quick update the car survived the frame shop and came back straight and true. right now with a Cadillac tech getting all the electronics refreshed and reprogramed. friends at goodyear gave me a final judgment on tires and said stay stock as even a little extra width could cause wheelhouse...

thankyou thanks cubby

electronics okay didn't want to bring anything up but I can't seem to PM on this site anymore. Hopefully I can get a response without any drama. My body guy unplugged my ECM without disconnecting the battery and then to compound things he plugged in a used ECM that I had bought and the reversed...

sorry to see another in that shape Glad you are okay. The one I bought was pretty bad, could have bought a ready driver but could not pass up the challenge to put it back on the road. Look forward to seeing your new ride have owned a vets in the past 60, 62, 63 and enjoyed them all. Rocky

electronics Rod please PM me rocky

frame rail the left front seems to be okay, there is a slight torque in the place where the hood latch is attached(pushed in about an inch) but they are going to try to straighten it out. Some worry about it breaking since it is aluminum. The left side shock tower is bent a little and that is...

update finished the remodel of the house and went fullon the project last Friday. Today the r/f wheelhouse came off and the chassi has a little damage where the front clip turns to the rest of the chassi. The tow truck is coming this afternoon to take my baby to the frame shop. Was planning on...

so sorry I apologize for any disrespect. The only question was the max width on an 8.5inch rim. I will refrain from asking questions or asking for advice. If any one cares to see this project finished I will post pictures of the progress and refrain from any further comments. If your wish is to...

and the question was about tire width on an 8.5 inch rim so as not to crown the tread and put undue stress on the sidewall due to pulling in the tire to the rim width. You read to much into a simple question and provide much more information than asked for. It seems that most people on this site...

look phedre I am not stupid but if it makes you feel better to keep mouthing off then go ahead. I have had to replace all the modules in the car which requires a trip to the dealer for a reprogram and the new tires will be a factor in that. You have no Idea what I am doing here And I have...

tire decisions In looking at the data it seems that the extra width of the suggested tire would raise the front by 20mm and the rear by 22.5mm seems like a reasonable amount for the extra contact. I had not looked at the tire height before asking a question so thankyou phedre for correcting me...

goodyear answers my friends at goodyear have given me my answer..245/35 front and 265/30 rear. I have 2 porsches and 2 late model stock cars with which I run hard on the track. This car will be on the street and the compound will be chosen for a mix of durability and traction in normal driving...

Tires Not trying to get into a contest of words. It seems that your time on the highway much surpasses my track time and many years of tire usage. Tire rack gave me the same Pirelli sizes as I have now but since they were on the car when purchased they may not be stock(235/45...

geometry okay maybe a little talk about performance and tires. The wheel size may be the same from the factory but the tire size is different. This difference not only drops the nose into the wind but reduces the total tire weight. This brings to the equation a term called rotating weight...

compound is not the issue I understand all about compound as I have raced stock cars for many years. I will get to the compound later just wondered if any one knew what the max size IE 265/30-19 rear would be overextended for the stock rims. The stagger that is engineered into the cars...

tires okay getting ready to buy tires. what can I go to size wise for maximum width on stock 19 inch wheels. Rocky

keeps me busy I must have lost my mind but not my enthusiasm LOL:banghead:

update My BCM is good ..don't know how the car runs without it. Found out that what is hangin from the rf wheelhouse is part of ECM found a complete one for $300 so at least I can plug in the rest of the harness. Going to dig into the floorboard to see where the BCM module goes

electronics in right front fender Ok I got a new HP laptop ad my phone will not download pics to it so Will have to take the laptop to the car. There are a bunch of electronics tie wrapped to the wheelhouse where It meets the door. does anyone have clue as to the placement of the electronics...
