Hi, I’m new to this forum. My name is Jeff, I own a 1999 hardtop, I live in Lakeland Florida. I love my Vette, I’ve been working on cars since I was about 8yrs old, when I helped my dad, I’m 55 now, lol. My Vette has 105,000miles on it, I’m the 5th and probably last owner. The car except for oil changes, and recalls, was completely original when I got it. Since then I rebuilt the A/C, and cooling system. Have done lots of cleaning, I just finished replacing the clutch, shocks, eng and tranny mounts, al fluids. Added dual elements cool air system. And added long tube headers. I hope to learn which tuner is best for it, so I can adjust the cooling fans, etc. hello to all my fellow corvette enthusiasts! Jeff

Hi all..
Just purchased my first vette.. a 1995 Coupe with 98,000 km on it.. I haven't picked it up yet, the owner is completing a safety certification.. hope to have it early next week... The only mods the previous owners installed were a cold air intake and Magnaflow exhaust.
Hoping to get a few months in before the snow arrives in Canada..
I've already found this site extremely informative..
I'm sure I'll be asking a lot of questions over the coming months..
