    Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!! Everybody always brings up resale value. Which is based on consumer hype to begin with lol. BUT... are you buying it to sell next week, or drive for a lifetime? I bought my '01 to be buried in in 50 years...

    Re: Confused Newbie deciding between 2001 GTS ACR and 1996 GTS ...Man this is tough!! Blue/white is over rated and tons made. Get the '01 with the upgraded chassis items like ABS and the missing powertrain items like leaking timing chain covers.

    radiator

    What brand was the leaker? And I'm thinking Mopar is out of the Gen 2 radiator game. Get the Howe from RSI or get the stocker recored.

    Hey guys need a little help...

    I've always been able to get through on the phone. Remember they are west coast time and they may not get in before 10 or 11 their time.

    painting center console

    Not sure that paint would be a very good idea. And how do you dye black? Except, um, to dye it, um, black? lol

    Hey guys need a little help...

    Bolts are one use due to stretch, 28 lb ft torque. Always seal the joint after a disassembly. The latter is likely your problem.

    Gen II Outside Door Button - degraded finish

    I am amazed at this. 12 years in the Texas sun on my car and it still looks new. Never seen it on any other of the local cars. You guys are weird lol.

    radiator

    Typically you'll want to fill it as much as it will take (engine off and cold), run it until the thermostat opens and fluid moves, then shut it down and let it cool and top it off via the same methods. The Gen 2 makes it easier as it has the fascia overflow bottle that will provide makeup...

    radiator

    Pretty sure you just disconnect the hose and pour in fluid till it won't take any more. But it does sound messy. But hey, you're Gen 1 and I've only done the Gen 2. Probably 10 times dammit.

    What color do I powdercoat my 20 inch CCW SP550 wheels?

    All the colors on the vehicle should compliment and coordinate with each other. Stripes, base color, interior, trim, wheels, and so on. Not everyone gets that lol.

    radiator

    I had a factory one recored here in the DFW area. It was $400 including going from 2 rows to 3 rows. The tanks are already sized for that. But seeing as you live in a cold climate you can probably get away with just having the factory 2 core rodded and the leak repaired. Having had...

    Cleaning Fog Light Covers?

    I have had success buffing polycarbonate automotive lenses before. Used a loose cotton wheel with a common white compound, on a bench machine. You may not get all the nicks out but the improvement will be night and day. Just have to watch the heat from the wheel to part friction.

    Pictures with black OEM five spoke wheels

    Black wheels should have black stripes on the car. And no one should put add-ons in their hood scallops at the door hinge area. Of course, not everyone likes my wheels, so just another 0.02 by Dave. But the black gas cap does look good with the wheels.

    Wiper blade refills for OEM blade assembly

    I used Bosch 41916. $11.99 @ O'Reilly. They fit perfectly. Nothing wrong with OEM as I preach that a lot on parts, but not wiper blades. Summary: I paid for what I got.

    Wiper blade refills for OEM blade assembly

    Any auto parts carries them. Even Walmart. They are everyday blades that fit every other car. Nothing special.
