At 63K Miles, it was time to replace both front Magna Ride struts on the Blackwing. Clunk under sharp rebound when stiffened up and they were both leaking. Picked up a cheap $100 spring compressor which made the job easy.

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...

Hi all, its been a while since Ive been on here. Still have my 23' 4BW and I drive the crap out of it. 61K+ miles on it now. Yesterday included an oil change, Green Air filter clean/maintenance, replaced the serpentine belt, rear diff fluid change, cabin air filter change and front brakes. I...

First half is scenic, second is also scenic but quicker. The grey BMW tried to keep up for about 2 corners then dropped off fast. Just cruising home from wor... er, a trip out of town. Crappy video editor lost sync with sound on the second half. Edit, video is unlisted, so may have to click...

Since the day I bough my 4BW, I have heard a light clunk in the right rear. The noise presented itself under sharp edged bumps and was in rebound, not compression. It was much more noticeable if the suspension was stiffened up, it was hardly noticeable in the normal soft setting. I almost...

On my daily commute this morning, I was pulled over after I had passed a car driving 47mph in a 55mph zone, I had accelerated to 60 to pass the car, it was the only passing zone for 20 miles on a two lane canyon road. I knew the sheriff officer was behind me so I was careful not to go more than...

Found I can transport my road bike in the 4BW with the rear seats down, just have to pull the wheels. This lead to finding out how much more awesome the car sounds with the exhaust open and giving it the beans! Really lets in more sound, shifting cracks (cant get enough of) and decel burble...

Going the full Monty with the JB4, Catted downpipes, T-Body... Going to stick with the stock plugs, but a new set on the way which will be gapped to 0.026". Photos and info to follow in the coming days.

Warning, lug nut porn to follow. I really liked how much better the GM black chrome lug nuts looked over the stock chrome capped basic lug nuts. But two things, one, I was like Damn these weigh a lot more, and two, the black chrome gives almost a too polished of a finished look. The open ended...

Shot in the dark, I was on my way home from work in Santa Clarita, heading north East on Copper Hill Rd past McBean. Another White or Possibly Rift 4BW gave a short honk then passed my on my right before coming to a stop at San Francisquito Canyon where I turned to head north. Just checking to...

I'm surprized at the ammount of brake dust the 4BW OEM pads generate even with light use. What are you guys using for treat the wheels with to help repel the brake dust? I know some replenets are not good on dark wheels. I had used Armor All brake dust repellent in the past, I'm sure there...

Anyone happen to have a photo of the Satin Graphite wheels with black lug nuts? I'd like to compare it to the standard chrome lug nuts.

Noticed this as I was driving home after taking delivery, there is a slight but noticeable rapid pulse type noise which can sound a bit like a hiss coming from the front passenger door mid-range speaker when moving at speed. The noise is slightly less apparent in a right turn, slightly more...

Day 2, took it out for a quick drive over the hill before it rains for some morning sun rise photos. Going in for tint later today.

Its been 25 + years since I last had tint done on anything I have owned. Looking at having tint done on the front and rear doors and back window on my 4BW. After some searching and reviews I'm looking at Xpel PRIME XR Plus 35% tint all around. I drive at night often and dont want to hinder...

KJ7E here: KJ7E Callsign Page No, I will not be mounting any antennas on the BW unlike Barry Goldwater on his 63 vette.

So am I the only one distracted by this add on this site? I still don't know what the add is about yet.

Anyone fit a bike in the back of your CT4v yet? Fold the seats down, fit the bike in via the truck or just remove the wheels and use wheel bags? If so, road bike or mountain bike? I cycle a few times a week, I know Ill have no issue transporting my road bike, at the most just need remove the...

For those that have the carbon option 1, anyone have any problems with curbs or driveways? How is the clearance?

Hi all, thanks for all the great info on this site. I've been driving a 2020 Ford Explorer ST (tuned and a few mods) for the last two years. Looking forward to the new 4BW that's on order. The Avatar of the 76 Vette was my first car back when I was 18. Road motorcycles exclusively since 15...
