    Help! service riide controll and low coolent display

    Reach around behind each tire and make sure the ABS connector is fully seated in the bearing's socket. I had someone a while back forgot to connect one and troubleshooting drove me crazy. I've found out that our ABS sensors are very sensitive and the readings must match within a very close...

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

    Yes you can. I jack the car up and have a 2x2 block that I insert as close to the a-arm as possible under the spring and slowly lower the jack. The block will raise the spring pad off the a-arm. Be careful not to drop the weight of the car on the spring, just slowly transfer the weight...

    From the start line to the timing lights is exactly one mile. Then you have a half mile to slow down before the turnoff.

    Do you see XLRs??

    Actually, he did stand up inside the car and sit on the console. He wanted to be sure PJ got him in the picture. I think he's a very successful hair stylist and has no interest in the Rams.

    Intro to my XLR aspirations

    I am no expert, but it sounds like you have a good plan: D3 stage I & II with a dyno tune. Whatever you do don't waste your $600 on the D3 performance chip they try to sell with the intakes. The dyno tune is the better method.

    Snake Bite XLR-V

    2014 ... so far O.K. I just scared the crap outta myself. As most of the MMs know the car has been down for most of the year getting headers and a new exhaust system installed. I just changed my pulley this week and got 500 miles on the exhaust so it was time for some acceleration runs. I...

    I agree - you get what you pay for. But sometimes you have to get what matches your lifestyle. My choice for a battery maintainer had to fit me, so I went with the Century 87002 because its installed in the car right next to the battery, the cord is just long enough that I can prop it with the...

    Do you see XLRs??

    After getting home from FunFest, PJ and I decided the weather was so nice that we put the top down and headed to Forest Park to relax. On the way into the park we ran into this guy.

    French Lick Concours 2014

    I have to be in Danville the next day (Monday) and this is just a little over half way there for me. Maybe I should add this to my calendar. Let's see if I can get a hotel nearby for Sunday and I'll be there with you guys.

    I was the XLR guinea pig for Ray a few years ago and mine is working great still. Your 07 should be quick and easy. By now, Ray's AUX input systems are pretty much plug and play.

    hot rod drag week

    Not me! Hell no, I like my stock block, tranny and rear end.... But as usual, I know a guy...met him a few years ago at Gateway Raceway. He lives not too far from St Louis, boasts a street legal XLR (complete with current Missouri license plates), but about the only thing XLR remaining is the...
