Is the countertop damaged other than that cheap ass laminate peeling off the edges? Can't that simply be replaced, leaving the rest intact?
Another option you may consider for the countertop is granite tile. My friend did his in granite tile with very thin grout lines and it came out great. Much cheaper than solid granite.

UPDATE
Finally got the car up on blocks. The shifter doesn't feel like it's going into the reverse tree at all. Meaning it's in neutral but won't move over to the right enough to drop down into reverse, almost as if you had the reverse lockout on there, which I don't (Hurst). I recall when I got in the car after all this, I had to force the shifter forward out of reverse (or 6th?). This tells me the shift linkage or rods are some how stuck in reverse. Yet the car rolls as if it's in neutral. I can rotate the rear wheels by hand with the clutch engaged. But she swears she put it in 1st gear after parking it. Maybe without even thinking about it I got in the car that morning, went from 1st to R to back out of the driveway, and something went wrong when going into R. For the life of me I can't recall how the original reverse lockout worked before I removed it and put the Hurst in. I know it had a steel lever that lifted up, but what allowed/prevented moving the shifter to the right? Anybody got pics? I think I threw my old shifter away. Here's the report on all the other stuff I checked out: Pulled clutch slave, parts are all there, linkage feels fine, fork jiggles a little, so the pivot and attachment to the throwout bearing are fine. Drained fluid, got about 2 qts out (didn't measure exactly). Fluid looks pretty murky/thin. This is synchromesh, so it's only 5w30 to begin with. Pulled the center console plastic, can't see anything wrong with the shifter from above.

too much alcohol won't harm the cats... Cars are running on E85 without issue. It's too much lead that will harm cats.

there is no real benefit. The stock TB can handle 900+ CFM... why add more? You don't need it.

I put a manual switch on my 89. Turns on both and use it often. I also replaced that stupid little beannie propeller (aux) with a 14" Tornado pusher.
I too have a lighted switch but ran out of patience trying to make the light work. Will master it some day. Also put a switch on the antenna so it does not go up unless I need it!

That is the only problem we see is you will loose you MPG gauge,and depending on the kit the price will be $1000-$1500 depending on if you want the full harness or the adapter harness to convert your L98 harness,also our kit will come with the tuning software and interface cable.We are working on a data logging software to include in the kit

extreme,
what about the our digital dashes and read outs? i'm not exactly positive, but i thought us MAF guys would loose some (fuel/mpg) readouts if we went to the newer ECMs and speed density? i could only guess that would be the same with your system? i do like the idea, though. i just spent the last 2 years playing with/customizing an 06 v-rod and i used a daytona twintech twinscan II+ for data logging and the screaming eagle race tuner to reprogram my bike's ecm. it was pretty neat, the twinscan would plug into the data link on the bike and read the programed map and it also used 2 wideband O2 sensors to monitor the output. when you down-loaded the twinscan, it would basically tell you, your ECM is commanding this AFR at this RPM and this TPS. Your bike displayed this AFR at blah, blah, blah. To get to the commanded AFR, change your volumetric efficiency table to XX at this RPM and this TPS. You really had total control of your programing with this set-up, displacement, spark, fuel, turn on/off the knock sensor. it was pretty bad ass, kinda makes me wonder why there isn't more stuff like this that is readily available to the car guys. chris oh yeah, this set-up cost me less than $1000.....

Changed the fuel filter lately? I had a similar problem with my 96. Had good fuel pressure but would stall or die on accelleration. If I'd wait for awhile it woud run, but not for long if I gassed it. I pulled the fuel pump and the FP filter was sucked up into the pump. I pulled the filter and it had a ton of $hit in it. It had pressure but no volume & no codes??

Other things that could help in addition to tune up and oil change:
-Clean throttle body with throttle body cleaner -Change/clean air cleaner -Pump up rear tires to max pressure (less rolling resistance...not sure if this does much but free to try!) -A bottle or two of Heet or other alcohol based water remover evidently helps (too much is supposed to mess up the cats) -Make sure engine is really warmed up. I always drive the car a bit and let it idle at the smog shop while I am waiting. Hot cats work better.

I miss most my 64 Dodge Polara 500. It was a factory demonstrator (also called an executive car). I bought it from the original owner, my mom's 2nd cousin. It had 383 hipef, torqueflite, PS, PB, AC, AM/FM w/factory reverb, Mag 500 (true magnesium) wheels, Silver with Black vinyl top, Black interior Bucket seats and console floor shift (as opposed to the push button on the dash).
I loved that car, but I ended up selling it to a local kid and bought my first Corvette a 1964 coupe. I sold it to the kid with the understanding that if he decided to sell it I would have first chance. Well I never got the chance, his brother (a dope head) took it out one night and he wrapped it around a utility pole. It made me sick.

Thanks fellas. The new girl showed up to help her out and watch my son today. My 2 year old boy was crazy about her. The wife said the sitter and him played quite a bit. He hung around he all day. Glad the wife likes her. Makes it easier on recovery if you are happy.

Have you gotten the TPS wet anytime in the past few weeks ?, washed the engine compartment? When mine went bad it cause the engine to load up sputter, stall, check engine light stayed on. Similar symptoms as mine, fine one minute and crappy the next. Water and dampness will kill it. Just a thought. It has not gotten wet. I don't drive it in the rain, unless it starts raining while I am out and it stays parked in the garage. It has done this since I bought it 2 months ago. The dying incident only about 3 times, but the slow starts have been ongoing.

