On the recomendation of several racers in my area, I have run Synergy synthetic oil in my truck since the first oil change. The...

Seems like a retarded cursur, but it's probably a high-tech thing. Can I obtain it somehow ? Life gets mo' betta at 120

    What are those knobs on the sides of the seats for??

    They do in fact pump up the lumbar support in the lower seat back. They work just like the doctor's. Open the valve to let air out, close it and squeeze the bulb to inflate the bladder in seat back. If it's not working, check to make sure the hose doesn't have a crack in it.

    Bulb Change???

    Will these bulbs work on 1st gen cars ? I thought I read someplace where low beams were available, but high beams were not ? Or Visa versa ? I see quite a few (lexus ?) cars with what appear to be blue lights driving at night that are so bright I catch myself staring at the approaching car like...

    Engine paint

    When I changed my spark plugs a few weeks ago, I saw blistering paint on the rear of both valve covers. Not bubbles, but at least a few square inches. I was very careful not to touch or break it, but clearly the paint is lifting off the valve covers. Has anyone else noticed this ?

    hahahhaaaa !

    Mind you, I'm a Chevy guy from way back, but......... I'm at the gas station the other day when a guy comes up to me after eye balling my car for quite a while. "So, what's the story in this car ? It's a beauty ! I can't decide between a new Corvette or a Viper. What do you think ?" I told him...

    Radar/Laser Countermeasures

    They have 15 or so camera equiped vans that park in different areas daily. They say that anything that causes the plates to be non-legible is illegal. This whole thing is a ploy by Lockeed Corp. They approach the state, show them how they can generate millions in added income by installing their...

    Radar/Laser Countermeasures

    The state of Hawaii began issuing photo speeding tickets last week on the Island of Oahu. They nabbed almost 1000 speeders (1 mph or more over the limit) the first day ! They say that once they get the bugs worked out, they will begin using the new system on all islands. The maximum speed limit...

    RT10 vs GTS

    I've never driven a GTS, but I have driven MY RT/10 most of the time with the soft top on simply because of weather conditions here (it's tough to drive for more than an hour or so in either direction with out encountering at least "ominous" clouds.) Last weekend, the weather was predicted GREAT...

    The best looking supercharger I've ever seen.......

    Re: The best looking supercharger I\'ve ever seen....... I've seen a few superchargers, but never one driven from behind as this appears to be. What are they using to drive the supercharger ?

    Removing 94 mufflers??

    Welding on the car is out of the question. Yes, unbolting the two nut on each side is all it takes. Then pull the whole assembly straight out from the car off the two hangers. This can even be done with the car on the ground. I guess the clever way to swap out parts would be to remove the...

    Removing 94 mufflers??

    You don't have to cut anything to remove the muffler. Remove the sill cover, unbolt the header pipe from the manifold and pull it out. Then you can cut what ever you want off, but you'll have to put something in place of the mufflers or cats because you still have to get the exhaust to the...

    Engine oil cooler

    I took a look at my oil filter adapter today, and I see the "big nut" that you mentioned. Naturally, I do not have a wrench that size. Can anyone tell me what size wrench I need to remove and inspect this ? It looks like a socket would be the best way to get at it. Also, what am I looking for...

    Stripes or Not???????

    As I recall, the original purpose of the "rally" stripes was for drivers to use to line up their approach and departure angles on a race track. No reason at all for the stripes on the roof or tail, except for symmetry.
