For #1 - you do not need to keep your original head unit in the car - I do not and everything works fine... the wiring diagrams show that some of the connections (like steering wheel controls and class2 data) go through the old stock radio, but they are simply passed through - so the installer...

I had one and eventually removed it... the one I had mounted under the front fascia and I ended up scraping it on the ground everywhere - it was just too low to the ground.

Ride height is controlled by the ride height adjusters... the shocks do not have any influence on ride height. They are bolts and pads that are attached to the end of the leaf springs on each corner of the car. Often times they are damaged and/or completely broken off. You can buy any corvette...

I have tried everything to get them to stop squeaking, and I have given up... various kinds of silicone lube, teflon tape, grease, etc... it'll work for a few hundred miles and it comes back... it only happens in cold weither (sub 40 deg) so its not a regular issue, but when it does make noise...

This was the same experience I had with the Hotchkis bar... too stiff and the rear wanted to swing out, middle setting was perfect

My first 2006 XLR-V was bought off the lot the first month it was released... it ended up in the shop 3 times the first 6 weeks I owned it for various problems... then in the 4th month of ownership the top failed and it ended up in the shop for 3 months and it never worked right. It was bought...

This is (unfortunately) the most unproductive thread about headlights - ever. Sad - because I wish we had a source for replacement headlights - instead we ended up with grown adults bickering about dumb details instead of working towards forward progress. sigh.

All of those posts clearly outline how the traction control button works. There's nothing else to say thats not already there.

Performance Mode XLR V

I went through 2 optimas... and then switched to Odessey - the Odessey has been performing much better. I ended up putting on in my SUV as well after 3 optimas in that - also a much better experience.

Its been about 10 years since I did the work so I don't remember exactly... its entirely possible I did it the way you suggested - where I just unbolted it, but let it float there until I could get the entire manifold assembly out. My heat shields are not damaged.

I installed D3 headers on my V myself. On the ground, with jackstands, and only hand tools - with no prior experience. I found the driver side significantly easier than the passenger side - the AC lines and such made the passenger side much more challenging. I did not have to move the...

I have a set of race ramps... they weren't cheap, but I've liked how they're modular and since their so light weight I can put them on the top shelf in my garage. I have a set of the 67" XT race ramps - which have the removable portion - nice when changing the oil 67" XT Race Ramps - Race Ramps...

I used to have that set up... I will say that it did cause some occasional glitching in the car for me as well (like, no temp info on the radio, etc)... but I never had any engine issues. It might be worth removing for a few days to see if the problems go away.

Thats great! 👍 Would love to see some photos! 📸

I believe it will fit - with one exception. The tail end of it may be short if you install a C6 exhaust on an XLR... since the XLR has a protruding bumper, and the C6 doesn't - the tip will be tucked inside a bit and won't stick out like they should. To solve this problem you'll have to get...

** SOLD ** Complete intake kit as described in: Induction System Modification The only difference is that I opted for a little shorter of filters due to fitment issues (I actually had the longer ones, but didn't like how they fit, so I exchanged them for the shorter ones). The whole thing...

I'd do the LS swap... the northstar is such a pain in the ass of an engine to deal with...
