Re: Caprice Parts Car Prices in the Northwest!

I think part of it is the area I live in, everything in the Northwest is more expensive. I could have bought a 2013 last August from Oregon agency that had minor body damage and 80k miles for $1600. I bought the other one for $2100, that ran perfect and no body damage. The listing agency listed the ...

Caprice Parts Car Prices in the Northwest!

It seems that wrecked Caprice PPV's are very popular here in the Great Northwest. GOV Deals auctioned off about 6 of them from the WSP a few months ago. They were all wrecked, some partially stripped for parts. Some of these cars were seriously steamrolled in rear end collisions. They all appeared t...

Re: 2013 PPV Weekend Warrior/Mad Max Build

Hey Barry, what was the width on the rims you widened? I acquired a set of 20X11 with 315/35/20's for the rear and 20X9 275/40/20's for the front from a Zl-1 track racer. Was planning on using on a different project and they are just to big. I ran the tire calculator for yours and mine and came up w...

Help, trying remove passenger airbag and glovebox

I am struggling to remove the passenger airbag and glovebox. I got the 10mm bolts and screws out of the bottom of the knee/bolster airbag. I can't seem to figure out the rest. The drivers side knee/bolster airbag was easy.

This is turning into quite the pain.


Thanks

2012 Radio in a 2013?

Is it economically feasible to install a 2012 radio in 2013. Did a search on google and went thru 13 pages of posts and could not find anything. I have a 2012 radio from my parts car that I want to install in my 2013. Is it locked? Can I use use a Tech 2? Ship it somewhere for reprogramming? Thanks ...

Complete G8 GT Suspension on 2011 PPV, direct fit?

Did alot searching. Could not find the answer to this.
Real simple, is it a direct bolt in? Springs, shocks, struts, everything. Do not want to mod or cut anything.
Got a local guy parting out a 2009 GT.


Thanks

Re: Struts off G8 onto 2013 caprice

Nice, like the ride height. Looks like the way to go for a budget suspension upgrade (meaning smoother ride) with the benefit of lowering.

Re: Can’t remove key from ignition

When I took the shifter cover off and disconnected the two switches to swap the cover with my parts car my key would not come out. Is soon as a reconnect the switches I was able to remove the key. Check the switches/connectors.
