Great content Lyle. Our cars are twins, even the shifter. Gives me much to look forward to (250,000 miles) as mine has a mere 63k. I'm 62. This is my weekly adrenaline pill. Thank you for sharing. You're not selfish doing your own car. Gald you did. Thanks, Scott
I love my '99 C5 convertible. It's comforting to know you have over 250k on it and it still runs strong. I currently am just short of 160k but it runs like a racehorse. I think the C5 is the best looking of all the corvettes.
My '92 had just over 200,000 when I bought it in 2014. The previous owner(s) didn't keep it up very well, so I'm basically restoring it. Still haven't put any miles on it. LOTS of new stuff everywhere. Right now it's getting a self inflicted paint job. Then rebuild the steering column and take it for a spin to the inspector. I love your videos, keep 'em coming!
Yes sir. A few days after I purchased the 2004 C5 I got earlier this year, I went to my local Harbor Freight Tools and purchased a tire plug kit and that little yellow air compressor that plugs into the cigarette lighter, or the one under the arm rest. That and a pair of, you said it, needle nose pliers. A few days later, low and behold I came outside to go somewhere and the left rear tire was flat. Well, I plugged the tire, pumped it back up and hit the road to go for a cruise. No spare, no care.
Cool video. I am glad to know that there are many like me that actually uses his/her Corvette. My 93 C4 now has 192K miles and runs beautifully without any major issues 👊🏻
Watch the sale and price jump way up now, of the '03 Corvette. Especially the Z06. Lyles voice is loud and TRUSTED. His car, in that shape with those miles, is a testament showing Lyle walks his talk! And it pays off.
Had a C4 a few years back that was fun but just felt old technically and mechanically. Bought a C5 base convertible last October with 103k on it and love it. Like yours it's mostly stock except Corsa exhaust. Drive it everywhere. Love your z06. Nice to see a Corvette that's driven and enjoyed.
Wow. Robin didn't tell me you are almost 7 ft tall. Been to Carlisle Events many times. Hopefully someday Robin and I will get to Corvettes at Carlisle. Enjoy your time at Carlisle
thanks for the very informative channel. even with a C7 Z06 in my garage, I still miss my 03 Z06!!! what a great car, kudos for the 250k miles!! meant to be driven like ya stole it!!
I try to convey to people often that they are quality cars. You can’t deny it when you have a car that stout performance wise with north of 250k miles. I’d love to see more coverage and detail on this car. It should prompt every Corvette owner to get out and drive…while also keeping up maintenance.
My wife 2000 C5 Z51 320k transmission 200k rebuilt. It was autocrossed. All factory. I sold to another club member. He has a mechanic garage at home. Nothing under the hood replaced, not one hose. I did change 8mm sparkplug wires and changed plugs. The rest maintenance. Thanks yes automatic.
Thanks Lyle, I've been waiting for this video for a long time lol. Love your C5❣ Nice to see another C5 mostly stock👍 I've had my 1998 C5 auto/ coupe for 13 yrs., with over 95,000 miles. I've tried to keep mine mainly stock also. Your LED front Park lights look awesome! Looking to get mine changed out soon, because they are terrible! Real eye sore at car shows 😥 Unfortunately, I can't change them myself, so I'm trying to find a shop in my area that can do that before I purchase those. Hope to see video's with your C5 more often 👍😀 Save the wave👋😎
WHOA…250 k plus miles !! How many miles did you put on it ?? Can’t wait to hear about the engine and tranny rebuilds it has gone through in its life . Don’t cross your fingers when you tell us ..Meanwhile keep on keeping on young man 👍
Funny thing is I don’t have a C5 Z06 yet, but last night I ordered a partition made of carpeted MDF board last night. I want to be ready when I get the car next spring.
