    Wheel/Tire Combo question

    Greetings, I'm contemplating the best overall setup for the car. I am considering 18 x 9 fronts with 18 x 10.5 rears, and want the overall wheel diameter to be identical or nearly identical to the 25.7" (811 revs/mile) OEM setup. I currently run the stock rims with Goodyear GS-D3's...

    A/C Cuts Out

    Greetings, For those of you who live in hot climates, I learned today that if the engine temperature gets too high, the ECU will turn the AC compressor off. I have driven in traffic in 110+ degree days, and this has hapened to me twice in the last few years - the second time was yesterday...

    Idle issue with A/C on

    Greetings, I have noticed when the weather warms up and I run the AC, the idle with the AC on is just high enough (around 850 - 900rpm) to where the car will shake. It doesn't do this when the air is off and it doesn't do it at all in cooler weather, with or without the AC on. The tach...

    Idling Issue

    Greetings, A few weeks ago, I noticed that when sitting at a stoplight my idle makes the car shake but there's no idle stumbling; the tach needle is steady and doesn't move at all. I have 51K miles on the car. To attempt to correct the condition, I've done the following: - Ran some...

    Stock Isos on H&R Race Springs

    Greetings, I installed my H&R race springs using a new factory set of isolators front and rear. My question concerns the rear isolators. Since the rear spring coil diameter is larger than the stock springs, has anyone had any luck using the stock upper isolator? I noticed mine have moved...

    Heater Core Replacement Instructions

    Does anyone have this for our cars? Looks like I'll be needing some instructions since I keep hearing heater core replacement in our cars would make Freddy Krueger run away screaming. Thanks in advance! Mint

    Owned by a C6 Vette

    This morning, Avenue P heading eastbound towards the 14 South, ran what appeared to be a stock C6 vette. At the first light we came to, he went for it and I didn't pay any attention, but when we pulled up to the second light I knew he was on. Green light, I get some wheelspin but he just walks...

    Greetings All! This forum has a ton of useful information, and this may be a re-post, but I'd like all of you to know how simple this fix is. When you turn on your A/C and it makes a "thud" or noise, it's likely coming from the accumulator/drier (black cylindrical unit that's mounted on the...

    This afternoon around 3:30pm, going up the 5 north near the 14 split a guy with a sweet yellow Z06 passes me - we're in moderate traffic, but I get a chance to pass him but I leave it in third. He's in the far left lane, and pulls along side of me and we had a brief chance to hit it. He got...
