    Do you see XLRs??

    Never seen one like you described. My circuit does not include Florida so we may just have not crossed paths..... yet.

    Service Ride Control And Traction Control

    This may sound dumb, but check to make sure the hub sensors are plugged in securely. I did some work on my car a few years ago and this happened to me because the plug wasn't securely fastened.

    Yeah, I decided it was time I spent some money on PJ's comfort since I've been dragging her across the country to my races and she has to stand around all day in the heat. This way she can sit under the AC in the comfy RV; drink, smoke, cook, watch TV, etc. During autocross and LSR runs she...

    Yes, that paint will work. For a smooth finish you'll need 3 or 4 thin coats and let it cure 24hr between coats. Too bad its not gloss black. I used the gloss black and then put on three coats of clear on my engine covers.

    Storage ideas

    How about this, I have two but only ever use one because we pack light, travel with the top up (until we get to our destination hotel), and need to leave room to pack the trunk to capacity on the way home :thumbsup (sorry inside joke for the MMs). In my old life, I wore suits daily, so I have...

    I had to hack the hell outta Phrede's to keep it from draining my battery. Never got my audio in hack to work so went another direction with that.

    Pirelli World Challenge 2015

    Also for the Texas area folks, the Texas V Club is also working with Cadillac Marketing and has some extras for their club members. More info can be found here. Looks like they have 81 registrants already. I havent talked to Cadillac Marketing, yet, this year, so I don't know if our "ALL XLRs"...

    How many of you shift gears yourself on a regular basis? Any issues?

    The answer to the first part (posi traction) is no, but.... Traction control and stabilitrack cannot be completely disabled in these cars while driving (there is a way for your mechanic to do it, but I won't get into that). Performance mode loosens up the "nannies" a bit, but if you do get way...

    How many of you shift gears yourself on a regular basis? Any issues?

    I would guess I'm hardest on my tranny than most. I change my fluids every year (both tranny and rear-end) just to be safe - never flush, just drain and refill. So far, I still have very solid shifts although a little harder due to my tranny tune. Actually the cable does move slightly in...

    Irish Humor

    A man walked into the lingerie department of Dunnes in Dublin and said to the woman behind the counter, "I'd like to buy a Baptist bra for my wife , size 36B." What type of bra? asked the clerk. "Baptist" said the man. She said get a Baptist bra, and that you'd know what she meant." "Ah yes...

    Help! $2800 wasted on shocks; rear driver side too low; electrical problems caused the dealership

    I'm sure someone else will chime in, but most who lower ride height from stock aren't running stock wheels and stock tires. This leads to a number of lengthy discussions on wheel width, offset, stagger; tire width and height; along with personal preferences on outward appearances. I'm sure you...

    Help! $2800 wasted on shocks; rear driver side too low; electrical problems caused the dealership

    NO! Not with the OEM style adjusters. I replaced all of mine with hardbar USA (that are evidently no longer made) - the pads are made from delrin, a race grade "plastic" material of some kind. They go in real easy because of their two-piece construction.

    Show and tell

    I don't have nearly as many cars anymore in anticipation of possibly relocating. I got rid of most the project cars and the off-site finished cars are being sold locally, so I'm stuck with my Mustang and Eldorado. But my latest project vehicle is more utilitarian. I just hope I can stay...
