Now I got it. Thanks.

Use caution to avoid damage from hydrolock. What kind of caution? What potential damage? Could you give me a little more info? Thanks.

Man I'm a hoping and a praying there is no major damage. That 383 only has about 7000 miles on the engine. That could be very painful.

Well I found out why the 91 was hard starting. The oil pan was half full of gasoline. What are the probable culprits? The crank still turns but it's a somewhat stiff. The car is now at the shop that did my starter. They're going to check it out further on Wednesday. Thanks gurus.

Some of you have been a little naughtier than others. If this applies to you, keep this in mind. That ain't coal .

Seems like it sometimes.

What's a call girl? You could summon up Rosie or go for a short ride and try to hook up with an older princess. What is this poverty of which you speak? If your a Vette owner, we only have problems of luxury.

Yup, positive people doing positive things getting positive results, absolutely,positively. Enjoy the ride........

Oh! Cant ya just feel all the love........

Does anybody have a good source for airbag sensors? My drivers side needs a new sensor but I was thinking of replacing both sensors while I'm at it. I already removed them, sanded them and the frame, cleaned and applied dielectric grease. I reset the code but it keeps coming back on. It's throwing a code 16, Did it a second time just to make sure I did a good job the first time. I reset the code using the Mid America reset tool. It worked a lot better than the paperclip method. The code goes away but comes back soon thereafter. Same result. So now I want to replace the sensors. Can I get a later model year sensor to work? Is there any difference? Or was it that GM just added the dielectric grease after the 90 model year?

Nice looking 90 you have there. I love my 90 Coupe and it's a 6 banger.
You'll have those headlights poppin in no time.

You being both a C4 and C5 guy, have you ever waved to yourself?
Welcome to the show. Enjoy the ride(s).

Well ,it looks like I took the pics at the right time. After you detail a car, wht does it do? Rain........ A minor cold front is passing through. I wish I wasn't so anal about appearance of the cars. My cars as a teenager were clean as a whistle and even today I dont like driving in a dirty, spotted car. I spend more time on cleaning than I do behind the wheel. Two hours of cleaning for a 50 mile cruise. I wish I had a warehouse to store these things in or a really huge carport. I'm working on it.

Here are a couple more. This is a really sweet car to drive. We put way too much $ into it already. Going to have to slow down spending a little till we recover. Then it's off to the next project.

I remember reading a lot of posts in the other place about how great it was in the early days. Well, the early days are back again only it's right here and it's right now. I've been watching the member list jump.
I came by this site a couple of years ago but didn't join till recently. I was glad to encounter a number of people that I am already familiar with. One door closes, another opens. I'm glad I'm on this side of the door.

Hello, welcome, and enjoy the ride(s).

It was such a nice day, I went for a cruise and took a few pics. In the middle pic the wheels look white but they are really silver/tan ribs and alloy Fuchs. The top shot is more like the real wheel color.

It was such a nice day, I thought I would go for a ride and take a few pics.

Come on.... Come on ......Give us some of the background on this. Or do I have to call Paul Harvey and get " The rest of the story".

You must be sick. It's Thursday dude. Just got back from a morning cruise in the 90. Went to the Homestead Baseball Stadium and on past the Homestead-Miami Speedway. Took a couple of pics on the stadium grounds that I'll post later. Car ran great and felt good to be shifting the 6 speed again. I'm going out front to work out / detail the 83 that we just got back from the shop. It's pretty clean so it shouldn't be too much of a task. It needs a new coat of wax though to bring out that luster in the black.

Slims is slang for the ladies.

I'm just reading about this today. Way to go Case. I'm always amazed at how many people I know go on to become famous. No doubt this will help with the slims.

We got the 83 Porsche back this evening. The drivetrain is as good as new. Now the break in begins. The problem with having multiple vehicles is you can never seem to drive each one enough. I'm off for the next 6 days so I'll give it a go. Another thing is that there is always plenty of detailing to do. I don't have to go to the gym. I have a workout waiting in my yard anytime I want. Add a house to the mix and there is never a dull day. I hope everybody who is sick gets to feeling better soon.

Just as soon as I get past tire pressure checking and dip stick reading I'll certainly consider what you have suggested. I'm still learning a lot about the tools. I think somebody sold me a set of left handed wrenches.

It was real nice here today. Great weather for doing a little detailing. not too hot, not too cold.

It's always nice to see pics of someone using their Corvette. Pics aren't bad.

How're y'all doing. Welcome, and enjoy the ride........

