  1. I agree, and it's not just women. I stopped to help a college age couple when I was in my early twenties, they had a flat and He couldn't get the lugs off. "They just keep spinning and don't come off?" I bent down, flipped the lug wrench over and popped off the hubcap with the fake lugs on it and changed the tire. Part of me felt bad for him for being so mechanically inept, but the other part of me wanted to give his girl my number, lol. ( hey, I was like 22!)
  2. Could need a water pump. I've seen some were the fins are dull and it just doesn't flow well. Prob low coolant or air locked though.
  3. I recommend getting on the ctsv forums and see who everyone is using for the best track times. There is usually a small guy/company doing that specific car for far less money. Example for the g8 being rick Crawford, porting intakes and heads, custom cams and tuning out of his garage, and killing the expensive names on the track. Good luck!
  4. Yes, if yours is equipped with a block/wheel on the shaft, with holes in it, that is made for turning the spring/shaft. Cables look right.
  5. You can do it. Let garage door down, install cable to door bottom, wrap top of cable loosely around pulley as necessary, turn spring shaft in necessary direction to attach cable end. I used a big pipe wrench, but for gods sake be careful, those springs pack some force.

    The new toy

    Awesome find, that things in great shape and with the correct wheels will be sweet.
  7. Don't give up on the g8 , there are lots out there. It has proven yo be s very functional toy for me. Huge trunk and back seat space.
  8. Okay, has anyone tried these balancing beads?? How about high performance or high speed? Interested........ Op, what about removing existing tires? Shaun
  9. The lower control arms are a known problem on these cars. Some have been lucky, some have replaced them 2-3 times. There will be an obvious clunk in the front end. If you need any factory parts, contact Greg at Pace Performance.
  10. As with most cars, I recommend checking out the forums, lots of good info. http://WWW.g8board.com http://WWW.grrrr8.net Feel free to shoot me a pm with any questions that I may be able go help with.
  11. Absolutely love mine. Unfortunately it is my dd as I am in between work trucks, but I have a set of winter tires that I put on the rear, and have no trouble. CHECK THE LCA'S BEFORE BUYING!
  12. Cheapest thing to do right away would be to buy a good size roll of decently thick plastic and staple it up. You can then put your metal right over it. This won't necessarily give you "R-value", but it will allow you to heat the workspace fairly comfortably. Aside from that, I'd buy the rolls of foil backed insulation, or fanfold, and staple it up.
  13. Umm, wow. Thanks, we'll have to check up on some of these. Yes, it is late in the season, but there are still lots of great non-vegie items. I like the cheeses, salsas, and jellies, Raspberry jalapeño is awesome.
  14. Does anyone have any favorites around town? We go to the one in Worthington, which is great, just thought I'd see if there were any other options around Columbus. Thanks

    Any painters?

    If that falls through, I'm using a guy that does great work, and prices are cheap. CW painting.
  16. Used to build houses for a living (real houses, not this cookie cutter crap) but I'm not currently carrying the ins etc, as I have a full time job. Gladly help you out.
  17. A 7.5" would be fine with my 255 winter tires right? I've never run a wheel so narrow.
  18. "Fantastamazing" F*#king awesome I want one
  19. Sorry, I had gotten a pm a bit before your post. If that sale falls through, silverhatch is first inline.
  20. $100, this took a bit of time to create.

    I need a gym

    If you don't mind downtown, and like a small gym feel with lots of equipment, check out Beyond Limits Training. I've been going for a year and love it. We have all the free weights you want, racks everywhere, machines to isolate any muscle groups, and lots of strong man equipment, which is fun. I've been to most of the franchises in town and just prefer the old school feel. 24/7 as well
  23. Great for leopard geckos. OBO
