    Help! Reset Oil Change

    reset oil change Simply scroll through until you have the display showing percentage oil life remaining. Press and hold the reset button on the DIC until it resets. You may have a "broken line " showing where there was a reading but once you exit and return it will show 100%. Good Luck!

    tpms sensors

    I have chrome caps on mine. The problem is not that they could ruin the sensor but in some cases ,because the cap and the stem tend to be disimilar metals , can tend to fuse together. The other problem is that people tend to overtighten them and break the stem. A dab of antiseize and easy on the...

    Stupid question.

    The other nice thing about having the build sheet is that you know exactly what is in your car that might not be apparent such as differential ratio etc. I bought my car from the origanal owner and it wasen't until I got the build sheet from the NCM that I found out that the car came from the...

He finally decided to put the touring system on so 15 of us went over to the Corsa tent(for support) and he left...

    Question: Cleaning dash with alcohol ?

    When I did mine I cleaned the surfaces with dishwashing liquid then after it was dry I went over with a Qtip and rubbing alcohol. I used some weatherstrip glue on the dashboard lettering figuring if I wanted to remove them in the future a little weatherstrip adhesive release should do it!

    I mist the engine compartment (cold) with Simple Green ,usually a 50/50 mix. let it sit about 10mins. then us a light mist from a garden hose or even a pump up garden sprayer. I would make sure to cover the alternator first. After the engine compartment dries I spray it with a WATERBOURNE...

    Hankook Non-runflat tires

    When I replaced the Goodyear EMT tires on the Corvette I had had enough. I put a set of Cooper Zeon A/S tires on and I love them. As for the Hankook-my son has a set on his Ferrari F360 and he has been very happy with them. Again, driving style, personal preferance all comes into play as well as...

    Time to look at new tires

Very happy with these tires as they handle well ,ride nice and they are quiet. My son replaced the tires on his Ferrari f360 this past fall. The car only had 7900mi but since...

    looking for slotted rotors

    I put ATE slotted rotors on my '98. They have a unique sort of eliptical slot instead of the usual intermitent cross hatch and they are platted so that the hat and the vanes won't rust. They work great and look great. I purchased both the set of 4 rotors and Satisfied Pro Ceramic pads from...

    C5 Service and repair in Connecticut

    Thanks and I agree that Paul is world class aside from the certification and he is a nice guy besides. I met up with him this past September at my club's show. I'm not sure where he is working now. Dworkin is history and I think he was at Maritime last but has since moved. I'd have him work on...

The Goodyear runflat tires were noisy and hard riding and I got cought in a sudden rainstorm one night and it was like an amusment park ride. These Cooper tires handle well, ride smooth and they are quiet. I...
