I have a base V6, and am looking for a rear sway bar to run autox in F-street to get rid of a bit of understeer. Suggestions have been to run the Strano bar, but like most things suspension-wise, they are compared to the performance pack sways.
I've searched on this forum as well as the web...
FOUND - no longer needed
As the title says, I'm looking for a set of OEM 18" wheel and tires for autocross. I want to stay in F Street, so I need to stay with the 18x8 wheels. I'm looking to keep this cheap, so a little cosmetic damage is OK as long as the wheels are still sound.
I'm...
I've been looking through here, and I've seen several posts showing that the camber specs are different between the PP cars and stock. How do they get the additional camber? Is the strut different?
I'm gathering that there really isn't any adjustment to the stock camber without slotting the...
So I ran autocross a couple weeks ago for the first time, and I really enjoyed it. I wasn't really competitive, but I wasn't near last either. One thing I noticed was the car understeered a lot into corners.
First, I need to upgrade the driver. I'm carrying too much speed into the corners, and...
As the title says - I'm a total noob to this. I went to my first autox last weekend and had a blast.
I'm driving a V6 with an automatic. I know almost everyone else in this section are running either GT's or EB's, but they all seem to have the performance pack. It seems like much of the...
I have my ponies front and back plasti-dipped black, but I've seen others on here with them dipped in the Anthracite gray which is a metallic color very close to Magnetic. I'd like to change it up to this color, but I can't find it anywhere near me, and the only places I've seen it on line want...
So a couple weeks ago I hit some flying debris on the highway, and it knocked the rubber strip under the front of the splitter lose. Since then it has broken lose a couple times and I've just snapped it back in place. Today it came lose, I put it back on, and it came off within a mile. I...
My windshield washer is acting wonky - sometimes it works great and puts a nice even spray over most of the windshield. Other times (like this morning) it barely sprays 3 inches up the windshield. The pattern seems to be spread as normal, and both sides always spray the same, so it doesn't seem...
I've had the DD switchbacks in for quite a while now- as soon as the retooled ones were available.
Two days ago, my son was asking how I would be able to tell if a turn signal burnt out, because it now has the faster interior blinking rate all the time (that would normally let you know). I...
So in a couple days, my son and I are driving south to take a cruise. We're going to Port St. Lucie, FL to spend the night at a hotel, then driving the rest of the way to Miami the next morning. We live near Jacksonville, so it's only about a 4 hour drive to Port St. Lucie.
We're on a four day...
Has anyone else noticed that Pandora is staying connected better then just a week ago? I was having to reboot my phone about everyday to let sync discover it, now it is connecting every time I get in the car.
Just wondering if there was an app update that I didn't notice...
I'm taking my V6 to the local 1/8 mile track Friday. I've run it before, and when launching at about 2000 rpm, there were a couple times I had some wheel hopping. The tire pressure for that was 36 all around on the factory Goodyears.
This time I'm thinking I'd lower the pressure to about 32...
Does any one know of any CAI's coming out anytime soon? The only one for the V6 I've seen is the Airaid version. It looks good, but I always like options...
I've noticed that my IAT is pretty high. This morning it was about 8 degrees above ambient when I left home for work which is pretty...
So after I put on my axle backs, and fought (and won) the drone battle by having helmholz resonators put on (thanks Zack!), I had a rattle that was very noticeable when I was in sport mode and decelerating. At first I thought this was a transmission problem, so I brought it in to my dealer...
I just paid attention to this yesterday, and on hard acceleration, the auto shifts pretty hard and pretty fast.
But, as soon as I use the paddles, the shifts (up and down) don't seem nearly as fast nor as firm.
Has anyone else noticed this?
Not thinking there is anything wrong - just...
I have a V6 AT, that has just started rattling when I am in sport mode and engine braking. It's only noticeable when in 2nd or 1st gear, but that may be because the road noise dies away enough at that point. This was in the computer controlled sport mode, not paddles although I doubt it would...
I recently found out that there is a drag strip nearby, and they have run what you brung events. I know very little about drag racing, but I would love to be able to see what my car can do. I realize that I'll get absolutely smoked by most cars, but it still sounds like fun. Aren't there...
I've been using Pandora with no problems, then yesterday it wouldn't connect at all. I can run Pandora on my phone and play through a Bluetooth audio connection, but I lose all the steering wheel controls.
Has anyone else had this problem?
So I'm new to this sports car stuff. I have a base V6, but would like to improve the handling a bit over stock, stiffen it up in corners a bit, maybe lower it a tad. What would be the best progression to go for affordable upgrades? I've seen springs, sway bars, tower strut braces, and now the...
