  1. Need a shop or mechanic to rebuild '78 Trans Am engine

    My '78 Trans Am WS6/W72 has a bad rod bearing. Looking for recommendations for someone in the Phoenix area to pull, rebuild and reinstall.
  2. Automotive privacy by brand

    There are 1 or 2 threads about how to minimize in Mustangs. Interesting to see where other makers rank on a scale of "only very creepy" to "Creepiest of Super Creepy" From: Think of Your Modern Car or Truck as Void of Privacy Mozilla studied 23 automotive brands that are sold in the US and...
  3. Radiator for '78 TransAm WS6

    I have a '78 Trans Am WS6 I special ordered back in the day from a future AZ governor. LoL It finally needs a new radiator. Want to go Aluminum but will stash the factory one somewhere in case rebuilding it someday is worth the expense for collector value. This one looks good on paper...
  4. Looking for 1st hand input for central AZ shops to do ceramics on multiple cars.

    I might consider applying any (even pro) products myself BUT doubt I could do a great job on prep which makes or breaks the results. So looking for shop names in Central AZ from members who have actually had ceramic done there and are still glad they did, preferably for a long time.
  5. Which Tesla?

    No Hate. Just finally in a situation where adding an EV for around town is appealing. Didn't take long to figure out that Tesla is way ahead of the rest. But which model? Acceleration was a major factor, so was 90% certain I would order an S Plaid if I liked everything else about the Model S...
  6. intermittent clutch grabbiness

    My wife puts more miles on the GT than I do. I often go weeks between driving it while she does almost daily. I've noticed that when I drive it several days in a row, it would gradually develop a very slight grabbiness after a few days. My wife would notice it too. But after she has driven it...
  7. Going thru old magazines

    Was going thru boxes never opened after my last move many decades ago. Many car magazines (I subscribed to them all). Thought I would post this Mach 1 result page from Car & Driver February 1975. OCRed PDF included (don't count on OCR accuracy - small, old font, freebee OCR) Fun fact (not)...
  8. Axil TRACKR Blu Earmuffs

    Bought his and hers Axil TRACKR Blu Earmuffs for race tracks, shooting, etc.. Ear protection that allows normal conversation. Pairs to phones for music and phone calls via blue-tooth button and blue-tooth volume control on left ear piece. Pretty compact when not in use. Seems well designed and...
  9. Car confused about battery level?

    The car has a mistaken idea that the battery is low. If I get in and don't start immediately, within a minute or two will display a warning that the car is turning off to save the battery. But the battery is fully charged. When the battery was replaced about a year ago, I went thru the...
  10. APEX SM-10s + PS4s leak air?

    Saw this in another thread: Anyone else losing air from PS4s on Apex SM-10s? Can't tell from that post if this was a mounting problem or if leaks were only while tracking or maybe marginal width compatibility or ????
  11. TPMS battery life questions

    I want to put new TPMS in a set of new wheels. With prices all over the map even for so-called OEM, is there any way to know what is genuine and just as important how long the batteries will last? Is the reason some are cheaper is they've been sitting on a shelf for 9-10 years? And what is the...
  12. Recommendations for someone to paint calipers in Phoenix area?

    Years ago I painted my calipers with G2 Velocity Blue paint to match my painted stripes, mirror caps, etc.. The bad news was the paint was not as smooth as I would like. The perverted good news was the factory nickel PP wheels had such small spaces between spokes and the dark blue in shadows...
  13. Order tires from Costco for delayed mounting?

    I have a set of 19x10 Apex wheels on order with expected delivery in early May. Going to run Michelin PS4s like I have on my factory wheels (just different sizes). Costco has a $150/set discount on Michelin thru May 12th (or about). Discount is for purchase with mounting. I can buy a set online...
  14. 2018+ rear bumper on 2016?

    Its looking like my rear bumper will be repainted (lady ran into it at a red light). The quote is a little over $1k with paint matching including the Velocity Blue painted stripes. Can a 2018+ REAR bumper be installed on a 2016 (with or without different attachment parts)? And if yes, what...
  15. Secure driver accessible gun storage for S550

    There are some model specific solutions, usually for console or glove box but I haven't found any for an S550. So, what are some "make the best of things" options. Needs to be hard as hell to remove from car or break into. Needs to NOT be a PIA to lock up gun when not carrying and to retrieve...
  16. So, I'm better off NOT buying things at Harbor Freight?

    I just returned a metric and SAE socket organizer because they were too tall for the drawers in the cabinet. When I got home, I had this email:
  17. Wall mounted garage door openers.

    I was planning to replace an overhead opener with a wall mount. The old opener is over 10 years old and clearly on its last legs. I like the idea of an easier installation, basically just slide the wall opener onto one end of the torsion spring shaft (not sure terminology) and bolt the opener...
  18. Pros and cons of 19x10 ET35 vs ET40 square on PP1?

    I was deciding between two different 19x10 ET40 wheels but found some ET35s that I like. I understand that ET35s will extend out 5mm farther and have 5mm more clearance on the inside. Since a 5mm spacer can turn an ET40 into an ET35, ET40s seems to provide the most flexibility. Which kind of...
  19. Need to see any Apex anthracite wheels central AZ

    I need to see ANY Apex wheel in anthracite in person. Apex stopped making SM-10s in silver. So, I need to see what their anthracite looks like in real life. Internet pictures claiming to be anthracite Apex wheels are all over them map between light and dark. Plus even a perfect pic like Apex...
  20. Anyone have the number for the McDonalds hot coffee lawyer?

    I need to sue US General. I'm probably more pissed than the lady with a hot lap so thinking 8 digits. I picked up a top chest for my roller cabinet (pics below). Did my due diligence to make sure I could remove the single use handles and slap magnetic tool organizers on the side. Downloaded the...
