My best friend is working on a 56 Continental and needs me to come help him. Hes been thru 3-4 pot belly carbs and still cannot get it running.looking at prices and parts thats a tougher car to maintain than the xlr. The v is the one to have . enjoy and drive it

Check out the video of the wizard. He is a you tube mechanic. 50% of his drama is total crap. He makes his money off you tube so he has to come up with content. No profesdional mechanic gives him any respect.he bought aa xlr his dream car and wants to gives it a bullit proof engine. Well he...

I dont use anyone in particular. There are some good tire visualization sites so you can add diffetent sizes and see where they grow and compare with whats on the car. Its going to depend on the offset xlr is unique. I run some bmw wheels on mine from time to time.

Haha. Not a factory color for sure . im not hating the color but not the two tone with that interior

Look you need to do research on your own. Gm updated the engines for the xlr and sts. the engine was redesigned internalky fir the xlr. Parts do not interchange with the earlier northstar. They do not have a head gasket problem. That was in the northstars from the 90's. If some one is telling...

I skip the 19 and go to 20. I can find nice wheels and tires for less that 19 inch tires cost.i run 245/35 but 255 would fit

Engines are super cheap 1000-1500 will get you a good low mileage one.theres 50 for sale Find a decent regular repair shop and they can swap out. You dont want to go trying to fix yours. Id say the block is fine. You would need to replace the bolts which have to be replaced anytime the head is...

Sounds good. Yeah the removal of the center cap was ok when you could get delco parts as the cap could be removed and a little sealer put on it to replace. i believe based on what you said you should be good to go.

If you are talking about the cup in the center. It spins .you can carefully pull it out and make sure it snaps back in.You also only have 1/2 the accuator removed. Put the screws back in and peel off that last cover. They you will need to clean the head very good before putting on sealant.

Good to know on the nut certs. That saves time and money by them being installed

Good job. I do suggest you support the drivers side of the radiator. Without support all tgat is holding it up is pressure from twisting the two solid ac lines. They can crack . the cost to replace and recharge the ac will be more than a few minutes insurance to support it. Did this one come...

Loosen the bolts but leave them in when you try to break it loose from the head. Gm used some really strong stuff. If you pry it loose without the bolts in you can break the vvt valve. It will snap right off. Now if you want to do it correctly .get you some long bolts the same size as the little...

The 2004 fan with the control built in the motor is a one year only and very difgicukt to find. Id look for a aftemarket corvette and just wire it in to a thermostate sending unit. You can put the 05-09 cooling fan on the car but you have to bypass the factory system

Let us know what you find. By the time it leaks out where the wire enters the housing it means it has leaked internnally into the magnetic assist and now leaking out. Its not supposed to have any fluid inside the electronics. Ive wanted to take one apart but having been told how jt works i know...

The hard steering is why they cannot rebuild them. At low speeds the powersteering pump works as it shoukd. At higher speeds the powersteering pump is bypassed so its not doing anything at higher speeds the the rack actually requures resistance and uses less power steering assist. Its varaible...

There are two problems on the gas. Both going to be expensive in labor. The pump themselves will get a crack on the fitting at the very top of the unit. The tans did have a crack problem but mostly in 04-05 . either requure pulling tge tank. About 2500 at a dealer. You dont have to drop the rear...

Theres several outfits on ebay claiming to rebuild the xlr. The corvette is not the same. Problem with rebuild is finding someone who does not just cean them, put seals in and call it done. Theres a guy in sc that gas rebuilt the xlr. He ssys the electronics in it get a leak that burns them out...

You do not need to remove the radiator. Just putva board across the top . not on the fenders but on the inner fender. A couple of zipnies off the hose will hold it fine. Do not use the the support that is bolted together. They are junk. They inner tubes that bolt it together plusvthe bolts will...

The one piece is the only one to buy. They chop up one so its cheaper to ship but it is not near as goodv as the one piece.

Well first off the dealer could not get new remotes. they have been all gone for two years or so.Used are 400-600$ on ebay. However you can buy the later style square ones with the bumper key inside for 100$ or so. much better fob.They are for 2006/7-2013 vette or xkr depending on wbere you get...
