Mod Your C4 Corvette

In this video I share some of the mods I made to my C4 Corvette. From taillights to seatbelts, it's the little things that count.

[@kennygibbs9627]

I love my C4 Corvette, I don't care what others think my 89 L98 is awesome 😎 no rear window made into hatchback different than all 89's.

[@kussstuff]

I totally agree! Thanks for the comments

[@petercermak1910]

Hello Michael. Love your C4. I am restoring my 87 C4 Z52 that I ordered from GM when I was 26 years old. Needless to say, I have touched every square in of her, and consider her My girl. She outlasted my first wife who owned her with me. Yes, I chose the Vette! She is going to be a modified show/bracket car. I've been racing her for years now. The old L98 350 was quite a powerhouse and ran over 225,000 miles before I retired her. Now, with a brand-new Blueprint Racing 427 L98 hybrid engine, and the old TH700R rebuilt, the Phoenix is rising from the Ashes! Keep the C4 family alive and well!

[@kussstuff]

That's great to hear buying new and keeping the L98 running for 225,000 miles. Good luck with your project, its sounds cutting edge.

Words of wisdom I can listen to you tell me how to take care of my car all day

[@kussstuff]

Thank You, That's so nice to hear.

I saw my 85' light blue metallic on the side of the road and instantly fell in love! I wasn't a corvette guy before, but once I saw the digital dash and the engine under the hood there was no way I was passing up on it.

[@kussstuff]

You have been bit by the C4 Corvette magic. Congratulations we all share in your excitement. Thanks for sharing.

[@ROXSTARCorvette4371]

Your car is absolutely stunning! You have every right to be proud of your C4! I own an '87 convertible and an '85 coupe and love them both. BTW, your video production and editing is great. Thanks for a very informative video. You have a new subscriber.

[@evanwatling3897]

Your corvette is beautiful. I love the proud display of the z51 package, as well as the prominent c4 insignias. My favorite is the graphic under the hood.

[@kussstuff]

Thank you for the comment. It is very encouraging.

I have a 90 corvette as my daily and i love it! Nothing better as a Maui cruiser.

[@kussstuff]

Sounds good David, the right Vett in the right place

[@user-ug2rh4qb6n]

I bought my 84 c4 about 6 months ago. It was rough, been sitting since 09. Most people would have probably passed on it. But I love turning crap into something beautiful. It didn't take much at all to get it running and driving pretty good. I liked it when I bought it, now I love it. Really admire the details you did on yours. Great job.

[@kussstuff]

Thats great! That's the kind of story I like to here. Thanks for sharing.

[@vacuumtube1954]

Good morning MK, cool video and very tasteful mods you have done to your C4. Thanks for this video my friend. 😎☕

[@antoniotrew8131]

I'll be joining the Corvette family this Thursday as I'm picking up a 86 model...It's Canary yellow with black interior with 112,000 miles for $4500 which seems like a good price for me....Only downside is it's an automatic which I know most Vetts are but I'd still love to have manual one....Can't wait till I start my Corvette build journey

[@kussstuff]

Welcome to the Corvette family, Thats a sharp color and a good year. Best of luck. Thanks for sharing.

[@antoniotrew8131]

@@kussstuffAppreciate it brotha

[@Slowgroovin]

My 85 is just a black primered fixer upper, but I really enjoy driving it.

[@kussstuff]

Well it sounds like your off to a great start. Being able to drive it while fixing it up makes it all the more enjoyable.

There is an adhesive putty product I have been using for decades to affix small trim parts in a semi-permanent but removable manner. It is sold by a company called Parts Express, it is a speaker sealing caulk, their part# is 260-400, they used to sell it under a different number but I just looked at the item online and it looks like the same stuff in a different packaging. It is strips of black dum-dum putty, but unlike other similar compounds this stuff has excellent adhesive properties, much stickier than other sealing putty. I use it all over the interior to affix small items that have no easy way to be screwed on. I have some custom accessories in the dash of my truck where I made a small panel of ABS plastic to mount them, but there is no way to screw the panel down, so I stuck it on there with this putty and it holds, truck is 21 years old, been on there solid for decades. I have a couple of power window switches that had to come apart to change a burned out light bulb in them, and the doggone things are very hard to get apart without breaking the plastic clip that secures it. A dab of this putty fixes a busted switch button so nobody will ever know, and it does not come loose in the hot weather either. I have some on a sunroof switch that is overhead and it is holding against gravity. The putty does not harden and can be pulled apart if needed. It is black and any residue can be cleaned with mineral spirit paint thinner. It can obviously seal water and air leaks, it's weatherproof and has a million and one uses limited only by your own imagination. I keep a glob of it in the top drawer of my toolbox, any time I have a hard to reach fastener that needs to fished in and out on the end of an extension I put a dab in the socket to hold it in the socket. I have situations where a screw needs to be fished in on the end of a long extension with a u-joint on the end at an exact angle, and I can't have the u-joint flopping loose, so I pack a dab inside the u-joint so it will stay set at the desired angle but can still flex once I get the screw in the hole and start turning it. Solvent will clean it out if desired, but I just leave it in the u-joint because it works better that way.

