The subject of balancing scrubs came up many (many) years ago when I was transitioning to slicks. Someone said just balance the wheels, then toss the rubber on. I have been doing that for about 16...

I just balance the wheels, then mark and tape the weights. I never balance the tire/wheel assembly. This has been working great on a stiffly sprung C5Z, all delrin bushings, never had a detectable...

AP - You can see the AP logo at about 9:30 in the picture. This is the same part GM uses to the best of my knowledge. You will see the same logo on the top of your Master Cylinder Reservoir Cap.

$35/set. In my humble opinion, balancing tires that have tire snots all over them is a waste of money. I balance the wheels, the just mount the used rubber. Been doing that for 10+ years, never...

1/8 MPT Oil Temp Sensor Needed

I'm doing a Dry Sump and need to get a Oil Temp Sensor, with a 1/8 MPT thread, that is electronically compatible with the C5. Any suggestions?

Car is a 2002 C5Z, if that matters.

Thanks for the info on the Nurbergrings. I mis-typed on my C6Z wheels, they are actually "just" C6 wheels, 18x9.5, +57 (I believe). With the 1/4" spacer they clear, very tight. I have no issue...

Glad to hear you are all good, and still quick. C5Z is still "in-progress" should be done in about a month. Been working more on a strategy to exit the Peoples Republic of New York.
