    Stock Air Filter

    Your experience prompted me to check my air box ( K&Ns installed) , and indeed I found one lug broken. My guess is that the added height of the K&N Filters is beyond the elastic range of the lugs to pull down and seal the two halves of the air box when screwed down tightly (?). Consequently , it...

    Talked to the Corvette guys last night and they spoke to the organizer ( Dustin?) yesterday, and due to the record expected turn-out , there will be no "reserving spaces". I'm still planning to get there around 5:00am and will try to hold out as long as possible, so get there as early as...

    Total disrespect......

    Yellow RC Models I got the yellows last year , and could only find red & orange this year (?). All the yellows were 49Mhz and while the boxes on this year's red & orange models indicate "27/49 Mhz", they all were 27 Mhz (?). I could not find any of these models ( this year or last) locally (...

    The Ford GT... Is Coming Back!

    Hey Guys, Don't shoot the messenger! These are not my words , but what just came out of Yahoo! News yesterday. I was fully aware that the 75 mile range was absolutely absurd.

    Supercar Sunday 10/6 - Woodland Hills

    Arya, I have (8) positive responses from our group, and I see a couple of more on this thread. And, surely we'll pick-up a few more SoCal locals . So, I think conservatively your estimate of 10-12 is a good one. BTW, thanks for taking the initiative to address ( and do something) about this...

    Dash and Interior Leather Care Question

    I've been using Lexol for years . Smells funny when you first out it on , but the odor dissipates quickly. It seems to work OK , but then again I don't have much to compare it with. Noticed that most of the "fancy" car care product suppliers ( Mother's, Meguiar's,...) that cater to sports cars...
