Default How-To Videos

Hello all,

We are beginning the thought process on developing a series of How To videos that will be thorough, detailed, and as clear as possible for Corvette owners of any experience level! We have a number of ideas on what kind of videos we will be doing, but we also want to hear straight from you guys on what you would like to see!

I want to hear every suggestion you've got! Think back on some projects you've worked on where you would have liked having a step by step video along the way! Nothing is too simple or too complicated. We've thought about doing everything from oil changes, to sway bar adjustments, to interior dyeing, to seat cover removal and installation, and much more. We want to offer a wide array of videos to help beginners and experts alike!

What kind of How To videos do you want to see?

-Nick

This is something we've been wanting to do for quite a while now, so we're excited to get started and see what kind of videos you all want! We'll be doing our best not to disappoint!

This is fantastic. My #1 choice is Z51 oil change, including reset on oil monitoring life.

Thanks!!!

Just about everything that you can make a video of would be good. From dress up mods to performance mods ( items that don't require messing with the ECU as it becomes a bit-- to play with that thing.). Adding items like skirts, spoilers, anti sway bars and carbon fiber dash parts are all popular with the C7 crowd.
I believe that you could do about anything about building a Corvette and it would be a hit. I would like to have a video of how to adjust the shifter in my M7 and it is not quite right, and I don't want to spend money on aftermarket items, but I am beginning to think that MGW (?) might be my next mod.

I'd like to see things such as meth injection install, supercharger install, LT1 camshaft install, cylinder head swap, etc. I have done a number of How To guides in the tech section, but they are not videos. Videos are always nice.

Seems like a few on the infotainment system would be big hits here.

Thanks for all of the great suggestions guys! Every single one has been added to my list to brainstorm on with Mike and the rest of our team working on this! I wish I could guarantee we'll be able to do all of them, but hey, winter's coming up, so we'll have some time on our hands without any shows going on!

Do something on some of the dash setting that will also show up on the dash pod. Like oil pressure, oil temp, plus on voice commons on the nav & radio system. Robert
