My first vette
 

My friends,
I just got my first vette is a 1992 convertible! any recomendation would be greatly apreciated on: tune ups, equipment, etc. the water tempeture gauge is not working. Im from Mexico so we do not have to many vettes! Thanks in advance for all the help!

RE: My first vette
 

hmmm...the temperature gauge may not be working due to a bad sensor or sending unit..or it could be the gauge. the sensor shouldnt be very hard to change, it is usually somewhere around the front of the engine block, but im not 100% sure on your car. how does it run? when was the last time it was tuned up? any ideas? auto or manual transmission?

RE: My first vette
 

Thanks Patrick, it is auto transmission and it was tuned up a month ago! it runs good! I just changed the air filter for a K&N one. I do not know what other tweeks I can do to get more out of it? A friend told me about a chip? it is good? how expensive is? Thanks for the help!

RE: My first vette
 

a 1992 should have a chip available...if i am not mistaken, mexico doesnt have any emissions laws, right? how about safety inspections, or limits on modifying your car?

RE: My first vette
 

You are rigth! no laws or limitations, so I can modify the vette! the vette is already with ROMULUS exhaust mufllers, blistein shoks and a throttle body flow master. I just want to know what other minor twicks I can do to improve performance such as spark plugs, wires, oil type, etc. This is the first time that I owne a muscle car! So I need guidance on this.
Thanks again for all the help Patrick

ok...to go along with the exhaust, i woudl go with exhaust headers...and remove the catalytic converter if there is one....the more free flowing the exhaust is, the better. i will ask a friend who has a vette where the ebst place to buy a chip is, and ill get back to you!

RE: My first vette
 

i would go with the headers back first too! then bigger intake system...perhaps a supercharger?

RE: My first vette
 

hmm...have you thought about supercharging it?

RE: My first vette
 

The best first mod is a new exhast...Corsa makes a good one, but there are many others. Then work the intake, Blackwing is what I have on mine. This is the fastest way to add some ponies without cracking into anything. After that, headers is a good mod before you start messing with intakes, cams, or the like.
