Thanks !
Here's what it looks like outside (taken a few moments ago - with my son at the helm !) Not bad at all IMHO - She's getting a new set of Firsetone Firehawk Indy 500 tires and an alignment tomorrow. $900 more on the tab so the painted centers will do until next year when I finally...
Hello,
My `88 stock wheels center caps had heavy oxidation around the logos that made the rims look bad so until I get the $$ to buy new replacements (between purchasing the car for $8750 and replacing parts I'm pretty much tapped out cash wise at this time) I decided to take a crack at...
Thanks Bill ! She's going in for new tires this week. The ones on her now are Riken Raptors from 2007 and they're dry cracking at the threads. Getting new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500's this Tuesday. Also sending out the stock non Bose radio to Ecklers for refurbishing as I want to keep the dash...
Thanks Tom!
Definitely not perfect, but a perfectly nice driver !! Of all the used cars I've bought for commuting over all my 40+ years of working 50 miles away from home, none had less miles than this weekend cruiser !! I'd like to keep it at least a few years and then maybe get into a nice C6...
I know this is an "old thread" but being I just swapped out all the plugs on my `88 L98 - I noticed all the new plugs out of the box were gapped at .040 -.045 using my machinists calipers. I checked my handy ring gage gap tool and the .035 mark was off a few thousands undersized so I had to...
I recently looked at Ecklers for a tune up kit for my `88 and what I didn't like was that the kit did not mention the brands of the parts listed e.g. what make spark plugs ... so I ended up trying out Advanced Auto's on line order/store pick-up service because they gave me a 25% off web coupon -...
thanks ! She was running a bit rough and hard starting was making me nuts. Changing the passenger side plugs was a three hour profanity filled - two beer affair but this car is so cool I kept the tunes going and took many mini breaks just to stay positive. The cap and rotor was an easy job that...
Well, I just finished changing out all the plugs in my `88 and what a $%#% the passenger side was to do !!! It took me almost three hours for four plugs - I used all kinds of ratchets, extensions, swivels and a box wrench to get the job done. The plug closest to the firewall required the box...
Funny you should suggest this as I just ordered up all the AC Delco Cap, Rotor, Plugs and Wires from Advanced (got 25% off coupon) I will be having some fun this weekend ! Thanks !!
Thanks ! I had some doubts about the mileage at first but the CarFax listed a shop that did some maintenance work on it and so I called the guy to ask if he remembered the car and he did and first thing he said was "that car has less than 20k miles on it!" then he asked me how I got it because...
Also a first time Corvette owner on 1/1/20 - 1988 Black/Saddle Coupe, 17k miles, Auto, Z52, Glass Roof, 2.59 Gears (I just leave it in 3rd gear around town and use 4th on highways)
Sofar I've replaced the emblems, new black floormats & air filter
Also have spent at least 30+ hours detailing...
