    Help! Tires

    I just installed a set of the a/s 3's replacing a set of MXM4's. The right rear was out of thread, the left rear had some left but not much, and the left front had a seperated radial. Both front tires had a lot of tread left but the rears were shot after 20,000 miles. I have about 500 miles on...

    Mild 2 Wild Exhaust

    Will these fit our console? These are for the C6 05 to 11 years from the same site as the mild to wild that Cubby listed. I'd like a bit more padding for me bony elbow.

    Top speed

    Has your electronic leash been removed/reprogrammed? :confused: On the way to eastern Oregon there are many bluffs that you can scan the road below and for miles with a pair of glasses to see if LEO is waiting for you. I've " tested" a couple of cars there, looks like another road trip this...

    service stabillatrak

    Glad they were able to find the cause of your problem. As Ive reported in the past all of the DIC messages that I received, well I found the problem! The dealer installed a recorder to the OBD II connection. When a message popped up I was to press the top of this recorder to capture the cause...

    Speaker replacement?

    I can't help you with your question or problem but I can say that our system is Bose and if they are like the Corvette's (like in my 88) you can't just replace the speaker with a different non-Bose speaker. Bose is like a proprietary system and all parts have to match. I had a buzz in the...

    Update on different DIC service messages

    Buki; I have an OBD II scanner from Harbor Fright and it will read the XLR's check engine codes but it will not read the XLR's CANDii propriatory codes, that's where the Tech II comes into the picture. cc; Thanks for the info on the manuals. Very helpful and all of this stuff is doing to make...

    Brake bleeding and fluid

    What I was refering to was when you tap a hole to thread it, you use a little cutting fluid in the tap then start turning the tap in the hole. You take a turn or two in the back off to allow the metal shavings to be removed from the new thread, then you turn a little more creating more new...

    Brake bleeding and fluid

    That's the same way of chasing threads with a tap. If you have some brake fluid to keep things wet that will help clean the junk out of the threads of the nut or a bolt.

    Update on different DIC service messages

    Phrede thanks for the info. I've purchased a few items that came from that exact town/city/area in China. The latest was an RC Helicopter. $18.00 vrs the same in a state side store for $68.00. BTW are there any markings on/in your T2 that Stella talked about? What ISN'T made in China these...

    Update on different DIC service messages

    What are the markings? There were only two dealerships that closed in the Portland area and I'm sure the T2's went with a tech for his/her future use. SOMETIMES you get what you pay for, other times you get the shaft and I don't mean swaybar shaft ;) Spoke to my wife, right now the winch...

    Update on different DIC service messages

    What company from that site? There are several selling the same thing at different prices. Some show 2 CD disks and others show up to 5 CDs. All are almost the same price after shipping costs. Some include shipping, others show a smaller price then add shipping. After getting the Tech 2 do you...

    Suspension lowering question.....

    Didn't mean to hijack your thread of questions but being new as you say instead of getting upset, just read on and MAYBE a future question might get answered. :patriot:

    HRE 543R: Testing clearances on 2007 XLR

    Here in OrEgun, 99% of the drivers on a 2 lane road, taking a left corner are ALWays on you sie of the road. Not only over the line but taking 1/2 of your left side of your lane. Makes the seat of your pants tighten up! I wish we could flash our hi beams when our lights are off like I can in my...

    Update on different DIC service messages

    Where do you buy the Tech 2 from? I have read of some buying from eBay and another from a site on the web. The eBay prices are 1000. to $2000 per unit. The web site was around $400 - $500. What is the difference? I'm stuck between an electric winch or the Tech 2 if they are both $500. Those...

    Suspension lowering question.....

    The non-run flat Mich. tires of the same oem size that came on this car when I bought it last July. I'm going to change to a Bridgestone brand when it's time for new tires. I like the grip and non noise of that brands tire. Personnel preference.