The saga continues..... So I'm cleaning up the 90. I recharge the A/C ,and clean it up real nice. Since I'm cleaning , I go over to the 91 to vac it out and decide to start it up. I happened to have the hood up because I was vacuuming the catch area in front of the windshield of all the leaves and pebbles that get trapped in there. I turn the key and I see a wisp of smoke as the starter attempts to engage. Either the alarm guy or the shop that replaced the starter must have left a wire bare or as luck might have it, it may be something else. So now I have something to do on Thursday. I'm calling the tow truck and bringing it back to the shop that did the starter.
The wife picks me up and we go to pick up the 83 Porsche that was supposed to be ready today. We get there at 5:00 PM and it's sitting on the slightly elevated lift running with a timing light sitting on the back bumper. The mechanic is adding more oil and it hasn't even been test driven yet. He says it's going to be another hour or so. We figure we'll go grab a bite to eat while we wait. Ring......ring....... at the dinner table. The lines that hook up to the thermostat stripped the thermostat threads and the line is not holding pressure. You need a new thermostat. Ka ching. We'll get it first thing in the morning and it should be done by tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, the dinner takes about thirty-five minutes to get to the table. My fries are warm , not hot, and the wife has burnt stuff from the grill on her bacon cheese burger. She asks if thet could just give her a new bun top and cheese. Twenty minutes later they send back a new burger with the manager. This time they bring her a well done burger when she ordered it medium. She didn't even ask for a new burger, just a new top bun with cheese. The manager goes to the kitchen to prepare it himself. 15 minutes later she eats. They were kind enough to void the bill but I'd rather pay for it and just get what we asked for. The restaurant wasn't even very busy and they fubbed this one up pretty good.
The nights not over yet and there is still plenty of time for some more
$#!+ to hit the fan. Overall it's been just another glorious day.........

My wife is the big card sender. We send out about 40 cards a year for both Hanukah and Christmas. This year I have invested about an hour in decoration. We have a small ceramic tree that hasn't been plugged in yet, a two penguins standing around a christmas tree peice, a two foot tall plastic Santa in the front yard and we line a doorway with the cards we get. My son is 29 and lives in Jacksonville. Nobody to impress but ourselves. Makes for an easy cleanup too.

We were invited to a Christmas party by some friends of ours at the Miccosoukie Indian Gaming Resort.The party was great. Good food, music and a visit from Santa. For party gifts, they had drawings for the men and women seperately. I won a $100 Home Depot gift certificate. They played 5 games of Bingo too for prizes of varying amounts. ( $100 or $200.)
After the party my wife and I went down stairs to play.I played the slots and she played poker. It only cost me about $50 an hour to play to play for 8 hours. We left around 08:00 AM. It was a fun time.

I get one thing done and two more things pop up. Put the cluster back into the 90 tonight and as I was checking everything out I cranked on the A/C and nada,zip ... zilch. The freon has apparently leaked out and I suspect it is the input valve. It maintained pressure before but now it's down to nothing.

Funny thing was, my wife asked me if I f'd something up when I was putting back the cluster. I said they're not even near each other. WTF.

Women.... Ya have to love them :lol:

One of mine gets stuck about every 6 months or so. This is not in the manual. I sit in the passeger seat and slam the door while holding the window switch in the direction you want it to go. This could go into the 101 things you can do before you have to repair something booklet. Might not work, but it is worth a try.

So is that where you finally settled in? Manchesta Noo Hampsha.?

Wintertime in Arizons sounds like fun.

Only after I sip mushroom soup.

1 year and 2 months already. Time sure does fly. Congrads on the bonus. Extra cash is always welcome at this time of year.

You did see a white one too. Here is the stable. That's why I don't buy a new ride. More older toys to play with.

It had a bad synchro,1st and second worn,clutch was rigged and the engine had an oil leak. We picked it up at a good price but after the rebuild I'm back to fair market value. At least I get to start all over again with 0 miles on the power train. It was all torn down and professionally rebuilt with a lifetime warranty from the builder. If it breaks while he still owns the shop, he'll repair it. He has a Porsche shop and has an outstanding reputation. We could have drove it like it was but my wife and I lean toward perfection when it comes to our cars. If it's broke......fix it. We had a couple other maintenance issues repaired too like the front and rear windsheild seals, sticking door handle, etc. It's a 1983 911 turbo look coupe with a 3.0 litre engine. Last year of this set up. 84 went to a 3.2

Supposed to rain the next few days. Waiting for the return of my rebuilt cluster for the 90 Coupe. Hope to get it back next week. They (Southern Electronics) have had it since Nov.28.They are supposed to work on it today or tomorrow.We'll see. Maybe get my 83 911 back Friday after a total rebuild. Tranny, clutch and engine. Break in time coming for that one. I have a headlight motor ready to install on the 91. If only I had more time. Funny how work always seems to get in the way of things I need to do.

It's been dry and dusty down here. Washed Saturday night, dirty Sunday afternoon. Today I rinsed them off, dried them and put on the car covers.

Yup, I know just how you guys feel. I watched it this morning on my TV.
