Default I'm a bad influence...

I have had my C5 for three years now, and today my older brother bought a nice '94 Coupe. He has been asking me questions that I don't have the answer to.

In C5Gen there is a sticky thread with a ton of basic info about the C5, is there a thread like that about C4's?

I am going to get him sign-up with a user name this weekend, and if you guys can point out some good site or threads it would be helpful. That way he can not get kicked around for

TIA

No problem dude. There is a C4 tech tips section and if there are any questions tell him post it. I'm a noob as well but have a good idea how the C4 works.

There are also some stickies at the top of the C4 Tech section that will help him get up to speed a little faster.
Hey RRT, since you've got 5 stars now, I'll check and see if I can get you promoted to 'semi-noob' status.

Have him read these and he'll be well on his way to understanding C4's & the origination of the C5
