I got a few specs of bondo on my paint, both catalyzed and uncatalyzed, I was doing a ttop conversion and it got all over the place, how can i get it off without wrecking the finish? I tried a claybar, but it only smears it and when i rub it hard, it feels like the paint will rip off.

Sears was very unprofessional when I went and I had to wait there 5 hours when they had maybe 2 cars in back and 5 mechanics. I am glad they went out of business, I think they were just lazy. I will take my car for an alignment next time i do shocks or other suspension work, I want to get the...

Thanks for the replies. The sears shop closed by me, so I can't go back. The steering wheel isn't in the wrong position, it just isn't centered rotation wise if you know what i mean. Say for example on a regular car you hold the wheel like (-) to go straight, on mine, you hold it like this...

I just realized, i ruined a lot of my clothes over the past few months working on my car. I was wondering if there's any trick to get grease stains off. A lot of the clothes have already been washed and still have stains. I should probably change my habits but who knows. I also have a hoodie...

I bought a 32 mm swaybar (1le front) for my 97z28, Should I use poly endlinks, I already bought a set of energy suspension (poly, 15$ for two, ouch) but am worried they may squeek too much, then again i want the best handeling, The bushings appear to be a black poly or rubber, I can't tell...

I agree that that would work but I am a little worried that I won't go exact distances. If i can recall, last time I messed with my tie rod ends, they were seized so tight that i gave up trying to break them loose.

I have a 97 z28 camaro. I hit a curb and broke my rim and bent my lca. I replaced both of those. It is possible that my spindle is bent as well. Well, I went to Sears and they aligned my car. Apparently, they were lazy and didnt make my steering wheel straight on. It is like (/) instead of (-)...

I got it on the highway a day or two ago and i guess it did pretty good. I filled it up and drove 50 miles highway with the cruise set at 65. The needle was past full and didnt move the entire time so i probably got 20 mpg or more which isnt bad. I am torn apart whether or not to change the o2s...

I was just wondering if there are any signs of dirty injectors. I usually drop in a bottle of injector cleaner every so often but never noticed any diff. I tried lucas, stp, seafoam, etc. What is your guys' favorite injector cleaners that actually make a difference and should i add it on a full...

I think it just may be the trip i drive. My school is about 2 miles away and my job is 2 miles from school. All my friends and most stores i go to are very close to me as well. I am down to the conclusion that nothing is wrong because my car runs great and its just the short routes/warming up...

What is involved in an odb1 conversion? I have a 97 z28 camaro. I would like to get the odb1 because it seems a little less sensitive to certain things.

It is possible that the old ones were fouled rich due to the pcv i did change the pcv valve on them about the same time i changed the plugs.

Stock was 180. Car came with 160 from previous owner. ITs debateable but supposed to make car a little faster at the cost of gas mileage. I changed it back to the 180 when i swapped my fuel pump.

I am getting shoddy mileage on a 97 z28 with 113k miles. I tuned up just about everything i could think of except o2s. I got 2.73 gears and am only gettin 10-11mpg while not driving crazy. I got my maf screen still and have a 180 stat. New plugs and wires. I pulled a few of my plugs and they...

I ended up using 1500sandpaper and then some 3m finecut polish compound, it came out good as new.

My brake light got scratched badly and i wanted to fix it. I sanded it down really good and worked to the finest sand paper i have. It is smooth to the touch and look. It looks as if it just isnt glossy there. The scratch covered the edge of the brake light which is black so i was wondering if...

Does anyone any freeware programs on computers that let you scan obd2? I heard there are a couple but i am not having any luck finding them. I eventually want to get lt1edit but not at the moment. I basically just want to check oxygen sensors/ses/temps and a few things like that. Also, where...

I really like Gary's perspective and its the perspective i use when i can. ITs not like a ineed an icecold a/c system. I may take the whole thing out but for 50$ id be happy to get it working in cas e i need to sell my car and i know i would be able to get it running for that much.

Any way i can rebuild the compressor myself or is there any possibility it is still working?

Alright i played with it and watched it closely. It runs alright when the a/c is off. When the a/c is turned on, sparks start flying off of it and it turns red hot quick. How do i know for sure if its shot or just needs to be refilled, also, once i purchase a new compressor, what is involved...
