Re: EBay Replica Car Finds

The Vaydor is based on an Infiniti G35 coupe chassis and powertrain, although I think there is an LS swap option

Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today

if the mufflers were involved then the fabspeed costs have come into play.. that alone will make up $5k

sounds like buy it back and pick up a roller.. or put it out there and the sharks will circle quickly

Re: Shit, I think my car was totalled today

sorry to hear about the hit.. I don't have good feelings about the estimate considering the toe out of the passenger rear wheel. :|

Re: Oh nuts, leakage

it could be as simple as the drain plug caps that are clamped onto the radiator drain ports. not inconceivable that they could dry out and start to seep thru a crack. Should be able to check and if necessary replace with minimal coolant loss.

I replaced 2 of the 3 tensioners and it improved a lot. you always need to make sure the car is parked on a level surface for at least a few hours before checking th...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

In the past week I've repaired my driver door lock issue and installed a set of slightly used KONI yellows on her in place of the badly blown Bilsteins. Amazing difference. Now I just need to get a new battery cover for the key fob so it will be reliable again and I'm good. Discovered my front sway ...

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

Re: What did you do to/with your 996 today?

I checked the tire pressures and decided to raise them to the OEM specs, even though I'm running non-stock size tires (245/40, 275/40/18). I told the guy at the tire shop to set them at 35 psi all around when I had them mounted, but they were all at 32psi cold today. Set now at 36psi front/44psi rea...
