    Thinking about a C4

    Hi all, Haven't posted here for ages since I sold my C3. I am sort of turning back to buying another Vette and at the moment older late 80's early 90's C4 are seriously cheap here in the UK with quite a few having been shipped in from Japan. Now on the C3 it was nice and mechanical, broken was...

    Sidepipes are on, Fire-up party this week

    Well today is the first time my Vette has seen sunshine in about two years, kinda lost my enthusiasim for it a while back but decided to drag it out and dust it down and see if the whine of the PJ geardrive and the thunder from the sidepipes can get me going again. :D

    UK Leigenfelter on EBAY

    Take my 81 to the next level

    I will have a small amount of money to blow and as usual numerous idea`s. I was looking for another runaround but can`t find a decent Supra for the money I have, most of the imports seem to have almost un-traceable history and original UK models are still pricey. So that leads me to probably...

    My friend let me know about a 78 that has been entered in a local auction next month. It is one of the first 78`s with VIN# 400006 and it has the original engine.

    Picked up a set of Gotti 3-piece split rim wheels.

    I guy I know had them in his garage for a while with nothing to to put them on. I have to give him back the tyres and they need dismantled and cleaned up but I got them cheap. They are 9x15 fronts and 11x15 rears. Looks like next project will be some rear bodywork. :L J.

    Fitting Sidepipes on my 81 - a question

    Now I am ready to hang the sidepipes, I wondered what was the best way to attach them to the side of the car. Is it ok to hang them from the holes that the rocker panels are attached to. Is this stong enough or do I need to mount them to the chassis. They are a lot heavier than I thought they...

    Comp Cam was rusty !!

    I eventually decided to get out and put my new cam in this afternoon. When I opened it up it was unwrapped and had rusted. Nothing to serious but I was surprised I expected it to be wrapped and lightly oiled. :( Anyone else had this with a Comp Cam, the box didn`t look like it had been...

    Sidepipes arrived yesterday

    It must have been to much cheap booze at Christmas but for some unknown reason even though I have a perfectly good exhaust I ordered a set of sidepipes when I was on holiday. This leaves me with two very nice Micron Alloy mufflers, they are rebuildable, have 2 1/2" inlets and come with nice...

    Anybody have 17" wheels on their C3 ??

    I eventually got round to going for a look at the Billet Centerline wheels my friend has for sale. They look awesome but as with all good things in life they are not cheap, £1000 for the set. The only minor problem is the size, for some reason he bought 7x17 with 255/40 tyres for the front and...

    Hi, My friend and I popped down to a local show`n`shine today, ok it wasn`t BG but its not often you get to see 9 or 10 C3`s in the same place over here so it was worth the trip. Check out the show`n`shine section later tonight for the pictures they will be under the heading "Preston Park"...
