DTC P0106 and P0118 appeared after car been parked for a month ??

Well after parking my "13", placed the car cover and a battery tender on it for about a month I get in it to fire it up and get the "Check Engine" Light on and it's running like crap. When I parked it a month ago it ran like a champ, WTH? So I put my scan tool on it and get the P...

Not quite like Stock, but it's hard to disguise the cam.

2013 weekend driver

Hey gang I think I'm pretty much done with all the necessary mods. Now it's probably time to do some appearance mods like some black hood vents? And definitely un-locking the Siver box (OE Radio). But after a couple failed recordings of trying to capture the exhaust note thru the Black Widow muffler...

Re: brake/rotor advise

Hey Bill, thanks for the Great advise and direction as always. Do you know if the OEM pads on the PPVs are semi metalic since they work so good and create alot of dust or could they be a Ceramic /Carbon blend of some sort?

Re: Anybody running Pedders suspension?

Yeah it's a bit on the low side so I had to fab up some "scrape rails" out of 1" square tubing about 3ft. Long bolted to the frame section of the body to keep the parking lot speed bumps from ripping off my cut-outs lol.

Techna Fit brake hose kit #4500

I have read some posts with this hose up-grade kit, but wasn't real clear if it fits our OEM Calipers or the performance "SS" calipers? Also there's a mention of replacing the oem brackets as well. Can't we just drill out or modify our brackets to support these new hoses? Or do we need to ...

CO161-5A code on scanner

Well I got this code the other night after I took my Drag radials off and put a set of stock tires and wheels on the rear to see how they handle the additional HP. With Traction control off it just smokes the tires thru 1st and 2nd gear and finally hooks up thru the middle of 3rd gear. And then I tu...

Re: Techna-Fit Braided Stainless brake hoses

I know this post was a few years ago Bill but I posted a new thread on "brakes not releasing" a few days ago, and it's leaving us scratching our heads. And with the oem hoses having 105K on them some have said the inside of the hoses could be disintegrating and be acting like a check valve...