My C5 is a 2003 also. Not a Z06. Not a manual transmission. It has "only" 153,000 miles. I'm the 2nd owner, my dad was the 1st owner. Besides the AC compressor, water pump and radiator, it has been very reliable. I'm finally getting around to installing new plugs and wires. The originals are still in there.
Lyle, I would buy a quarter-million mile car before I ever considered a “pristine” 17K mile one. The former has obviously been well maintained and superbly care for. The latter may have never had the oil changed and has sat in the garage for 95% of its life.
Awesome 👏. I just started saving for a C7 Stingray, in 2 years I’ll have a hefty deposit and I’m going to finance the balance. I don’t want to test drive any Corvettes anytime soon until I’m ready to pull the trigger, don’t want to tempt myself from financing more than I need too. A C5 or C6 still maybe an option. Either one will be a manual coupe and hopefully a one owner well maintained one ! Preferably a Non Z51 since I don’t plan on tracking
Personally I would take a c6 grand sport over a c7 base. Not much difference in power, and while the interior shows age that isn’t what corvettes are for anyways
I have 265/40/17 Michelins right now in front but I’ve heard running the 275/40/17 continentals is perfectly fine. There’s a lot of nice nittos in that same size as well that should work great.
Lyle can you please talk about lift springs? Any example of what is an indicator when to replace those. I think is a good quick topic to discuss. Thanks!
I think it had 220K on it when I got it. I have had the car re-painted, the tires replaced, the heater core replaced, and the shocks and brakes done. GM had replaced the transmission and differential in 2017 at the original owners request. Engine is original and has not been modified other than fresh plugs/wires. Lyle
Lyle, I was wanting to know if you sell the harmonic balancer and front seal for the LS1? I just bought a 2004 with 83,000 miles and I heard a little chirping from the belt and a slight wobble. By the way I have a 07 with 229,000miles and it still runs as good as when I bought it.
There are fuzz covered window guides on the top of the door, one about at the middle and one at the rear. They could be worn out or out of adjustment. If the window moves up and down, the clamps at the bottom of the window glass could be loose. Repairs on this will require precise adjustments. Both jobs require taking the inside door panel off. Hope this helps.
Can you add a pic of your plugged in BT adapter? The confines of the C5 cigarette lighter space make me wary of a fixed design. I'm using an adapter with a swivel but am sometimes disappointed with signal quality.
I enjoy watching your videos. I have a 2012 Centennial edition grandsport. My front passenger shock absorber went out. I need to replace it. Is this the right part number 19302775 Ac Delco? I want to install it myself. Thx
Lyle what do you think about the 13’ 427 c6 vs the zo6 c6? And I know it’s a gray area about this subject but the ls7 valve drop issue but can you state your opinion and experience that you and your shop seen?
I have an 08 Z06 and it has always idled a little rough right around 650rpm. New plugs, wires but every few seconds there is a little extra rough vibration. Ive noticed this in other Z06's that I've sat in. It's bone stock except for exhaust. New MAS. Is this normal? Thanks
I have the same car, and tires. I'm curious about what you're running for headlights. I have 90,000 on my daily driver. i bought it 8 years ago with 20,000. Friday on my way home the HUD dropped out of sight. Do you sell the repair kit for that?
I currently have stock headlights, but am looking at an upgrade in the near future...one that I may end up producing...stay tuned! I do sell the HUD repiar kit--it is $25. Give me a call 800-886-5064
That is an intersting idea. I've always been very conscious of people's time and attention span, so I always try to keep them as brief as possible. Maybe I need to rethink that. Lyle
What does everyone think is the best color, going to buy one having a hard time, like M Yellow, have black cars so don’t really want another black. I need help lol
