You are right. There are some changes to become accustomed to. Not bad though, not bad at all. My congrats to all who handled the tech part. Very smoth transition.

Its working!
Thanks for you hard work and dedication to this group of Corvette Enthusiasts!!

I like the elite guru is that the surprise? Will take a bit to get used to but so far its great!

Without all the help and tech support of bmwgsa, this never would have happened this fast!

We are up, we are running and everything seems to be working very nicely!

Whoo-hoo!!!!

As mentioned on the welcome screen, we are fixing a few bugs. There are posts missing, but don't fret about it, they ain't coming back! These were posts right at the cusp of the conversion and did not make it over.

We are LIVE!

Welcome to our new home!

I know this is really been beat to death, but here goes anyway.

I think you guys are finally getting the best of me. The more I contemplate my exhaust system dilemma the more I want to go ahead and order some long tube headers and install them now.

Out of all the types out there what is the best bang for the buck? Should I retain EGR or not? I do plan to pass Emission inspection here in Maryland.

What's a good way to go.

Hopefully he get thrown in jail before spring gets here but then again apparently he doesnt stay long in jail.

Goodbye C4guru hello corvetteguru :thumbright:

That level of stupidity must actually, physically, hurt.

damn.

Can you imagine what his insurance rates would be like if he could actually get some?

Hope everything goes without a hitch Andy, see ya at the new site! :thumbleft:

He was cited once for watching television while driving? Hello?

that is absolutely right.

yuppers! And you all are around to see it happen!!!

Well-done! I'll bet you'll see those 12's with a little more practice

Went to Beech Bend with my 01 6sp Z51 cp. yesterday. It was my first time at the track with this car. And the 1st time since 1994 that I was at the track with a manual shift car.

All things considered I was very happy with the end result.

On the 1st 2 runs I didn't do a burnout. Tire pressure was set at 29 hot after the 90 mile trip there.

1st run...Launched at about 2000 rpm, some spinning and wheel hop. Also some spin and hop in second. 60ft 2.11 1/8= 8.66 @ 79.12 1/4 = 13.43 @ 104.87....missed 3rd on this run.

2nd run...Launched at 3,000 rpm lots of spin and started wheel hop after the tree. 60ft 2.22 1/8= 8.75 @ 86.15 1/4 13.34 @ 108.65

3rd run... After to talking to an 11 sec. C5 Z06 driver I backed into the water and did a short burnout, then went straight to the line. I launched at about 1,800 rpm and got the clutch out real quick.

I then mashed the throttle, the car might have bogged some but there was no spin that I noticed. Also no spin or hop in second. 60ft 2.14 1/8= 8.60@ 86.48 1/4 = 13.16 @ 109.80

I'm pretty much a raw rookie at racing a 6speed so I made no flat shifts. I shifted as quick as I could but did a full but quick throttle lift between shifts. Also I was hitting 4th just before the traps. I also shifted at 5,600 - 5,800 rpm a few hundred rpm below red line just to be safe...

I'm pretty sure there is a 12 second run in the car but not so sure it has a 12 second driver. Maybe MR Mojo will be avalible to drive her into the 12's when he visits Beech Bend... Anyway I was more than happy to run 13.1 at almost 110...

Tommy - you are wack, dude... totally wack!!!

Down to 54 minutes! uh, car 54, where are you???

It's a done deal. I have a Photosmart 8050 printer that I use for printing stuff off the computer and small photo projects. I needed the Officejet all in one for recieving or sending daily faxes, occasional small copying projects and occasional scanning to upload items up to file. I bought the HP L7580 because of it's pricepoint ($239) and because of my familiarity of the product. It's replacing an Officejet 6110 so it's basically the newer bigger brother. It has a solid commercial feel to it not like some others I had appraised. My wife and I both are heavy handed so a delicate item would not fit the bill. Thanks for all your comments. I will keep them in mind if I upgrade the office at home or at work and apply your knowledge base as usual.

sadly... no... babe sections cause too much angst... people post crap that they shouldn't... they cause work filters to block us... and gee, do an image search on "babe" and you will only find 8 bazzilion hits.

I read a while back that it's much more economical to go with a printer that has separate ink cartridges for each color, if you go the inkjet route. One color is typically going to run out before the others, so you wind up wasting ink if you throw out a combo cartridge.

