    CT4-V 4BW to C8, tempted

    I have had 63k wonderful miles in my 23' 4BW, but lately I have been very tempted at another and looking at a 25' C8 3LT Z51 with MagnaRide and front lift. Been doing the research regarding long term reliability, ownership and maintenance cost, as well as overall comfort and other issues. It...

    How long do you wait after starting the car to move it off?

    The engine does not care if its sitting idling warming up or starting to move down the road. As long as you don't cold start and go directly to a 0-60 performance times, no need to let it warm up. It will warm up just fine driving it normally.

    CT4-V Front rotors warping

    Make sure the lug nuts are evenly torqued in a star pattern. I have seen rotors warp due to uneven or poorly torqued wheels. The most common cause of warpage is uneven heating and cooling on the rotor. Stopping hard and holding on the brakes for extend period while they cool can lead to warping.

    CT4-V Girodisc brake job + general maintenance at 61K miles

    The rear pads lasted almost through the second set of fronts. I did my rears last summer and have about 75% left. There was no shortage when I bought my rear pads. I may need to buy a set to keep on hand to avoid downtime. Even with the stock alignment, the inside edge will wear first. You...

    CT4BW's Turning Off - Safety Risk

    I have my car back, GM and the shop service techs seem convinced there was a can bus communication interruption cased by an unidentified OBD2 port accessory that was connected to the car at the time. Its possible, so for now all accessory's that may or may not have been attached will remain off...

    CT4BW's Turning Off - Safety Risk

    Well Darn, add me to the list. Driving home Wednesday evening I lost electronic braking and the car went into 25mph limp mode. CEL hard on with U0121, U2418, U2419 codes. After pulling over and letting the car come to a full sleep, restarting still in limp mode but the brakes were back, I...

    Scenic drive home from Mt Wil...er, Mexico

    Two things, the PDR camera has some zoom to it, they were not as close as they appeared, I don't tailgate. When following the bikes, I was just cruising and enjoying the drive, not trying to apply any pressure at all. Secondly, I will never pass on a double yellow just to pass someone.

    Watch the TPC code for replacement tires

    I replaced mine with non TPC spec, just regular aftermarket PS4S's. I cant say if it was due to the OEM tires being warn our not, but the new tires are super quiet, much quieter than I recall the OEM tires being even when new, also turn in is way faster. Could just be because they are new vs...
