** 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...

After learning that I needed all new keys and locks in addition to the new '08 remote, I eventually found a set on ebay and put them away for a project day... Tonight I tried to program the '08 fob in my '06 XLR-V and I'm happy to say that it works fine. Now I just have to replace the lock...

Guys - you have GOT to check this out... I can't believe it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehxMxqHXwM8

So the past month or so, I've been collecting parts to do a Z06 brake upgrade... my hunch was that it would be a direct bolt-on upgrade and it was... I purchased the following: Z06 Caliper Set - 6-piston front, 4-piston rear (p/n 19121788, 19121789, 19121802, 19121803) DBA 4000 Series 6x6...

After watching some dyno #'s from HorsePower TV... I decided to do some research and found this article: http://www.powerblocktv.com/redirects/dbredirects/redirect.php?id=537 I'm not entirely certain it makes much of a performance difference, but their emissions tests seem to be sound - so at...

When my 06 XLR-V idles... the oil pressure gauge reads 40 (about the middle). When I rev the engine at 3k rpm or so and hold it, the gauge reads about 80. (almost pegged). Does everyone else's do the same thing? Or is this just what my V does?

After buying the D3 headers & cats last spring, I finally got them installed... Initially I thought I'd take them to a shop to get installed, but I decided to tackle them myself. It was a huge pain! :) I got one side in over a weekend, and it took a couple of trips to the store to get the...

I braved the Houston heat today and installed the new front and rear sway bars I had sitting in my garage that I had ordered from D3 a few months ago. They're actually the Corvette C6/ZO6 Sport Sway Bar Set from Hotchkis but fit fine on my XLR-V. From what I know the new front bar is 1 1/4"...

After two long months, I finally have my new tires and wheels mounted on my 06 XLR-V. Forgeline SP3P 20" 3-piece wheels... hidden hardware, chrome, with break-away stems, and internal TPMS brackets...

I have a question... does your XLR have a steering column lock? In that, once the car is turned off, can you turn the wheel? I tried turning the wheel on my parked and turned-off 06 XLR-V, and found that I can actually turn the wheel. When I dug through the service manuals, it says that the...

Now that I've hit 16k miles, it looks like I need new tires on my V. Here's what I'd like: I'm only interested in run-flat tires... I've had three flats in 16k miles, and every one of those flats I got in a city away from home. I'd like wider rear tires than 255 - after the performance...

In preparation of the Gumball 3000, I spent the day installing the D3 CAI, "Wait for me" performance PCM, and the exhaust baffle control mod... photos below... Love how it sounds and drives now... Installed the switch... hole drilled with step bit... Switch installed (just like Standby did...

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Some guy is working on getting the V1 display to show on the HUD... he's already got a prototype working on the C6 vette... A video demo is here: http://www.swarga-research.com/ Main homepage on the project is here...

Folks, I have been approved to drive in this years Gumball 3000 rally (LA to Miami) in my XLR-V.... this should be fun. :)
