Liz told me the story, bummerific man.
The new wheels are going to look sick. The knuckle could be all fuggered up. You're gonna need to compare it to another one in god shape just to make sure.
IMO you should have painted a few other pieces that cadillac white, like your VC and maybe FLCA's
Driving in the mountains at night, came around a blind corner and hit a pothole hard enough to shut off the motor. Still holds air, and is actually a VERY small dent in the lip.
Holy shit they're worth it. IMO, especially since mike has a tweaked subframe, there may be a pre-load introduced into his suspension now. With these he can dial it out.
Multi-prong plugs don't work well in boosted applications. Just run AC Delco or NGK copper plugs. Replace every 10,000 miles. They're cheap, and work extremely well.
hahah, nice mike. the 2.9 isn't practical, i'm just playing with you. I need to have some shims put in the rear to bring it to -1 on both sides. Got my camber bolts for the front, so i can get rid of this crazy positive BS.
my rear end has -2.9* of camber.... Why you be hatin?

You know mike, i have also heard that the compounds used to make up the rear pads are too coarse, which also causes the uneven wear and deep gouges. The slide pins seize and cause the inboard pad to wear faster than the outboard.
There was a good thread on .nub. i'll see if i can find it and...
Well, it's beneficial because it allows the car to perform to peak potential even in less than ideal conditions. Without that learn feature, the car would actually be less powerful in places like colorado when at higher elevation. It increases performance in a lot of situations. It's not just a...
the problem with the rear brakes is in the slide pin.
Either it is not adequately lubricated, or it simply has no grease at all.
Pick up some new pads with a groove in the middle as the stock ones are smooth = bummer. Grease up the slide pins, which actually have a groove in them designed to...
