  1. This is from one of the CR track days... probably in 2006-2008 time frame... My car the the Talon in the background. I do not seem to have any picture of this car. Anyone happen to remember taking this photo and mind looking through your archives?
  2. IMHO It is cheap Insurance. I had a speed bleeder on my C5 when I replaced the clutch so I didn't do it, but it is a easy way to help keeping swapping in new fluid for old. As far a frequency It depends how much driving, and how dirty your current fluid is.
  3. Define? I think it looks great. One fix eye and a few areas look like they have a little orange peal if you look at the car at just the right angle. Otherwise I think the car looks badass!
  4. Went with the factory looks... http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f374/tindall2006/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1292_zpsp8epyxhd.jpg http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f374/tindall2006/Mobile%20Uploads/IMG_1291_zpspbo3oy97.jpg
  5. Because it is metallic? What is the worse that could happen? How else do you learn something new?
  6. Well.... Went out and looked at it this morning... Not sure if I will be able to make the lines line up, and the radiator support bracket is bent... The simple bumper tear and respray may be a bigger project then I think, and something I don't think I can pull off in my apartmentcomplex/garage. Going to think about it for a few hours though.
  7. I am actually in Texas now, and am probably going to be fixing the front bumper as it is ripped, along with the drivers side fender. I will probably respray them myself. I do have limited paint experience, but think I can make it look WAY better then it does now. It's a C5 with 190K miles so imo if it looks good from 5 feet away I will be happy. Always wanted to do some paint and body work and I think this is a good second project. My last one was painting my motorcycle.
  8. I was meaning the front end... I am not the best at making up idea's and color schemes so I figured I would ask. I am repainting my front bumper and one fender, and the idea to do a two toned job came up and in my mind it seemed ok, but had a iffy feeling about it. I also HATE the black in the fender vent too after seeing it. I do see my door molding being removed very soon though, that is sexy! This is why I have my GF match my clothes for me. I fail at matching lol. I see repainting it with the factory color now, unless someone throws out an idea I feel like I could accomplish myself.
  9. I have a c5 with some paint issues and planning to fix them. I am debating a two toned paint job VS the factory one coat. Thinking about doing black on the front to where the doors and front fenders meet. Can anyone Photoshop this scheme to see how it looks? Anyone have opinions? Added a few photo's for different angles Not sure witch would be easiest to change. http://bestcarmag.com/sites/default/files/87288982061_main_f.jpg http://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.corvetteforum.com-vbulletin/2000x1124/80-20160730_121604_ebba3f12b4be4926fbbdc24e5e94b639142e4485.jpg

    WWCR do

    So, I have a 2002 dodge cummins that I recently bought. Been doing some work to it to fix it up. Tried to pull the transmission and relapse the pump seal as it was leaking and found the torque converter stuck on. We managed to get it off but when we tried to reinstall it it was stuck back on. I ended up sending it to a transmission shop. Told the shop the issue and to look at it, and they called me back a few days later telling me it was welded on and the while transmission needed a rebuild. That being said I was kind of planning on getting a rebuild anyways as I rather only drop the transmission once. So they rebuild it. call me halfway through to tell me the flywheel and rear main seal need replaced as it was leaking. Not a big deal, even though I knew the rear main wasn't really leaking but figured I better go ahead so it wouldn't leak later on. They get the transmission in and call me again telling me the motor is knowing. I show up, listen and hear a rapid rattle sound. I didn't think it was knocking and knew the motor wasn't before. I am pretty stern in saying that but they insist it was the motor. They called a diesel specialist to come listen and he said the injection pump looked new and was probably out of time. They called me, said the motor is knocking, but we can send it to this other shop if you want. I said can I just come get it and they said sure... Showed up to get it and they were laughing at me kind of. I go out to the truck, start it up and hear the clacking more now that I am on the driver's side and it went away with a little bit of gas, I could only hear it at idle. I was not sure if it was something on the TC like the bolts hitting something, the new flex plate they installed, or something inside the transmission. Sounds more like transmission noise personally but who am I to know. Took it for a test drive and needless to say 5 miles away a big noise and transmission fluid is dumping from the front of the transmission, it is at this point pretty obvious that the transmission they installed is fucked up, and they tried to get me to spend more money on the wrong shit. I called them and told them that I think the noise was their transmission as it is puking transmission fluid out. They send me a tow truck immediately At this point they have it at their shop. Is this a good idea? I have a 3 year 75000 mile warranty. Should I worry about them trying to tamper with the evidence? Is this more neglect or an accident? Should I at least hit them up for a free oil change for my inconvenience? Sorry for the long rant... kind pissed, grammar nazies will have a field day with this.
  11. I would personally take being a p-51 pilot in ww2, over flying f-22's today!

    Dash Cam

    so basically in the past two months my vette has been hit in the parking lot, and my motorcycle was stolen. While moving is an option, this shit can literally happen anywhere. School, work, any apartment complex Ect/ Looking at dash cam setups... Seems most tech is for 2 channel cams front and back. My thing is if I am going to be running 2, why not 4 so I can also catch assholes who open their doors into my car (this happened in december) Anyone running a setup like this? Any advice on cammera's? I drive the car almost every day so battery drain is not a big deal. Though for my truck it may be as it might sit for a week or two at a time. I am thinking about also putting these in my truck to help overview my car at home.
  13. They were newly sprouted seedlings. I can try to get pics when I get home of them now but they basically wilted up and died. Stayed green though. this is my kit. http://www.amazon.com/General-Hydroponics-GH4120-WaterFarm-Complete/dp/B001ID8CMG/ref=sr_1_25?ie=UTF8&qid=1462908364&sr=8-25&keywords=general+hydroponic
  14. So I got a general hydroponics kit from amazon. Started some tomato seeds and transferred them over but they really didn't take. Did it transfer them too early maybe? What size do you take tomatos from soil to the hydroponic setup?
