this forum already own Corvette's and 99.9% of us will probably buy a newer one at...

Hi Guys, I think I have a problem witht the steering in my 1982 Corvette. But I am not sure, because it has done it ever since I bought the car over a year ago. At first I thought it might be normal, but as I have got used to driving the car more often... it's beginning to feel like it's...

Hi All, I've read, that in the past BHP on the Corvette used to measured in "gross" format. I presume this means BHP at the engine crank (like on a dyno). But in later years they changed the format to "net" BHP. Which I think is supposed to mean BHP at the wheels??? I'm a little...

Hi Guys, This weekend, I got round to fitting my new Competition Cams Roller Rockers and brand new pushrods to my 1982 Corvette. And what a difference, the car feels like it's got 20 maybe 30 BHP more than when I started!!!! No joke!!!! This is the single, best improvement I have done...

Hi Guys, Whilst visiting my local tuning shop today, I noticed that they sell NOS systems for a pretty reasonable price. Now as part of my quest for more power I am considering installing a system early next year in my 1982 Corvette. My Corvette has had a full engine out rebuild just...

Hi All, I've just received my Comp Cams Magnum Roller Rockers for my 1982 Corvette. The blurb that comes with the set states that you must replace the pushrods when installing these roller rockers or the setup can be prone to failure. Has anyone else changed their pushrods? If so, how...

Hi All, I've been playing with the timing on my 1982. It's got various performance mods to make it a bit quicker. My G/Tech estimates 226Bhp at the moment. The roller rockers and K&N Filters are on the way as we speak!!! Question is, what do people feel is the best timing for the 1982...

Hi All, On the '82 Corvette you've got the amber side marker that is lit if you turn on the side/main lights. But, I've also got a "clear" light that is underneath the amber side marker. I can't see how to turn this on. How does the clear side marker work? Cheers Dazza
