    2000 ACR and Carbotech Brakes

    All, sorry I couldn't respond sooner. With the economy as it is I work out of town for extended periods and company computers are monitored for private use. Also at this time I have to watch finances. Even though I am working my company is not reimbursing me for rent etc. ***** but it beats the...

    2000 ACR and Carbotech Brakes

    I was trying to balance the stock brakes on my ACR a little better with brake pads by softening the grip on the front and increasing the rear via pads. In stock form and stock pads the fronts lock easily and try to ruin my $20k hood. Searching brought me to the solution to use AX6 on the front...

    Looking for a Miller Tool

    I was thinking it had more to do with the height of the gauge. All it does is fit it correctly to the wheel? The height would be the same either on stock or BBS wheels regardless? That would be good because I cannot find that extension anywhere and Miller Tool keeps pushing the delivery out...

    Check engine light

    The light was just a coincidence. It was the gas cap.

    Check engine light

    I didn't want to invest in a code reader today as I thought the prices for them were pretty steep. My wife manages the funds and the economy has kicked the crap out of her home business so I was a little aprehensive to do so. I purchased an entry level one, not too expensive, because I had to...

    Check engine light

    2000 GTS I idled the car in my driveway to operating temperature to do a proper coolant check. Before doing this I had removed my airfilters and forward box to clean and oil them. I let the car idle without the filters or forward box in place until it was at normal temp. I then checked my...

    Just Bought My First GTS

    Congratulations-nice nice car. Word to the wise, do not I repeat do not lean on your center console to reach across the car. The console will break. Once you get a new console and the special hard foam thick backing to support your new console you will be out a grand to fix the problem caused by...

    Another puff of smoke story

    2000 ACR, 15000 miles. I was playing around with my car rolling it up through 3rd and 4th to 4500 rpm after a Viper club run. :drive: Couldn't get the spirited driving out of my system. Running quickly out of room I had to swiftly stop including downshifting and got a very large puff of blueish...

    Old tires question

    I replaced my tires at about 5 years old with 9k on them about a year after I got the car. The change out was amazing. The car tracked, rode, accelerated better, was more controllable under excelleration through corners and in a straight line if I hit a bump under power. I learned this lesson...

    Dynamic Shocks Rebuilders

    I thought about purchasing new shocks for the black beauty right after Christmas. However I am trying to keep the vehicle stock to retain it's originality and value. One of 39 in all black, no stripe. For that reason I probably will have the shocks rebuilt knowing full well that there might be...

    Dynamic Shocks Rebuilders

    I found this company online that states they rebuild just about any shock out there including Dynamics. Anybody out there ever used them? Performanceshock.com or they call themselves PSI out of Sonoma at Infineon Raceway. I believe Carl Haas was the other option but these guys in Sonoma are...
