I'm allowed to date whoever I want. As long as she doesn't find out. If she does find out I probably won't have a Corvette anymore!Anyway, that trick works, but only for a little while. I guess I'm going to have to wire it in to the antenna when I have a few minutes to pull the radio out. At least a...

AndyLT1

Thanks, Colonel. I'll try that and let everyone know if it works.Andy

AndyLT1

Yeah, my wife likes cassettes.

AndyLT1

I tried searching already because I thought I saw it before on this site. I want to use a cassette adapter for my Ipod, but the tape deck continuously tries to auto reverse the adapter. I thought there was a way to set the tape deck for a "cleaning" mode. That way you can run a cleaner thr...

AndyLT1

Don't need the snows. Never have a problem even with the crappy stock tires. And I have my ZR2 if we need to get through really deep stuff. I ordered the Traction T/A's. Hopefully I'll get them on this week. Thanks for everyone's input.Andy

AndyLT1

The Z06 is a lot of fun. Too bad it's winter so it's in hibernation.I think I'm going to get those tires. I've had good luck with BFG's in the past. Thanks for all the input.Andy

AndyLT1

Here's a pic of my Z06. A little bit sideways trying to get all I could at the finish line. I see a blue Z06 in the background of you sig. pic. Apparently that pic I posted is pretty small. Sorry, don't know how to make it any bigger.

Thanks for the replies. I don't think I'll buy any Goodyear product again. I've had a couple bad experiences with them. Anyway, Tirerack has three different Traction T/A's. H, T, and V. Is there any difference in the tire other than the speed rating?Thanks,Andy

AndyLT1

I was thinking about replacing the stock Goodyear's with these. My only concern is that they are directional. That means I couldn't cross the tires if I felt it was necessary. Anyone have any experience with this?Thanks,Andy

AndyLT1

Cool, thanks everyone!Andy

AndyLT1

Anyone know where the sensor, or sensors, are for the outdoor temperature? Just wondering how they do it. If it's mounted under the car it will pick up heat from the pavement. If it's between the body and the interior it would absorb heat from the body. Especially on my black car. Not very important...

AndyLT1

I was hoping for a Firebird too. Oh well. I'll take what I can get.

AndyLT1

Nice! I can appreciate that one.

AndyLT1

I just bought an AWD Vibe. At lower speeds it seems to have enough power. At highway speeds is when I notice the lack of power. Other than that I love it. It has plenty of room inside, we just moved a dresser and a bunch of other stuff for a friend. I would definitely recommend the car.

AndyLT1

Hey tnpartsguy!I guess I'm too late. I tried to join yours, but it's full.Andy

AndyLT1

While attempting to remove a slice of burnt toast from your toaster using a metal fork, you're electrocuted.I thought I was smarter than that. Oh well.

AndyLT1

I have the Xact visor mount and the FM signal it puts out is great. I can even have it in my car in the garage and tune my stereo in the house to that station and listen to it inside.

AndyLT1

How fast is it? I've run a best of 13.2 @ 110 mph in the 1/4. If you look at that trap speed it should be in the mid 12's but the rear end isn't very happy with the extra power. When it was stock except for the cold air intake and cat-back exhaust I ran 13.5 @ 102. Then I did some head work, a cam, ...

AndyLT1

Yeah, black is my favorite. I need to get some better pics of the Firebird. I've got some that I'll try to scan when I can get to my buddy's place. I have some pics of the engine out of the car when I did some work to it a couple years ago. Those pics at the track are about 5 years ago I guess. Mayb...

And another.

Old pic of the car at the track. Don't have anything better right now.

Toolguy asked for pics of my Firebird awhile ago. So, here are the pics I have. I coudn't figure out how to post more than one in each post. Here's my truck first.

AndyLT1

When my Firebird was stock it got 29mpg on the highway and ran 14.1 in the 1/4. Too bad you can't buy one new anymore.

