I test drove that exact car before i got mine. The guy lives in ocoee near orlando. The car is red with red leather. Dont get it. The paint has scratches all over it. The tires are all shot and the rims are scratched. And the exhaust doesn't really sound that good.

I went to autozone and scanned the codes and this time I actually wrote them down. P0151= 02 sensor Bank2 sensor 1, low voltage P0158= Bank 2 sensor 2, high voltage P0174= Bank 2, system too lean P0300= multiple cylinder misfire P1153= Manufacturer control, fuel air meter I dont know...

I finally got my new clutch put in and now it is on to the engine trouble. It all started a few months ago when I got the SES light. The code said bad O2 sensors. The car seemed to be running rich, I could smell fuel, power was down, and the idle was rough. I replaced the sensors with bosch...

Well the problems have piled up and I'm finally gonna have the $$ to take car of them. I will be doing all of the work myself so labor is not an issue. Here is the list; -Clutch and flywheel -rotors and pads front and rear -rebuild and paint calipers -tune up; plugs, wires, 02 sensors, fuel...

The Z tire rating came out as an all around performance rating, 149mph+, ratings like V, W, and Y were meant to distinguish the varying degrees of how much over 149 the tires could go, Y is 186 mph, which most of our cars can't even go.

The dual mass flywheel can't be resurfaced at least thats what I've heard dozens of times. I can get a fidanza alum fw and stage 1 clutch kit shipped for $910 which is cheaper than the DM flywheel alone. Would this be a good setup. Again, I can do the work myself. Also, are there any other...

Well, I'm gonna need a clutch real soon, anything more than 1/4 throttle under 3500 rpm and the engine just revs up without the car going anywhere. I'm trying to take it easy, but it is very difficult to drive on the highway when you basically have to downshift to third to be able to hit the gas...

I need to buy some new front rotors for my 96 and need some advice. I want to know if anyone has bought the power slot slotted rotors on mid america. They are only $10 more per rotor over the stock 13 inchers.

I drive my torch red LT4 every day rain or shine. Of course I'm in Florida and winter isn't really a factor, just means that the top can't always be off.:D I bought it in december and have already put 6000 miles on it. I just can't imagine driving anything else.

From your pic, it looks like your front rims are facing the wrong direction. You can get the ZR1 rims on ebay shipped for around $500. Just an idea. However the price difference between 285's and 315's are around $70 per tire. Anyway, welcome to the club.

Oops, I didn't see that you have a ZR1. Are those Bosch pads as good as the originals. (Also, are the OEM pads AC Delco).

My only concern with buying cheaper pads is that the 96 has the ZR1 brakes.

Well, my front brakes are squealing, they make a chirping noise almost anytime the car is in motion, this started about 3 or 4 days ago. When I hit the brakes sometimes the sounds goes away, sometimes it turns into a constant squeal. I looked up the AC Delco pads and they were $230 for the front...

Well, I went to close my hatch today and instead of closing straight, it twisted off to the side. One of the two bolts or hinges or whatever they're called that holds the glass to the roof was missing. I cant find the piece on ecklers or mid america. Someone please help before the other one...

I have the muffler elims on my car but the sound is not quite strong (loud)enough for me. A buddy of mine has a 96 cobra and he has an off-road x pipe. It was a bolt on kit that mounts right up to the stock headers and replaces the cats. Does anybody make a piece like this for our cars. We dont...
