Chevy Corvette

Do you mean the first series of Miami Vice? Sonny lived on a houseboat and originally had an old 50's car but drove a Ferrari later. I think Simon and Simon also lived in a houseboat this time located in Seattle.

James "Sonny" Crockett lived on a sailboat (not a houseboat) named the "St Vitus Dance"

It depends on the model. My C5 averages about 21 in the city and about 35 on the highway. I had a C3 that averaged about 10 or 11 in the city and 15 or 16 on the highway.

How do you install projector headlights on a 1998 Chevrolet corvette

== 1-to-4 Mode (aka Skip-Shift)
== Simply disconnecting the plug from the sending unit (on the transmission) will disable the "CAGS" (Computer Aided Gear Selection). However, disconnecting the wire may cause an error code from the computer.

Most of the Corvette parts houses (do a WEB search for Corvette parts) sell a kit that installs between the sending unit and the vehicle harness that seals and protects the plugs from dirt and moisture. It will also eliminate the possibility of error codes being generated. It costs approximately $20 USD and takes about ten minutes to install from underneath the car.

NOTICE: The dash indicator for 1-4 Shift will STILLilluminate as usual.

If all you want to do is change a bulb, you pull the license plate off to gain access to the wiring harness. After you twist the harness counter clockwise to loosen the harness, let it drop down and access it to change the bulb from underneath the car.

For the rear plastic one, insert a thin blade screwdriver in the slots(two on each side of the frame about 1" from the top/bottom)and push back the tab while applying pressure to pull the frame away from the license plate. There are 4 snap tabs on the frame that just need to be pushed back to disengage from the body slots. Be carefull, they're not very sturdy. This was from another reader, It worked great. Thanks

Alternator belt is slipping. Tighten or replace as necessary.

All you need to do is pull it out. If it broke off like mine did then you take a drill and small drill bit and drill a small pilot hole and use a drywall screw. Run it in and pull it out with that. Be careful not to strip the drywall screw in or you"ll have to drill deeper and do it again.

Automatic transmissions have something called a torque converter - it's a donut-shaped device between the engine and transmission, that allows the engine to rotate at a slightly different speed than the transmission, in order to build momentum, add power, etc.

Modern torque converters are designed to lock-up under certain conditions, meaning the engine and transmission become coupled, like they would be on a manual transmission. This reduces wear and is better for fuel economy, when acceleration is not needed (ie. on the highway). If the converter is "lockup hunting", that means the transmission can't decide whether it should be locked up or not, so it's going back and forth. Probably time for a transmission fluid change. Be sure to have them drain and replace the fluid in the torque converter as well. Or the transmission may be worn out. Another way to tell is to pull the transmission dipstick and smell the fluid. If it smells burnt, it needs immediate attention. Pulling trailers or plowing snow often will do this.

Whilst it is possible to find used corvettes for sale in any of the generic car sales companies, there are a number of specialist traders. Corvette Trader and vettefinders are two of the most widely used specialist sites.

Standard.

By spending a lot of money.

Well tell you this you cant kill them

Raise the headlights. Remove the bezel from around the head lamp by removing the three screws and carefully slide the bezel out, this will give you barely enough room to get your arm in there to remove the turn signal lamp.

First thing to do is make sure all rollers and slides are in good shape. To do this you need to remove them. First to do is remove door panel. Remove door grasp handle (2 screws) Remove front and rear panel holders (front and rear on door body) Remove lock knob. When these are all removed you can remove panel by sliding forward and past door handle.

Adjustments

You will now see 2 half inch bolts on rear upper shell that attaches the top of rear slider. This adjusts outward and inward If you follow the track to bottom you will see the single bolt holding the bottom of track. About 4" down from top of track you will see another half inch bolt with what looks like a standard screw in the middle. That is exactly what it is and is one of the adjustments. The screw part adjusts the 'pitch' of the track by screwing inward or outward. To do this loosen the nut.

For the front it is much the same except the top track will be held by four (4) bolts. The two outer are for adjusting out and in (as the rear) while the two inner ones will adjust front and back. Again there will be the one with the screw in the middle that adjusts pitch (twist)

Use small adjustments as it is kind of a feel as you go operation, however to have good results the sliders and tracks must be in good condition.

Window removal

You may be able to see the rollers, however if there is dragging then they should at least be cleaned. To do this remove the lower access panel (6 5/16 screws) Lower the window about half way and loosen (not remove yet) the nut holding the front of window to the track. Do the same for the rear. Remove the bolt holding forward track slider to window. This is done by 'feel' as you cannot see it. While holding the window (a helper is good to have, but can be done alone) remove the nuts from front and rear, push bolts (or tilt window lightly inward) and remove glass.

The track that the window is attached can be removed by sliding forward off rear roller then back past front roller. It may be tight depending on how old grease is and how much crud has accumulated. Clean this, regrease and reinstall. The front and rear rollers can be removed by removing the top stops from the tracks. If either is loose or flattened then replace. The vertical tracks can be cleaned while in car using long pipe cleaner and alcohol or liberal amounts of carb (my favorite) cleaner. When cleaned, regrease. For proper cleaning the tracks can be removed by removing the bolts mentioned in 2nd paragraph. Before removing mark all related bolts and their position. When out clean, regrease and reinstall.

The sequence of parts on bottom of window are: (from front to rear) bumper stop (facing inward), slider for front track, front window holder to slider, rear window holder to slider, rear bump stop (facing outward)

Sequence of bolts/holders: long bolt with 1 1/4" thin flat head, rubber gasket, plastic spacer, nut. Pay attention to how these are on car, if not replaced correct then bottom of glass can be broken when tightened.

Hope this helps, Don.

You can fix your 1985 Chevy Corvette by replacing the thermostat. If the automobile still runs hot, you might need to replace the cylinder head gasket.

Directly behind the driver's seat (inside the passenger compartment). There are three little compartments back there - on the driver's side is the battery, the middle one is for storage, and the one on the passenger side has the jack/lug wrench (underneath removable storage tray).

Depends on the bolt pattern. You may need wheel adapters to fit it though if they're different bolt patterns.

The curb weight of the 2012 Chevrolet Corvette is 3208 lbs..

Depends on what year/type of engine (LT1, LS1, etc). If anyone has enough time and money, anything is possible.

door panel will have to come off and more than likely the motor has rivets holding it in place so the complete window regulator will have to be taken out of the door and the rivets drilled out to get the motor off and then reinstall new motor with bolts and nuts.

4, to 8 degrees.

Pull down the latches and lift it off.

You will need to remove the transmission.
