Awesome looking 84!! I'm totally down for a meet!! I'm 20 minutes east of Cedar Point, and about an hour from Summit. Somewhere in between would be awesome, maybe lunch or dinner or something. When the weather gets nicer, I am willing to host something at my place. I have property and a shooting range and plenty of parking. We can toss some stuff on the grill and I have all of the tools and then some needed for repairs if anyone needs anything done!

I think mine fit it well. Very 80s and depending on the light you sometimes can't even see them.

Radioway

I like that!! Mine does not look nearly that nice lol. If i was brave i would attempt to sand mine off

Mine was air brushed before the clear. Couldn't remove it if I tried. if its brush on you can buff them off. I did it on my truck.

Radioway

The guy i bought mine from tried scraping them off in places. Pretty sure he just took a paint scraper to it....SMH

Radioway

you can see them a little better here

Oh my. They look much better with just the side ones in black and white but yea... I understand why you want them off.

Radioway

Yea maybe one Day ill get gutsy and wet sand them all off and buff out

So i changed one of the coolant sensors tonight and the car threw a check engine light but went out after about a minute. Thoughts??

The only one that should do that is the one on the front of the intake.

Radioway

It was the one on the driver side

That's the one for the dash. Strange.

Hot Rod Roy

Yep, that's the CTS for your temp. gauge.

Radioway

I just need to get a code reader on it and be done with it lol

Hello there Radioway,

Having a Corvette while young sure is fun isn't it? They are a fun habit and a great lifestyle!

I saw above where you mention changing the CTS's and the O2 sensor. Be sure to change the O2 sensor as they age very poorly. Older O2's have a tendency to be lazy and not react as fast a new O2 can. This is one very important sensor and it is supposed to be replaced every 50 k miles anyway.

Good Luck and enjoy your Corvette!

Radioway

Thank you! It has been fun thus far. This fall im putting new heads, cam, intake, and exhaust on as well. Its been a fun project and i cant wait to dive in deeper. I got the car for next to nothing so i dont mind throwing a little money at it

Radioway

I have a leak coming from the transmission pan how much torque am I supposed to put on the bolts