Lyle, do 2011 vettes have problems with their AC/heater control unit ? I’m looking at one it has 115,000 miles, appears to have been taken care of, no accidents according to Carfax. Is the mileage too high for an LS3 ??
They aren't overly problematic in my experience. The miles aren't an issue on an LS3 , but I would want to see some serious maintenance records to offset the mileage. High miles and no records? No deal! Lyle
The shipping on those is really tough--dimensional weight makes it so that I can't ship for free (which I like to do) and it puts the price too high when added in. That said, I LOVE the product...it fits snugly but is easily removeable if you need more space and it does a VERY good job of cutting down the noise from the rear compartment--especially with loud racing exhaust like mine.
@@richardcrow7760 They stay put very well, actually, while still being easy to remove if needed. I had one in my last Z06 for 7 years and it looked and worked as good the day I sold the car. Lyle
Hi there, Lyle enjoy your show. You said you did all the maintenance. Have you change your bushes , shocks your clutch bypass clean out. What name brand did you use for these item where is there is any more thing that you could tell me I have 100,000 miles like to continue on
I changed the front and rear sway bar links, but the bushings on C5's rarely fail with age...mine are still pristine. I installed KYB shocks a couple of years ago, and they are nice cruising units. If I were doing track work I would have changed to the C6 Z06 Shocks. I'm not sure what you mean by the clutch bypass clean-out, so tell me more about that. Change all of your fluids in the car at the same time if possible so that you have a baseline moving forward. Lyle
I was talking about remote bleeding sleeve changing the clutch oil. Did you install one of those ? I have also a C5 Z6. what would you recommend on bushings other than the urethane ones .? You've spoke on another company that has a better quality, but have not made them for the C5 Corvette if they came out with them at this time ? I hope you recall and I hope that you understand what I'm asking. Thank you.
@@mouradmuhammad6163 Gotcha. I have not installed a remote clutch bleeder on my car yet as I haven't had to take the torque tube down to do a clutch or TT rebuild yet. I will absolutely install a remote bleeder when I do that job, though. Lyle
@@patrickursomanno8861 No, the C5’s were the first generation to not carry a spare tire. The C5 Z06 came with a tire inflator kit that had an inflator pump and a bottle of tire sealant. It was on the right side of the trunk.
I just put those same tires on my 02 Z51. Took it to a "track night in america", and I was very impressed with how they gripped. I'd love to see a video on the mods you did and why you did them, to your c5 track car.
He always talks about value the valve on this car is down because of mileage so yes mileage means alot for valve period he would be lucky to get 15-16k
I need help with a 2001 Z06 roof leaking. I've replaced the windshield and the reveal molding etc. I think I rush replace the brackets 2k later it's leaking worse than it did before. It's pooling water in the rear trunk compartments and under the seat. I'm beyond frustrated. Please help lol.
I'm not sure that the windshield replacement could cause leakage at the rear of the car like that...sounds like a separate issue. Check your drains in the rear body for blockages first. Lyle
What do you call that trunk divider?. I cannot find it on Amazon. The first thing I replaced was the "passenger bus" steering wheel. Put in a flat bottom Momo. Best thing I could have done.
As to tires, I've always been a fan of Michelin's but not anymore. Like you, I went with the Continental Extreme's on my GS and I'll never go back to Michelin's. This was another great upload Lyle, but when you said, "battery drain," what exactly were you referring to? Thanks in advance and Save the Wave 🙋♂
Love it! We have a 2004 Coupe we bought new and now has 263k miles on it.
I have that partition in my c5 vert.....It's a must have for sure

