New Corvette owner... My first... 1985...
After lurking for a month I figured it's time to say hello... I got my 1985 about a month ago and am hooked on tinkering... There was only about 1,000 miles put on her in the last 8 years so I'm throwing a lot of new parts and maintenance at it... 59,000 miles total now... My DIY list so far (mostly so I don't forget)...
Spark Plugs
Wires
Cap and Rotor
Rebuilt/Cleaned Throttle Body
Fuel Filter
IAC Valve
EGR Valve
PCV Valve
Set Min Idle and TPS
160* Thermostat
Intake Manifold Gasket
Fuel Injector O Rings
PermaDry Valve Cover Gaskets
Serpentine Belt
Soft Rubber Vacuum Hose
Front Sway Bar Bushings
LED Interior Lights
Alpine Head Unit (replaced weak sounding Bose)
6.5" Alpine Coax - Doors and Rear
4 Channel Alpine Amplifier
Driver Door Lock/Unlock button
Center Console Door Latch Spring
Throttle Body Coolant Bypass
Antenna Switch Bypass
Front and Rear Shocks
Oil and Filter Change
Coolant Flush and Change

AllData subscription
So many new tools the wife is starting to wonder what's going on...
Tomorrow....
-1) Installing 8" Bazooka Bass Tube
-2) Having Flowmaster 40's installed...
Coming Weeks...
-1) 5 Spoke wheels - C5 - (Currently researching 'fitment', scared to commit to $400 - $700 without knowing exactly what will fit)
-2) Window Tint
-3) Black Carpet (switching from red)
-4) Rear diff Fluid and Gasket Change
Curious if this will hold me over through the summer or if I'm going to want to..... (any ideas?)
See ya 'round...
