Curious. On closer inspection, the car that crashes through the fence has the right bodywork, but the wrong brakes. It also ends up with the mirror flipped up.

House Grand Sport

Not sure about that. It does look a bit flat, but if you look on the drivers side, there`s a vent on the rear fender about where it should be.

Hard to see whether it has flares or not, but the...

Does anyone know if you can add the paddle assemblies from an A6 wheel to an M6 wheel? I assume that there's a different clock spring and wiring harness for the A6 for the extra wiring.

Are the systems available without the tips?

Personally, I think the tips are waaay too big, and look ridiculous - even the 115 mm versions. There is no way that I would ever consider putting them on my car. I would rather go to the hassle of...

I've been so busy, I forgot to go and look for them. The regular ones are still working, so I haven't been getting the daily 'fast-flash' reminder that I'm an idiot. I looked into some LED ones, but...

Some ass backed into me and broke the original bulb, but the housing was intact, so I just replaced it. In about 2 months, it was burnt out, the base of it was cooked, and the bulb was black.

You got that right. I broke two of them in my bone stock '96 burb. What total crap those things are. Of course it only happens 5000 km past warranty - and it takes out the whole rear end when it...

Theoretically, you're correct. But every time I've changed the rears on my C5 (more times than my wallet cares to remember), the right is always worn slightly more than the left. Not a whole bunch,...

Front Turn Signal Bulbs Burning Out Too Fast?

If you find that you're replacing your front turn signal bulbs way before they should go, I discovered this little know fact (at lease little known to me).

To avoid possible AHS/TCS issues, try to keep the rears approx 2-3% larger diameter than the fronts. Some cars will tolerate same sizes f&r, some won't. You can run 275-35-18s front & 285-40-18 or...

Engine torque will unload the right rear, allowing it to spin a bit more than the left, as a posi still allows some slip. If it's a drastic difference, your posi might be going away. If it's minor,...

C5 TPMS Sensors on C6 Z06 Wheels

Can you mount '03 C5 TPMS sensors on C6 Z06 wheels (in the stock location)? There's more space between the rubber grommet and the body of the sensor on the C6 sensor. Did they do this for a reason,...

OK I suppose it's all in how you read it. If the front tires were the same size as the rears, then they would be ratio-wise 1.00:1 , or 100% (not 100% larger). If they were what I'm referring to as...
