    I want these wheels....

    I REALLY like those wheels....that offset is what worries me on those. I sent a couple of emails to rimzonline or whatever it is that carries them but never heard back from them. The other thing I'm getting is sticker shock from the price of tires.....I just have a hard time spending that much...

    I want these wheels....

    I look at parts buying like hunting and the hunt is normally the best part of the whole ordeal. That being said....I'd love to have that rim in the picture but my gut keeps telling me those aren't going to fit. I talked to a guy at a wheel/tire shop Monday and he was pointing me towards XD's. To...

    jack size.....

    I normally lift half at a time on vehicles depending on what I'm doing but I rotate my own tires and stuff too ( don't trust the tire places) so every now and then I'll have the whole thing up on stands. I still think 3 should be enough to even lift the entire front with right?

    jack size.....

    I've already got the stands for it.....I've actually got stands coming out of my ears. :D That's been part of the problem.....the only 3-4 ton jacks they had at sears were package deals with stands and a creeper. I just need the jack so I'll most likely have to order through their site.

    jack size.....

    I need to get a bigger jack for the truck since my other jack is only a 1.5 ton low profile jack. I've been looking at 3 and 4 ton jacks but not sure if I should strictly look at 4 ton or if I can get away with a 3 ton. I'm guessing a 3 ton should be plenty but thought I'd ask you guys to see...

    97 hazzard switch snaped off

    just looked it up at rockauto.....$165.79 for the one for my Sonoma which is also listed as the same part for your truck although there's a $97 option there for your truck too.

    97 hazzard switch snaped off

    I have that style on my 97 sonoma.....I broke the hazzard button off the top of the column pulling the trim for a stereo install. Looked at replacing it but the hazzard switch is part of the turn signal assembly $$$$$$$ at least when I looked at replacing it a bunch of years ago. I took a piece...

    picture of the car....

    didn't want to post this in his thread and take it off topic but we were talking about polish and wax in the other thread. Here's what Zaino looks like.....this is a '98 f-body on original paint. If you know what you're looking for you can see a nighbors brown shed that's 2 houses down from me...

    What brand of Car wash are you guys using??

    we've had these talks on the car boards before and I've developed my own opinion towards peoples choice of wax and polish. My opinion is that it's not so much the brand you use as it is the amount of prep and work you put into the vehicle. You spend some quality time cleaning up the paint and...

    What brand of Car wash are you guys using??

    for soap I use whatever is cheap. I use Meguiars on the truck for the time being until I get the time this summer to switch it over to zaino. I use zaino exclusively on the firebird.

    02 caviler ideling to high

    you could try just cleaning it first. The IAC on my wifes Durango is bad about getting gunked up so every 4-5 months it seems I have to pull it off and clean it out real good so the plunger moves freely. About a 15 minute job.

    boat is gonna be the death of me yet....

    I have an 18.5' sea nymph with a 50 HP evinrude and this thing is gonna either give me a heart attack or stroke me out before it's over with. :D I fought an intermittent spark condition all last year. Ruled out the kill switch last year by trying it with the main harness unplugged. I got out...

    02 caviler ideling to high

    not really....you can probably just clean it out with some carb cleaner. Probably just has gunk on it. While you got the carb cleaner there start spraying it on some vacuum lines and listening for the idle to change. Most of the time it's one of those 2 things. When un-metered air ( air not...

    02 caviler ideling to high

    not sure about those cars but I imagine it has an idle air control valve on the throttle body. Typically a high idle like that I look for vacuum leaks or any un-metered air getting into the engine.

    anyone make calc. pids with efilive?

    I'm going to adjust this calc. after talking to JoeCar. I'm going to make it subtract the baro from the map. Makes more sense so it would be more accurate no matter what elevation you're at.

    think I may know what I want to do lift wise...

    $$$ is the issue I'm having. I'm using the money I get from the sale of my old truck but it's going to be <$3k so that's just not a lot of money to play with. I want rims/tires and exhaust but the problem is that's going to eat up the majority of my play money. Doesn't really leave anything for...

    I want these wheels....

    I sent them an email to see if they can tell me the weight. Want to make an avatar bet how much they weigh? Closest without going over picks the others avatar for a week. :D

    I want these wheels....

    I would think they would still be lighter than the guys running the 20" wheels. Does anyone know what the stock wheel weighs?
