Re: Bunch of questions need some help with! Thanks!

For the exhaust rattle, also check the middle hanger just after
the catalytic converter. There is a screw that rusts out and
breaks, especially if you have had motor mount issues. With
that screw broken, the exhaust will rattle against the hanger.

Headlight switch fails on these cars. It's a ...

Re: 1995 SE Performance chip??

Also if I go dual exhaust, would I need to do a bumper swap? My 95 has no slot for even the single exhaust tip

Re: 1995 SE Performance chip??

Sorry this is a learning experience for me as I'm much more familiar with corvettes and even then I've been out of the corvette scene for the last two years lol

What is a ported lower
What is an HV3?

If I do these mods, how much extra wear will it out on the rest of the drivetrain?

Re: 1995 SE Performance chip??

I am back at it and want to add about 20-25hp to the bonneville just to get that extra bit of oomph and acceleration under load in higher gears. Can you guys send me in the direction of where I can find a good performance intake for my 1995 se non supercharged Bonneville?

Also, where I could find ...

Re: First post: looking at a few 2000+ SSEIs, what to look f

Just updating. Drove quite a few 2000+ models. None were very nice. None were any better than what I have...soooo I kept my Bonneville and will probably drive it until it blows. Or the trans goes...those are $$$ Id rather spend on a new car instead.

Wow realized I started this topic when I was 24 ...

Re: FINALLY finished my interior UPGRADES! Lots of PICS.

That bonnie is mine to a t, exact same car inside and out

Oh great! They don't get any respect.. and merging onto traffic pushes the 3800 II to the brink, but they're a smooth ride and the car of choice on a first date...hint...bench seating hehe

Very nice. I especially like the carbon fiber ...

Re: FINALLY finished my interior UPGRADES! Lots of PICS.

Thanks everybody.

Looks great, nice and subtle. You should do the rear door window switch piece too to finish it off. And wow i love your corvette.

Rear window switch piece? Im drawing a blank?

That 'Vette.... Amazing. What wheels are those?

And the CF trim looks great!

The wheels are from ...

FINALLY finished my interior UPGRADES! Lots of PICS.

For the past 4 months I've been toying around in my spare time with the Scotchprint 1080 vinyl wrap. Here are the results. Total pieces wrapped was around 17. Hardest piece: drivers side mirror controls. Sheesh!

Just finished the drivers side door. The car is a sauna here in FL during the heat ...

Re: 2006 Corvette Z06 Lemans Blue

GAWD I love that color.

I love both the ZO6, and the ZR1, but I cannot understand how people don't come away impressed with the ZR1. I think the ZO6 is the better balanced "track" car, but the ZR1 is King Kong's sledgehammer. I'm tired of tearing into brand new engines and modifying them. I don't ...

Re: 1995 SE Performance chip??

What about something I heard that will change the way the car shifts? When you really hammer the throttle to make it go into first gear instead of second? So no performance chips exists for things like that?

1995 SE Performance chip??

I might be into the market to make some performance mods to my 1995 SE bonneville. Is there a "chip" I can buy for it? What are some good basic mods for the 3800 Series II non supercharged?
