    Bench Bleeding

    Here is what I did without a vise: Got to NAPA and get their universal bench bleed kit. Take the MC out of the car. Hook the kit up by hooking up the plastic fittings and tubes and then placing the tubes back into the fluid reservoir. Put the MC on the floor in front of a step or something...

    Help me choose my new seat color

    The ashtray lid actually matches the rest of the console really well in normal light. I guess the flash of the camera makes it appear lighter for some reason. Thanks for the responses. So far Black is ahead 3-0.

    Got My Saleen SC Wheels

    Could you measure the center cap? Also, do you think a set of those pony center caps from bullit wheels would fit? I am looking at getting these in chrome and I am not sure I like the center cap. Thanks

    cruise control adjustment

    Put your hand up there, grab it, and pull it in the direction you need it to move. The housing has ridges that will sound like a zip tie when you move it. The ridges hold it in place where you need it to be. If I remember right, you want the button pressed in completely when your foot is OFF...

    Q about 50resto parts.How good is the material quality?

    I ordered a set of side view mirrors from them a while back to replace my badly faded ones (one had a crack so I decided to replace them both instead of getting them painted). After about a month both of them faded and looked like crap. I called them and after some pushing I got them to take...

    car alarm time...

    I would advise against a flashing LED that you can see in the car from a distance. Sometimes that screams out to an experienced theif "Hey look, I have expensive stuff in here that I am trying to protect." An experienced thief can break into a car and disable an alarm very quickly. I say get...

    GAS IS UP AGAIN! RANT Thread, WHO's FAULT IS IT?

    Once again, if the market was actually a true "free market" the price of gas would be much higher in the US than it is today. Also, Gas prices will never go back to what we were used to only 5 or so years ago. They will continue to go up no matter what party in in office. Just a side...

    GAS IS UP AGAIN! RANT Thread, WHO's FAULT IS IT?

    Demand does not increase beyond supply. When the oil supply is tightened the price goes up. Demand stays the same. But those who demand gas ONLY at a price of 2.89 (people with low incomes) cannot afford to buy gas at 3.19; therefore, they no longer demand gas OR they demand much less gas.

    GAS IS UP AGAIN! RANT Thread, WHO's FAULT IS IT?

    OPEC and "the politicians" control the supply. Consumers control the demand. I never said it was a free market. I think that if it was a truely free market, gas prices would be much HIGHER. But it can't really ever be a free market because of the high cost of pulling oil out of the ground.

    GAS IS UP AGAIN! RANT Thread, WHO's FAULT IS IT?

    I'm not sure I follow your mouse trap reference. Demand is always in the equation. (It is more difficult to see/explain they way it works when dealing with something like oil, as opposed to "widgets"). If someone did say "whoops out of oil" and go against the overwhelming demand for oil, the...

    GAS IS UP AGAIN! RANT Thread, WHO's FAULT IS IT?

    DEMAND That is why gas prices are high. We demand gas, they supply gas. We are lucky this is not a true free economy because I am sure most of us would continue to buy and use gas at the same rate with prices well into the 4s and 5s. I won't complain until our prices are higher than those...

    Question about quad shock

    Could the reason that it is so easy to move around be that the shock has no more pressure in it? This is asumming that the shock is loaded while the car sits on the ground.

    Question about quad shock

    Should I be able to grab it while my car is sitting on the ground and wiggle it on the mounting bolt . I have been having a "clunking" noise going over bumps for a while now and I am starting to think this quad shock is toast.

    For people with gauges installed below the radio...

    Build your own out of fiberglass. I could do it, its pretty easy. I built some speaker pods for my doors with it and they came out very nice. I think something like you need would be even easier.
