#1857 of 1905 Re: Corvette Steering Column Lock [Mr_Shiftright] by bhill2 Jan 14, 2009 (1:49 pm)
Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2009 8:49 am) I thank you, Shifty and Starrow. I am not seriously upset about the $600 (the reference to the lawyer was largely a joke), but given that there had been a recall on this item (the dealer said the recalled part wasn't the cause), and the Corvette is not an exotic, I wanted feedback. I will proceed to suck until it is all up, and go on enjoying my ride. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 14, 2009 3:56 pm) starrow68 (Jan 14, 2009 8:54 pm)

The problem is caused by the lock plate, the servo motor and the software, all interacting. The after market bypass module ignores the plate, tricks the servo and software to think all is well no matter what is happening as long as the plate is removed. Too bad it makes car easier to drive off for someone else, I try to keep it garaged. Guess I've spent enough with this dealer that they decided to cover part of the cost for goodwill. I too will continue to enjoy the ride. Randy
#1860 of 1905 forums for older vetts by jrzdvl Jan 16, 2009 (10:21 am)
Don't want to change the subject here, but just a question. All the forums on this site are about newer Corvettes, which is fine if you have one, but are there any forums for older cars, like the C4 in particular? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 16, 2009 3:17 pm)

#1863 of 1905 Waxing up the Vette for spring by v1995tte Jan 30, 2009 (12:56 pm)
Hi: Interested in finding out if any of you folks have used Liquid Glass or a Dry wash system on a Vette and what you thought??? Have acid rain spots and hear Clay magic is very good...Thanks Replies to this message: starrow68 (Feb 02, 2009 11:18 am) ndmike88 (Feb 26, 2009 6:15 pm)

Replying to: v1995tte (Jan 30, 2009 12:56 pm) Zaino is good. I've used it for about 5 years and it was used a couple times I had the car detailed by a local guy and it looks great, even after hard miles on track and lots of dings up front and under the doors. The dry spray can be used on a car that has been 'dusted' is really quick and comes up looking just washed after a couple minutes. I get mine from a local guy who distributes and I meet him every year or so to stock up. randy
#1865 of 1905 smokers smell by jrzdvl Feb 03, 2009 (1:38 pm)
I just bought a used vette once owned by a smoker and it smells approximaetely like a mens' room. I guess the smoke is in the headliner, the carpets, everywhere. Anyone have any special suggestions on getting rid of this, or is it just a matter of cleaning everything in sight. Hate to mess up the headliner although it might have to be replaced anyway.

Replying to: jrzdvl (Feb 03, 2009 1:38 pm) If it was a heavy smoker you'll never get it out, as it is in the padding etc in the upholstery. You could try a professional detailer/steaming/shampoo. It's worth a shot but don't get your hopes up.    Otherwise, yes, you'll have to rip out the carpets, seats and headliner and replace all of that The hard plastic stuff is okay.
