    Just bought Tom's rear brake upgrade...any advice before installing?

    So if a guy who's a machinist were to make his own 40mm pistons, those are the seals and dust boots required?

    Question on stock shift knob.

    There should be a jamb nut on the shaft so that the knob can be properly oriented.

    is this Whindshield Oem or aftermarket?

    Intracontinental shipping will always be cheaper than sending one across the pond. A windshield size box from here to Italy starts at around $500.

    Tough to replace a gen II viper...

    Everybody and their grandmother has a 1st gen Camaro. You can't go to a car show in Podunk without at least three showing up.

    Turning rotors. Myths and truths

    I've done many a brake job in my day. Unless the rotors are warped or grooved I don't feel that turning is necessary. Even with a little bit of grooving, the new pads will quickly wear down to conform to the rotors. The finish on the rotors doesn't matter much, after a few thousand miles, it...

    Daddy, wow, what kinda car is that? Son, that's the new Vette. -facepalm.

    I always reply with "Well, the speed limit in WI is 65, so...65."

    Received the VCA membership "pitch letter" today.

    I hadn't noticed, but now that you've pointed it out I don't see any more ads either.
