Ok, just throwing out ideas here. On my '96, there are small flaps cut in the underside of the bumper, about 3 inches square. they are basically cut on three sides, with the uncut side toward the front of the car. I've not actually taken them down to look, but they say they are for changing...

I installed the Hurst shifter into my '96. I did drop the exhaust system, but only because I had another issue I had to deal with. With small hands and the right tools, you could do it without dropping the exhaust. You definately do not have to drop the trans. When I bought the car, with...

Does anybody else raise the car from the side, rather than front/rear? I saw a post on one of the Grand Sport web sites (forget which one right now) which demonstrated how to place the jack on the side of the car and raise the whole side. I've been doing it that way for a year now, with no...

I just found this post, and it's like re-living a nightmare for me! I just had new Goodyear GS D3s mounted, and they broke the right-front sensor. I warned them repeatedly about the sensors, and the guy says "Yeah, I'll put my best guy on it". Sure enough, first wheel on the machine, he...

BamaJohn, I believe that it should be 16 pounds. Go down to Pep Boys and check their book. Shouldn't be more than 5 or 6 bucks. Barry

Rick, A change in tire diameter will change your overall drive ratio, throwing off your speedo reading. Here's what Tire Rack's web site says about your choices: 285/40 17 (the stock tire) diameter is 26.1 inches 275/40 18 diameter is 26.8 inches 275/35 18 diameter is 25.5 Hopefully the math...

Did you replace the radiator cap when you changed out the coolant? I've had a bad cap give me the exact same problem. Barry

Drive it! I also drive mine every day, rain or shine. It already had 96K on the clock when I bought it nearly a year ago, it's up to 104K now! Since it already has some miles on it, and as long as you maintain it, the value isn't going to drop much from what it is now. Life's too short to...

Welcome! Shanghai, Two things, first check under the passenger-side injector cover in the engine compartment for a small vacuum switch. As I recall, it has three vacuum pipes connected to it. That thing is probably disintegrated from the heat under the cover. Second place to check is the...

Ok, something I've wondered about when considering a coil-over conversion- Is the shock mount in the front strong enough to carry the load? Is there some sort of reinforcing member included with the kits? It seems as though the shock mount would flex when asked to carry the weight of the...

Dean, I used 89 octane for about three tanks-full. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I felt a slight bog or hesitation when accelerating away from a stop with anything less than 3/4 throttle. I switched back to 91 (best I can get) and it went away. I'll stick with the manufacture's...

OK, deep cleansing breath.... Whew! Thanks Ken, I feel better about the situation now. I had planned to drop the exhaust system anyway in a couple of weeks, to install a Hurst short-shift kit. I guess I’ll just tip the pipes upside down and see how much junk falls out! I was reading a...

Update... I believe that the driver's side cat has blown out. I remember hearing a fairly loud rattling sound coming from either under the hood, or under the car, while I was out driving. By the time I could find a place to park and raise the hood, it was no longer rattling, and I never heard...

All, I was under the car this weekend, and noticed that the cats cooled at drastically different rates. I had just come back from a drive, and both cats were too hot to touch when I first put the car up on stands. About two hours later though, the passenger side cat was still warm, but the...

This is not very helpful, but gawd, that's the worst web site I've ever been too!

Green, If you do a search for "exhaust" in the C-4 Mods forum, you'll find many discussions on this topic, some with links to the sound clips you're looking for. Happy hunting!

I really dig that car! I used to work near Guldstrand's shop when he was in Culver City, and actually saw that car driving around the neighborhood one day. I'm amazed they were able to pack that Vortech supercharger into the engine bay. :o

The new Sparco driving suit!

I don't recall seeing any differences in horsepower ratings from state to state when these cars were new, so I would guess that the OBDII computers were put into every car.
