    Gas Cap Reassembly

    Sorry, painting it white was my failed attempt at humor. :D On the companies website, as well as competitors, they state any product sent for chroming must be completely disassembled. Some even charge a minimum $25 disassembly fee!! I guess this is why the chrome exchanges charge well...

    Gas Cap Reassembly

    I'm talking about the actual reassembly of the gas cap, not the re-installation. Reassembling the cap will be harder than installing the cap back on the car. :( One shop quoted 6-8 weeks!!!!!! I went with another locally well known shop, as their turnaround was only 2-3 weeks.

    Gas Cap Reassembly

    Anyone ever reassembled their gas cap? I removed mine to get it painted white. The guys at the shop laughed, so I told them I was joking and to just chrome the SOB. :D I get a call from them and they are going to take the assembly apart to polish & chrome every individual part, but they...

    JonB's Dual Shell Vented Hood

    The plug wires are a tad too close to the headers for my comfort. Also, the gap between the front tires and the fascia makes the front end look funny, like it's unbalanced or something, in a "kit car" kinda way. Not that I'm being picky or anything. :D I'm guessing it was painted due to the...

    JonB's Dual Shell Vented Hood

    Tape off around the vents?? :2tu: I'd also like to see a pic of the hood on a Viper. I'll even volunteer my car. Hell, I'll pay for shipping. :D

    Question: Changing Cat Converter

    Trust me, it will not be too loud, unless you remove the resonators. And you are correct, the side sills will be MUCH cooler.

    Question: Changing Cat Converter

    There's an even cheaper option. Ditch the cats and substitute with straight pipes. Of course, this would be for off road use only. :D

    GTS Gas Cap

    Got the cap off. The gasket seemed like it was glued onto the inner latch surface. Took this noob about 10 minutes. Several minutes was worrying I would pull the tube out. :D All I need now is to get the thing polished or chromed and then slap it back into place.

    GTS Gas Cap

    :2tu: Thanks! I may take you up on that. I'll try the coat hanger method first. I'll shoot you a pm if that fails. How hard can it be, right? :D

    Finished winter refresh toady: painted calipers/added 6-spoke wheels on GTS (PICS)

    Re: Finished winter refresh toady: painted calipers/added 6-spoke wheels on GTS (PICS Same here. Is that paint or powdercoat on the manifold/valve covers?

    All you Graphite/Silver Stripe lovers

    That's a good question. The ad mentions one previous owner, so I have no idea how the dealer still has the MSO. Concerning the warranty, I always thought the warranty started the day the vehicle sold, regardless of whether it was titled or not. That's why I would think the car has no warranty...

    GTS Gas Cap

    :rolaugh: Mine is oxidized to hell and back. I need to take mine off and polish it or have it chromed. Anyone have any idea how to get the cap assembly back on? I've searched the forums and have come up empty, unless I buy the MGW cap that comes with "the special tool" to reinstall the cap...

    All you Graphite/Silver Stripe lovers

    I'm horrible at reading. It does list one previous owner, but I thought Chapman Dodge would be a Dodge Dealer, unless Chapman Motors is a collector car dealer? :confused: I guess the main thing is that there will be no warranty due to a previous owner being listed.

    It really shouldn't be too much of a contest, if the only mods he considers will be bolt-ons. He'll need forced induction, H/C, nitrous, or other high end mods to keep up with you in the 1/4mi. I've had several Vettes. The last was a '02 Z06. It had a Vararam cold air intake, Kooks header...

    Where is this oil coming from

    Yep. Happened to my car. I could've sworn it was a valve cover leak. I retorqued the valve cover, cleaned up the lake of oil on top of the engine, and then ordered a new gasket. A few weeks after installing the new gasket, the lake returned. :mad: Tony fixed the problem by doing the timing...

    pushstart wiring diagram needed

    Don't have a diagram, but I can explain it. Make sure the car is in either second or third gear with the parking brake off. Have 2-3 guys push you to get you rolling. Once you reach top speed by the pushers, pop the clutch and BAM....your pushstarting will be successful. :D

    Hooters-Chicago guys???

    I'd be down for meeting up and talking some Bears football. Is the Hooters in Nashville too far for you? :D On a side note, my co-workers aren't saying a word about football, after early this summer trying to get me to take on the Super Bowl bound Titans as my team. :lmao: I'm a Bears fan...

    Injector flow bench/cleaner up and running

    Have you thought about GoDaddy.com? I'm sure there's cheaper options out there, but when me and a buddy started up Total Sleep Solutions LLC a few years ago, it was dirt cheap to set up and host. It's not going to look like tirerack.com, but it will look much better than what you have now. :D

    Want a good laugh? Read this (vette guys)

    I'm laughing because those are probably true statements. The Viper he was in probably had some bad AC o-rings and the stock cats. Most women do prefer Corvettes. Even more women prefer Miatas. :D
