I fear that they will fall off or bounce away when I'm driving..
they come with 3 small headless hollow hex screws. (with a teeny
L-shaped hex tool)
The spinner comes with an extruded hub.
Try entering "Corvette Wheel Angle...

Doesn't start up straight away by
E_Tar
I drive my vette to work twice a week and use it once on weekends.
I cover it in a 'breethable' cover the rest of the time.
ok, now to the problem, It is a '77 with a fairly new engine (1 year
old GM 350)
It doesn't start up right away sometimes.
I usually pump the accelerator pedal once before...

cops and corvettes by
E_Tar
This morning I went to starbucks for coffee. I took my vette out (One
of the two times a week its taken to work). When I came out I saw 2
uniformed cops giving it the walkaround.
I panicked for a second, but then I realized they were just admiring
it..
So I walked up and said "morning officers"...

help..

'64 Banshee by
E_Tar
Amazing.. !
In 1964, Pontiac almost beat Chevrolet to the c3 design.
Thank god it didnt. But then again, this car did have a lovely front
lip.

It would have been hefty competition for the Corvette. GM stopped it,
and then Pontiac president John DeLorean...

Wheel hub Extensions on a 1980 C3 by
E_Tar
Was wondering, would a 1-inch front and rear wheel hub extension be
advisable for a c3 -1980 roadster ? The result would be the tires
jutting out an inch more on either side in the rear giving the car a
meaner look and (I assume) improving handling.
Would it be advisable ?

Fiberglass shock absorbers ? by
E_Tar
A colleague of mine just humiliated me in front of a few other
co-workers.
We were all discussing dream cars and I told them that one of the most
beautiful set of lines ever to grace a car was the c3 corvette design.
We started debating corvette vs German efficiency.Well to cut a long
story short...

Dealer woes by
Fake Name
I recently bought a '92 from American Sportscar Center. While the
initial purchase was ok the post sales support in documenting the car
for emissions, tax and tag was a hassle. I can no longer recommend
this dealer.

1993 Corvette Speedometer by
[email protected]
I have a 1993 corvette. The past owner put a 4.09 rear-end in it.
This has thrown the speedometer off. When the speedometer says 74, the
car is actually going about 64. I think the fix is to replace the
speedometer drive/driven gear(s). Can someone confirm what I need to
change to correct my...

2001 DTC C1214 code problem by
FBNE
Recently my 2001 displayed "service abs" & "service action traction
system" warnings. I ran the error codes and had a number of stored (non
current) codes and the C1214. All cleared with the exception of the
C1214. On every startup the warnings reappear and the guilt lights stay
on the dash....
