Well, I'll count 'em for you to make sure the number is accurate.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 106,431 I've been tinkering with the Vette over the last couple of weeks and just wanted to get an update in here for historical reasons. First, I ended up needing to remove the door panel from the driver's side. Again, following the nature of C4 repairs, it was not easy. Well, it was certainly...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
BP, you just inspired me. Your post on C4 headlight aiming triggered a memory. Decades ago, I bought a headlight aiming tool. (actually it only assists in adjusting in the vertical plane) I've been meaning to get Silvia's headlights aimed correctly for a long time now. Your post caused me to dig out...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 106,364 I spent a lot of time this week working on Silvia. A lot of the work was self inflicted. :( It all started with another foray into Sport Seat refurbishment. While installing the rebuild kit from my Texas friend, I realized that I have overlooked a problem beyond those that I had already...

Re: 1963 Corvette
Before you pull the intake, is there any way to spray some brake cleaner in that area to dry it off, then run it for a while. Even if you have to use a mirror and a light, it might be worth it to eliminate the intake leak as the source before looking elsewhere.

Memory saver for disconnected battery
I finally got tired of resetting all the electronic stuff in my cars after changing batteries, so I bought this adapter: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WRNPX39?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I chose this because it connects 12 volts to the car's electrical system through the obd2 connect...

Re: 2024 Drag Racing Stuff
I assume you were running with traction control off. I was wondering if there is any benefit to using it at the strip.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
OK, both seats are finished. Both have full movement and a good and thorough cleaning and rejuvenation. I'm amazed at the great condition of these seats. There is virtually no wear and tear for 106K miles and 27 years of use.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 106,293 While I have the passenger seat out, I thought it would be a good time to treat it with Leatherique Professional Leather Restoration product. There are two parts to the kit, a Rejuvenator Oil and a cleaner. The first step is to generously slather the Rejuvenator oil over the entire seat...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
I couldn't have done it without the know-how and parts from Richard Finley in China Spring, Texas. He provided an excellent video and some used plastic parts for a reasonable price. Very helpful guy. He also prints the plastic parts for this transmission as well as providing a rebuilding service.
