  1. They will not clear the Brembos on the SS. The SS comes with 20s but its the spoke clearance that is important because being a fixed caliper it has outboard pistons needing the additional room. This is why many wheels have the shape spokes that they do, or they have a thick mounting flange around the lug nut area to provide additional clearance. The steel wheels do not have this, although some spacers may enable them to clear I'm not certain of what is required to clear the rotor/caliper diameter.
  2. Been in love with the F1 since I was a teenager. http://images.classiccars.com/classifieds/249156_12163043_1994_Mclaren_F1.jpg Realistically I have 2 cars that I really love owning. The Camaro I always wanted, and the Miata that drives like something I always wanted. If I were to come into money I would be doing things with the cars I have, at least for awhile.
  3. On a truck with a low pressure fuel system, sure. A 2000 GMC is going to operate at 58 psi and using rubber is a bad idea. They make fuel line repair kits at NAPA, get a good idea of the size and if it's close to any connectors, and get the right parts.
  4. Nice to see a good person doing good things, get a few breaks. Congrats.
  5. Its Tina. Still can't type well, damn. I vote ban.
  6. For general car waxing and polishing I have a decent random orbital. Nothing special but it makes waxing much easier. If you are trying to restore paint or remove bigger imperfections then you'll want a full on buffer, and while I've considered it my cars just don't need that kind of attention. We have a Dewalt at work that I've messed with a few times, and it works fine. I think when you get these kind of tools though, a decent tool and a really good user is all you need.
  7. Not really as much car cruise in as we wanted but had a good time hanging out with friends.
  8. Okay I deleted your threads, hope that s what you wanted.
  9. Oh well if it rains I'll just bring a DD and enjoy some beer and steak.
  10. Had good experience using Randy's machine shop in Whitehall. Of course it doesn't sound like you have a very difficult job most machine shops should be able to handle.
  11. Seen it happen plenty of times, usually its a limp wristed tech. Working at Dave Gill you could go into history when one came back for that reason and it was always the same person. They are supposed to be tight, and on a lot of cars they are hard to get a good grip on and that's why I have a filter cap wrench to give it that extra half turn when I can't get a good grip. I'm not saying to take a wrench to every one and crank the fucker down, but they need to be properly tight. The shop you took it to likely has some idiot unexperienced lube tech making $8 an hour and doesn't try very hard. This is precisly what Dave Gill uses as most dealerships, so be prepared to deal with this type shit. Guys making good money get the good jobs that they are qualified for, and low rent inexperienced guys end up doing your oil change, shitty reality of most shops.
  12. Never saw a lot of issues with the Chevys, injectors on the older ones, a transmission that got fragile when the power is turned up, but overall a great truck.
  13. I'm sure it's close, but the trucks are pretty different so it won't fit well. I thought about the whole thing but I have a 95 and it won't work well.
  14. I should be out, hopefully decent weather so I can drive the Camaro.
  15. You of all people should know to give some fucking information on the car. Assuming its a Honda, no I can't.
  16. A starlighted headliner? Seriously? Does it change to the current constellation you're driving under per the GPS or something? Seems out of place on a Rolls Royce.
  17. Okay. Hello there troll, come out from under your bridge? There are some fellow Mazdaspeed owners around here, as well as autocrossers so I'm glad you've decided to participate.
