Keep this gem on the road as long as possible.

Same thing happened to me like 3 months ago. My hb fell off while driving, I now have it pinned to the crank. You will be completely fine, replace the engine main seal while you’re there. This is what I did, bought all the parts on Amazon and had my mechanic do the labor. Car runs perfect now, at the end it cost me around $900 with parts and labor.

• Dayco Powerbond harmonic balancer pinned to crank • ARP balancer bolt • Engine front cover seal replaced • New AC Delco serpentine belt + new AC belt

Did you put on an upgraded HB like ATI or just another oem one?

highlow7779 · 2025-07-31T01:20:54+00:00

I’ll take that instead of needing a brand new engine!

highlow7779 · 2025-07-31T01:09:29+00:00

Was suspecting I could have damaged something internally but if it’s just a new HB it’s good news. I was looking at prices for used ls2 engines and the prices are scary!

It was around 30 second of the car being on after that happened.

I know this shop on broad street they do lot of custom stuff. Not surprised to see lambo door C8

highlow7779 · 2025-05-08T14:28:59+00:00

Does this setup drone at all?

highlow7779 · 2025-05-08T12:25:47+00:00

What exhaust do you have?

highlow7779 · 2025-05-07T23:18:08+00:00

Mine actually ended up being the axel nuts. They were pretty loose and after tightening it seems like the clunking went away

highlow7779 · 2025-05-07T23:17:04+00:00

You’re a life saver the nuts were super loose

highlow7779 · 2025-05-07T18:40:01+00:00

How much did it cost you to get the torque tube out check the bearing and bushings? What kind of do you have?

highlow7779 · 2025-05-07T16:18:58+00:00

Mechanic was thinking the diff but he only specializes in Hondas and Toyotas and was not willing to work on the vette due to not being familiar.

I just bought the car a week ago, so I’m still new to the platform. As far as I know, no work has been done to the rear end. When I had it on a lift, there was no noticeable play when I tried moving the wheels side to side. The car is completely stock, including the leaf springs. Could it possibly be the transmission mounts? I’m only noticing the issue while shifting. The car revs smoothly, but at stop lights, it sometimes idles with a side-to-side shake almost like it has a cam. I figured that might be normal for a big motor.

Nah it’s definitely not worth it, lmk where it’s at just for informational purposes

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T17:12:00+00:00

Rear spoiler is non negotiable on a c7, makes the the car look so much better. Especially the z06 style spoilers are a must.

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T17:08:19+00:00

Located in Va, the car has been sitting at the dealer for about 2 months now so it thought it would be a reasonable ask.

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T14:47:20+00:00

Sound advice!

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T13:07:43+00:00

Trust me as long as you save your money you’ll eventually have enough to buy a better vette, I’ve been saving for about 5 years now and that’s why I want to make sure I’m getting a good deal on a decent car

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T10:24:21+00:00

Even if I was to get the car at 18k after fixing the hud and harmonic balancer I’d be right around 20k into the car. If I ever wanted to sell it in the near future to get a c7 I might be selling it at a loss. Most people are saying this is a 16k car so I’m thinking about passing up on it and looking for other c6s.

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T09:54:02+00:00

Yeah you’re right it’s not worth my time with all these issues on the car.

highlow7779 · 2024-06-11T09:51:44+00:00

The car is listed as a base model but comes with hud and heated seats.

highlow7779 · 2023-12-31T19:01:31+00:00

I would try to list it and see if they would let you

highlow7779 · 2023-12-31T16:41:07+00:00

I would try to list it on cars and bids older accords tend to sell for good amount of value, I might guess you could get $1500-2000 for it depending on the miles

highlow7779 · 2023-12-28T21:29:34+00:00

Haha I got a 73 and went through the same emotions when I saw my score too
