not trying to be rude or anything. but why do you type like that. i mean people try to find corners to type faster like no instead of know or other things but my spell check was on fire when i was reading your comment. all the words sept for A have lines under them.

you have a 4+3 for 300$? if it is im interested and maybe later on ill do the zf6 swap

yeah there is a lot of things ive got to do to the car. so ill probably be driving my moms saturn around for a little bit cause i live downtown ATM and i cant do any work on the car till i move away from downtown on the 1st!

slept in till 10AM :D. have to work from 4pm-11pm(DUMB SHIFT!!!!) also have to drive my camaro today because someone is interested in buying it. probably good im not driving the vette cause the clutch and tranny is messed up.

Brian is here to ask as many questions about his corvette cause its a POS right now.

ok thanks. cause its kinda embarrassing being stuck at a light and killing it cause i didnt give it any gas and my clutch is already F*** up so flooring it isnt helping.

i recently bought a 1988 corvette. the gas pedal in the corvette is really weird sometimes. it is really hard to push then all of a sudden it just gives out of no where and i rev it up to like 3000 rpm. ive been stuck at a stop cause i cant just ease the pedal in. i push it and it dosent move push it harder it dosent move push it even harder and then it gives and i basically floor it. anyone no why this is? sometimes it dosent do it. mainly when the car is cold.

yeah the clutch is messed up also. i need a new clutch and tranny. you think i should just do the zf6 swap? if i do the rebuild ive got to pay someone to do that cause i dont no how to rebuild the gears.

no i live downtown and had to park 4 blocks away so i didnt want to walk all the way over there. i doubt it is a z51 or z52 but im just wondering the difference.

whoops i just noticed i said mpg, and what i mean by picking on me is because everyone else was speeding also but why would they pull over the suburban when they can get the corvette. im real careful when i drive i never drive over the speed limit when im in residential, but i do go over on freeways. 65 i WAY to slow, i have done 140 in my camaro but that was at 4 pm and there wasnt a car in site. also when i have other people in the car like a date i go the speed limit. my date keep trying to get my to unload my camaro on the freeway for her, but i wouldnt do it. main reason i was going 91 was because it was 8AM i just got off work and didnt want to go down to sell my camaro and everyone else was going relatively fast so i didnt notice how fast i was going.

my insurance is 194 a month. with the ticket. it went up about 10$ ill go to traffic school to take it off thou

HAHA lol. how did he get that down to 80? if i was going 122 on a freeway with no one around and there was a cop car pulled over. i would just hit the gas. :D he wont catch up to me from a dead stop. get off 2 exits down and back on the freeway the other way :D

well maybe everyone was going like 80 or 85. but im not that worryed cause 9 out of 10 times i get in my car im going over the speed limit. ill take that ticket everyone so often.

Well you sir are lucky. maybe its cause im 18. cops give 18 year old tickets for anything.

yesterday i got off work at 7AM(graveyard shift) so i drive home(10 miles) then someone calls me to look at my camaro to buy it(its about 10 miles away) i told him ill meet him there in about 40 mins. so im cruising down highway 50. same speed as everyone else so i didnt notice my speed. a motor cycle cop was waiting on the side road and clocked me at 91MPG pulled me over and gave me my FIRST ticket EVER. he didnt even go easy saying 85 or 80 he gave me a 91 in 65. but the thing is he was just picking on my cause im in a corvette. everyone else was going about the same speed cause i wasnt FLYING past anyone and there was a good amount of people on the road so its not like i was swerving in and out of people to get to 91MPH i was in the car pool lane the whole time.


anyone else got stories of the cops picking on you cause your in a "sports car"

whats with the box on the top. i cant tell if its lt1 or l98 with that thing on it.

thanks for the info guys. on the first i move to my new house so ill take some pictures of it and post them. then once i fix everything ill post some before and after pics.

thats for the info guys. im really learning alot.

oh wow i didnt no that. thanks for the info. so in the summer it will be ok to turn the a/c on HIGH :D. i had a ford thunderbird that would heat up high when i would drive home from work. so 30mins in 105F temp i would have the heater on full blast. i would sit on towels so i didnt mess up my interior with sweat

