I'm going to be putting projector lenses in mine which will free up the clear lenses I have in them now if you are interested. Will prob be a few weeks before I get around to changing mine out though.

Can a small exhaust leak lead to a noticeable power loss?

Replacing my drivers side rear axle I noticed water dripping between my midpipe and muffler. Found a gap between the flanges so I bent them back straight and put a new gasket between them. The car feels noticeably peppier than before, especially with initial acceleration. I know it's not my imagination, but the only thing that changed was sealing off that leak.

FITMENT QUESTION!!!

04 Sedan, full revised Z suspension, slightly rolled front fenders, unrolled rears.

Found a set of wheels I'm in love with, but they only come in 18x9.5 et20.

What am I looking at in terms of camber and tire size? Fenders and rear quarters will eventually be rolled flat.

^Kinda depends on what you mean by "in charge of"

G35Driver was sold to InternetBrands, so technically, they're in charge of the site itself.
Robb M. is the point of contact for IB

But if it's related to something more along the lines of changing a username, or if you account status is wrong, etc... contact one of the 'Red Username' admins.

Rubber mallet or hammer and just tap all atound the back of it and it should start to move. Sometimes they get rusted on there and spray some stuff in there ane you should be good

Make sure the ebrake is off. Take a mallet and hit the rotor hat around the wheel studs. YOu can also spray some penetrant around the hub which is where it is getting stuck.

One of my rotors was stuck on the hub crazy tight.
It was on the back. Passenger side IIRC.

I had to beat the crap out of it with a 5lb sledge

^ you have a 5lb sledge in your tool box? your in FL, rotors aren't as bad there.

in the midwest when all the salt. you get rotors rusted to hubs completely. never needed 5lb sledge. maybe you weren't hitting it right (thats what she said)

small love taps are better then beating the crap out of one.

^I started with small love taps with a ball-peen hammer, then graduated to more convincing blows with a regular claw hammer and still got nowhere, so I beat the holy hell out of it with a 5lb sledge, and whaddaya know it came off

The fronts just fell off, and also the other side in the back wasn't as bad.

Don't ask me

oh and yes, I had released the parking brake. I even spun the little adjustment thing to retract the shoes completely.

if you already broke a stud, knock it out and use that spot to hammer the hell out of it till the rotor pops off.
