so, when pulling off the old pads on the front axle, do I need to remove those clips that look to be holding the pads in the caliper? and if so, HOW? it's been 3 years since I've done this and I seem to be retarded.

Anyone in California done this? Thanks.

I am posting this for a friend. The truck is completely bone stock and has been serviced every 3k miles with all records. It is red with a bed liner. I will get photos for those interested. It has not been listed anywhere yet so if you are interested, let me know. The owner owes 17.5k and so she...

This is a first for me. My brother in-law just called me and told me this. He gets off work, gets in his Toyota 4 Runner and starts it up, BRABRABRABRABRABRABRA (like my sound effects?). He gets out and looks under the 4 Runner to find that someone had cut out and stolen his cats! WTF?

I get this miss or studder when under boost or hard excel, usually in second gear just after it's shifted and is pulling it's hardest, kind of like it's hitting a rev limiter. And if I back out of it or were to just roll into it, I don't have it. I am about due for a fuel filter. The plugs...

Just as it says, has anyone ran a pullied Termi against either of these cars? I'd really like to know how they fair against what I consider to be the bench mark street brawler.

I recently bought an 08 Mercedes C350 for my wife (I got a really good deal). Anyway, they recommend Mobil1 oil and they recomend oil changes every 13,000 miles. My personal opinion on this is that MB is just trying to make the maintenance cost for this vehical look more apealing by saying...

I was on the freeway at 4:30 am and had an Evo that wanted to play but since it was pretty cool out (55 degrees) and I have read all the stories about 80mph kickdowns and motors going boom (I make at least 14lbs of boost), I didn't take the bait but at one point he was behind me and there was no...

Well, I almost just posted this in the L forum because it isn't a kill or a death story really, but my wife and I are cruising down coast hwy in my Lightning when I notice a red Corvette making it's way through traffic behind me. As we aproached a red light I was hoping he would make it past the...

We hit the 50,000 mile mark in my 03 L today. Not a big deal I guess. I bought her 3 years ago with 18,000 miles on the clock. I still love to drive her just as much as the first day I drove her home from Arizona. Sort of a milestone and I just wanted to tell someone. You guys are the only...

I have after market grills on my Black L that I need to re-condition or maybe paint black. I'd like to see some pics to help me make my desision if you guys out there have some. Thanks. Bill.

I'm just curious. I drive my truck every day and although I only live 3 miles from work, I then drive it around a little durring the day. When ever I drive I find that I sort of alternate between cruising around and then some times I'm just romping on the thing. Then I'm pretty much checking to...

I bought these from SilvieBolt, (great transaction by the way) I have always wanted to do the "free, remove chrome on 03 tails" mod, but wanted to have something on hand in case I screwed em up. But I am digging the way that these look on my Black L. And one from the front just...

Well, not a kill story and not really a race either but, I was on my way to Home Depot (again) and I see what looks like an AC Cobra up ahead of me and no one else on the road. I pull up to him and turn off my OD as my friend reaches over and turns off my A/C (he's getting the hang of this) so...

Parked on State street in downtown Carlsbad. All I've got to say is WOW.

Ticket for window tint on the Lightning. Can I just pay a fine and not remove it? I got the "no front plate" one also but that I can mount up and get signed off I figure. I was pulled over for excessive speed and the CHP just gave me a warnning for the speed and wrote me for the other two...

So last night I am coming back from Blockbuster and I pull onto the freeway on one of my favorite on ramps. It is only one exit away from where I need to be so I usually do a little 0 to whatever blast and then get off. I get a little sideways going up the onramp and then get into it full...

I just installed these parts on my truck and thought I would post about the results in case anyone was looking for feedback. The install was smooth. I used the lower hole (less drop) on the shackles and so I think it netted me about a 5" drop (on my 03). That with one coil cut off my stock...

I have an idea of how I think I will do this (in my garage with a floor jack and two sets of jack stands) but I was wondering if there is any detailed instructions any where. Thanks.

Is there an opinion? seems like most use the Hotchkis.

I removed the front two cats today. So I've got the stock manifolds going down to the two large cats in the mid and into a 3" X-pipe with dual 3" Magnaflows and 4" tips. It sounds pretty good , But..... I sure wish I could get the truck to just sound like a Terminator with a simular setup.

Pretty much what it says. I have a smog test station I go to that will not do the visual. But, will I still pass the sniffer test? And, my next question is; will I get any "check engine" light by removing the back two cats? Thanks.

A friend of mine just gave me his (and his clear corners) off of his F150. Do these come with a seperate wiring harness? He couldn't remember. He knew his driving lights did but wasn't sure if the head lites did. Or, do they just plug in? He said that they had a built in ballast. Thanks...

I installed my panhard bar and it made a big difference in the way the rear end feels around corners but now it seems to have made the front end "feel" a little mushy. What do you guys suggest I do to tighten up the front end? I have cut stock coils up there right now and caster bolts. I am...

I head over to my local BMW dealer to buy some parts to fix my wifes 325iT because unlike most Beemer owners I know that they are very easy to work on and it's the labor that gets you hard while bent over at the service counter. Anyway, we pull in to the parking lot in my Lightning and pull...
