That's exactly what happened. The intense heat used to repair separated the chrome from the aluminum. It requires the entire wheel be rechromed. I was quoted $400 plus shipping both ways....

Nope. If I run my finger over the affected area, it almost feels like the chrome is bubbling and my picking on it with my fingernail, it would flake off. But don't want to do this.....

I did not take pics before shipping, only have some still on the car. Hindsight. Yes, they called and sent me a very grainy video of the wheel rotating on a machine. I could not discern anything from it. Again, I'm past questioning them about the damage. My issue is with the repair and how...

They said one wheel was cracked. No pics received. Honestly I have nothing to prove what they said was true. And I have to ask, if it was cracked, would I have noticed it while still on the vehicle? I had to turn a brow but had no choice but to believe them. But this is not the issue and I...

If you are considering having your wheels widened (or narrowed), this is information you need to hear before proceeding. I needed two wheels narrowed and had read many positive comments here about this company, so I removed my wheels and shipped them. The first thing I was told was that one...

Now that you mention this, maybe I should have brought up mine. Maiya was my husky. We had to put her down suddenly and unexpectedly. I will never forget her and for the first time in my life, dedicated my car to her. So I completely understand your feelings.

I currently own the second of identical twin 2008 GT500's I've owned. The first has sentimental value as it is the first car my then 16 year old daughter drove. I had to sell it and offered it to my mechanic, who less than 10k miles before, built its engine. The timing wasn't right for him...

And to confuse the issue further, according to LL Gen II, the following analog channels with corresponding wire colors are: 1 White 2 Orange 3 Yellow 4 Green 5 Blue 6 Purple 7 Red Completely different from above. How's that for crazy? Willie

The firewire instructions say orange for the input and blue for the ground. Voltage = 0. Then SCT says to connect the system ground wire (black). Voltage still = 0. I look at my x4 users manual pdf file and it says this in quotes and caps: "YOU WILL ONLY BE USING THE RED AND BLACK WIRES -...

I need a little assistance with a small matter from anyone in the Corpus Christi area. Please message me. Thanks.

The primary objective on my car from the very beginning of ownership was to never do anything I cannot return to original. As non-original as heated seats are in this model, I'd like to stick with the buttons that came in an S197. In fact, I already have the correct control panel. Since I...

Are these a press fit? Can they be removed and shortened easily without taking the intake off? Or even better would be to thread the openings...

So this design has one heat setting. I do not know what this setting is. Is it too hot? Or maybe not warm enough? I'm not going to put this system in only to be disappointed with it, so I'm going with the design (and parts) from my ute, which has three heat settings. I just acquired the...

I agree, BUT as the end user, you should know all the disadvantages of it. I never see a discussion of pros and cons so I assume most are not in the know. If you don't drive your car much, stay away from it unless you upgrade all degradable parts to be compatible with alcohol. It is...

I hear ya, but even back in the day when these timeless classics were basically worthless, I never even saw a Boss 429. I'm sure that was different in Michigan. In West Texas where I grew up, we hardly saw any muscle cars. I was lucky to have found the Boss 302. Bought it for $1400. Willie

Sweet... but I'd rather find and buy back my 70 Boss 302 when it was mine as a teenager. So many memories. Spoilers and shaker but no slats. I believe someone on this website owns her today... or did....

When I decide to, I'll be selling a set of Alcoa 2008 GT500KR wheels for a whole lot less than that.

I received the center console temp control panel with seat buttons today. Looking over the schematic, I was semi-shocked to see these are off / on only, no way to select heat level. Frankly, I did not know anyone who made such a cheap system. My wife's 2004 T-Bird at least has a low and high...

Ever an option? I know 2007 - 2008 they were not, optional on all Mustangs except. How about 2009 - 2014? I'll be adding factory heat as my body, especially my back, is giving out and I love having them in my semi-daily driver ute. I went out datalogging yesterday evening and all I could...

Here's what's happening. When adaptive is left Off, the A/F ratio is typically spot on, verified by datalogs, week after week, month after month. With it On, the difference between commanded and actual ratios widens with time. i.e. commanded is 11.8, actual is 11.1. I assume the ECM is...

Well, I was hoping for one crack too, but didn't work out that way. My last pass was a few years prior to my current setup with a 2.3L TVS at 19-psig boost. Ran high 10s at 130 mph, trapping at redline in third gear (tall tires and 3.31's). Then I changed my setup to include the 4.2 LC with a...

Wrong person to ask. The local NHRA track, Tucson Dragway often seen on Roadkill, is only 10 minutes from my house BUT they will not allow my car to run. They say I need a minimum 6-point roll cage, 5-point safety harness, and an NHRA license. They seem to think my car will run 9's, which is...

To add one comment, once a flash programmer has a tune written onto it and it's uploaded to your car, there is no way to reverse it out of your car to "read" it. So who and what tune you have currently is as alien as UFO's. We will never know. I have been in a position where I had to reverse...

Good deal. The 315's, although a little tight, work well. My wheels are 18 x 10. Willie

Been using this size (NT05R) exclusively since 2018. These keep me from going sideways with ~950 rwhp. If this is a new size for your car, adjust your Tire Revolutions per Mile to 758 in your tune.
