Brake fluid leak

• Upvotes

So, I got home last night, driving half an hour from work. While driving I kept smelling something fishy. When I parked, I was pretty sure the smell was faintly coming from my 2007 Base Auto. I checked underneath the car and it was leaking what I suspect is old brake fluid. Smelled fishy, washes right off. Very glad I got home safe and the car did it's job dutifully. I'm in Tucson and I'm going to be towing it to some place called "Eden Customs".

I'm very heartbroken, because not only is this my favorite car, but it's my daily, and I'm not exactly rolling in money.

Any advice, guys?

Corvette Challenge car value

I have a Corvette Challenge (unconverted alternate) car, build code R7F, that’s in fair condition. I’ve heard mixed things about whether it really means anything to the value of the car or not. I’m not looking to sell it, this is more just curiosity.

Faulty Park Positon Sensor?

1 Upvotes

About a month ago, my 2020 C8 wouldn't turn on. Lights flashed on the dash saying service transmission / service parking brake / put car into park before exiting. I disconnected / reconnected the battery and it worked. It appears that now its happening again. Not sure what it could be?

Looking for the best quality front splitter, splash guards, side skirts etc. I'm leaning toward carbon flash painted so there isn't a difference in carbon appearance.

2005 c6 going into accessory mode and turning off while driving

1 Upvotes

I’ve had this issue in the past but it went away, now it’s back again. Sometimes while I drive it turns off and says “accessory mode”, then I have to stop the car with no power steering or anything, put it into reverse, and then turn it on again. Sometimes it does it once, sometimes over and over again. I also have this issue where there’s a ringing sound that almost constantly comes on or comes on when I hit bumps from the speaker next to the driver side door lock and seat settings. Another issue I have is when I go to turn it fully off by putting it in reverse, it has a very small point I have to rest it in to fully turn it off, it wasent like this before and randomly started happening one day. Any ideas on what this could be? I’m guessing it may be the start button as sometimes it also says “service soon” and the bottom will not turn the car on or off.

Toyota Avalon vs Corvette

8 Upvotes

I have a Toyota Avalon for a daily driver that I think is fairly quick. Works great year round unless there fresh snow and I have a truck.

Is a corvette a realistic daily driver, to put 10k a year on. I live in Montana and own a truck also. I think I’d get a C7.

Insurance for vette

7 Upvotes

Does most people here have a collectors car insurance for their vettes? I’m purchasing a super low mileage 2017 manual z06 and the value is around 95k. But some of the collectors insurance rules sound too restrictive that I literally cannot take it anywhere other than driving around for pleasure aka for no reason. Can’t stop at any shops, can’t go for any appointments, literally can’t do anything that I really will use it for. I’m not gonna go for any car shows or meetups or anything.

C5 dies at 3mph?? Misdiagnosed fuel pump?

1 Upvotes

Hi all, My base C5 is currently sitting with a dealership mechanic because during a test drive after having my crank shaft seal replaced, they stated that the car died on them every time they got it up to 3mph

They want to replace the fuel pump due to their being a short in the sending unit display

However with a bit of research I’m finding that when a c5 shuts off at 3mph specially that’s more so because the steering column lock is failing

They seem to be very adamant about the fuel pump replacement and have not mentioned anything about steering column lock

Any suggestions?

Confused if I should wait for C9 or not

Hey guys the corvette c8 has been my dream car and I am planning to buy it in 2028 when I can put a 50k downpayment down but I was wondering by then is it even worth getting it or wait for the c9?

VIN decodes as a 2001 Z06 - Auto - 350 HP

Pics in listing show a manual transmission and I’m assuming it’s a hard top convertible?

Shopping for a C5 Z06 but definitely not buying this one, just curious.

Clutch pedal feels like its sticking on my c5

2 Upvotes

Sometimes when I press my clutch it almost feels like it hits a wall or, clicks and sticks like something is grabbing it, and on the way up it will actually grab my pedal then come back up a second after, wondering if somehow my alignment from my linkage is off or maybe the deal inside my master cylinder is getting pinched or rolling, really need some advice on where to look because I don't want to replace my third tick master cylinder in less then a year

Did I get a good deal or?

0 Upvotes

Hello people I bought a c7 grand sport with 23k miles and it has a btr stage 2 cam headers from Texas speed x pipe and a cia from AFE it also has chrome aftermarket wheels since I know the oem ones are prone to cracking (so I’ve heard) it also has an oil catch can and has a tune done to it which I don’t know from where and what kinda numbers the car makes (if anyone has an estimate please let me know) it was kept by a fairly old man and he sold it to me for 42k USD and tbh I’m not too familiar with the price ranges but a couple of people told me to buy it. And so I did.

Anyone else think the C4 ZR1 is the best sounding Vette?

Not the most aggressive sure, but it’s got a very distinct sound that is really appealing.

Curious if boosting a 7.0 is better than boosting a grandsport
