- We take a trip down to Kentucky to see the Corvette Museum. This is my fourth visit and if you plan them right, there is a good chance you can see something new each time.
This was my first trip with my own Corvette and it was fun to think my car was built right by here about 25 years ago. Enjoy our quick tour video!
Nice 👍. I will be doing the same with my 1999 FRC, either next year or the following year. I’ve never been to the NCM. Going to be a great trip.
If you remember I have the same pewter metallic FRC. By the way, I ordered from NCM the original window sticker and build sheet. Had them laminated too for $6 each. Definitely worth it.
That’s awesome! It’s a fun drive. The sticker and build sheet is super neat to have. Gave me some insight into what was optioned and such. How do you like your FRC so far?
@@RubberCityMotoring it’s been awesome. I made two long drives to Delaware with my fiancée and back about 200 mile round-trip and some several drives to South Jersey with to some wineries. Definitely worth every penny. I’m going to keep the runflat Tires for three more years until they reach 10 years old. They’re virtually new tread wise there were 7/32 in the front and 10/32 in the rear when I got the car in April. I’m still using the Bluetooth cassette adapter for playing my music through my iPhone that’s good enough. I was tempted to put an Alpine double din unit in but I don’t see the need for it. I do want to keep the car as close to stock as possible. Even the original exhaust is still on the car maybe in a year or two I’ll go for the titanium Z06 exhaust. One thing I need to do next year is put in new end links for the stabilizer bar. The original ones definitely need to be swapped out.
At really low speeds I hear a lot of creaking in the suspension. I’m not sure if it’s the end links or rubber bushings near the struts.
@@RubberCityMotoring I bought a great phone holder for my iPhone 13 from ProClip USA . It actually mounts much lower next to the HVAC controls. I love it because it’s not up in the windshield area.