I just wanted to give you guys an update on our new system,The car has a much smoother idle,it improved the overall drivability,and with the car running in the mid to high 11's in the AFR and 9 degrees of knock retard from 3500 to 5500 RPM it gained 18 HP and 24 FTLBS of Torque.I will post up the final numbers tomorrow nite after I get it tuned along with before and after Dyno runs there is obviously alot more power to be had in this L98. :thumbright:

The "ah-ha" moment with regard to this book is if you find a very sore spot in the trigger point area for whatever pain you are having. In my case, I had just received the book a couple of days prior to getting a monster headache. I hadn't had a chance to read it yet, but I was desperate, so in the middle of the night I cracked it open and searched with one eye (my other one felt like it had a spear going through it) the section on head pain. I found my exact pain described, and started feeling along the shoulder muscle that they indicated was the area where the trigger point would be located. Voila, I found a very tender spot that I had been completely unaware of, and within a few minutes of massaging it as they instructed, my headache started to literally evaporate. I was giddy, to say the least.

You can datalog it, or get someone who can, and send the files to PCM for less and ask him how much he can improve it....

My dad bought a 56 chevy new. I think it was the only new car he bought.
It had the 265 with two Carter 4 barrels. One of the first chevy V8s. He sold it about the time I started driving. Probably a good idea. I would love to have it today.

Honestly, on a stock car, I think you'll be happy with this one. If not, no big deal. It's a five minute job to put in. Three 10MM nuts, and four 1/4 inch screws on the bottom.

the one car i wish i could have back was my first vette. in 99, i had a 76 vette that i did a frame off resto-mod. i put an ecklers tilt front end on it, some ZL1 rear quarters, and a set of custom rims on it from wheel vintiques. it had no a/c and manual streering with power windows....i painted it poppy red with dupont chromabase. it was beautiful and a blast to cruise in. i sold it for 8500 and 2 years later, i tried to buy it back. even after going as high as 14000, the guy still wouldn't let it go! what kills me is that he never did anything to it and probably only drove it 500 miles! he still has it, but i have come to accept that the only way i will ever get it back is to build another one.

I will give it a try. I tried to call Alvin at PCMforless today and got a recorded message. I want to talk to someone before I would send it in. Really don't even know how the process works. Its my daily driver and I can't be without it.

Are these the length of the whole door sill? The ones I have seen aren't long enough to cover where your feet and your butt come out. My carpet has war where the previous owner slid his butt across.

Quote: Not when I purchased it. I called him gave him the year, he programmed it and I picked it up. Now, I am sure it's not as good as a dyno tune, but for a stock car, it ran great. My goal was simply to turn down the fan temp, which it does. It also advances the timing and changes the fuel delivery. I had Chuck at Corvettes of Westchester look at the programming, he said it's close enough to what he would do that there's no point in having him do a new one. I believe he gets his chips from PCMFORLESS, but I can't be sure. Based on his representation I believe the original guy did a decent job.

John, may need your supervision soon...want to replace the window regulators in both doors... Not to worry, I'll be happy to point to the page in your FSM that shows you how. For those of you following along at home, here's a little story: A few years back Neil offered to help me out me out with some stuff on my previous 96 LT1 (he was the first guy from CF I actually met). He had me over at his place and we were installing a Camber Brace and new shocks and a few other minor things on it. I told him to just tell me what to do and I'd be happy to do it but he's a hands on kind of guy so he had to get involved (probably because it was so apparent that I was pretty much clueless). Anyway, when we were finished, he was just absolutely filthy. I was a bit dirty but he was a mess. So we go in to clean up and his fiancée (wife now) asks him what in the world were you doing? He tells her that we were working on my car. She gives us this long look and her reply was something along the lines of well if it was his car then why are you so dirty? And then he looks at me, like, yeah, why am I so dirty? I just started laughing. It probably doesn't read as funny as it actually was but I still crack up when I think about it...

I 'am considering a chip from pcmforless. My car is stock except for replaced injectors. (Ford SVO yellow tops) The reason, after months of driving I've had a slight miss. Nothing bad, just the nagging, every couple of seconds, miss. Done pretty much all you would consider. Wires, plugs, rotor, cap, didn't replace the coil (the gizmo on the top of dist.) replaced the CTS, IAC, reset idle, timing, no codes. Would I be wasting my money? , am I dreaming this might solve my problem?. What would the chip do for me, other turn my fans on at a requested temp ? I sent you a PM with details. I have a chip I have been running in my car before the mods. If you want to try it, I'll send it to you. If you like it, keep it. If not, send it back. See your PM with details.

As a wild ass guess I would say at least double the powder coating price due to the labor involved. That's not too bad. Under $100. I can get it PCd for under $50 for both pieces.

I think ebay has them for $49.95. Ecklers $59.95 and I'm sure they are available elsewhere. Maybe Madvet (Mid America). I have bought two sets. One clear with Corvette written across the length, one black with white lettering. On ebay do a search like (90 Corvette) and all the parts for a 90 will come up along with some accessories too.

I have been looking for some door sills to protect the carpet while getting in and out of the car. The only ones I can find cover where your feet come out. Has anyone seen longer ones that would cover where your butt drags across?
I have searched and have not found anything. Thank you

If you can post the schematic we will try to help. I don't have one from a 93. I would use a switch that lights up. My 96 has three relays.

Aluminum CAN be chromed, I just had my fuel rails done, along with the base of the AFPR. I had other things done but these were the only aluminum parts.

Go to a good chrome shop and you can get aluminum chromed, I already did it. Otherwise there would be no chromed sawblades.
