I've had this car for only a month and I'm ready to sell it. I have been fortunate to have been a part of Corvette Action Center for many years but it's time for me to move on to another kind of car.
First of all, I have owned and enjoyed Corvettes for years. When the C6 came out I was kind...
I'm so excited! It's used, a 2005, but it has super-low miles on it. It's practically brand new. Got it on the mainland, it's coming over on Matson. Black coupe, black interior, automatic, heads-up, memory package. Doesn't have the DVD navigation but I didn't want it anyway. I'll post pics...
I ordered their "quiet flow" mufflers and had them installed today:

There is a horrible, low-level drone in these mufflers, driving in town is unbearable. Can't even hear my stereo, much less carry on a conversation with the passenger. I am very...
Okay, take a look at this car on craigslist:

Then scroll down to see how much the guy wants for it. Think they can get anyone to buy it for that much?
Well, after hearing about how good that one c4 steering wheel recovery guy on ebay is (on the OTHER forum, no less), I sent the dude a money order and waited to receive a pristine, recovered steering wheel. This is the same guy who will "rent" the steering wheel puller tool for $10, which I...
On my L98. It took me all day long yesterday. This was the first time I had the intake apart in twelve years of owning C4s, all I have to say is that next time I'll pay someone to do it.
I decided to replace the EGR valve, fuel pressure regulator, and all the o-rings in the fuel rails...
I call it anecdotal because I don't have any sound measuring equipment except my ears.
So I got two boxes of the stuff, came pretty fast and the company was a pleasure to deal with. They give you a little roller, but it's kind of useless, it breaks easily if you press down too hard. It's...
Hope it's okay to post this here. Check out this auction. The roof looks funny.

I finally got around to installing my new VBP stock-rate spring today, did it at work. Took me eight hours, much longer than I thought. People kept coming by to ask me all kinds of questions about the car, wondering what I was doing, I guess that was why it took me so long. That and the old...
If you click on this link and then click on "click here for additional photos", you'll see a beautiful 88 roadster with the rare dual engine option L98/LT1. It also has dual dash, and special paint and interior color that change from black to ruby red. They probably only made one of these with...
Been meaning to do this simple mod for years, and finally did it on Sunday.

What I found on my water pump is that the studs are tapered, so I couldn't put new bolts into the w/p, so I just left the studs in and put washers on the other end after...
Took the day off today, washed and waxed the Corvette. Just as I took it out on the freeway, Prince's "Little Red Corvette" starts playing on the local radio station, and people are waving at me. It's so nice to enjoy this car on a day off since I work so much, it's great to get it out on the...
Well, the guy who sold the C6 on ebay is "no longer a registered user", this after borrowing auto show pics and GM pics of the C6 and using them to sell the car. I laughed and I laughed. Obviously the car never existed...
I've never seen it done, but there is an 84 coupe on Ebay with an analog dash conversion. For anyone who's ever wondered about the conversion, here is proof that it can be done:

I hope someone has some ideas about my brakes. My brakes have been flawless up until a few months ago, when The Noise began. The left front brake makes this annoying grinding sound when I come to a complete stop, and when I wash the car, for instance when the rotor and pads get wet, there is a...
I wasn't sure where to post this, but people who own 84-89's might be interested. I put 6.5" speakers in the doors.

I've been putting new carpet in my car all week long, what a chore. Cutting, measuring, gluing, fitting, removing dozens of trim pieces and screws. I thought it would take a few hours at most, but here it is a week later I'm still working on it. All that and I get to work on it in a stifling...
Okay, so today we had breakfast on the other side of the island and stopped at a garden on the way back. Speedbumps in the parking lot, no big deal, but here in Hawaii they have the biggest speedbumps in the world. Add to that the hidden pothole on the other side of the one evil speedbump it...
Does anyone have direct experience using interior dye? I have an '89 coupe and want to do an interior color change from red to black. If I dye the door panels and the console sides, for instance, does the dye rub off easily? Any other tips? I already have new black seat covers and black...
