So its been a bit cold and very snowy i havnt had a chance to do much to the car lately. I did the rims and tires a few days ago. I actually noticed on one side whike swapping the driver side front rim that the sway bar link was snapped. No big deal there cheap enough. Didnt pay attention to...

Bought them and already have them installed. They make the car look so much better. Fit without an issue. Sidewall is a little smaller but wheel gap is good. Heres a couple pics. The rims are 2003 cadillac cts 17".

I just did some more quick searching since you got me thinking. On a tire comparison site i compared stock size to the caddy ones and the only real difference is sidewall height. Loses about an 3/4". Width is identical. And besides the rim being an inch larger it should have no issues...

Im not sure on offset but 2003-2007 cadillac cts had the same 5x115 the buick regals have. The tire sizes are almost identical i believe besides the rims being 1" larger. Stock size is 225/60/16 and these new ones are 225/50/17. I think i should be allset. Worst case scenario they dont fit...

Hey guys, sorry i havnt been on lately, lots going on with work and the weather and whatnot. So i still havnt quite decided what to do with the car. Im still trying to find the time to finish up the basic maintanance and small fixes it needs. Just bought a new battery today. Hopefully be...

Murph, could you find out for me how much hes looking to get for everything? It still wont let me reply on that forum even tho im signed up. Still not sure what im doing with the car, if i cant make a decent enough profit then ill end up modding it.

So i definatly have plenty of information to go on, so many different ways to go about it. The plan is to still hopefully mod the car, but theres still a chance i'll finish the regular maintenance and see if i can make a quick flip on it considering i'll be into it for a low investment. Just...

So looks like ill go with the stock replacements considering if these are stock on the car now its made it to almost 200k. Your right on with how the gas gauge is, takes a few minutes to show correct level, and my driveway which is fairly sloped almost always makes it read empty with the light...

So buying the stock replacements would be better than spending an extra $5 on the zzp 10.3mm plug wires? A zzp fuel filter is on the list of parts I'm hoping to buy soon. Also my gas gauge acts up a bit sometimes as well, doesn't always show the same on the needle even when not driving it for...

So i think i'll end up getting the thrasher intake if all goes well. As far as the poly mounts go i guess i'll think about it when the time comes that the car is modded, the shorter dog bones look like they might do good too, reviews seem solid and what the site states they do seems like a...

I'll probably end up buying same size replacement tires just so i have something with good tread and then look into some dr.'s after i have all the mods in place. As for intake i actually found someone on the regales forum selling a thrasher cold air intake that has my attention. We've emailed...

Heres a few more pictures

The way i see it leaving the rims as they are just makes it more of a sleeper as bland as they are. As far as regular street tires go, i should be needing them soon. I have some tread left but at the rate the car already spins the tires they won't last long. Can i go any larger/wider than the...

I figured id do the crossover pipe since it will be another fresh new exhaust component over the old stock one. I considered the throttle body but for $200 its a tough call and the crossover pipe being $60 its a little easier to swallow, plus if it lowers under hood/throttlebody temps even a...

This is the car
