Well, pretty po’d today. Had the vette out for a little run and stopped off at the grocery store on way home. When I came back out, I noticed the hood looked funny even from across the parking lot. When I got closer I could see multiple deep and long scratches all over the hood. It looks like...

Nah, just replace them. A short would have popped a fuse before the bulb. These lights live a hard life, they burn out after being in place for a few years.

I do belive the 91 armrest is a little different from the “atari dash” interiors. GM may have redesigned the inner structure (making it a bit stronger) when they redid the interior.

A PO changed out the top on my 88 at some point in the cars past. The car is supposed to be triple black, but they installed a saddle colored top. Thats irritating (its in good shape so I can’t justify the cost of replacing it yet), but thats not the worst of it. When they installed it (or had...

Memory is a little foggy these days, but if you’re referencing the light housing studs, I believe its a 10mm on my 88….

I would assume all c4’s have this issue: the “lid” on the center console cracks inside and makes the whole thing a mess. Like most c4 interior pieces, its 30+ year old crappy plastic and it doesn’t stand up well to either time or use. Especially a pita since we all know getting in and out of a...

Recaro replacement lumbar bladders arrived: They’re a little less wide than the oems, but otherwise, the fit appears to be quite good. The construction is miles better than the “plastic bags” gm originally used and these will probably outlast the car. Now I just have to buy a set of hog ring...

Seats are back from the upholstry guy. before: After: Not too shabby! they’re not “factory fresh”, but thats not what I wanted. I wanted them to look like originals that were lightly used and well taken care of. 1000 bucks to have both seats done, but worth it! :)

For the large runner tpi, I'm basically modelling off what this gent built for his T/A over on thirdgen: Things to note: 1. runners are a full 2" OD, 1.8" ID 2. Runners shortened a couple inches (moves torque curve up rpm range slightly) 3. Upper plenum extensively reworked to add volume 4...

One thing I would recommend if using xenon bulbs is to take a lint free cloth and some rubbing alcohol (90% or better) and give them a wipe down before installing them. like halogen bulbs, oil from skin (ie: fingers) creates a hot spot when they’re on and that can shorten their lifespan...

Was thinking about it and few things I should mention about the hood release springs before someone goes out and has a good curse session with my name in it: The catch pin/springs have a relationship to thier depth adjustment and the hood "bumpers". Should you shorten the pins too much, they...

It's CE 6 RE3. CE isn't that bad in this application. It's light and pretty quick, demands on it are really pretty low. I wouldn't doubt this one has been stripped down to it's minimum, making it even faster. As Long as you leave it alone and don't try to "hack" it, no worries. It's got a...

It's a dual OS unit. Windows CE and some things (nav, etc) are Android. Strangely enough, it all plays together just fine. No idea on brand, it's a generic unit. I bought it as a "get you through" piece (price was cheap), but it's good enough that I'll probably keep it until it dies (which could...

Just testing the waters for now and seeing how it goes. Staying in the C4 section exclusively.

Those aren't mine, just passing it on.
