Re: I need new rubbers... Any suggestions?

I just put goodyear RSA's on to replace the old rotten goodyear RH's. So far they seem fine fairly quiet and they were pretty cheap. I only buy goodyear tires.... I don't like other brands. I think I paid right around 85 a pop and install was a case of beer.... :D I don't need super agressive tires ...

Re: What is this part called?!

Its a cap.... its a Dealer only part. If its still available for your car you'll prob have to buy the whole thing top and bottom as its "hinged"... I don't think my '02 has it but I'll have to look. Best bet might be a junk yard for cheapo....

Re: Walker Quiet-flow SS install

Yeah. And for the most part it works...only in certain circumstances does it flutter. Dynomax recommends one muffler for under 4.0L or dual exhaust, and a different for over 4.0L and single exhaust. I'm thinking the 3.4 with headers and 2.5 pipe may just breathe too well for the "under 4.0&quo...

Z26 seat rocks... no the other kind of "rock"

I looked around here and can't find any info... I have Z26 seats in my car but I have always had a problem where the drivers seat has a slight rock front to back. Its worse when you tilt the front of seat cushin up. Is there a fix for this? I looked under the seat and see the problem sort of.... it ...

Re: Walker Quiet-flow SS install

Interesting... ive never looked into Corsa before. I just figured they would be loud. I love the Borla XS on my GTZ but that car will shake the siding off your house. Corsa builds it specific to application and they design so there is no drone... I worked with them a long time ago on a project at G...

Re: Old time member returning

I guess I saw German automaker and South Carolina and figured BMW... oops! If you need any pointers on areas to stay away from or to look at, let me know. I live in Concord, NE of Charlotte. I couldn't remember if you were in Lansing or just mentioned in when we met... it was 14-15 years ago after ...

Not sure if you recognize my screen name as I have been here forever - you might even predate me... haha. Yes... Daimler Trucks. Nope don't recgon...

Re: Old time member returning

I will say welcome back, even though your presence here far pre-dates mine. :wink: I am one of the many (?) bstuff orphans from several years ago that finally crawled back into the light. I would love to see some pics of your car -non-power windows in a black digi-dash GT?? Sounds like something I ...

Re: Old time member returning

Actually restoring a model A is quite easy... everything is available repo.... now quality isn't the best but youcan buy literally every part. I should know I'm doing one now. I think as time marches on these cars will be hard to keep going with less and less part support.... :( Touche... My father...

Re: Old time member returning

Yep, Greenville isn't very far from me at all. Maybe 2 hrs away? I've been living in the Charlotte, NC area for the last 8 years. I'm not surprised you don't work for GM anymore; not many do. The old plants in downtown Lansing where the Alero/Grand Am and CTS were made are all torn down now (I only...

Re: Old time member returning

Another car surfaces with original Beretta specific Koni's... :) Yep... as I said I spent a lot of silly money in my youth. :roll: From the way you make it sound they aren't available anymore? Oh god no... nothing is available for these cars anymore... it's worse than trying to restore a Model A......
