Default Rear wing added.



Added a rear wing to my 88 C4.



Just a shot of the new wing after being wet sanded and buffed.

Almost done...My OCD acted up and I'm trying to make it better but here is the almost finished result. Very happy so far Complete process pics to come.

Default New exhaust and rear shocks

I picked up my 90 Convertible after getting the Mid America Motorworks Corvette Stainless Steel Quad Power Mufflers installed, also I installed rear KYB KG5571 Gas-a-Just rear shocks last week. I like the sound from the exhaust, throaty enough without being too loud, plus my wife is really happy the droning is gone. The old exhaust was rusted and droned really bad, so much that the wife did not want to ride in it.

Next up is getting the water pump and pads/rotors installed (front & rear) tomorrow and then I plan on just enjoying it for a little while.

How was the install? I've heard you don't even need to jack up the front end to change the front shocks?

I bled my brakes, added a couple gallons of Sunoco Unleaded Race Fuel, added a quart of Royal Purple Race Oil, check the tranny and diff fluids, and gave it a once over for the A AS event the weekend after next.

Hmm, well okay, that might be a little difficult. I am an old guy from the old school, I don't have any Go-Pros or any other technology gadgets to capture any video. However, my car does have GPS only for the speedometer.

Actually pulled her outta the barn, picked up the wife in the driveway and went to a car show in Blissfiled Michigan. I won a basket full of candy so it looks like I have Mother's Day covered now!

I hear you. I have my go pro on my cross bar, which is behind the seat. It's easy to do. You just hit the record button, and connect the go pro to your computer. They supply a cable when you buy it. How it looks.

Thats correct. I didnt jack it up and it was easy as pie. I had a fight with the left side not wanting to come off, but I drilled a hole in the bolt and just cold chiseled it off.... 5 -10 minutes, it was off. See my post on shock in the tech/performance section...

Finally got it running after a dead battery, had to jump start with an Avalanche because the battery tender didn't work. Now to diagnose other issues...

I have a list of things to do since the beginning of spring, got as far as changing my oil. And as it continues to rain everyday, I do not see me finishing the list on my 94 or my 76 till Noah loads them on the ark.

#8 is tough. Probably took me 30min to an hour just for that one. The good news is it gets easier if you keep doing it I tested my compression last week and had to get all the plugs out again, just two weeks after changing them. At least the test results came back good! (150 psi +- 10 psi).
