I can see TPMS's added value for commercial vehicles - large multi-wheel trucks, buses (both commercial and those used by schools), etc. It makes much less sense to be in EVERY vehicle produced, although it is good for someone who just happened to buy stock in the company or companies that are the m...

Update on WM Holden Caprice rocker mouldings for PPV: 1. Poll results are inconclusive 2. Cost with shipping via CP ( parts cost @ $290/kit ) using UPS Air Freight Pricing is parts cost + shipping (these are CP's numbers): - 1 kit - $703 (1 kit per car) - 2 kits - $603/kit - 3 kits - $577/kit - 4 ki...

Well, I haven't had that happen, but I will add that I'm less than a "fan" of the government-mandated TPMS--it's Nanny Crap. I had much more confidence in the system used on the 2004 Impala SS that was traded for this car--no in-wheel sensors, but by measuring & comparing ABS signals f...

That G8 towbar is a much different design than the others I've seen while working with CP. This G8 one bolts from underneath rather than replacing the impact bar supports. This eliminates my concerns about deleting the impact bar. So I'm very curious about fitment. And I have some questions that I ...

I will be curious to see this PPV....curious about what "else" has been done to it.

What lurks behind that "aw shucks" veneer, Bob? Me thinks you're a bit more computer-literate than you let on. But that's OK--just hit the road and come up to Concord NC next month to show everyone what you got!!!

Bob,

Assume your installation uses an aftermarket version--like this(?): http://www.uprproducts.com/pontiac-bill ... g8-08.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Can you describe or provide a link to a picture that shows how it's mounted?

If condensation is the concern, I'm just not sure how the separator design would create any greater problem than the existing stock (no separator) plumbing. I've done a test fit, and the height of the separator above the oil fill port brings it fairly close to the underside of the hood. May be a non...