How did you determine the low current drain and what is the reading?

When the battery goes down, you say it won't start. Does it turn over?

Thanks for all the support! You guys rock!

Well, if the other solution is to chuck it out the window, you might as well give it a few mins and see if the thing works. It won't take you long to set it up.

See ya all later :thumbleft:

We also have a HP Photosmart C6180 All-in-One, which I'm thinking is similar to the one you're looking at. I think it's a really nice machine, the color printing quality is fantastic. If you already have a Photosmart, do you need to add the OfficeJet? Or is your current Photosmart not all-in-one?

That's the same advice I got from CorvetteKid - I'll be visiting the local Fastenal store shortly.

Will there be a babes section so we over the hill types can have something to remember how it used to be in the good ol days?

Just make sure the header bolts are long enough. My Hooker flange is thick and I went with 1" allen socket head bolts made out of SS. Any good fastener shop will have them.

Hmmm.

My battery drains after the car sits for a couple of days to the point that the car won't start -- it's a '94 Vertte. I have the FSM, have followed it's guidance and am now stumped. I know the following:

1. Generator checks out and is charging the battery
1a. While driving, the voltage -- as observed on the instrument - is
between 14.2 and 14.4 volts
2. The battery was tested on a load-testing machine and is fine
3. I removed the battery from the car and let it sit for a couple of days --
it did not lose its charge.
3. Current drain when the car is shut off -- very low
4. There are no aftermarket items installed

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Why is it that vette people are among some of the rudest people around? We're always bashing on one another. The newer gen's barely wave. And if you are 5 mins late your left out? I belong to other car clubs that allow any kind of cars and the people are not as uptight as some of us. For being among the few to own a Corvette we should be better than this.
I am looking forward to CorvetteGuru . Been a bad day here

Once more into the breach ...

Very cool Tommy

Pretty childish remark, but I figure he really can't do any better than that

...So, looks like there's 8 of us now.....

That looks pretty clean

Bring it to the next level

Here is a picture of the countdown clock taken just last evening.
As the launch gets closer; Andy,How do you feel?


I feel confident that everything is in place. We have worked hard
............................. on this project as a team getting ready for today.


So you feel everything is in place for a smooth transition
and the birth of a new Corvette experience here on the worldwide web?


Our team has worked continuously
to strive for the ultimate C4 experience. Now we'll share what we have learned
with a new and wider group of Corvette enthusiasts.


Everyone here on the East Coast also looks forward
to the new and improved CorvetteGuru. Do you plan to continue with the something for everyone approach?


Let's just say we have a big surprise in store for you and leave it at that.



Thanks Andy for taking a few moments out of your very busy schedule.
We'll be back of course after the launch for the latest updates

Thanks again for stopping by. We leave you now with a musical tribute.
Remember, Today is what you make it. Enjoy the ride..........

Pappy, maybe try one of these--

This would be my sled when the weather is co-operating. Like above 40*

Glad to see you made it.

its sad that this guy is turning out this way. Ive read some posts he posted in over at the other place and he seems like a decent guy to talk to. I also have noticed that he is all too quick to dis the irs in our cars. Also his claims of breaking all that irs stuff in his car just makes me wonder how much is actually true or is he exaggerating to make his setup look better. Ive never dealt with him but just the way he talks about his setup compared to the irs just makes me Leary. I'm not saying the irs is the best thing out there for drag racing and such but it cant be all that bad or else why would gm stay with it for so long especially in Zr-1s which is a true corvette powerhouse. gm made the corvette to be driven from point A to point B not to be beat on at drag strips and this is true about any production vehicle. Continual abuse can and will break things especially parts that aren't designed to take it.

Wow! NOS inkjet printer. Leave it sealed and wait for the price to go up.
Should be worth about what you paid for it at about the same time a C4 is worth more than 10K

What? maybe 20 years?

welcome from another new member

C'ya on the other side....

Gday Case

if it was a small chip, i would just hit it with some touch up paint, but it is kinda big'n ugly.

Well, now it's just sport. I'll keep poking the cats with a stick and see if I get a real answer out of any of them.

I asked for conclusive proof. Give me a side by side dyno that demonstrates AFRs are worth the money. No takers yet. I'll just keep asking and they'll keep telling me about FLOW.

What they don't anticipate, is that I'm stubborn. I will win on duration alone!
