    WTB: Pac Aoem-vet1

    Well it didn't take too many long trips in the C5 for Susan to ask me to upgrade the stereo on a tight budget. So I've picked up a used amp, sub, cabinet, and wires. Now I've gotta get an RCA line level from the stock head unit and this seems to be my only choice. Anyone have a Pac Aoem-vet1...

    C5 wheel and tire info search....

    yes, going to pull one of em later today and look for a marked size. THEN I will start my search for new rear wheels. I know what you mean re: sidwall height and ride quality. These Yoko tires are probably my lowest cost tires, but are a bit noisy and a 30% sidewall does not protect the wheels...

    Rims scratched by old weights

    agreed - they come from the factory hammered on. (guess it was a time saving issue in production) Check your local yellow pages for Wheelmasters. They are a mobile wheel repair shop. We have one locally here and they charged me 100$ a wheel to return my HRE wheels to new condition. (of course...

    changing the auto trans fluid

    Gerald helped me with our 96 a couple years ago. only bit of advice, when pan is dropped and you are replacing the filter, sometimes the ring/spacer thingy gets stuck up in there. Some shops will just shove the new filter in on top of it - we worked for 2 days to get mine out - haha...

    anyone have problems with new tires and the pressure sensors?

    yes, might be the only thing I let a Dealership do. MIGHT It's nearly time for me to replace my rear tires and I have a set of sensors that need installing.. might take it all up there and see if they have time for me. Otherwise, I need to go to another part of the south for service. Area...

    Tire Pressure Sensors and Custom Wheels

    The original owner of this car did not install the pressure sensors and I am tired of hitting RESET each time I crank her up. So I purchased a set of sensors to install and am now getting word that some folks had no problem with the fit and others had to epoxy or use a band to attach the sensors.

    Tire Pressure Sensors and Custom Wheels

    Just ordered a set of early C5 TPsensors and got word today that there might be an issue with installing them on my HRE 547 wheels. (20" rears, 19" fronts) Any truth to this? With the madness and long lines due to Hurricane Katrina around here I'd hate to get the car up on the lift, remove...

    Caliper Paint??

    for what its worth, I used Bright Aqua Metallic body paint (touchup) from Wal Mart on Susan's C4 (I wanted the calipers to match the body) and there has been no problems in the 2 years it's been on there.

    R U Considering a K&N air filter?

    I know what you are saying. (it was the AC Delco paper filter) And filter alone does not make my car go faster.. but when I hit the gas, it goes from 45-95 twice as quickly as it did with the paper filter. High RPM response is like night and day and thats the only way I can explain it. :)
