work on your own Corvette? Referring to any type of work from oil change to engine builds?

I do all my own maint. and repairs on both my c5 and my c2, been turning wrenches on cars for 20 years, for a living, have since retired my wrenches, accept for personal stuff and family, now i write service for of all places, Ford?

I do just about everything on my vette. The only thing that I will not do in differential work. I am just not that confident to go there so I will let the pro's take care of any problems that I may have in that region!

I do, and enjoy working on my car, but I'm no GM certified mechanic!

LOL, the only thing that I can do is wash my Vette! Everything else I just take it to my trusty mechanic!!

I do everything. maint., mods, etc. except tuning

I do almost everything I can to my vette. Bought the Service Manuals that can show you every detail needed. I will not touch trany or rear end issues. Most problems can be resolved thru the on board computers and the codes that the computers display for you. You also need a little mechanical knowledge and common sense and do not be afraid to ask questions

Ditto and good advice! A great resource are these Forums! :cheers:

I like to work on all my cars.

I did all the work on our Black Smokin Vette, with a little help from ALDATA seeing that it was my first ever build and look how it came out, fantastic!!

100% I enjoy working on my car myself, some things which are out of my grasp these forums do come in very handy. :cheers:

Yep, you did a great job!!! Hey Greg, this alldata thing could Alex work out a deal with them allowing Forum Members to use it for a nominal fee???????

Yeh I like to wrench on my toys also. May be a stupid question but what is "alldata"???

It's like an Internet Library of all maintenance manuals... You join it and have access the site, I'm not sure on the specifics though.

I do the maintenance work myself,:cheers: and small odds & ends, anything major goes to my mechanic

I would like to work on my car more, sometimes I'm limited to my lack of experience. But would like to learn more :cheers:

same here, I do everything except tuning on mine as well. I haven't found a mechanic I can trust that has been worth the astronomical amounts of money they want to charge to work on my car.

Are you kidding? I'm a Girl :p

Vetten Vayo:cheers:

I love working on my car. On weekends I will sit in garage thinking of what I could do, most cases I'm restricted on $$ :( On those days I will just clean the car again!

Very much enjoy working on my car, gets me out the house!

I have been known to work on my cars, when its beyond my scope of understanding either come to a forum for help or have it professionally worked on.

I don't know if they make it for C4's but this weekend after buying one of those preditor deals, tuned my C5. Pretty straight forward and I think (no sure yet) it added some power. It did so far solve the issue of my car stalling in the mornings. :)

Sweet. Im having stalling problems as well. What tuning did you do that stopped the stalling?

I enjoy getting out in the garage and attempting to work on the car, knowing that alot of times I just don't know what I'm doing! ha ha ha

We all started that way. Taking it apart and putting it back together is the best way to learn.

Done all my own work on everything. I'm lucky I have my father whos been in small blocks since 65. Ive done engines,suspension,transmissions,axles,electronics , you name it.

Sweet. So when you coming over to do my valve cover gaskets? I am so dreading thoes.

lol. Only if you let me fix the real problem with them(HVAC/smog) in the process. I keep forgetting how hard this stuff is if it isnt retrofitted for easy maintenance.

Heres the vette engine after deleting the HVAC/Smog/Cruise. Much easier. not very female friendly tho. "wheres the heater?" :thud:
