This! You may as well bite the bullet and buy some good quality aftermarket to solve the problem.

It has also been observed that the clicking can be caused by more than neg. 2 degrees camber (for track) and, in some cases, by the A arm bushings. I have one friend that found the leaf spring was chaffing on the lower A arm. He found a 'witness' mark from the rub and gently smoothed it with a...

When I first got mine before tracking it I did put some SS mesh inside the wheel well. I simply used SS safety wire to wrap around the plastic OEM and fastened the mesh to it. It has been there through 6K and several track sessions with no problems. You will need some good metal shears to cut it...

Unfortunately, OSHA is about as useless as an organization can get, very reluctant to intervene in the workplace. Also, if you happen to be in a state with a recognized state government osha type agency, forget it. The threshold of conditions to effect an action from them is almost to the point...

I have done some tuning but the only really necessary change to not throw codes is raise the idle ignition advance. That should work. It has for me. I used the old Ed Wright programming for the LT4 Hot Cam and found I lost some HP but the dyno pull with his program was a couple of years later so...

Get a good detector; Leave your headlights DOWN until the last twilight minute. The greater return for the cop's radar is your headlight PARABOLIC antenae. (read Dave McClellan's book, 'Corvette from the inside out') While engineering the vette, they experimented with radiator angle to effect a...

Before you panic and give it away, list it EVERYWHERE possible in the next couple of days. Don't sacrifice it to the vulchers that are waiting with drooling lips. You have the color and the low miles for a premium price. Someone, Somewhere will give you the price you desire. Good Luck. Oh yeah...

Gary, I read the same article. Since I have a dry clutch in my K1200RS, I am going with straight automotive Mobil I in my bike, also. Anyone in the aviation industry knows that an AD (airworthiness directive) came out on some lycoming IO360 engines that requires the use of an additive to prevent...

For the small hairline scratch, use one of the watery liquid type roller tip pens from an office supply store. I used the pilot G-2 07 pen and it worked perfectly. Of course, I don't know the longevity of the fix as yet but it looks good for now.

Unbelievably, considering their rates in the past, I have now found State Farm takes care of all vehicles at a substantial discount. I used to think Progressive was the best in rates for bikes. It is not. State Farm beat them by a couple of hundred dollars! (the world has truly turned...

Bob, I currently have State Farm, also. However, a multi-car discount is a good thing to have if one has several drivers in the family. But, I am the only driver. I am the only one in my household. A mere 10-20% off of the regular price for 5 vehicles is still quite substantial. Obviously, if I...

Anyone found a company that gives a good discount for multiple vehicles? I have two pickups, two corvettes and a recently restored mercedes SL for which I am paying simply way too much insurance. I am the only driver. Why should I pay a token discount that really does not amount to much savings...

Actually, I fixed mine by the repacing the controller as suggested in tech tips on this forum. But, really, it may have just been the fact that after repositioning the hose manifold on the controller, whether using a new or same old controller, the seal was then intact and therefore functioned...

After 100K miles I am happy to report that I have only had to replace the waterpump, clutch bolt pivot and A/C controller. Not bad really, I did the work myself. I have, however, done a lot of other stuff simply for the sake of improvement. Biggy that I would look for is original flywheel and...

Over the years I have subscribed to them all. I now only get Magazine. The others, such as Vette and Fever, are so superficial in their coverage that if one were to find useful information I would probably recommend putting the tool box down and backing away! Actually, at times, I have been so...

Funny how folks come to the same conclusion. That is exactly what I did a few years back, put a short piece of hard rubber hose over the stem so I could tighten a nut with better access back away from down inside the manifold. It has been working great now for several years. (man, I hate I said...

It was my understanding that the wheels were made in Mexico. Did the supplier change this year? Perhaps the castings were made in mexico and finished in Indiana? I am confused....

I am in need of a scanning program for my LT4 and '03 Z06 since I currently just have the LT1 edit tuner for the LT4. Also, I'll need a tuning program for the Z06. Is there a package combination out there that will scan LT4 and Z06 plus flash the Z06? thanks for all suggestions.

Dynojet chassis dynos give higher readings than Mustang dynos since the measurement is taken differently. Which did you use? Secondly, the active handling could have very easily skewed the numbers. Thirdly, my numbers on a stock '03, using a Dynojet with only the intake changed to Honker while...

Tinting can be removed but you do need to find someone experienced and conscientious. This is something for which you must pay and is not a DIY project.
