    CUTLASS Painting Year One Olds Rims

    I've got the 5658/5413 combination with tall ball joints, Fbody sway bar and Hellwig rear sway bar. Currently have QA1 single adjustable shocks, but haven't really found a good adjustment for them, so am going to go Bilstein's, since they get such good reviews. My car sits 6 1/2" to the frame...

I bought these about four years ago, since it's very difficult to find any maroon late model seats. My Cutlass originally had buckets, manual passenger...

    Floor shifter differences 3 speed versus 4 speed?

    Years ago, I converted my floor shift Cutlass from a 200C to a 2004R, I happened to find a shifter out of a 4 speed Cutlass, which made the swap easier. Fast forward 20 years, I just broke the shifter cable. When replacing it and trying to get the detents to line up, I noticed there's some...

    Hi. I'm switching headers on my 85 Cutlass, I currently have 2 1/2" pipes with an H pipe. Everything is in good shape, but since I've got to redo the pipes to the headers, I'm thinking of getting the Pypes X pipe kit (XGG10). I'm wondering how close the Pypes system is to my current setup...

    Mickey Thompson ST streets

    Hi, I recently bought some Mickey Thompson ST street tires to replace my well aged BFG Radial TA's. I bought the same size (235/60/15) but put them on different 15X7 Rims. I noticed that the Mickey Thompson's look narrower than the BFG. Anyone else running the Mickey's notice this?
