    Major oil leak repairs

    They're no too bad. I think I paid about $50 a piece for my 2 spares a few years ago. Mine are always weeping, but never drip. They probably need changing again this year before I start racing too hard. Remove and replace is really easy, just have to insure they are relearned before hard...

    COOLERS IN THE TRUNK

    I wired 12 volts into the trunk when I was running power to my CarPC. I have a RubberMaid Travel Cooler and Warmer that fits perfectly in the corner over the rear storage compartment. This cooler is perfect for keeping ice and a six pack cold all day long, either top up or down.

    CUSTOM WHEEL GALLERY: XLR/XLRV

    Since this is the custom wheels GALLERY thread, let's continue this discussion over on the existing wheel and fitment thread here. or here. Bottom line I had same as you and got 285-40ZR-18s Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar tires on the rear without rubbing. They are really too big for the 8 1/2...

    Run flat tires

    Buki, I'm no Schumacher (I respect the man so I learned to spell his name right), but I've far exceeded the limits of the stock driveline and suspension. I understand I am one of the few exceptions on this forum, but the fact that there are more than one, two, three, four of us that I know...

    Texas Mile March 21-23

    Firrst CTS-V Over 200MPH at the Texas Mile Now I'm really mad I wasn't there this time. 162.6MPH at the half mile. 200.9MPH across the finish. He and I were roommates in his RV last time I was there. Set my record and he broke. He's not your typical CTS-V drag racing fanatic. He's just a...

    Shift levers

    I looked into it a couple years ago. At the Corvette Homecoming that we "took over for the first two days", there was a vendor that I spent a few hours with that thought he could do it, but he needed the car for three weeks and wanted me to pay for all the R&D. I also talked to the vendor...

    Rough ride

    I hate to mention this but have you had anyone crawl under there and check to see if the factory stops are still there (they are supposed to be removed on delivery). Someone on here had your same complaint and found out these stops were still on the shocks which kept them from fully retracting...

    New member 2006 Infrared XLR

    It happens unfortunately about once a quarter. And as usual, I ask for timeslips. And as usual, there are none. Although, I know a silver one will be gunning for me this year. (I got my eye on you and got a little something for ya come October.) OBTW, Elwood is black.

    If you've named your XLR, what & why?

    I believe if you click on an image it will go full screen. I haven't looked at my XLR Firefox screen in a while. Let's see O.K. down the left is Speedo, vertical altimeter, Tach, Engine Temp, and Compass. Down the right is digital speedo, nav info, i,e,. heading, latitude, longitude, and...

    If you've named your XLR, what & why?

    I had initially planned to give my car an aircraft theme. I had already begun the back story based on the fictitious plane called Firefox from the Clint Eastwood movie of the same name. Most of you have seen my shifter and the embedded computer between the seats. I had even developed a...

    Montana Rocket Run 2014

    I don't know how useful this info is to the Rocket Run group, but thought I'd pass it along anyway. There are several discount programs for National Parks and other federal lands. Yellowstone is $25 per vehicle per week, but with a little preplanning... military can get a free annual pass...

    2005 Steel Blue XLR for sale

    Evidently, Bvlgari was brought on board to attract the European buyers while also introducing the watchmaker to the US consumer. They had an agreement from 1999 to the refresh after 2008 model year. Bvlgari also designed aspects of some of the Cadillac concept cars as well as the XLR keyfob...

    EXACTLY! My dealer does my relearn every Spring after the temps are above 70*F, i.e., my summertime mode when I'm most likely to be cycling the top.
