You are bidding on my 1988 Chevrolet c 1500 pickup.  this truck has served me well for the past 3 years and i have taken this to many shows from St. Ignace to Woodward.  i was planning on taking it on the hot rod power tour this year but since i had hit some hard times i have decided to sell her.  i have used her to go to work from Chicago and back many of times without any hassles. i not only used this truck for show but for work as well. so here what she has on her so far.


the truck currently has 155000 miles on her.  i have a list of 600 dollars in parts that i put into the truck which includes putting in an alternator, new starter, power steering pump, water pump, new ignition module, new rotor, and distributor and new lower ball joints.  the truck runs strong and the transmission shifts smooth.  but there are some things that it needs due to the age of the truck.  but is minor things that need to be done to make it perfect.  This truck has a lot of customization done to it also including being correctly lowered 2 inches in the front and 3 inches in the back with drop spindles, 2 inch lowered springs , and sport truck gas shocks all the way around. it has a fiberglass roll pan for a rear bumper, and a painted front bumper.  this truck also has a 98 front clip on the front including a green illuminated bow-tie in the grille.  there is a hard tonneau cover on the box as well as a bedrug carpet and altezza taillights.  the truck also has the SS 454 bucket seats and center console for the interior. 

firstly, the body mounts for the cab and the box need to be replaced, secondly the shocks need to be changed out due to the loss of gas in them, it does need a set of tires as well.  the cruise control switch has broke of the turn signal switch and needs to be replaced as well but the cruise control still works. the AC also needs to be recharged. not to mention i had a careless driver in a Walmart parking lot bump into my grille and leave. needing a new grille, as well as some bodywork due to miscellaneous dents and rust.  but other than that this truck is ready for work or play or if you want a running driving project truck to take to car shows. it is all up to you.:) 

The reserve is way lower than the buy it now price so rest assured you can own this at a very affordable rate.  i also have a second set of wheels for the truck for 300 bucks if you are interested.:)

i hate to see her go but i have to make room in my garage for my new business.  but my loss is your gain.  now if you want me to deliver her to you i  can do that for 1.75 cents a mile.  i also have the right to end the auction early cause it is for sale locally.  if you have any questions you can get a hold of me at 989 513 4237 and ask for Ethan. or if you want to email me your questions then i'll be more than happy to answer them for you.

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Is the skill of rev matching being lost to computers?

Fri, Oct 9 2015

If the ability to drive a vehicle equipped with a manual gearbox is becoming a lost art, then the skill of being able to match revs on downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. The usefulness of rev matching in street driving is limited most of the time – aside from sounding cool and impressing your friends. But out on a race track or the occasional fast, windy road, its benefits are abundantly clear. While in motion, the engine speed and wheel speed of a vehicle with a manual transmission are kept in sync when the clutch is engaged (i.e. when the clutch pedal is not being pressed down). However, when changing gear, that mechanical link is severed briefly, and the synchronization between the motor and wheels is broken. When upshifting during acceleration, this isn't much of an issue, as there's typically not a huge disparity between engine speed and wheel speed as a car accelerates. Rev-matching downshifts is the stuff they would teach at the automotive equivalent of the Shaolin Temple. But when slowing down and downshifting – as you might do when approaching a corner at a high rate of speed – that gap of time caused by the disengagement of the clutch from the engine causes the revs to drop. Without bringing up the revs somehow to help the engine speed match the wheel speed in the gear you're about to use, you'll typically get a sudden jolt when re-engaging the clutch as physics brings everything back into sync. That jolt can be a big problem when you're moving along swiftly, causing instability or even a loss of traction, particularly in rear-wheel-drive cars. So the point of rev matching is to blip the throttle simultaneously as you downshift gears in order to bring the engine speed to a closer match with the wheel speed before you re-engage the clutch in that lower gear, in turn providing a much smoother downshift. When braking is thrown in, you get heel-toe downshifting, which involves some dexterity to use all three pedals at the same time with just two feet – clutch in, slow the car while revving, clutch out. However, even if you're aware of heel-toe technique and the basic elements of how to perform a rev match, perfecting it to the point of making it useful can be difficult.
