    Help! Dash Lights Not Working.

    Driving home from base last night my dash lights didn't come on when I turned on the headlights. I adjusted the dimming control and checked all the fuses twice with no success. The HVAC lights work and so does the odometer, but not the main gauge cluster. I really don't want to chase wires...

    Replacement Stereo Sounds Like Crap

    Stereo guys I need some help. A couple years ago I purchased and installed an Alpine head unit so I could listen to music from my IPOD. The stereo never sounded very good. It's like no power is running through the amps in back. I used the adapter that was recommended by Crutchfield to...

    Creaking/Popping Rear Suspension w/H&R Race Springs

    I recently started having a creaking/popping noise coming from the passenger rear side of the car when driving rough roads, hitting bumps, or even pulling in my driveway. Only suspension work I have done is H&R Race Springs that I installed several years ago. When I pulled the tire off, it...

    Ran a new C6 Corvette Convertible

    I've never street raced my car before, but encountered a really nice blue C6 Corvette vert driving to Sonic with my wife today. It was being driven by a couple younger guys that didn't seem too interested. To keep it short, I got next to them in 3rd at about 60 mph on the interstate and was...

    Buzzin sound through Stereo problem

    This is probably a weird one, but my car has an intermittent buzzing noise coming through the rear speakers. It sounds like feedback and rpm's make the pitch of the buzz change. I'll pop the trunk to check is out and many times the instant I hit the trunk button, the buzz stops. The other day...

    Scratched my rearview mirror glass

    I did a stupid thing this summer. While overseas on a mission, my cobra was unknowingly parked near a sprinkler system on base and my car was coated with 3 weeks of hard water deposits. I was able to get the whole thing taken care of with my Porter Cable buffer, but thought I'd take a shortcut...

    1st Trip to Track in my 03 Cobra

    Well, finally got my car to the track to run my buddies H/C/LT C-5 that also has 3.90 gears that I've mentioned in other threads. We were able to line up together for two out of my 3 runs today and the results were a little suprising. 1st run (my first ever in this car) I had a 1.757 60' to...

    2.93" Pulley Dyno Numbers Just In

    Just dyno'd my car after installing a 2.93" pulley and 100mm idler and tune from Horsepower by Hermann. I asked him for a conservative tune since I'm very cautious with my car. Anyway, looks like I'm making 436 RWHP/439 RWTQ SAE #'s. My A/F looks pretty safe (11.5:1) from what I can tell and...

    Finally put my 2.93" pulley on my car. Got 3 custom tunes from Hermann to go with it. I'm really impressed with how hard the car pulls and how well it runs. Plan on checking my A/F on the dyno soon. I really want to put out the good word on Hermann the great customer service he gave me. Lance

    New Dyno Numbers After Engine Broken In!!!

    Just dyno'd my car again now that it has 14,000 miles on it. The first time I dyno'd it was when the car only had about 500 miles on it. Both times all my mods were the same with the exception of going to full synthetic motor oil. I believe most of my gains were from the engine gettting...

    Just Installed Steeda Comfort Shift Pro Handle

    Like everyone else, I've not been happy with how far our shifter handles are from the seat. I'm tired of leaning forward just to put the car in 5th gear. Steeda just came out with a handle that attaches to your stock shifter that places it closer to the driver. I've been looking at installing...
