I used to believe something similar; I had thought 10 years. Hard to say what is the "truth" when you're considering piles of law and regulation that are always changing, but based on the sources I...

You running the AC? My car cooks off a ton of water every time I park it. It's all condensation.

Go gatorback and never look back. It is the only way I have found to get this car to quiet down. Rockauto has them cheap sometimes.

Long-tubes or shorty headers? I believe all LTs come with the mid-pipe, stock just doesn't fit. It's confusing, I know, the first time I saw "headers" I almost felt mislead.

Do you use oil when drag racing?

Just wondering if I am alone in this or if it's normal. No catch-can or the like equipped, just stock PCV.

Engine has no other noticeable problems. In normal use, it doesn't seem to consume oil,...

C5 Sport seats in cloth

Got a 2000 MM6 with sport seats. I currently have them in slip-on covers as the leather has holes in it. I plan to pull these out and rebuild them.

Now, a sport seat rebuild is straightforward....

Hi all,

Just got done a winter (and spring I guess) project. I have a 2000 Coupe M6, 103,000 mi, which already had ARH LTs and Vararam, and was running good. Now it's got 2002 Z06 Heads + Cam +...

Thanks! Is it safe to move to TDC to do this or should I try to get the brush down in there. Could trim the handle. I think a couple are near BDC.
