Re: I know it's posted somewhere, but .. (subman)

There are many drilled/slotted rotors that will fit stock calipers. However, for a daily driver (unless you race/autocross) these are probably not needed. If your normal rotors are within specs,...

Re: 2+ Years and counting (90EXPVette)

Re: infinity g35 (rainsux89)

Sounds a bit homosexual in nature - I don't think this is a phrase I'll add to my repertoire.

Re: Gasket and the thermostat (ittlfly)

If you buy a new thermostat it should come with a gasket; if not, you can purchase one from any auto parts store. I used the RTV/gasket combo to ensure a good seal.

Re: Paging L98 punk, 85 underhood photos (L98 punk)

L98, I've read your previous posts (earlier thread). Correct me if I'm wrong, but the problem is the hood supports. My '88 has the smaller piston type supports...I'm wondering if this insulator...

Re: Make your wheel wells look better than new! (Mr Mojo)

I might consider putting this bed liner all over my car...protect paint from rock chips, road grime, etc. It'll probably look horrible, but I'll know that underneath it's a beauty!

Re: Make your wheel wells look better than new! (djpearn)

Where can you buy the truck bedliner "stuff"? I wonder if Autozone etc. sells it. That might be a good idea...I'm already half-way done with the undercoating paint. I'll post some pictures when I...

Re: My Excuse for Excess (Red 90 L98 Coupe)

Red 90,
It sounds like you have an aesthetically pleasing engine compartment (especially your suspension) :eek:
You put a lot of work into the control arms, etc. Do you have any photo's?
