Trying to find a hosting site for a avi. file now. To me it sounds like my 1986 Z24 I had back in the day with a dynomax catback,homemade CAI and hypertech chip,aw that car would run for what it was and the time period.

Wow, those wheels look great! Imitation American Racing TorqThrust II's? I know they don't come in the right size for our cars...you should enter for Riv of the Month for February. _________________ 1995 Riviera Supercharged; stock showcar...ok, not really stock, but close!

If this works it should be a avi that you can hear the exhaust on. Not the best quality since it's off my camera.

props on the rims... they look really good with the color of your car. I am anxious to see the "R" centers when you get them. That's one thing I liked about my last set is the "R" centercap.
That exhaust is huge! I thought mine was big. I like the sound tho... a little deeper than mine and even though it has the ability to make some sound (I assume), it is mellow at idle. _________________

Those rims look great on the Riv. I'm thinking of going that route whenever my new Traction TA's need replacing. I wasn't ready to spend for new wheels last winter when I needed tires. 17's are as big as I'd want to go. Do you have a link to your vendor? Are they 115mm bolt pattern, or did you settle for 114.3? I know using 114.3mm rims can be a problem. _________________ Dave G

sideways point u get the point. Also g-teched it. Using the traction control on it did 0-60 in 6.4. It'd spin em over once bog than go.lol Going to try praticing my launch with out it than practice it using the "hold brake and giver it gas just till it starts to spin method"

Just ordered me some slotted/drilled rotors front&rear. Hmmm wonder if I should paint the calipers?

definitely paint the calipers if only because it makes it neater to work on them later and easier to check the brakes. I painted mine silver, probably should have done red or blue.

Light/bright colors make it easier to spot leaks, cracks, and dirt. I tend to keep my yellow calipers cleaner because otherwise they start looking bad. _________________
