    Redrilling cobra rotors

    I can only find about 3 drill presses within 20 miles and none of the shops will let me use them or redrill the bolt pattern for me saying, "I'm a certified mechanic and i've never heard of this blah blah blah should have bought the right parts". I don't really want to drive an hour and a half...

    Guess what i did wrong and win

    I just got done replacing the entire front suspension on the passenger side (excluding hubs and spindle) and took it in for a quick alignment so it would get me to work for the next 2 days until i could take more time off to finish the driver side. Coming back from the shop i was braking to...

    Frozen inner tie rods

    I'm in the middle of replacing the inners/outers and it seems like the new ones i got don't swivel at all while the ones on the car are really loose. Is this ok? Is that little plug that gets driven into the inners going to make it loose? I don't know much about suspension, just pulling and...

    Any new car under 100k

    Due to some bizarre and sickening circumstances my friend has a chance to get any new car under $100k for the $200 registration fee. A couple things to keep in mind is that he's 19 and works $14 an hour at a record store. Personally my vote is on the c6, because between the two of us we wouldnt...

    255/55/18 to tall?

    I have some 18x8's with 35mm offset and I'm trying to kill a few birds with one stone: I want something taller than stock (26.63" vs 29.04") in order to help compensate for the 3.73 speedo gear I have in there with my 4.10 rear. I want to fill the wells a little better and also have a large...

    Method for stuck LCA bolt (if all else fails)

    Done! almost at least Foolproof method for unsticking this bolt is the factory jack, large pipe wrench, and a 1/2" drive. http://home.comcast.net/~maxgover/unstickingsmall.JPG (already cut the strut off) The main problem was not having enough room to put enough leverage on something without the...