AndyLT1

You said you need a place in western New York? I live in Rochester and there is Emerson Collision near me that has done awesome work on a couple of my friends wrecked cars. Not sure how far you are from here though.

AndyLT1

I know we have a few NASCAR fans here. Anyone know of any free fantasy NASCAR games? Daytona's only a few weeks away!

AndyLT1

The GTO is going to be on that platform also.

AndyLT1

Even if that "vortex" thing works. The throttle body plate will disrupt the swirling airflow, especially at part throttle.

AndyLT1

I like it! And I'm a die-hard GM guy. If they don't come out with a new Camaro or Firebird that is as good looking as the Challenger I might switch sides. That car is sweet!

AndyLT1

That "vortex" thing was a big deal on ZR2.com for awhile. Then, all the people that had put them on their trucks seamed to have malfunctioning mass air flow sensors. Needless to say they got rid of those damn things fast!

AndyLT1

Sorry, I can't figure out how to post the only two pics I could find of the Firebird. They're not very good anyway. They were taken at the track. I guess I need to find a free pic hosting site. Any suggestions? That's cool that you might have those smoked covers figured out. I'm glad you're a perfec...

AndyLT1

Thanks for the info! I'll have to pick up that horn soon. And I'll let you know when I'm ready to get those covers. Any luck on the smoked ones yet? I think those would look sweet on my abyss Vibe. If not I'll be getting the clear ones.

AndyLT1

It says in your sig. that you have an American style horn. Is it a horn from another make of car? Is it a direct replacement? The horn on this thing is about the wimpiest I've ever heard! I'd like to replace mine too. Also, I'm thinking about your foglight covers, they look good!

AndyLT1

Well, no pics for now. THe wife has the car at work. It's hers since I have a work van. But we'll mainly drive the Vibe unless we're going two different places.As far as mods, it will stay pretty much stock. I do need to get the rear windows tinted, though. I've got the Firebird for modifying. I gue...

AndyLT1

I would take some pics, but of course it's raining here now. Normally there would be snow on the ground, but it's been 40 degrees here this week. Maybe I'll wash it Saturday and take some pics then.

AndyLT1

After hearing the wimpy horn our new Vibe has I really need to look into something like that.

AndyLT1

After a couple months of researching and waiting for the dealer to locate me one, we picked up our Vibe tonight. Gave them the 2000 Jeep Cherokee. Our Vibe is Abyss monotone, AWD, preferred package, sunroof and fog lights. The first thing I did was reprogram the locks so they don't lock or unlock au...

AndyLT1

It's probably good that you don't do this at home. It might get a little bloody!

AndyLT1

I wish I had the time to waste making things like that. It was pretty funny though.

AndyLT1

I don't believe in anything but Chuck!

AndyLT1

I'm assuming it is a problem with starting the engine when it is still hot from a previous trip. Do the '06's have this issue too? I'm picking mine up next week.

AndyLT1

When you two post here, are you sitting at seperate computers in the same room, take turns on the same computer, or are you nowhere near each other? Just wondering if you are talking to each other while posting here.

AndyLT1

Wow, I didn't realize Chuck was such a God! Maybe we should start a religion based on his teachings.

AndyLT1

That's terrible! What would possess someone to do such a horrible thing to Vette?

AndyLT1

That white does look good. But I'm still getting a black AWD monotone.

AndyLT1

In New York State it's a law that anyplace that sells motor oil has to accept used oil for free. I guess it's not like that everywhere?

AndyLT1

So what about with a tonneau cover? Is that better than no cover with tailgate up?

AndyLT1

Dude, that is hysterical!

AndyLT1

When I was testing an AWD I was very impressed with the system. It was pretty slippery on the street so I punched it from a stop and I felt the front tires spin and then I could feel the rears start pushing to get me going. I can't wait to buy one now.

AndyLT1

There are a couple Vibes at the dealership with the sport package and it is listed on the factory window sticker. I didn't think it was a dealer option. I thought it came from the factory?