[@kussstuff]

It's always good to hear about a new product, thanks for sharing.

[@DC.]

Just recently got a 94 C4. Looking forward to getting some of these modifications you recommended. Great video!

[@kussstuff]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@markcrawford8876]

Very nice C4, and yes I have been a fan of that particular 5.7 from day one as well. Still think it's the best looking 5.7 GM ever produced. Love my 04' C5 too! 🏁⚜️🇺🇸

[@kussstuff]

Totally agree, it's just the overall visual flow of the TPI that I like. Love the C5 👍

[@Joejoe8383]

Very nice corvette 😎

Thank you,you do a good job.

[@kussstuff]

I appreciate that! Thanks

[@frankfish2596]

Hey Michael, Thank you for the quick response. My apologies I was referring to the trim piece with the red lettering "Tune Port Injection" Not the actual TPI unit itself.

[@kussstuff]

I'm glad you asked about the painted trim piece and how to paint it, clean and easy. I plan to make it part of my next video. So, keep a look out. Thanks for the question.

[@kussstuff]

Frank, I just released the video on Panting TPI, hopefully it answers your question.

[@kennygibbs9627]

Keep having videos 📹 thanks again. 👍

[@kussstuff]

Will do!

Your car is clean . I have a polo green 94 coupe myself.

I bought a 96 CE 5 years ago and I love it. Low miles and is inexpensive for what it is. LT1 with auto and it's way more than enough.

Thats great to here, they become part of who you are.

man that thing is GORGEOUS! I have to clean up my engine bay bad haha. any tips?

Thanks gman, that's great to here. It takes lots of time, but worth it.

[@dmkband25]

Awesome Vette I have an 86 in great condition with 58k miles. Thanks for the great information. I was surprised on your cup holder lid you haven’t installed the vehicle spec info plate on it? Motor size, torq, hp, just one more thing to show how awesome it is.

[@kussstuff]

I do think vehicle spec info plate are cool, I should do it, I just haven't yet. Thanks for the push, its going on the list.

[@frankfish2596]

Great mods. Can you please explain, or make another video of how you painted the "Tuned Port Injection" Thank you

[@kussstuff]

The "Tuned Port Injection" is not painted, just cleaned, but the valve covers are painted to match the Tune Port . Thanks for the question.

Have. A 84 and. 85 in Florida

[@kussstuff]

Thats great, I find it hard enough to keep one running.

[@llineedsadragstrip4089]

Eliminate the catalytic car emissions. Exemption....change geas. To. 355. In diff. Turn up fuel psi 2 lbs.

[@kussstuff]

Now that's a good idea.

[@kennygibbs9627]

I have the same lover's for tail lights same problem don't want to scratch paint so I'll do the same either double stick tape or velcro.

[@kussstuff]

Sounds good, just make sure they stick.

[@boizimdixuxu]

Nice video! I’m looking at one 1985 Z51 and a non-Z51. Could you describe what are the differences and advantages of Z51?

[@kussstuff]

I have been thinking of making a video on the advantages of Z51 performance. But until then here are a few of the main differences to help you make up your mind, faster steering, 9.5 wheels all around, Blistine Shocks, larger sway bars, oil cooling, push fan is standard on Z51. I think you know my opinion after watching this video.

[@user-dr1ni7jb9w]

My cruise control has quit working?

[@kussstuff]

Of course I'm sure you checked fuse box, but since it was working double check the fuse, sometimes they look good but are bad. .Check for a leak in the vacuum line coming from the cruise control. Good luck

[@kennygibbs9627]

We have almost same things.

[@kussstuff]

Good to here.

[@lolguppyo]

i got a 1988 it has a issue where the emergency lights turn on when i open the door do you know how to fix this

[@kussstuff]

Thats a tough one, it could be related to Vats security system, that's where I would start. Ask some questions on C4 face book sites, lots of help there, good luck!

[@happi3r80]

How about a v12 swap lmao

[@kussstuff]

OK
