Top products from r/Corvette

>It's not mine yet!

Haha well it sounds like it's a done deal from your other comments in the post! Get excited, it's your Corvette :)

>Yeah I'll definitely be getting one. Any recommendations?

I run this Escort Passport model, though I bought it a year or two ago when it was on Amazon Prime. I picked it because it uses the same sensor from the Escort Redline (this model) which used to be the top of the Escort product line, so my detector has essentially the same range and detection capabilities and just misses out on some features like adaptive false-alarm avoidance. Didn't seem like the extra features were worth an extra $300 (though my detector has probably paid for itself many times over by now!) I would stick with Escort or Valentine personally but I hear Uniden is getting better. You can check this forum out for lots of info on the current market and what the best deals are.

I found this thing pretty helpful for easy storage and to keep things from sliding when you start pushing Gs 😊 https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000E81VN8/ref=mobile_oh_details_?ie=UTF8&psc=1#

Also recommend Xpel

You may want to move to the 8oz. I haven't used this yet, but someone from r/vive said yesterday they used it to repair scratches on a delicate lens (more important for functionality than your t top). I just bought this to try on my vive that has a scratched lens. If you'd want to wait a couple days I can update you on my success!

Do it! I spent 4+ years with a C5 as my ONLY car. Great cars! Radio can be easily upgraded.

the shorter serpentine belt was needed after i removed the smog pump and not shown is the dart iron eagle heads i got on craigslist for a good deal, not everything in the build is there and some links might be bad though

as far as HP/Torque its in the 270-330HP range judging from racing against other cars in that power range

I daily drive mine as well. You all should try out Jet Seal. It says it lasts a year, but I try to do it every 6 months or so. The rain basically washes my car now. The stuff is like magic.

This is how I beat the issue here in CA:

Looks better than the wonky factory ones IMO.

Try this idea:

I would work something like this under the dash to push with the key circuit. Hidden, obviously.

It's a brake job, nothing special about it. If you've got the monoblock calipers (which on a C7 I believe that was the only option) then you'll need a special spreader to recess the caliper pistons (like this: https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-29100-Quick-Quad-Spreader/dp/B005GLQCKA?th=1&psc=1) and other than that it's out with the old in with the new.

It’s either the new balance or these....

It’s a big well known thing in the meme world association “dad sneakers” to owning a corvette and being mean on the bbq grill

(there may be cheaper options, that is the first one that came up)


Strange as it may sound, sometimes the drain udders get clogged and rain or wash water builds up and shorts this board or the motor and either they don't work or don't shut off. Sometimes you can open the udders, let it dry and all is well. Sometimes you have to replace the board or the motor.


And often it is the stalk.
