Put an meter on your car and check the current drain out USNVET, take a little of the mystery out of the equation by measuring your car's current draw at rest. Both the C5 and C6 Corvettes should only draw about 10-20 milliamps of current when they are in "resting mode". My 2004 C5 draws 17...

Bradsit5, Almost forgot, I also have a 91 Aerobody convertible here in Carson City. It is red/gray interior/black top. A former owner in Colorado added the aerobody to a standard motor Corvette sometime in the past. I have owned this car since 2001 or so. When I had some "issues" with the...

Aerobody ZR1 Bradsit5, Give my cell a call (858-829-7126) and we can exchange email addresses. I have the first Aerobody ZR1 ever produced by Callaway and am the second owner. The first owner was a TV weather guy in Chicago. I bought the car back in 2002. My car is a 92 model that has...

Performance chip for ZZ4 Brandywine, Thanks for the recommendation. Before I go down the "chipped" road, I was wondering if you ever ran your new ZZ4 motor with the 91 factory PROM? Did you experience pinging from too much advance or not enough fuel? thanks, Steve

ZZ4 Pinging Brandywine, Thanks for the fast response. The work was done by the Corvette Shop in San Diego. I suspect they just re-used the factory L98 PROM. Can you suggest a chip source and model for the ZZ4 transplant? The car is a 91 automatic. Luckily, this car does not have to pass...

ZZ4 with 91 TPI setup Brandywine, Nice job on the ZZ4/TPI transplant!! I'll bet that combo moves you down the road just a bit quicker than the stocker 1980 motor... I just installed a factory crate ZZ4 in my 91 Corvette, transferring all of the 91's manifold and TPI gear over to the ZZ4...

Wheel Guys can't repair my bent rim BigMike, I appreciate the tip, but I was just at one of the leading shops in SoCal that straightens bent wheels for the off road racing crowd. They can even work on forged aluminum wheels. Anyway, US Wheels and Polishing in El Cajon CA did a great job for...

Since one of Gov Schwarzenagger's cost saving ideas apparently is to defer required road maintenance in SoCal, I am in need of a new or used front rim for my 2004 C5. Since the rims are quite soft (apparently due to the very open design of the five spokes), my rim was irrepairably bent with a...

Some updates to my previous GMPP/Mag Ride question I certainly could still use some actual feedback from anyone that has direct experience on whether the electronic shocks from the magnetic ride option are covered by the GMPP extended warranty. When I asked the question, I had already seen...

I have a 2004 coupe with the magnetic ride option. I am about to purchase a GMPP extended warranty plan, but was wondering if the very expensive magnetic ride shocks themselves are covered by the GMPP warranty. I have been told two different stories by two different dealers: 1. Mag ride...

Aqua Blue Callaway in CalNeva I can confirm that the ex-Steve Deshler, highly massaged, 1992 ZR1/Aerobody Callaway lives in Nevada right now, in the Carson City area. Here's a picture of it while still in San Diego last April. I will have to do some Photoshop work to webify/shrink another...

Logistics Solutions Are Us Chris, Well, I was making the logistics support offer to Eric, but I just noticed that he is down to 1 Corvette and you have 3, so I guess you are the much more needy case. I'd be glad to help you, as I am suffering a little wifely heat right now for having too...

I'm Here Eric/Chris, I am still here. I have just been a little busy at work and selling a house so that I can buy some more Callaways. Shh, don't tell my wife. Even though the house is not yet sold (went on the market this morning), I will get off my butt and call on the San Diego...

Accusump/Sandwich Plate Adapter Rather than molesting the LT5's oil filter casting, you might consider the use of one of these Frantz sandwich plates: https://vs01.tvsecure.com/~vs01037/orders/show20.html The D size sandwich plate will fit the ZR1's spin-on filter and only raises it about one...

Sledgehammer Steal While the Lincoln Zephyr V12 hot rod was $400K, this was also one of the most beautiful cars at the auction and had several national trophies. The price on the Sledgehammer is really put into perspective when a very nice, but very stock Shelby GT500 Mustang convertible was...

Sledgehammer Just Before the Auction Hammer Here's the Sledgehammer and the Twin Turbo ZR1 Speedster, just before the auction hammer dropped on both of them on January 24th at the Barrett-Jackson auction in Phoenix. Both of them sold well below my expectations, but well above my available...

Anyone know these guys? See attachment.

See attached picture and answer the questions. 1. Did this man bid on the C7R at the Barrett-Jackson auction? 2. If so, how much did he bid? 3. Did he get in trouble with certain powerful family members? 4. Did he get confused later and travel in a different car through the auction...

Rotomaster Alternatives The issue never was that a good turbo shop could not rebuild the Callaway Rotomasters to correct normal wear -- the issue was, and remains, what to do with an unrepairable Rotomaster housing. This could happen as a result of an accident, severe road debris, cracked...

C4 Coilovers I have a 92 ZR1 that has DRM coilovers on it. The car is lowered at bit, but still clears the parking lot/shopping center tank traps. With 335/30-18s Pilot Sports at the rear, the measurement from fender lip to ground at the rear is 27 3/8 inch. With 385/35-18 tires on the...
