So I'm trying to protect my dignity on the freeways of houston and since this is the first manual/fast car I've ever owned or driven I want some confirmation that I'm not driving wrong. I'm playing with a yellow vet tonight and we're both rolling at 80 and then getting on it. He pulls way...

I have yet to do a brake stand/burnout with my 08. In other cars I would stand on the brakes, rev the engine untill the torque converter stall kicked in and then ease off the brakes until the rear wheels spin and smoke. I am not sure if this is good for a V. Can anyone recommend the best way to...

Hi guys, Has anyone figured out a reliable launch technique that will minimize wheel hop and still get a good short time? I was going to head up to New England Dragway and try my luck against my buddy's GTO and an ex-girlfriend's built 5.0 GT convertible, and I don't want to grenade my diff...

Is there a good tool or technique for removing the plastic pins holding the plastic cover located under the radiator/engine on 03 DTS? do you just pry and pray. Feels like they will break, and since 3 are missing I assume the first owner had the same issue and broke some. Looks like they have...

I read a topic regarding the above in the V forum; If anyone knows how this is done, can you post step by step instructions as i did not understand what was said in the previous thread. Thanks in advance :worship: :worship: :worship:

Someone on the STS forum was having some vinyl stickers printed up with a silver cadillac wreath/crest on a black background to cover the airbag warning labels. Not sure if it's still going on, but here's the link...

I quote from a previous post " There's a 2nd drain plug up on the side of the tranny, in behind some wires. It must also be removed. On my 97 STS, I got more fluid out of the side drain than in the actual tranny pan. I've heard of dealer techs who miss this drain." Is there a second drain plug...

I have now had my V for almost 2 weeks. It is a blast to drive and handles great. Overall, I am very pleased with the car. The only problem I seem to have is heel & toe downshifting is proving to be difficult in this car. I got rid of an 04 Acura TL with 6-speed that was a joy to work the...

Sorry to sound so damn ignorant but I don't want to screw anything up. What's the best way to take off the CTS emblem:alchi: Thanks, Chef

I've got a question for all you experts out there. I'm the kid with the '92 deville that plunged $3000 into the thing (and still paying that off) if you've read any of my other posts. I've been noticing that my tranny slips between 2nd and 3rd gear lately. For example, I live around alot of...

I would like to start detailing the engine of my '03 CTS (with 3.2L, Luxury/Sport) this summer. A search of the internet and this forum ended with some confusion: Warm or cool engine while working? Running or off while spraying? Simple Green? Perfect or too harsh? Another cleaner? Is scrubbing...

I wanted to see if anyone else has had any throttle body maintenance, or any knowledge of this being important on a 2003 CTS 3.2 ? Every time I go to the dealership they want to perform this. When I look in the owners manual, it doesn't need to be done until 100,000 miles or something like...

I found this link on another forum. Pimp yourself and share your new name. Of course I'm "Bossplaya" but, on this site I came up as "Pimptastic F. Glide".:histeric: http://www.playerappreciate.com/pimphandle.asp

Ok, im really interested in the Zoomers exhaust, but they only make it for the Cts V, will the 5.7l exhuast fit a 3.6l? if so how hard would this be to make it work out?

I am not sure why I am posting this since 99% of you are guys, but it's pretty funny :p :D WINTER CLASSES FOR MEN AT THE LEARNING CENTER FOR ADULTS REGISTRATION MUST BE COMPLETED BY NOTE: DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY AND DIFFICULTY LEVEL OF THEIR CONTENTS, CLASS SIZES WILL BE LIMITED TO 8...

Ok here in Central Texas they have added the dreaded emissions test to the annual inspection. My car has no codes. No MIL light. They don't sniff ODBII cars here but hook up and do a systems ready test. Apparently the system said the Cat was not ready, Evap not ready and EGR sys not ready...
