    ISO 2007 XLR-V in Xenon Blue

    I LOVE my non V Xenon Blue XLR! Just such an amazing color that has to be seen in the sunlight or under lights to be truly appreciated. I just bought a supercharged lc3 motor out of an 06 STS-V today, that I'm hoping to either swap with my motor, or retrofit my motor with the supercharger &...

    Help! How do you check the top hydraulic fluid level?

    Wow! So glad this forum & this thread exist! I just stumbled across this thread & decided to take a look. (I recently noticed that my trunk was slowly dropping when open.) I just assumed it was time to rebuild the tops hydro system. After a bit of reading, I decided to go take a look at my...

    Rear swaybar parts list '04-'09

    Thank you! The wheels were custom made for the car. Would you have any idea WHO I might speak with or where to look for information on an engine swap? I have an 06 supercharged, lc3 motor from an STS-V (Rated at 469 hp) I'd like to transplant into my base 06 XLR.

    Mine's an 06. Yep, holes already drilled & tapped. Just lay down, slide over & it's all right there as you can see in my pics above. Like Geico says..."So easy, even a Caveman can do it." LOL! Glad I can help. :)

    Rear swaybar parts list '04-'09

    I did it on my garage floor. Super easy. Easier than taking off a wheel. No jacking the car up or anything. No drilling. All the holes are already there. There was a piece of black adhesive backed plastic that needed to be peeled off on either side. You can see the shiney spots where it was in...

    Rear swaybar parts list '04-'09

    I'd never installed one, or even looked under the car to do it, until I got mine. SUPER easy! I bought a used Z06 sway bar with the end links included off of Ebay for $75. I cleaned it all up & spray painted the swaybar blue. That took way longer than installing it! LOL! Install took about 10-...

    XLR_V engine into non XLR

    Does anyone know if the heads & blower off of a 4.4l V can be bolted to the non V 4.6l? Are there any electrical connections that need to be dealt with associated with that? I just acquired a 469 hp supercharged lc3, in good running condition from an 06 STS-V for $350! (Moving/Desperation sale)...

    Headers for the 4.6 N*

    I'm trying to see if any has found or installed headers for their 4.6. If so, do/did you like them? Pros? Cons? Who makes them? Any used ones for sale? Smog issues? CELs? Really anything worth mentioning. Thanks in advance!

    Z06 Rear Sway Bar I just finished installing a rear sway bar on the XLR & I have to say "WOW!! What a difference!!!" I purchased a used one off of an 06 Z06, cleaned it up, painted it, lubed the bushings & bolted her up. It only took about 15 minutes to install! Fortunately, I have the right...

    Help! Looking to upgrade stereo

    Thanks for the input. I want to make sure it gets done right. And thank you for the compliment on the car & photo. The setting wasn't the best. LOL! It just looked so nice under those lights. I just held my phone/cam over my head to get the angle. No roofs were harmed in the taking of that...

    New wheels

    Ha! Thank you! Theses are actually 2015 C7 Corvette Z51 wheels. They're a temporary fix while my new wheels from Ace Alloy are being cut. I think they do look pretty cool though! 😊
