    Where to find clamps like those between manifolds and cat pipes?

    No, that's not what I am looking for... I am reffereing the clamps at the base of the manifolds, it's a band clamp with two shaped metal pieces inside that conform to the shape of the manifold pippe and seal it to the cat pipe. That's the one I'm looking and it is specific to this location only.

    Not as happy as I thought I'd be with new HRE's

    Re: Not as happy as I thought I\'d be with new HRE\'s Having owned a couple of sets of HRE's on my last two cars I can tell you that the finish is not going to be perfect. And it is not because HRE doesn't make the finest wheels around, it's just the nature of what you ordered. First, the...

    Got my Viper back! Wheels chromed!

    Probably because Precision is local to Sac (Cali Chrome is in Socal some 350 miles away). Also, Precision specializes in wheels, they can break down, refinish and put back together multi piece wheels and even mount and balance tires in house. They can polish, powdercoat, paint or chrome...

    Exhaust Leak

    The flex pipe always sounds like it's leaking on both sides of mine. I have determined though that I don't think either flex is really leaking, since I can't feel anything, and I have no exhaust residue. But it sure sounds like it, and I wonder if the design has something to do with that.

    Selling my HRE's... (not dial up friendly)

    Re: Selling my HRE\'s... (not dial up friendly) Paul, I'm glad you brought up the clear coat thing. I have had experience with HRE's before on my Z06 being clearcoated, and unfortunately they got chipped slightly when the tires were first mounted. That created a chipping which never ended. It...

    Selling my HRE\'s... (not dial up friendly) Selling my near perfect set of 18x10 and 18x13 fully polished HRE 540 wheels along with 275/35 front and 335/30 Michelin Pilot Sport tires. Wheels and tires have about 4,000 miles and are in exceptional condition. I am a super clean freak about my car...

    19" Purners/HRE or Others & Rubbing issues

    Re: 19 About the only thing you are going to find is that the corner of the hood is going to rub the front tire when you pull it forward to open it, just prior to lifting it into it's upright position. I had this a little bit even with my 275/35/18's on the front lowered on Eibach's. I have...

    Re: got any idea\'s how to tighten my bottle valves ? ? ? and PICS... There should be a plastic gasket between the valve and the bottle. You do not want to tighten the valves too much or you will mush the gasket. I used to be able to get a large crescent wrench on my valves, protected with...

    Problem finding mathing tread in P-zero 20s ... need advice

    Pirelli makes a 285/30/20 front in the P-Zero Rosso but I believe it has the red logos. According to Pirelli's website it is not uncommon to see an assimetrical rear tire and then a directional front tire, but the Nero is neither. In my opinion I would rather see red tags on the front than...

    19" tire questions. Help !!!

    Re: 19 Jeff, To be honest, I think you are going to want the 355/25 Pirelli out back, if not just for the bragging right that it is the widest tire on the market, it should look awesome on the business end of your car. The 335 is actually a bit small for a 13" rim, you can see this when you...

    19" tire questions. Help !!!

    Re: 19 I wish I knew. It's really nothing more than another form of advertisement and I think it looks silly, especially if you get a mismatched set. Luckily you can go to us.pirelli.com and see which tires have the label and which don't (nolbl). Tirerack can also tell you if they are solid...

    19" tire questions. Help !!!

    Re: 19 The 285/30 Michelins exist according to Michelin's website, but they can't be found anywhere. (And believe me I have checked)... After calcing several different tire setups I found the 285/30/19 and 355/25/19 Pirellis are about the best fitting for a 19x10 and 19x13. The bowing of the...

    opinions on wheels needed :)

    Like I said, those guys do good work... I tend to like the polish look better even though it isn't as shiny as chrome because there is really nothing on the car that is chrome. Everything is either zinc plated (satin silver) or polished. But for those that like the super shiny stuff that is...

    opinions on wheels needed :)

    Joe, While I was replying to your PM I realized there is a shop in Sac off of El Camino that specializes in refinishing wheels. They can dismount your tires, tear down and polish multi piece wheels like yours in no time. They are very reasonable too, if I remember about $500 with remounting...

    Comments on Pirelli P-Zero Rosso?

    Go to us.pirelli.com, and call them back. That's not correct, and I have spoken to reps at Tire Rack and Pirelli both.
