    Racing stripes.

    The curves in the stripes you are referring to are as the raw material (vinyl sheet) is cut into stripes, if it is cut straight and applied to the curved body, it will be difficult to keep the stripes straight. This is most noticeable on the front and rear, the hood and roof not so much. If...

    Pennzoil Ultra Euro 5- 40

    Switched to 0-40 in my '01 many years ago. It was explained once that the reason it was not factory fill back in '01 was that it was not being made then.

    295, 305, or 325/30 front wheel fitment

    I use the PS2 295/19 on an 11" wide wheel on my non lowered '01 GTS. It get's close but fits well. Slightly bumps the hood on one side when opening and closing. Have had zero rub issues.

    -> spray the latches with WD40 that will help immensely -> ensure you are closing the hood from the proper location which is not up front by the latches but inside between the hood vents

    Emergency brake slips

    I'm not asking anybody anything. In fact, you asked me a question. Keep up... ;) In regards to the DBB / Ipsco "e-brake," it is in fact not actually an emergency brake, but a "spot" caliper that is designed to keep an already stationary vehicle, stationary. It will pass inspection and will...

    Emergency brake slips

    No fancy mechanism. Very straight forward. The cables connect to the caliper, and as in LIG's photo above, that motion is transferred to a linear pull on the cables via the handle mechanism. There may be a logarithmic ratio in the cam on the handle tho, meaning the "pull" changes as the...

    Can you get a big brake kit that uses the stock front Gen 2 caliper and SRT rearotor

    Re: Can you get a big brake kit that uses the stock front Gen 2 caliper and SRT rearo They are not the same. Most of the SRT kits need 4 fronts.

    Emergency brake slips

    The cables do stretch, as that's what cables do over time.

    Emergency brake slips

    Oh, and just thought of this. Might want to get the car back on a rack and look at the cables versus the exhaust. If he did an entire new exhaust system, those go by each other. He could have put one of the cables in a quandry, or misplaced it from an anchor point / bracket.

    Re: Can you get a big brake kit that uses the stock front Gen 2 caliper and SRT rearo Depending on the year of your car ABS or not, you need to pay attention to brake bias. I have 14" SRT brakes on my '01 but have ABS. The latter makes the former work well. As pointed out, IPSCO is good...
