    Let's Discuss The Raccoon! in The Room...

    Just be cautious, Jack rally isn't the nice friendly racoon we think of but is a giant racoon in disguise that was about 80kg, maybe as much as 180kg. Chapalmalanaia altaefrontis, so be nice.

    '63 trailing arm bearings/spindles

    Thanks for the suggestion. Was hoping that there would be someone in Ontario that could do them. They were done around 2004 and Ava +/- 20,000 mile and are lose. '63 were a slip fit vs a press fit in later years. Just glad that the problem was found before it caused a major problem. Have you...

    I don't know how/if you can adjust the spring pre load on non Z51. Someone else might know.

    Z51 C8

    Think you would need a special tool to do this. Not sure how hard it is.

    Z51 C8

    You can check the tire temperature by selecting it in the display options. Maybe make a note of the temp before/after a run. Maybe use an infrared gun to see the temp as well. Is there a way to do a burnout by disabling the traction control? What did you have the suspension set to using my...

    Z51 C8

    Weight and balance is seeing if the weight is the same on from side to side, each axle, on a scale. If not, then adjusting the springs to change the weight. Z51 have adjustable collars to do this front and rear. Maybe putting more weight or less on the wheel with hop might help. Perhaps raising...

    Z51 C8

    I've had wheel hop as well under somewhat brisk throttle application as well(Z51), temps around 15ºc. What tire pressure were you using? Think if you are tracking the car it should be lowered to 26psi as per manual? Have you done a weight and balance?

    '63 trailing arm bearings/spindles

    Whilst going over my '63 roadster and checking the rear wheels, noticed that there was play when rocking the wheel up and down and sideways. Further investigation found up and down play at the wheel flange(1/4"+). Need to have this repaired with new parts as needed. Is there anyone that is...

    C8 First Oil change

    Nov. 2, 2022, I had the first free oil/filter change done around 6,000km. I requested that the trans filter be change at that time. Dealer stated that they would not be able to change the trans filter as they 'were too busy doing winter tire change overs". Several posts have stated that the...

    Ron Fellows Performance Driving School-Would you consider going?

    One other thing to keep in mind is "target fixation". The C7 driver might have focused on you when he realized he was over the line and thus drove into you. Perhaps if he looked towards where he needed to go, he might have been able to avoid hitting you. Look where you have/need to go, not what...

    Newbie to group

    All of them! They are addictve and one isn't enough!:D Just have someone that is knows what to look for when you find one to avoid issues. What is your price range? Then ask here what are known problems. "Corvette Magazine" does a review of one of the "C" series about once a year with the price...
