    Headlight Lenses Available

    Ok that type material is very brittle and does not have any uv protection so you will need to add a suitable uv coating such as ceracoat. I applaud your efforts and feel this would be an option for a broken or missing lens. Id like to see you show one installed compared to a factory light. On...

You might want to make video installing them. I sort of see what you tried to do but most people will be lost on installing them Im trying to get...

    Shocks XLR

    Thanks fir the information. Now if we can find a way to see if the shocks are actually responding to the voltage change. yours seems to be close to the middle of the range i would have thought a wider range but you said you are only moving it a bit. If any movement down lowers the voltage i...

    rack and pinion for our cars

    Checking the ohms i do no believe confirms its working. Also check to see if its grounded to the housing. I saw a toyota unit video where neg volts was applied plus positve , i think 5 max in that case the rack was in a jig with springs pushing on the tie rod towards the rack.the torque to turn...

    rack and pinion for our cars

    Id bet that no rebuilder that sells them for 400-600$ does anything but clean them up and put seals and boots. The one problem i see is that most list one rack for all cars. The 07-08 are not tge same as 04-06/07 middle year change. The gm part numbers so upgrades but that those two numbers do...

    Help! 2006 XLR with blown Head Gasket - Dealership will not repair

    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...

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    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.

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    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.

    Cadillac XLR Lower Radiator Core Support Skid Bar Plate

    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...

    VVT solenoid actuator oil leak UPDATE

    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...
