What do you guys reccomend for a decent reliable portable air compressor for use on our c5's in the event of a flat? I have a cheap one currently, but think there are better ones out there. As always, thanks in advance.:beer Ken

My recently acquired 00 coupe came with toyo Proxes T1-S non run flat tires on them,that the original owner put on at 37K to replace the oem goodyear runflats. the car now has 45k on it and the toyos still have a lot of tread, and still look like new,and the ride and noise level is very good...

Hi all, Even though the owners manual does not call for it,I am going to change the gearbox tranny fluid in my 2000 with 45k on the odometer. I just recently bought the car from the original owner,and he did not change the fluid since new. Oil regularly,but not the tranny fluid. Should i...

Anyone have a cure for rear leaf spring squeak or creak? My 81 rear springs sqeak some when going over a dip etc. The leafs look like new and the spacers or liners look good as well,and there is no suspension sag or leaf damage. I did replace the rear leaf bushings last year also. Tried...

Hi all, I just finished replacing the center console bezel in my my 81 to replace the aftermarket clarion stereo with a "new" 81 am fm stereo delco unit that i lucked out on finding at Carlisle last month. Stereo looks and works great,but inadvertantly when installing the new bezel (PIA)...

I know,it isnt officially Spring yet,especially here in the Northeast,but we recently had a deluge of heavy rain (more coming tonight and Saturday) which washed any salt residue of the main roads,and the snow is basically gone,for the time being. I got out of work early today,and took the...

Thanks to all the help from everyone on the forum reguarding my earlier post dealing with the hard clutch issue. It is much better now. What I did, to remedy this was put in a new return spring. (original one was not too good) and 2 new anti-rattle springs,lubed everything up,and pulled...

Is it normal for our 81's with the 4 speed to have a little hard clutch pedal? Maybe Im being paronoid (not the first time) but when im driving my 81 especially in stop light situations i can feel the clutch pedal pressure in my left foot,especially if i depress the clutch at a long red...

I dont believe this,I just picked up my 81 this afternoon after work after having the carpets and a few other interior parts done over,and now the interior is as new if not better,when on the way home,instead of going the back way due to rush hour traffic in that area, I took the Interstate...

Greetings all, and i hope all of you had or are having a good and healthy Easter Holiday. Here in Ct we,like a good part of the country are experincing,much colder then normal temps. (The high here today was only 38, the normal for this date is about 57). After a change of dinner plans with...

Bud, in his infinate wisdom,opened a can of worms for me on Gerrys recent post,bringing up the topic of the seemingly ridiculous charcoal filter that is glued to the air cleaner housing,on our 81's and that sits right behind the air cleaner. That thing has been there all the time,and i never...
