Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105754 We had a 67° day today so I went out to the garage with the intent of finding an oil leak. I didn't find an oil leak, but I did find an antifreeze leak in the same area where I thought the oil leak was originating. One of the heater hoses needed the clamp tightened a bit more. Now, I won...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
ODO: 105,742 On the first of January, I proudly proclaimed "No oil leaks on the garage floor. I love a car with no oil leaks." Once I got her up on the jack stands and looked underneath, I saw the opposite. Oil covered the oil pan from front to back, but none had reached the floor. So when...

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Today, I stumbled upon this video of track mods for the C4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9PB3m6-Vd0
Maybe it will give you some ideas if you haven't seen it yet.

Hey BP, I have Hagerty's for my TBSS and the Corvette. Including the optional "Driver's Club" (for towing), my cost for the upcoming year was $600. But, don't be surprised when you lose your multicar discount from State Farm and your bill for your remaining cars goes up.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
It's likely my age, but I like as much light on the road as I can get.

Re: 1987 Corvette Z52
Speaking of headlights, I watched this YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLW8t4ilzgU
I now have the two components on order from Amazon. About $70.
I'm looking forward to some much improved nighttime driving.

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
The Blackstone oil analysis lab forced me to do it. They wanted to know how many miles were on the oil sample I submitted. My notes on TireSmoke were not complete enough for me to tell. The answer was somewhere between 750 and 2000. I will try to do better in the future. ODO: 105,673 oil change plus...

Re: 1996 Collector Edition Corvette
Up until now, I haven't been very fastidious about logging the work I've done on Silvia. Today I changed my evil ways. I downloaded a sample maintenance log from the web and modified it for my use. I read through the entire Tiresmoke thread of my Corvette and pulled all the major things I had done a...

Re: iAccel phone app
I've been doing some exploring of it and with the free version, the speed is limited to 80mph (maybe for safety reasons). I have sent a question in to the author to find out if the pro version will allow higher speeds. Author Jon Neades says: There are no restrictions on the ¼ mile test. It will re...

Re: iAccel phone app
Sorry. I forgot to add that part. It's a vehicle performance app for iPhones and android phones. iAccel is a performance meter designed to test the acceleration and braking performance of your vehicle. In use it displays a series of gauges to monitor performance and a continual graph of selected par...
