Hib, We're men and reading directions isn't in our blood. We take things apart first and then read directions after a woman yells at us to! :L I have not read a single bad comment about PFADT coilovers. Too much for my government salary but if I had the coin and could justify it with...

Definitely! I'd even take a C5 over the new Camaro. They just don't do it for me, the Camaro never did, I liked the Trans Am better, the styling was just more aggressive and bold. I'd even take a 5.0 Mustang over the new Camaro and I'm definitely not into Mustangs.

I would never leave the keys in the car unless someone else was sitting in there, not even if I was pumping gas. Unless it's within arms reach, it's not secure. In the military, not securing something can have harsh consequences. :L Then again, if a kid took off with my ZR-1, the...

When I saw this a few weeks ago, it made me want to get an LS3 C6 and then throw the Edelbrock on top of it. I saw a You Tube video on it and it looks very good. I even read the installation instructions and it looked quite complicated, probably not a DIY type of thing.:L How much can the...

That's what I had considered before I bought my '03 Z. For me, I wanted the LS3, Z51, 3LT and 6M. Those factors priced the C6 just high enough so I would have to sell my Scion. I didn't want to do that as I wanted 2 cars. In retrospect, I'm glad I had 2 cars because the Scion has come in...

What if he plans on driving 150,000 miles in 2 years?:L A great alternative for heads are take off heads from the ZZ4 crate motors, you can get them for about $350. They are aluminum as well.

I honestly think that it's not a necessity. With hotter temperatures down here in OK, my car has ran fine. What you should do is make sure the coolant is fresh and that the radiator has no debris blocking air from cooling it.

You won't have to spend $30k on a C5 Z, you can get them for $25k these days with low mileage. Few things to look out for: The T-56 6 speed is a weak link in these cars. Lots of cheap metal parts inside of that transmission. I replaced mine with an RPM IV trans. Column lock. Check to...

Definitely true. It's the same work to take the fuel rail off and the car will be down for pretty much the same amount of time. Lots of guys go with the 24 lb/hr injectors now, I think the OEM were Bosch, though. Lots of guys go with the Ford "pink top" injectors. The L98, due to the...

Gentlemen, Kind of related to the issue of cooling. I changed the thermostat on my '03 Z06 yesterday. When I took the thermostat off, all the coolant came pouring out, kind of expected that. Now what I also expected was to see a fill cap on the radiator but I did not see one. Do I just...

I am as well. Got back in touch with people I hadn't talked to since high school.

You know, you sure love drinking the GM koolaide, you defend them no matter what. They've already robbed us and you defend them. If they started murdering people, would you defend them as well? Is there no limit to your brand loyalty? :eyerole

Yep, that's what I was going to say. They basically lied about paying the money back. And for them to go on TV talking about how they paid the money back early was just plain disgusting.

So they cry and get our tax dollars and now they want to compensate their executives with millions of dollars? Tell me again why I should ever buy a GM product again? :eyerole

It was a battery on the way out. Also, the rubber "accordian" going from the body to the door, the wires that are taped together, the tape was coming off. Re-taped the wires with electrical tape and the problem has not come back.

So you're telling that if Mobil were to give oil so certain car lines use Mobil as factory fill, that makes it the best oil and that you should use it? You're missing the point here, Mobil's superior advertising has people believing that they're the best oil.

Sorry but I don't drink the whole "Mobil 1 is great because it's the factory fill in Corvette, Porsche, etc" kool aid because it's all marketing. That's like saying that Glocks are the greatest guns because so many police carry them. I'm sure that Mobil has a great deal setup with GM to...

Tell them to ditch that stock trans and throw a RPM Transmission in there.:L

Jim, Wish you would've posted this last week. I didn't do anything over the weekend and would've loved to make the drive up from Ft. Sill.

Did those come in Z06's or not?
