Not that I can't think of 101 projects on my own. What is the guru opinion of this time honored project book? Keeper or crapper? I picked up a copy for the C4s and the 911s on fleabay for about $12.00 plus shipping. Didn't cost that much more than a couple of Corvette car mags.

I bought it a few years ago. It is more of an idea book rather than a do it book. His information and process is not always the best methods. I give it a 6 out of 10.
I think he will tell you to install an airfoil and cut-lid to gain 20hp. Its entertainment and then it will sit on the bottom of the magazine rack for the rest of your life. |

I have the FSM for the technical aspect and a Haynes for a quick reference guide. I'll use it more as an "I need to do something about that." book.

It's not all bad although there are more than a few parts that are worthless. But for newbs who cannot separate the chaff from the wheat, check here before embarking on any given project contained within.

Haven't touched it.
But judgin' from what I've read, it should have a round hollow binder, to hang in the library. Tear a page, read, wipe, flush, repeat. Followed by haynes chilton clymer charmin... |

It has been good for Richard Newton. I got a copy, read it, and sold it.

I've done enough and still have a list, I sure don't need any more ideas...
That would make me tired just reading it. |

Useless tripe and the paper is too glossy for effective use as TP.

That's an idea, seriously. What if Guru came out with a book? You have something with all the facts you can bring out to your car, and it would help get the site's name out there. |

I went to pick up the 2 books I ordered at the Post Office. They can't find them even though they notified me. They're always misplacing my stuff and I work for the mofos.

Here's how it played out. The Post Office returned the books marked REFUSED. The seller charged me shipping and handling plus the return postage fee plus a 15% restocking fee. Hows that for getting F~(%ed. They refunded me about $16.00 of my $28.00 total. The Post Ofiice cannot be held liable by law for it's unintentional mistakes. The seller @ Smokey Mtn Books doesn't give a shit because that's his/her return policy. So that's my 101 Projects For Your Corvette story. I didn't even get to wipe my azz with it and it cost me money.
