I'm always surprised at the right leaning thinking that pops up on the forum. The Prius gets 40+ mpg. If Toyota can do it, so can GM. In fact, we're the folks who put a man on the moon in nine years, built the Internet, wrote the Constitution. Let's go for 50+ mpg. Gas will be $4 again and...

I've got to agree with Tom94. I've got a 94 DAILY driver with 103,000 on the clock and it should be judged against its peers, a 100K+ class.

Also check the weather stripping, specifically around the front windshield and door windows. A lot of C4's show rubber splitting facing the rear vertical edge of the window doors. Also feel under the water pump after the engine is cool enough to touch. Do you feel any radiator fluid. Radiator...

I went to Home Depot and bought a small black oil can that has a "trigger pump" and about a four inch long thin nozzle that easily fits in the fill hole. I marked it DIFF FLUID and I only use for refillling the rear end.

Thanks. Very good news. I've decided to join before my C4 'matures' to NCRS judging age.

Boeingdriver, I'm going the stock route, judging might be in the car's future. I think it’s worth it, assuming the judging and membership fees are reasonable. I've been told that NCRS membership is $35, an additional $10 for local chapter fees and about $30-$40 for local judging, (this was...

Very good - thanks.

What does NCRS charge for judging? Are only member's cars judged? Any ideas when the 94 Specification Guide will be available and when 94's will be eligible for judging?

I did the right rear two plugs when I replaced the fuel filter and the driver's side rear two plugs when I replaced the brake vacuum booster. The front plugs on both sides were, by contrast, much easier to get to.

Very good guys, thanks for the reply. I'll go with new bolts from GM. Again, thanks.

94 Polo Green Coupe - 102450 miles, daily driver. Do I have to remove the caliper mounting brackets to get the front rotors off? The service manual says yes, and also says to replace the caliper mounting bolts. The bolts require about four million pounds of torque, actually 165 and I weigh...

I have the same exact model, that's in good condition but your condition sounds really great. I've also got 102,000 miles on the odometer. If you sell now, you're selling at a lot point. Condiiton is everything and your car sounds like it would a world class survivor. Hold on to it, get it...

Very good - thanks much - glad a 6spd guy responded.

Thanks for comments guys, much appreciated. Moroso is not far away at all and sounds like a great idea.

My 94 is a six speed with 98k and a DD. I've never really 'punched it', but have recently driven past two drap strips. I'm wondering: 1) How safe is it for the car to really push the tac up to the 4-5K, redline range? 2) I've spoken to some folks who say start shifting at 4.5K because that...
