#1296 of 1908 Re: Just one persons opinion ... [starrow68] by lastc4 Jun 15, 2005 (12:13 pm)
Replying to: starrow68 (Jun 02, 2004 8:51 pm) Starrow68 - Your 95 C4 comment caught my eye. Just bought a 96 C4 LT1. When you put it in reverse there is a huge (Loud) clunk coming from what appears to be the Driver side wheel.   Kinda like in the early C4 years when you were missing a caliper clip. I pulled the wheel and inspected the clip and caliper. Rotor seems fine. No one, No one can seems to find the cause.   New to GA so I don't have a good wrench. Have you seen or heard of this issue. Bought the car from American Sports Car here locally and they are stumped. All/Any Help welcome - LASTC4
#1297 of 1908 Sorry, but an idea by starrow68 Jun 15, 2005 (4:17 pm)
I don't know any cars that well, especially the C4 which I drove for a year and sold with nothing more than oil changes. However, try the Magazine Vette, I think the site is vetteweb, but not sure. They seem to answer lots of questions on older Vettes and have experts since those cars are now going the way of the hot rod in some cases. Good Luck, Randy Replies to this message: lastc4 (Jun 16, 2005 5:19 am)

Replying to: starrow68 (Jun 15, 2005 4:17 pm) Thank You Sir, that was my plan also - to drive for a year and trade up. I can't believe I am the first to encounter this. Searched all recalls and bulletins. I will try Magazine Vette.   I'll be back, maybe we can get a C4 Thread going. Last C4
#1299 of 1908 Mecum auction by bigmike5 Jun 17, 2005 (10:13 am)
Geez-- I saw an ad for a Mecum Auction in the latest Corvette Enthusiast mag, and looked at them on the net. They had an auction coming up that must have had 75 of the greatest looking Vettes I have ever seen. Wish I had the money to bid on a few. Awesome older Vettes. Love the coves.
#1300 of 1908 Corvettes win their class at Le Mans again by xkss Jun 19, 2005 (8:48 pm)
The race was great to watch on the Speed channel.   The Corvette C6-Rs went 1-2 for the fourth time in the last five years.   They beat one Ferrari 575 GTC, several Ferrari 550s, and two factory Aston Martin DBR9s.
#1301 of 1908 Some writeups on Le Mans by starrow68 Jun 21, 2005 (8:12 am)

#1302 of 1908 One more time, Gavin's input on the LeMans race ... by starrow68 Jun 24, 2005 (12:51 pm)

#1303 of 1908 Re: C4 vs. C5 repair costs [m1miata] by lastc4 Jun 24, 2005 (6:04 pm)
Replying to: m1miata (May 23, 2005 6:29 pm) L. - I own a 96 C4 and it is my 5th Vette the first in this generation. I wasn't ready for the 97 C5 being a Vette lifer.   Read cover to cover "All Vette's are Red" several times, in an attempt to get similar guidance as you requested. All comments here are fair. There in No question, the technology of the C5 is wonderful and artfully applied.   Be careful of low miles 97 - 99 models. To gain lower drag Cof. in prototype years the front end was lowered to tight specs. The development team did achieve their objective however the resultant drive train angles in some veh. has been problematic.   Heck the C4 platform is a great start if you are new to this sports cars. Normal Maint. cost to be expected. I do get 19/24 MPG in a rocket ship so I am pretty well pleased. Water pump - 40K, Wheel Bearing, tires the only real issue I have.   Good luck in your search - LAST C4

Hi, was wondering what the best way to store my second roof panel for my 2004 Vette was?   Thanks! Replies to this message: ndmike88 (Jul 03, 2005 8:49 am) starrow68 (Jul 03, 2005 8:40 pm) lastc4 (Jul 08, 2005 6:20 pm)
