    I'm getting hooked on Auto-x...

    I dis-agree, I've been autocrossing for 15 years and I can quit anytime I want! :thumb You may want to look into some NCCC autocrossing, I'm not sure where you are located, but then you are running against nothing but Vettes. And you can learn a whole lot from some of the other drivers, such as...

    Martin wins 7th pole, has Earnhardt Jr. alongside

    Not bad for an old guy! It would be nice to see Jr. in victory lane before the end of the year. Just to get some of the critics off his back. :thumb

    Third wheel bearing in 4 years

    The rears are a "pain" but not that hard :ohnoes you just need patience, a few 3/8" socket universal joints, or better yet, a "wobbler" extension for 3/8" sockets. Not sure what they are really called, but it allows a small angle of swiviel action. There are 3 torx head bolts to take out, and...

    Wheel Bearings I have no idea.........I have a 96 with only 28,000 miles and have replaced the rears once, and both fronts twice. I do autocross the car, so that is my explanation for mine anyway. You cannot service the units, just replace em' BTW: Rears are a real P.I.T.A. for me. damn torx...

    Telcel-Motorola Mexico 200 - Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!

    Montoya passed 18 cars to get to Pruitt without touching any of them, the incident with Pruitt was just a little too aggressive of driving, he should have waited. He had 8 more laps to go, and as it turned out, there would have been about 4 "re-starts" during that time period. If Tony...

    Dietsch scores first ever ASA Late Model Series win at I-70 Speedway

    I-70 Speedway in Odessa, MO. Tom, I-70 Speedway is a very tough track, I've been there many times back when the NASCAR Craftsmen Truck Series used to run there. It's a high banked "bull-ring" kind of like Bristol Motor Speedway, only nobody parks in the infield so you can see the entire...

    1996 Z51 package, Stabilizer bar question??

    It may have a crush gasket on an 86, later models used tapered seat type, if it's a gasket type, torque may be differnt. Do you have the "aluminum heads" or cast iron?

    C4 spark plug replacement help.
