    Engine Failure

    When I worked in the Porsche shop as a technician we had a boxster with that engine come in for an oil change and as it was driving into the shop, the bearing went. Porsche ended up goodwilling the engine and the customer only had to pay for labor. Not bad considering it was a couple years out...

    Depends on the lift you have; mine is on the smaller side because I don't care if I ever lift my F350 up. I preferred the extra space in the garage. It goes right to the edge though.

    Well, I said I would try to keep it short, so total fail, haha. I am used to other car messaging boards where people always share detailed install info, etc. I have benefited greatly over the years on my own projects using the help of others, so this is my pay it forward moment I guess. My...

    Continued... Now, go ENJOY IT! Overall I measured about 1.25" less clearance in the back from the stock muffler, but it's nothing you will ever be concerned with. My mufflers tucked up in quite nicely and then standing back you don't really see them. See photos below showing from different...

    CT5-V Corsa cat-back exhaust installation tips & pointers, along with my thoughts/review (short video included)

    Well, I finally had the time and weather to install my Corsa cat-back exhaust this past weekend, and I wanted to share some info I feel is important regarding the installation.

    Noob-ish question on 5BW Oil Consumption

    Yes, with new oil it's very hard to see on the dipstick as it's nearly clear when it is such a thin film. Dry it completely, dip slowly at the last bit of it that goes into the tube. Take out and check front and back of the stick with it angled to the light, and look for the start of the shiny...

    I'll write it up tonight, busy day today. No CEL, did 99% by myself in about 3 hours. You really need the exhaust hanger puller.

    Noob-ish question on 5BW Oil Consumption

    When checking, ensure you are on a very level surface, and wait about 5-10 mins after shutting the engine off. Pull out stick, wipe dry, insert and check.