Lol next dumb questions whats a NCM. sorry im 18 im still learning.

a/c??? i always thought it was turn on the heater. cause it takes the heat from the engine and blows it into the car.

wow thats nice. how much and where.

ok thanks. how easy is it to change the thermostat in a corvette cause changing it in my moms Saturn you have to take so much stuff off. ill watch the temp more clearly to see how hot it is geting on the freeway



yesterday a cop pulled me over for going 91 on the freeway and the temp was 190 i remember looking for some reason well he was writing me a ticket.

well i figured out why i hate it. its cause its messed up lol. it was driven without any gear lub for ALONG time. the other day i was at a stop light(there was alot of traffic i was in the front) i had it in neutral and when the light turned green i couldnt get it in 1st lol. the gears would match up and slide in. so i put it and second Reved it up and dumped the clutch lol. i was the only on in that lane that made the green light. whoops sorry guys :D

go to vettestripes.com they have some good c4 stripes.

a stiffer ride thats it. so i could put some z51 shocks on my vette and it would be just like a z51. and when you mean stiffer do you feel every bump you hit lol. cause i hold my breathe going over train tracks at 20mph. hit my head on the top of car also. but im 6'5 so its a really close fit anyways/

ive seen the radiator fan on. where is the cooling fan. i no i have a huge leak in the coolant tank(toward the top so it dosent empty all the way). but the radiator is always full of coolant.



oh btw im parker somthing was wrong with my old account so i made a temp account.

great looking vette. im just not a fan off those type of lights.

oh so they dont do every 5 year anniversary. what is the rpo sheet and the center console was completely tore up so i cant look under there. but was does the z51 have compared to the reg.

hi i recently bought my first corvette so i just started geting into them. ive got a 88. how can i see if its a z51 or z52 or w/e they are. also how can i tell if it is the anniversary edition.

the other day the same thing was happeneing me and my friend jacked it up and he looked at the slave cylinder and saw that the arm on it or somthing was hiting. when i called him he just went under neath the pedels and tightened somthing. problem fixed. now the same noise is happening. i live downtown and dont have a garage or a driveway to jack the thing up. it the noise only happens when there is no pressure to the clutch.

yes its metal hiting metal it sounds like a taping noise. it might be my slave cylinder.

i just bought a 88 corvette and the person i bought the clutch from put a whole new clutch system in recently. anyways when the corvette idles without me pushing the clutch in i hear a click click click click click sound. i took it back to the person that put the clutch in and he got underneath the pedels and adjusted something. anyways i go to drive it today and the same click click click noise is happening. my mom thinks is might be the fly wheel or somthing. anyone have advice?

it was a typo can we get back to the point?

yeah i am. how is central coster lol.

I HATE IT. how much is a 6 speed tranny and how hard would it be to put on myself? (1988)


Edit:
ok so the reason i hate the 4+3 is because it needs a whole new rebuild all the gears and everything.

so i have two options do a 4+3 rebuild or put a zf6 in the car.

im selling my camaro for 3800 so i have about 4500 to put into the corvette. I need almost all new interior that will cost me about 1 grand. and ill probably need to put around 500-1000$ into the engine(maybe thats just a complete guess out of no where) my question for you is it worth putting the zf6 in there or should i just rebuilt the 4+3.

putting a zf6 is about 2000$ and doing a rebuild probably 1200$

anyone like the zf6 better then the 4+3 or like the 4+3 better then the zf6.

(also ive got a friend with a 5.0 mustang that thinks he is hot ****. is the zf6 faster so i can blow his 5.0 away)

ok so i just bought a 1988 corvette. This is my first vette and i love it. but the thing that i HATE HATE HATE is the hydrolic clutch and the 4+3 transmission. i found a lt1 corvette engine with a 6 speed transmission for 1600 could probly talk him down to like 1400. do you think this is a good deal to do and if i did it how much could i sell my L98 and 4+3 for? also is it easy to change the hydrolic clutch! i cant stand the thing.
