1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I was lucky to get 99% of the parts I ordered.

Only the front diff fill plug was incorrect; they sent me one from a land cruiser or something.

 

good point, but still would like to have a TW member catch me out and about to shoot the shit haha. I'll stay #lowkey for now, and we'll see how long it takes to be spotted

Timmah video will answer all questions you have about the water pump and will have a visual for what you're looking at and then an explanation of it.
Are you doing the water pump and timing belt replacement yourself?

 

I've met some pretty cool ppl from here and from my gun forums; the Corvette people are the only crowd I don't fit in with.

I've owned many of them, but I'm far from a mid life crisis. I remember one argument on calguns where I was talking about reloading, and one guy was arguing facts with me. Resorted to calling me some old white dude that probably drives a yellow corvette chasing girls in their 20s

 

thanks,
if its not too difficult i can attempt it, looks rather crowded in there to get bolts out for the fan

 

It's a pretty involved job to do. The video shows very well the tools you'll need to have and the parts to have.
If you're not doing it yourself, I'd still recommend watching it for the knowledge and to be able to understand anything the shop may want to discuss so you don't have to just trust what they say. Knowledge is power, knowledge with experience is KING

 

Lmao at the not fitting in with the corvette people.... You don't say?? Lololol

 

I know right?!

My Corvettes are white!

(Except the z06)

 

Omg sooooo basic lololol
It's all good, you just gotta be one of the few normal owners
I knew a couple guys before that had vettes and omg if they didn't think the Vette was god's gift to mankind.......Kinda same way I see Toyota as God's gift to us

 

should take no more than 3hours?

 

probably another hour to clean off the old water pump gasket crust

 

the frame cleaning is time consuming

it may take 2 or 3 months to finish that job

 

mine has not been removed in 13 years so IDK

 

That's it? I'd consider myself mildly competent and I have been putting it off because I am lazy

 

do you want to abrasive media blast?

you can be lazy all you want, take your time

 

No offence, but I really don't see many of society at all fitting in with the corvette crowd lol. Just a diff breed of peeps

 

Lol no offense taken

What's funny is, my dad didn't fit the "typical Corvette owner" description either. I only got into them since my dad always had one when I was growing up.

 

No.
