Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

    Painting rotors

    So - I bought new rotors and pads for the wife's van (not a GP...I know...stick with me...), and I would like to avoid having the non-friction areas rust and look like crap. I bought regular type rotors, and not zinc coated or whatever, so I know the non friction surfaces will rust and look...

    Car sounds like a prop plane...

    Okay, sooo....I think my car is trying to impress me by doing its best impersonation of a world war II era fighter plane. As I'm driving, it almost sounds like a propeller plane. The sound follows the vehicle speed, not the RPMs. The car still acts the way it always has - no change in how it...

    Post Whoring Thread 2.0- DON'T DELETE THIS ONE

    Here's a picture of me with Dean Karnazes and my oldest son. Dean ran across the country, and came right through our town, so we were able to go out and meet him. He's truly incredible, and was amazing with the kids and stuff. He was disappointed when we had to leave...lol

    Nice! I have the logo from my first half marathon with the date I ran it and 13.1 for the number of miles in a half marathon. This is on my right calf. When I do my first full, I'll get the logo from that marathon with the date and 26.2 on my right calf. If I ever do an ultra marathon (any...

    Difference in struts

    I'm not doing this anytime soon (won't be until I get my tax return), so I'm just doing a bit of research right now. My suspension is starting to clunk, and it's a bit bouncy, so I'm looking at doing my LCAs and shocks/struts next spring. My question is more about the struts - what is the...

    What should I replace?

    Since I got the car about a year and a half ago, I'm losing oil. Not at an alarming rate, but I typically need to add a quart between oil changes. I am not seeing more than a drop or two of oil at a time on the garage floor under where I park my car, so it's not like it's gushing or anything...

    No vibration, but a clunk when turning left...

    ...would this be the hub assembly on the front passenger side, or is it something else, like a control arm bushing/ball joint? Thoughts? Thanks in advance. Oh - '01 GT, 99,000 miles.

    Question about fuel filler door...

    '01 GP GT...It seems that my fuel filler door is only held on by one screw or something. The thing just seems loose and wobbly, and I hear it when I hit bumps and what not...it also tends to pull towards the top, leading me to believe that there's something missing...how are these things held...
