Tunnel bolts. I had my Corsa kit welded on by a muffler shop so no bolts there. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nope...no gaskets. But you will absolutely want to ensure that the torque specifications are observed on those bolts. I took my V in about a month after I had my ceramic tunnel plate installed and had them retorque the bolts and three of them had already fallen off. But it's a very good mod...

There is a "Performance Mode" that changes the shift algorithm in the transaxle and stiffens the MR shocks. Outside of that the only "Launch Control" is your right foot! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Welcome Dr. Dan! There are a couple of SFV locals that are in this club with us. I live up in Granada Hills but I'm in the North Hollywood /Studio City all the time. I have an '06 Series also Black/Black. I don't know about investment potential, but I have never enjoyed driving a car more...

Interesting collection. I see you have a fondness for Japanese cars. The XLR is a bit of a departure from the Japanese design ethos, but I've have no regrets about purchasing my V. You will want to factor in some of the potential "cons" in owing a car produced in such low volume, like parts...

Your changer is toast. It was the first thing I had to replace on my car. My warranty picked it up at the dealer for $1100 as I recall. But I'm sure it can be done for much cheaper than that by picking up the part on eBay and having a local shop do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

WOW... that almost looks like the result of either a thermal or chemical reaction. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't realize you had a "V". Yeah, they can be scarce. I'd contact some of the large outfits like LA Wheel and Tire here in Chatsworth CA and see if they have a single or even a double. I got my wheels from chrome exchange outfit in Santa Ana CA. I'll dig through my receipts file and see...

Lots of them on eBay. I picked up a 5th wheel from eBay so I'll always have a spare in my garage. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, their Platinum Product covered everything but brakes and battery. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sal- I bought the car from a Lexus Dealer owned by the same people who own the Caddy dealer which sold my car to the original owner. They offered me a GM warranty but they didn't have a 4/50 comprehensive policy with a $0 deductible. So I opted for the Platinum warranty from Lexus (Toyota Motor...

Thank goodness the original owner of my V had the good sense to never have it installed in the first place! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

As I've said elsewhere on this forum, a good warranty on this car is worth every penny. I got all 4 of my shocks replaced (the rears are harder to source) by my local mechanic at a cost of $5500 of which I paid $0. Since I acquired the car, I've had more than $12k worth of warranty work done and...

Congratulations to you both. That's an amazing gift to give someone. Get yourself a good aftermarket warranty to go with it as it will prove to be a big gift to you in the long run! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes that's what I thought. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just to clarify, are we talking about exhaust or intake manifolds? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, welcome! Lots of really great information here contributed by a very dedicated group of XLR enthusiasts . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, that could very well be your problem. The octane deficiency would certainly create conditions that would set off the CEL. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
