The 'vettes ranged anywhere from '53 to present.Most of them didn't have any form of theft deterrent(the newer ones usually didn't get left outside either.) I failed to mention it happened at ~1 in the afternoon,on the main road,in a very busy area,and my car was locked,my keys were in my...

Had no problems w/the rears.The front are a different story,all 4 LCA bolts were seized to the sleeves.Nothing a sawzall and a pile of blades couldn't solve(I swear those bolts are worse than cutting through stainless steel) Now I am currently having my ass kicked trying to remove the metal...

I would be highly interested to hear how he's gonna pull 400 horse out of an NA 7m,that is pretty much unheard of power for that motor,(I love my na,but even 300hp is supposed to be hard to pull off)

I really like these rims at tire rack.The brand is Breyton,wheel model is the magic racing.They are BMW exclusive wheels,they only list them for BMW models.By any chance does anybody know a model of bimmer that runs the same bolt pattern and similar offset to the mk3's?Want 18's by the way.

I was working at a shop that specialized in Corvettes,yet my all stock na 86.5 was stolen while 12 vettes w/keys in the ignition were left untouched, including the callaway twin turbo that was right next to my car.If they are experienced thieves and want your car that bad,there is not much that...

That convertible coupe is bad-ass,and clean to boot.Damn I miss my MK2's

When I first got my mk3 the intake gaskets needed replaced.I end up saying fuck it and replace all coolant and vac lines,scrub the engine bay clean,and have the injectors cleaned & balanced while I'm at it.Get the car back together and it's missing a little,so I leave it idling and pull plug...

Wasn't knockin' on your car any.Was just giving a hard time about the STB argument that was going on in this thread.Next time I will add the smiley face that says "sarcasm" if it makes you feel better.:sarcasm:Never had a spare tire and cover w/carpet that weighed any where near 200 lbs...

Why bother with handling,you have 800 lbs. of stereo equipment in your hatch.

Yeah 2008 blows. Good friend died of kidney cancer,two weeks later another good friend found out she had breast cancer. My baby's momma ate a whole bottle of zanax bars in an attempt to kill herself. Paint shop I worked at for better part of ten years closed it's doors,along w/the rest of the...

What pads do you run w/yours?(porterfeilds?)I have powerstop pads on the rear that stop great,and are rotor friendly.I think Axxis pads up front,been so long I forget,but they started to groove my rotors ever so slightly.The discs honed smooth,but I want to try different pads.

My dog smells like Fritos.

Have a lot of miles on powerstops in my mk3.I have been told you can't turn drilled rotors though because the holes are chamfered and prone to cracking if you take that away,not sure if that is true.I bought a hone for disc brakes and have them honed on a brake lathe when I change pads,have...

*The clear IS the protective coating. *First coat you don't really dry,just spray it lightly.You don't want to get your base-coat "shiny" wet,just wet enough to lay flat.Maybe 3x,maybe7x,I recommend to go until you THINK it's covered,then apply one more coat. *The flake is actually dry,I...

It's not all chain store rotors,it's just that it is a common occurrence.

Gotcha,they are only worth the cost if it's something you do often.Is the car in your sig the one w/the metalflake?If so,can you post some closer pics that show the flake a little more please?

+1, $ well spent

Old school trick is to drop a couple of CLEAN nuts or bolts in your cup and and shake it frequently,kinda ghetto,but it works well.The agitating guns kick ass,but not really worth it for one-time use.

I should clarify on my comment about the single stage,it does work well w/certain colors,like your charcoal,because the paint and flake are like colors.But the OP stated white w/blue flake,which doesn't work as well because the white tends to drown the color of the flake.The paint on yours looks...
