    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    The Z26 will certainly dust a lot less, but they will also bite less. And certainly will take a major hot on the heat capacity, last of which a lot of us are probably not concerned with.

    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    Same here. Putting them on this evening or tomorrow. This spring has been painfully slow coming.

    Just paid over $100 for an OEM air filter

    These cotton gauze type filters will always filter worse than OEM and a few hp (if any) is only gained at the very top of the rev range. While you are getting inferior filtering on every drive. Sure they are cleanable, but you have to buy a cleaning and oiling kit, spend time washing and...

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    .........I hope there is a muffler on the loud side and it doesn't stick out from under the bumper like the Corsa, and doesn't throw codes, like CPD. Anxiously waiting for something that better fits my needs..

    Did you name your Blackwing?

    I nickname cars really only as a matter of convenience, to make it easier to refer to in conversation with my wife. It is never anything passionate, though I am certainly passionate about cars. My ats-v was "V", her X5 is "X", our explorer was "X", my blackwing is "blackwing". I hate that...

    CT4-V Mirror Caps

    Sure did. First attached them with duct tape to make sure there is no whistling before I stick them on with double sided tape. There were no issues and I stuck them on. Thank you!

    CT4-V Mirror Caps

    There are videos on youtube for ATS-V cap replacement. It is exactly the same part, so the process is exactly the same. Important note is to do it in warm weather or heat up the mirror with a hair dryer to pop it off. I made a mistake of trying to pry it off in the relative cold and broke the...

    Interesting test of JB4

    Its the other way around. Tapout put more development time into their maps (they claim) to get more out of the platform. Whether Tapout ended up with a safer map, that I don't know. They have been at JB4 development for a while so I would expect that they got it right. I suspect that the Tapout...

    CT4-V AWE-Tuning.com ready to make full exhaust kits

    Not everyone likes the sound of a muffler less exhaust. I don't. I also don't like the backfires that it produces, though l love the mild burbling. Even a small muffler can remove the rasp, while retaining the overall volume. The problem is that you don't know what you will end up with until its...

    Trunk insulation source

    Does it cut down the exhaust noise? That would NOT be what I want.

    Theft Deterrent

    Plenty of manual atsvs and camaros have gotten stolen. MT is not a deterrent

    CT4-V Open exhaust valves without burbles/pops?

    Corsa with the valves open sounds decent enough. Its louder than stock but a bit too raspy. Stock sounds deeper. With the valves closed Corsa sounds like a broken vacuum cleaner. It is horrible. It might as well be a valveless exhaust as I don't think anyone will ever close these valves. I think...

    Need some input - check Engine light again!

    Assuming your issue is fixed, as a buyer looking at CarFax........It would not really concern me that the record shows multiple service visits. If it showed engine or transmission or other major part replacement, yes that would be a value subtractor to me. If the car gets bought back as a...

    Absolute Dearth of All-Season Tires for CT5-V Blackwing

    That's pushing it. With a 5mm spacer, you probably have half of your original thread engagement on the lug nuts.

    Has anyone owned both 4vBW and 5vBW?

    I have ridden in the back seat of my 4 multiple times with a 70lb dog in the center seat next to me. It's fine. If you are not expecting a vast space in front of you (and why would you in a car?), you will be fine there. There is nothing to apologize for.

    Amazon (ZL1 Style) Jack Pad on CT4

    I have them and used them with the atsv. It's a pain in the ass to set up so I hardly ever use them. I use the round aluminum lift pads with thin walls. Even that barely fits in the back. The ct4 is the same.

    Scroll down and you will see that it's a full glossary, listing all possible options. It's a bit hidden if you are looking at it on your phone. No one is lying and there is no conspiracy.

    Scheduled maintenance? CT4V BW

    Please don't ask a salesman/saleswoman whether you should buy "something" from him/her. The owners manual contains the answers to your question. At 22k miles, the car is due for a passenger compartment air filter (depending how much you use the HVAC system). A tire rotation every 7.5k miles, Oil...

    Used Value Trend

    It does seem like a great price. If I haven't already bought my 4bw, I would be looking at it. It has every single thing I would have wanted. The engine compartment is all scratched up so it has seen some work, but worth a look.
