Congrats on your "new" Vette. I felt the same way about mine and years later still do. Every time I walk by it I give it a little pat on the rump. Feel free to compare C5 notes with us anytime.

Check my link - I asked a similar question a while ago ..... https://canadiancorvetteforums.com/threads/c5-abs-module.38726/#post-211393

You probably don't need any more C5 comments to decide but you will be getting the best bang for your buck C series for sure. Mine's a '99 and even though it only has 41,000 kms on it, it's easily the most reliable car I've ever owned. Like everyone says, make certain the steering lock issue has...

Just wondering if the quiet ride kit and or the carpet/trunk padding helps to make it quieter. Mine is a coupe so not too convinced it's going to work as well as your model.

I'm seriously considering doing the same on my C5 this winter. I need the Sport Seat version and noticed they cannot do the Vette flags and name stitching currently. Anyhow the product looks good and your pics help to explain what's involved. Is this Interior Innovations an American company and...

Wow - how did I miss that! Thanks for the info. Sounds like 2 possible options, either to send the old one in for rebuild or convert to a newer version. Would be nice to be able to just buy one and keep it on hand just in case. Something I've wondered too is what happens when one of these goes...

I’m pretty sure this topic has been beaten to death but here’s the question anyway. Researching the availability of ABS Module rebuilds lately, I’ve noticed that replacements/rebuilds are available for only 2000 - 2004. Mine’s a 99 and it seems there is nothing available for 97 thru 99 that I...

Same story all over again this spring. No response from the fobs even though the batteries are good. If I reprogram them I'm good for about a month then problem repeats. I guess I'll need to look into that antenna thing. Or just reprogram them every month. Funny thing, after about a month the...

Sure wish I was in Florida instead of here but I'll be watching for sure.

Use your old ones if the batteries can actually be changed. I decided to try aftermarket because the original new GM versions were ridiculously expensive on my C6 wheels and that was a mistake. The dealer could not program the new ones to match even with all the latest tools. Doesn't mean there...

Here's one more thing to think about. If you haven't done anything come May next year, contact me again. I might be interested in selling the entire combination of C6 wheels/Michelin Super Sport Tires (13k kms use) with rear adapters. I'm considering a completely different aftermarket setup...

I felt the original wheels did nothing (mine weren't magnesium style) for the car so made the change. The C5 and C6 are interchangeable bolt wise. You can resolve the adapter issue completely by going to an aftermarket set of wheels that appeals to you and simply order with the appropriate wheel...

Think I mentioned that above. Mine were from Stingray Auto in Mississauga. They were 30mm wide. BTW the tire size I'm using is P245/40R 18" on the front and P285/35R 19" on the rear. You should know that increasing the wheel and tire size like this will result in approx 3-5 km/hr increase over...

I agree. I carry the same kit.

I did use the spacers first. I would definitely go to the adapters though if I was to do it again. They are more solid, secure and better spacing. I double checked and my adapters are 30mm or approx 1.30 inches. I got them installed along with other work at Stingray Auto here in Mississauga...
