Hey I’m currently working on saving up for my first car does anyone have any advice or even willing to donate to me? I have a job but am paid minimum wage and I take half of each paycheck to put back for college. Does anyone want to help me reach my goal of 6k saved so I can put it into my neighbors car he said he’d sell me for 6? It’s a c4 corvette with 70,000 miles.
Had this sweet 91 ZR-1 next to my 94 this morning at cars and coffee!
America’s birthday seemed like the second best day to officially join the C4 family. The trailer had other plans on June 30th… This poor thing has spent the last 8 years of its life neglected in a garage, a barn, and finally tucked in a tree line for the last few years. First up is a deep clean to remove the grime and funk smell. Then the inevitable watery tarnish fuel tank/system. Hoping to get it road worthy for at least one cruise before the weather turns!

But seriously with about 15 dollars in supplies you can transform your 3d printed C4 parts.
All you need is:
- A 5 dollar POLYPROPYLENE storage tote from Walmart(big enough to fit the desired part with gaps around the sides)
-A 10 dollar container of Acetone
Process:
3D print your desired part in ASA
Soak some microfiber rags or paper towels in acetone
Place the rags along the sides of your tote and place your part at the bottom(ideally not setting directly on the bottom of the tote, you'll want to prop it up somehow)
Secure the lid on the tote and wait.... I have found that large parts take 1.5-2 hours. Smaller parts will be less.
Open the lid and let the part cure for a few hours(DO NOT TOUCH THE PART RIGHT AWAY)
install your part and enjoy!
Here are some before and after photos(obviously different colors, the original print was PETG
Recently purchased a 1993 c4 with a 6 speed. On my trip home I realized how hot the console area got i’ve read its somewhat normal or that a lower shift boot may need to be replaced. Has anyone added extra insulation or just turned up the ac and not worry about it. I’ve also heard that because the exhaust runs right under there and it adds too it if i were to add some exhaust wrap to it could it help any.
Hello,
Can anyone recommend a complete stock type kit for replacing all the suspension bushings (to include shock mounts and anti-sway bars) on a 1995 corvette. I would like to relace the bushings with modern polyurethane too.
I have looked at Ecklers and a few other sites, not sure what to choose from.
I am looking to replace all of them at once, so suggestions for a complete front and rear kit(s) would be appreciated.
thanks
Figured I’d throw my first post on here with the 86. from being keyed to blowing an OPS, this thing has had a rough 2 months back in the mix, but shes still rolling.
Happy July 4th C4 Fans! Get out and make em shine!
Not anymore. And it wears a different wing. Still a work in progress. AMA.
Amy ideas? Could it just be the bulbs?
Car will be sold tomorrow to a private buyer to have the engine and transmission removed. just trying to figure out what else I should take before it’s .sold the differential and rear suspension along with the bumper I took the entire interior, including the dash pad. I removed the front bumper for the front trim piece. Hood isn’t worth taking it has damage. Headlights condition is unknown. Car has major major electrical problems.
Whats the best way to go about lowering the car to about an inch maybe even an inch and a half?
Will always love this car despite how many issues it gives me!❤️🩹
This is an 86’ with the 4+3 manual. It has 29k miles. The tires seem to be dry rotting and the seller notes that there is a small oil leak. He also notes that once it gets up to temp, it shows low coolant. It comes with manuals, targa tool, and a car cover. The guy wants 9k for it. I haven’t been able to check it out in person yet, but I just wanted to get some advice on things to keep an eye out for. Thank you
posting for a friend but he recently got into an accident in his 86 vette, someone parked on the shoulder drove into him without looking, i’m assuming the insurance will total his car, is there anyway to avoid that? if not what would he do to either keep the car for a rebuild title in CT or just get a new c4? All the scuffs are just paint transfer and rub off, door glass is broken, and door probably needs to be replaced but the rear fiberglass only has a tiny crack and a paint only crack, and hood only has the one crack and a paint only crack. The main issue i believe is the door jamb damage being so severe, though definitely fixable the door still opens and closes fine. No mechanical or frame/suspension damage at all, just fiberglass. Insurance does not have any images of damage yet, so he was thinking if he wanted to keep the car to fix the door jamb and hood crack so it would only need paint and a new door with glass. Any ideas on what to do would be great thanks everyone!
I tried vacuum, pressurized air and magnet, it’s stuck in there…
It did not fall far down but the hood chassis is closed everywhere so it’s hard to get to it
Please help me or my boss is probably gonna kill me
