My 1LE Camaro with a 6MT did not have AFM, but the engine still has the same lifters in it, and they can fail.

I love some of the classic Buicks. Placing the CT4 into the Buick family makes sense with it's poor sales under Cadillac. I hope it retains it's current character, but they really should bring back some of the 80's Buick GNX Logos. This would look dope as hell on the LF4.

I do the same. Lol. My girlfriend was none the pleased when she went looking for it. Uh... trust me, you don't want it back. I'll just run to Target real quick... A syringe works really well too for removing old fluid...

Right, I remember all the differential bracing that was required on the Getrag unit. Similar to the S2000 diff issues. That's the only thing I can think of that would cause damage, other than excessive heat.

I can imagine with the IRS and proper tires you can get bad wheel hop.

Yeah, that's quite odd.

What do you mean "shut down" ? Is this something beyond the fuel cutoff?

Seems like a motor or diff mount. Does it do it under load or de-accelerating? While turning or braking? I'd definitely look to get this investigated either at a shop or the dealership. If I had to guess, I'd say it's something in the driveshaft or differential areas.

Will do!

To get this thread back on topic of magnesium wheels, here's some fun magnesium facts! Magnesium (Mg) is a mineral that is essential for healthy muscles, nerves, bones and blood sugar levels. Not getting enough magnesium in your diet can increase the chance of health problems such as: heart...

I just want as much meat as I can fit.... Yeah, I know how that sounds, I stand by it. Unfortunately Bridgestone doesn't make a 285/35/18. Sigh I'm trying to find a good 200tw tire, that doesn't look stretched on a 10" or 10.5" wheel. I have seen pictures of the 275's and they don't look bad...

It's a street car. Going down to a 30 profile is about a 3% difference. I've considered doing a 265/35 and 285 or 95/35. That variance is about 1% I'd really like the new RE-71RZ

Any rubbing issues? I'm ready to pull the trigger on 9.5" F & 10.5" rear Apex wheels, but there isn't a good 200tw 285/30/18, and I'd really like more tire than a 265 up front.
