Re: Which brake Pad Set?

My personal experience with the Wagner pads is that they cause a lot of dust (at least in my case). I'm not sure about your other ones. I put Raybestos pads and rotors on over a year ago and I'm still happy with the performance and dust on mine! Just my two cents.. good luck though!

Re: Car door won't stop locking/unlocking.

It's probably getting a little bit of juice from the battery. I'd suggest replacing the battery and seeing if you still have the problem.

Re: 2002 SLE terrible skip ,usually under load

Check the FPR for the fuel smell? Also could be having a problem with the fuel injector for cylinder 4 for the misfiring. Just things I would think of. Good luck!

Re: Things in the night. - engine damage and pics pg 2

I was thinking more of a project for myself. Something over time and also having my friend's shop assist me in the process. You are right though, guess I just got a little too excited lol

Would you consider selling the whole car to one of us? If so how much would you think?

I'm in Northern Jersey. Getting to Oceanside takes me around 2 hrs. So maybe somewhere around there I'd be able to pull off.

I'm in Jersey and would be interested. I just saw about the NY meet too, although Buffalo is too far away from me, I'd still be interested in trying to do something with them.

Re: Intermittent dying then no crank for random lengths of t

It was a notorious problem on the Series I motors. I had to do mine in my 92. I'd definitely suggest that route.

Re: Disc Brake Pads

I'll second the Raybestos Advanced. I have a feeling that's all I'll be running from now on.

Re: Disc Brake Pads

I just tried the raybestos brakes. I got the rotors front ceramic pads and rear ceramics. It's been about 1k miles and they're still great. Also seem to have low dust, especially compared to the Wagner ceramics I had on there previously.

Thanks Beast! I think mine is the dark gray. Now, going to have to do the fun part of pulling the steering wheel and airbag!

What does your GXP steering wheel look like?

With a black airbag in the middle of it? I bought a GXP steering wheel, not thinking about the color of mine. Mine is black and the one I got is gray. I'm curious if anyone's made this swap with these colors and if so can you post a picture of what it looks like? Thanks!

Re: What are some good brake pads for a 2005 Bonn. GXP ?

What did you guys use for rotors? Just the generic Napa brand? I was running the wagner thermo quiets with higher end rotors. The pads gave a great amount of dust and the rotors still warped after a year.

Hey reopening this threat. How did the ACDelco's pan out? I'm looking at replacing my SSEi pads with ACDelco ceramic pads and roto Thanks!
