Ya'll. I have a winky vette and rather than fix the driver side headlight to popup properly I think I'd like to delete the whole damn HL related system and go with something fixed and a lot brighter if possible. What's the state of the art for this sorta thing?

Well, after years of beating on it, she started making unpleasant sounds. Turned out to be a rod bearing on its way out. While taking it apart discovered some rings were broken and one cylinder was pretty badly scored. A HG probably lifted and there was a little fluid in another cylinder. Damn...

I was talking to big2bird not long ago about this. I sitll have it in mind to get a Guldstrand 5-link for the rear suspension of my 82 as it still seems the most polished off the shelf package as far as I can tell. Bonus, it can be installed at Dick's shop for a little extra cache perhaps. But I...

Looking to sell the L83 from my 82, minus Crossfire and trans. I know there's nothing particularly special about these blocks, except, I think they did come with forged pistons stock (TRW something or other.) What do ya'lls think is a fair price?

If you've ever wondered what your Vette puts down and live in SoCal, we're trying to put together a small group (10 cars min) for this Saturday 5/15. $50 for 3 pulls including A/F. That's cheap. http://motorgen.com/forum/showthread.php?t=16245

Here's some video from our last meet. Video taken from the cockpit of an old Mach1 and my C3. That's Doug's Red C3 in the begging (before . . . the incident). Darrow came out too but disappeared somewhere in the mix. And there's a fair bit of Glenn's 64 Vette as well. This was our biggest...

This is my Pals pretty heavily modified C6 running Buttonwillow back in October. I tried to get a little artsy with the video here and there.

Howdy folks. Here's a vid from our last (Motorgen.com) cruise. In bits and pieces you'll see Doug (red C3), his wife (black C6), and his buddy (blue C3). There were a couple other Vettes on the run not in the video. Always open to any and all makes and models. The whole vid is taken from the...

I have a mis. When I back off the throttle it pops. I've changed plugs. The problem is somewhat intermittent so I'm pretty confident it's electrical or electro-mechanical (not "mechanical" like backed up cats or something like that.) My packs and harness were off a fairly high mileage car. I'm...

Howdy, Well, one of the dangling issues on my C3 is that the coolant gauge reads WAY higher than it actually is. This is apparently because of a mismatch between the sender from the engine and the stock 82 gauge. Anybody have any idea what the correct sending unit would be to use on my Gen III...

Howdy, I'm vaguely recalling something Xander (Zander?) said when the twins were out in Cali about a Nascar style "cold" air induction for C3s. This is a request for further info. My LSx H&C is taking air purely from the engine compartment and worse, the intake is pretty much running along the...

Howdy kids. If you're in SoCal and want to roll out to hang with some Vettes and bunches of other Makes and Models why don't you come to our September Meet. Regulars are me, Douglas Mariani and Brutal64. big2bird makes it on occasion as well as some other Vette types I don't know. There is a a...

So TT said the Greenwood rear suspension was hands down the best, once upon a time commercially available, C3 rear suspension. I tried searching but couldn't find much on it. I only saw a passing reference to a Greenwood multi-link, but not to SLA setup as I thought TT was referring to. So, is...

So I finally had my Vette weighed today. I had it done at Shorr metals on their big truck scale, so we're talking gross weight +- 20lbs. It was filled with 22 gals of gas, so a full wet weight. 3,100 lbs It's a 1982 C3, so it used considerably more aluminum and other weight savings over the...

From our cruise yesterday. Me in my H&C C3 and a buddy in his gnarly C6 Z51.

Here's some video from our recent cruise through Azusa canyon in Southern California. All video taken from the cab of my H&C LSx C3. The last video runs nice and long (if you like scenery) through Azusa canyon itself.

Ok, that's probably not the most descriptive title, but aha, you're reading now. BACKGROUND I have a 1982 Corvette. With a Heads and Cam LSx, T56 and other bits of wholesome goodness. The engine is pretty stout. Here's my Dyno Run from the first Bird Run Here's my Dyno Sheet from said pull...

Howdy fellers. If you live in SoCal, aren't doing anything on the 21st (this coming Saturday) and are curious to know what your baby puts down to the ground, why not come on out to our dyno day. It's open model, with lots of different cars, but there will be at least a few Vettes, including my...

Yes I know you can watch it on YT, but for those who want to see the whole episode on tv, next Monday on BBC America the TG Episode with the ZR1 will be on. It will also have the CTS-V and Challenger.

For any of you in SoCal, my pals and I at Motorgen.com will be having our monthly meet on January 10. It's a totally open Make/Model kinda thing. Me and BRUTAL64 will be there and you can expect any of the following and beyond. -Fbodies -Vettes -Evos -WRXs -DSMs -TurboBuicks -Syclones/Typhoons...
