Looking for good C5 cover
I got mine form Car Covers Direct. It is a NOAH Dustop, part # Part # C15495TS. I have been very happy as it fits well and really does a nice job of keeping the car protected in the garage during the winter. My main concern is dust. Nothing gets through. -
2002 C5 Z06 Just Moved to Saskatchewan this weekend
Nice ride! All black looks super. -
Got backed into
Thanks guys. I didn't get too worked up about it as it's just a car. No one got hurt, yes it sux but it can be fixed. For those of you who know of it, I took it to Doug's Place for an estimate- $3000. Said they'd have to remove the panel for repair and paint, plus remove the hardware from... -
Got backed into
My baby! Rear drivers quarter, behind the rear wheel. Doesn't look like much, but it's a 3 grand touch. To the credit of the young girl who backed into me in the parking lot while I was doing minor hockey executive work, she stuck around till I came out. She, her dad, and another guy (uncle or... -

I wish Manny could mod my engine...it could use a little more "pep! Manny I was just curious about the bottom end in the previous question, just wanted to know your thoughts as I am certain you would not go ahead with the mods if they were not a sure thing. That car sounds- and looks- amazing...- Semis57

speeding
I'm pretty careful for that exact reason, 120 in the minivan, they'll let you go by, 120 in the 'Vette- you're toast! I think being in a Vette invites all sorts of behavior from those around you- guys that want to race, people almost crashing as they stare, thumbs up from just about anyone, and...- Semis57

Manny- I would be worried about the bottom end by adding so much HP, especially if stock... is it modded?- Semis57

Going to try a few repairs...
Took delivery of the seat trim, the one that houses the power seat switches. Mine was broken and repaired poorly. It finally came apart. Took apart the trim and seat switches, put the new trim up to find it had an extra mounting post! Apparently this was a upgrade to counteract the ease of... -
Going to try a few repairs...
Finished the seat fix. Toughest part was lifting the seat in and out of the car! And grinding down 7/16 washers to act as bushings. Guts of the seat Adjuster with mashed up rubber bushing. It was like goo, nothing really left of the rubber. Apparent reaction with grease is what... -
Going to try a few repairs...
OK, I did the heater control repair. In the above images you will see the fully functional and bright as new display, followed by a pic of the job in progress. I used some info I found while surfing the net for repair options. Mostly it went well although I had to buy a new soldering iron... -
Going to try a few repairs...
Got my work cut out for me this weekend. Just bought a new front air dam to replace my ratched up one, so will install that. Going to pull the drivers seat to try and fix the "rocking" problem (it's bad), and finally, going to pull the heater control to fix the dim display. Next on the list... -
Trunk sticking
Hey TGstring, now that I think about it the trunk gives me more trouble on hot days...I think I will give that a try! Thanks for the suggestion, I'll slick-up the weatherstrip and see what happens. -
Trunk sticking
Heard about it, also heard the spring is too agressive and distorts the trunk lid. -
Trunk sticking
After getting back into it for a few weeks, I can see why this is such a pain for me. I am not always in the car when I pop the trunk (popped via remote), then forced to open and close the drivers's door. Not a big deal, but a pain when I'm using the trunk a lot. Or when the top is down. I... -
Where to purchase fobs?
Update- I did not need a new fob! After battery replacement, I just thought it would "work". After some surfing around I learned standing at the driver's side, near the back corner and holding the lock and unlock buttons down at the same timefor 12 seconds, will re-sync an already synced...