best thing to do with a vette is to drive it. Maintenance is a responsibility that pays off.
Love all you presentations , truly appreciate all you do for us in the Corvette Community !
I appreciate you guys, just bought my first vette at 21. Got a ‘13 3LT and your videos helped me a lot with choosing it.
Congrats on owning a nice car at just 21 yrs old. Now, make sure you make it to 22, 23, 24, you get the drift, I'm sure!!
Congratulations bro 🔥🙌🏽
Congrats on your first! Bought my first at 20 a 1981 in red. I’m 25 now and I’m on my 3rd corvette. A 90 and a 79.

Didn't realize how bad my rear hatch struts were till I put the ones in I got from you. Man what a difference
--Yep-- Just like you have no ideas how bad your shocks are until you put new ones on and **POOF** whole new car! :) Lyle
Nice Car, I have 325,000 on my base 1997 C5. Best advice is change fluids belts and hoses regularly.

Another couple things you should also have in your emergency truck kit. A tire plug kit and a pair of needle nose pliers.

Good INFO On Vettes.Keep It UP.
Thanks for the walk around lyle
My baby has about 1/2 the miles as yours but i too treat her well as she does me. Change that oil!

I like to watch your posts. It's short and summarized, pretty straight forward. Very appreciative. Keep up the good work, sir!
Excellent video and a great testament to how reliable the LS-series of Corvettes can be if you take car of your car. Also love the cheesy humor 😆!
These are great cars! You mind sharing your maintenance schedule, like oil change intervals by mileage/time, what oil type, etc. Thanks for sharing.
I surely enjoy all your videos Lyle! Thanks for all you do for us. Wish you were my neighbor! You just seem like a great guy!😊👍

Hey Lyle, I have the convertible version 2003, in black. Will see you in August as scheduled. I am intrigued by the light upgrades and the divider.
From Yuma Az good help thanks.
Hey Lyle, how often do you change your oil? Does that hot Florida heat make you change it more often?
Lyle, cool battery charger/compressor. How often do you re-charge it, even when it's not in use?
Support
Also fir new buyers can you make a video of corvette insurance and different types
I have a 2005 c6 vette with a very bad electrical problem. I need help.

Hey Lyle.
What size tires are you running on the front rims?
I have 265/40/17 Michelins right now in front but I’ve heard running the 275/40/17 continentals is perfectly fine. There’s a lot of nice nittos in that same size as well that should work great.
Lyle can you please talk about lift springs? Any example of what is an indicator when to replace those. I think is a good quick topic to discuss. Thanks!
Thanks Lyle. What major maintenance repairs or items have you done to your car and how many miles did the car have when you purchased it?
I think it had 220K on it when I got it. I have had the car re-painted, the tires replaced, the heater core replaced, and the shocks and brakes done. GM had replaced the transmission and differential in 2017 at the original owners request. Engine is original and has not been modified other than fresh plugs/wires. Lyle
😃😃👍👍awesome
Lyle, I was wanting to know if you sell the harmonic balancer and front seal for the LS1? I just bought a 2004 with 83,000 miles and I heard a little chirping from the belt and a slight wobble. By the way I have a 07 with 229,000miles and it still runs as good as when I bought it.
I keep all of that on the shelf here, so give me a call to sort out costs. Lyle 800-886-5064
Which park lights are those? Also what LED upgrade is suggested (if any?)for the taillights?
Hello thanks for all you, I would to get a Trunk Compartment Divider Partition for my C6 do you know where I can one for the C6. Thanks.
Love all your videos! Do you have a video on wobbly windows? If not that would be a great topic for your next video.
There are fuzz covered window guides on the top of the door, one about at the middle and one at the rear. They could be worn out or out of adjustment. If the window moves up and down, the clamps at the bottom of the window glass could be loose. Repairs on this will require precise adjustments. Both jobs require taking the inside door panel off. Hope this helps.
I appreciate all and any help. I forgot to mention this is an issue on my C5z
Can you add a pic of your plugged in BT adapter? The confines of the C5 cigarette lighter space make me wary of a fixed design. I'm using an adapter with a swivel but am sometimes disappointed with signal quality.
Do you get the dreaded c1295 code as a result of those front marker lights? If so, did you put a resistor to fix it?

@@csvette Thank you. The reveal moldings are leaking also but I'll have to find a way to fix that. 3m strip caulk didn't work.
@@MF-Rell That would be my next move, too. Better/Thicker strip caulk.
@@csvette TY.
So low mileage c5 with proper maintenance every is worth so much more

What do you call that trunk divider?. I cannot find it on Amazon. The first thing I replaced was the "passenger bus" steering wheel. Put in a flat bottom Momo. Best thing I could have done.
THere is a link to it directly under the video...just click that and It will take you there. Lyle
@@csvette going to buy the $40 one without the logo
Far out... high mileage means nothing to a we'll taken care of Corvette...
Not the c6 lol
As to tires, I've always been a fan of Michelin's but not anymore. Like you, I went with the Continental Extreme's on my GS and I'll never go back to Michelin's. This was another great upload Lyle, but when you said, "battery drain," what exactly were you referring to? Thanks in advance and Save the Wave 🙋♂
The best upgrade is to paint it electron blue.
