You can run a mechanical FP gauge inside the cabin but you need an isolator which is basically some braided tubing and a rubber diaphragm. The cabin side is filled with antifreeze (I guess its physical characteristics are similar to gasoline(?). It's a bit of a PITA to get bled properly, but before the electronic units came out it was the only option.

I had a triple black C5 vert, in South Florida, and it was miserable, to say the least. Even without the heat issues, it just seems a little monotonous, to me. Of course, what do I know... my ZR-1 is white on gray, and that was the only color combination I wanted!

I have tried the solo-bleed on 3 different cars now, and I can't get them to work. The amount of fluid that flows out is so minuscule, that a bleeding job would take hours. In order to get any significant flow, the bleeder must be unscrewed so far, that it's wobbling in the threads. Am I missing something?

I just put a set of Wagner rotors on my 97 GMC K1500. I had read reviews online seeming to indicate that they were US-made, but when they arrived, they were Chinese. However, I was in a time crunch and really didn't have the luxury of returning them and starting over. I have to say, they look to be a decent piece, not just cast but also machined on some surfaces. Been running on them for around a thousand miles so far, and no complaints. Lifetime warranty on em through advance auto.

I'd definitely like to see some other options for cloth seats in a C4... I too am tired of looking at worn leather bolsters.

Actually, the ZO6 seats are just base seats with embroidery. The Sport Seats are the ones with the slot for the harness. Either way, C4 seats are way better in comfort and grip.

A word of caution about purchasing from the Partsladi... I purchased a ZR-1 dual fuel pump assembly from them, supposedly a new AC Delco part. The item was Made in China, and it died 2 months and 150 miles after installation. Because I did not have the original box, they would not do a damned thing for me. I don't know how many of you save boxes for parts that are installed and appear to be operational, but this put a real bad taste in my mouth, and I will not give them any more business. I have spoken to folks in the know about ACDelco/Gm Parts issues, including a GM parts counterperson with 20+ years of experience, and it's BS. THe Box is not required for warranty returns, the Partsladi guys are simply not interested in providing warranty service for parts they sell.

Consider yourselves warned...

I did the reverse - I owned an '01 C5 convertible, and it bored me to tears. Yeah, it was a nice cruiser, but it never really "wowed" me at all. Sold it and came over to C4 territory - first my 94 LT1, now my '91 ZR-1. I'd consider another C5 if I had space and money, because I wouldn't really get much use out of it, but it's low on the list of desirable cars at this point. The C6 has zero appeal to me, I don't like the styling at all, with the exception of the ZO6, and even that's iffy.

OHHHH Swwwweeeeet! I'll take it. That is the ultimate C4 for me, perfect color in and out. The only change I would make is I rather like the saw blades on the ZR1. A guy at my work brought his in and that's what he had. Very nice car sir.


Thanks The red has grown on me, though deep down I wish it were white. The dilemma is, the car will need paint at some point down the road, do I keep it the original color, or go for broke and strip the car and have it painted white... decisions, decisions!!

I've never been a fan of saw blades, but the A-molds, it was love at first sight for me.

Headers, Corsa exhaust/cat delete, Hurst shifter. That's about it for now... top end porting maybe early next year if funds permit. I'd love to have the car painted - it's not quite as nice as the pictures make it look, in a few areas -- 19 years hasn't been kind to the paint in a few spots.

Thanks for all of the positive feedback, guys! Makin' my head swell up!
