What did you do with the tired v engine?

Im working on one to mount the radio up higher inplace of the vents and move the vents down under the radio. Seems evety new car i drive is set up that way and i like the screen higher so i dont look down as much. Give me your opinion.. What kind of trunk button did you use?

Not tham im aware of. If its wet pretty much gone. If it works partially but stops mid cycle they can bevrepaired. There is a guy that supposedly is working on them but i have no hope. He wants to change the whole system to different switched replace the potentiometer s . i dont know exactly...

If one failed you really need to replace both. It may hold the trunk open but its not assisting the pump to lift the trunk. Extra effort causes the pump to work harder and fail. Thats a 1000$ vs 15$ for a strut.

Yes . a little micro torch. Cheap at harbor freight. Without some heat you are correct they will snap right off

All i use is a thin long screwdriver you just slip it behind the bottom clip and twist and the ball end pops right off. I do so many i bent the tip on one screwdiver to make it even simpler. you have to heat to keep from breaking it. Glad you got it figured out. Its easier for me to pop off the...

Good job

Never seen one wear . either the pin breaks right at the end of the teeth or the clip in the door breaks and falls out. They take a ton of force to pull off the car but they will go back on with just the lightest of pressure almost falling back in place

You dont need to. if its still in the door Its reusable. If its broken it usually falls out. you Can just use a pick to release the two tabs holding it in

Theres nothing unique unless someone changed it. They have used the same clips since 96. Theres a female part that goes in the door and the stud you show goes in the door panel. When you pull the panel off it leaves half in the door you just push the part you show into the female receiver. Thats...

Most parts stores have it in a dorman quick pack fits millions of gm cars. Dorman 484316 has male and female parts of the clip

Thats a cts fob which works fine on the xlr . does not have remote start

You asked if there was interest in buying headers if you had extras made. I just told you the facts n what to expect. There have been about 20 people over the years going to do the same thing. Its never happened. Just being totally honest on the fact a lot of people would buy them if they were...

Its realative. Theres not that much to be gained unless You follow up with injectors new fuel pumps, supercharger porting. Overdrive pulley and someone that can tune it. The headers are just going to be noisey plus more heat where you already have too much . here we have to deal with keeping the...
