    Falken Tires

    I just got my Falken ZE512 tires in the shop today and I have to say Im impressed! They are VERY pretty on both the tread and the sidewall. I gotta get my SLOW wheel company to get me back my refinished rims to go try them out though! Anyone have or knows anyone with these tires? As far as...

    Weather strip install gone horribly wrong!!!

    Yep.. When installing repro stripping (most GM) you have to install the strip DRY get it to where you want by pulling and pushing then once your satisfied pull back the stripping in small portions using actual WEATHERSTRIP adhesive (yellow gooey stuff from 3M is what I use) then press. The...

    Headlight Knob Replacement

    I have had the rod out before when I was doing the wood grain dash thing.. All I did was pull. The end of the rod you'll see has a groove cut in it that a retainer clip slips into (In the switch). Its just a matter of wiggling and pulling.

    Great time to switch it over to distilled and good ol' green and to stop wondering about some crappy liquid wrecking thousands of dollars worth of parts.

    1984 corvette security issue

    I don't think that alarm stops the car from running.... I KNOW mine doesn't (perhaps the last owner disconnected the feature) but if I was betting I would say thats an aftermarket alarm on that car. First it should not be going off on its own. It'll only go off when the door is unlocked and...

    C4 Draining Battery

    Well it seems I would dig into the battery. Pull the neg lead off and bridge a test light between the pole and the cable. If it lights up major you've got a drain. (you can test the light by opening the door). Even better use a mutimeter to determine exact voltage, If that checks out your...

    R134A conversion question

    When I do the "full meal deal" conversion I like to pull everything apart throughly clean it out with a quick dry cleaner. Then I replace the drier. The sponges in there are nearly impossible to "flush" out and you really are better off replacing it. Then I yank the compressor and clean it...

    Analog dash on ebay

    Im looking at going with the analog option but Im going to go with a tighter fit than that. I think with 5" speedo and 5" tach on the ends with 4 small gauges in the middle. I think leaving the center dash control box open (closed with plastic) for some other gauges....like boost? Heh. I was...

    Dexcool

    Well I work on these Dexcool systems ALL day long 6 days a week and you know what GM can take that orange $%^ and do you know what with it. This is my opinion and anyone can take it or leave it but I will NEVER install this "product" in one of my cars. I get car in with less than 40'000...

    To Paint... Or Not To Paint??? Moldings.

    Mine is painted red as well. It's FINE you can do it however I hope you trust your body shop thats all it actually does take a bit of work especially for the first time. You'll have to sand it then paint but with the earlier C4 thin molding its hard to get into the groove up and down. Also...
