Hi I'm in the process of tire shopping & I came across a set of Pirelli's but they don't make 275/40/17. They have them in 285/40/17 instead. I checked the difference in calculations and it gives about 1.5 %. I was wondering if this would be fine, or if any one of you's already did this type...

I once saw in a magazine a company selling some kit that either allows the hatch door to be removed or the window in the hatch door. For 1984 and up models. It was a few years ago. As a convertible lover (but also needing a little bit of storage space, I thought this was a great idea. Does...

Last week I pulled into my garage and turned off my '87 coupe. The power antenae motor was running, trying to put the antenae back down, but it was not going down. I gave it a push, it went down, and the motor quit running. I forgot about it until yesterday, when I started the car and...

Subject: YOU A DEMOCRAT? OR REPUBLICAN? "You a Democrat or Republican?" asked the old man. "Republican," I replied. "Well, you can just go to Hell," yelled the old man as he sped off. Another guy stopped, rolled down the window, and asked me the

The same dealer that put a small hole in my rocker panel is going to replace my speakers. I'd rather not even let them see my car again, but they have to fix the rocker and at same time they are going to replace two blown/crackly speakers. (I actually think it's possible something is not hooked...

Hi I use an LRC10 laser jammer ( Ido not know if you have this model in the US ), it needs to be placed as near to the front number plate, as possible as this is where the police aim their radar guns. On my newly acquired 2001 corvette it all seams to be one piece at the nose end with no gaps to...

We have a 1978 corvette that we are replacing the rear wheel bearings.. The question is : on the spindle shaft there is a ridge that the bearing should pass over,is there a shim or spacer that goes between them? My haynes book does not show the ridge. Thanks Ron

American Collectors Insurance, does anyone have a good or bad feeling about their worth. I was quoted a price of about 25% of what my insurance company is charging me now for my 1972. Very nearly the same coverage, based out of Cherry Hill NJ, the NJ is almost enough to scare me off. ;-] Yes, I'm...

I researched till I'm blue in the face, but I am sure I missed something. But I know my virtual friends here in the vette group will help me! My 1992 LT1 corvete coupe takes about 5 or 6 seconds every morning to start... The engine "cranks" so I have eliminated a bad starter... Ive eleiminated a...

Hi.....how you guys and gals been? Haven't been up for awhile....but...today I am asking if anyone can send me to a reputable supplier of new brake lines...clips...bolts etc for my 75 project...I would like to find a supplier on the West Coast...........Thanks!

I'm upgrading the brakes and rotors. Are there any significant differences between slotted and drilled rotors? I suspect performance is the same, but I haven't found any information stating one way or the other. Holo

For the Tampa Bay area readers: do you have any experience with body shops in the area (Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater) for minor fiberglass repair. The tip of my C3's nose got scraped up and I'm not sure who to take it to. I got one recommendation for Superior Auto Body in north St. Peterburg. Any...

Sorry, this is not my '69 Corvette with problem, but: Recently my roomates 95 V8 Camaro failed smog ($69) with high emissions, last year it was overhauled in shop. Visual/Functional checks passed 15mph HC=181 C=1.13 failed 25mph HC=164 C=1.07 failed I then...

Hello all: I'm looking to buy my first Corvette. Its been 55 years and I'm ready. Today I took a '94 for the third test drive. During the first, the handling was exceptionally sloppy. Turns out the right rear tire was substantially underinflated. Test drive #2 was with repaired tire in light city...

Thanks for all the info on slotted/drilled brakes! I take delivery of my '05 in about 2 weeks and am curious regarding ideas/advice about "braking-in" new brakes. I've heard that the manual recommends no heavy brake usage during the initial break-in period for the car. I'm assuming that is probably...

I waxed my new '04 and in some spots, I can see very faint lines and swirls on the clearcaot, despite washing and wiping down first. Is there a way to buff these out by hand. They are so faint that most people might not even bother, but if I can get rid of them at next wax, I'd like to. Thanks, TF
