I guess any excuse to go to the track is a good one. I wouldn't even think of racing a PT Cruiser unless there was $$$$ involved. Modded or not I have always thought they were a POS. :puke: On another note not to hijack but is anyone going to Bradenton this weekend for the streetmachine Nationals. h...

You say you don't have the gauges there anymore and in a pod?

If you still have the Gauge pod on the side would you be willing to sell it.
I like that look very orginial and clean looking.

What do you have in the Stock Fiero Gauge pod??

I probably could use the clear that I got but I don't want to chance it I spent $100 on the PPG shit that I got off ebay so I wasn't going cheap.

The tech part is don't paint your own car unless you know what you are doing.

There that was easy.

I think the STS is a glorified Grand Am, they are so small on the inside. I was thinking about getting one and did not like it at all. Rode like shit too. The V series is the same thing except with the V-8 in it. I love our 01 Eldo nice and roomy still classy and Fast. They should've never stopped m...

Coil-over Advantage??

What is the advantage to the coil-over other than the obvious, wider tire? I am running 225 50 ZR16 on it now. I have the lowering springs I think they are 1.5-1.75"for the front with koni's that I haven't installed yet. I want to lower the rear too and do all 4 corners at once. I was looking a...

The norm is heat produces power, oil is thinner, combustion chambers are hotter etc. This is proven by Nascar, for example, oil and water heaters are hooked up before qualifying. Now tranny fluid heated up isn't good so that may be what the difference is in your situation. Also a trick is to Deeeeep...
