    FINALLY Got My Machine back !!

    Actually, It dims when running lights/headlights come on. It doesn't dim gradually as you wind down the switch. Unfortunately, to the best of my knowledge, there is no simple way to go from MPH to Kmh. It's in MPH and its installed.... Essentially, I was sent the wrong kit, no way to tell...

    FINALLY Got My Machine back !!

    Special Thanks Goes out to..... Andy's ALL TRANSMISSION in White Rock - Swapped out the stock turbo 350 for a 700r4 4 Spd Automatic. In another thread I explained why I needed to do this. (Previous owner lowered gears in the rear end, making it tough to catch up to that 'Mazda' on the Hiway) A...

    At what age and why did you buy a Corvette?

    Well, no one has posted here in some time, but nevertheless, the question has been asked, and I must answer...lol Ever since I was a kid and I still remember seeing my first 'stingray' Corvette. I have ALWAYS desired this generation of Vette. The C3. As a career change was imminent, at 40 years...

    Vertical Door

    Corvette Depot has the kit available, and, being in Canada, takes care of any Covid related delays regarding customs and duty etc...never mind the exchange rate. A few other things to tackle first tho'. But definitely, I'll post EVERYTHING... :p

    Aug 12/2020 - I know this post is a couple months old, but I DID see a post on FB Marketplace - a complete exhaust system for a C3. Did a screen cap n crop...

    Featured Just did a turbo 350 to 700r4 swap out on my '81.

    This vehicle of mine still needs some tweaking. Although the work is under warranty, maybe I should check that place out...Thanks

    It's just how the Turbo 350 and the 3.55's turned out. Sure, i could push it to 110kmh, but not for very long...engine was just screaming at that point....

    The place I had the work done made several calls, but without major shipping charges, couldn't locate a 700r4 close by. I decided to check out Marketplace on FB. Lo and behold, found one here in Langley, BC. $300. :-D I had a COMPLETE rebuild done on it.

    Yes it would've been great to simply swap back to the 2.87. It was the previous owner made that change, and to swap it back, very costly as I found out.

    Windshield Wiper Cover - C3

    I know this post is from 2009, but I am about to install one of these as well. Anyone have any tips?

    So, just finished this project. A few adjustments still. The extra length of the 700r4 requires a driveshaft shortening of 2 1/2 inches. As well, a new Transmission Crossmember support bracket which I acquired from Bowtie Overdrives in California. These folk specialize in this and make custom...
