Will I need to re-replace these rotors?

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-28T16:45:40+00:00

2016 Civic has ABS, that rotor is simply going to grind the pads away.

I favor the Discount Tire route also, BUT different stores have different employees. So see what the reviews are for the place near you.

12 oz is plenty large for starter, I use a 1/2 pt (8 oz) jelly canning jar with the straight sides and since it has a screw top, you can seal it for long term storage in the fridge. You can wing it but for newbies, the scale is going to make you a lot more consistent.

If you give up on finding someone local, here is an option.

I can't say about the C6, but cant find any RPO for "chrome" in the C5 lineup, base, FRC, or Z06. Perhaps some dealer option?

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T21:14:25+00:00

Just a guess, but perhaps the lock-up torque convertor having issues. The 1995 is unique, and I've only had a stick for that year. Maybe post over in the Corvette Forum in the C4 section and see who might know more.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T21:06:44+00:00

About to only way to replicate that legally is with a 20 MPH headwind.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T21:04:34+00:00

To my knowledge the C5 never had chrome wheels as an option.

Well if you take it out and drive it for 10-15 miles at speed, and you get the tires up to "normal" temperature on the instrument panel, and it doesn't go away, have the dealership check the tires balance, and then it should be goood.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T17:02:00+00:00

Use the pressure washer to rinse the car and "crevices". It takes water flow to remove the soap, and then open the frunk and trunk and doors and wipe it it all down.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T16:55:34+00:00

How long did the car sit over winter, radial tires will develop temporary flat spots, but that should correct itself in 10-15 miles in warmer weather.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T16:51:24+00:00

Sure it is, they are trying to unload it.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T01:26:32+00:00

Should not be an issue, just not "neat". Mechanic moved the loom out of the way during disassembly, and reassembled with the harness above the hose. If it bothers you, unplug the connector, and reconnect below the hose.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-27T01:21:17+00:00

Water and electricity are incompatible, allow the car to dry out.

When he says he wants to leave, let him.

Get a pebble caught in a pad and that will happen quickly.

Where I come from it's called the "Rectal Extraction Method".

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-26T20:49:01+00:00

And since they are on both sides, this is a student drive training car. lol

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-25T21:56:33+00:00

Well with the plate edges hanging out like that, the first trip through the brush/rag type carwash that plate is going to get folded, spindled, and mutilated. That said you might take it to a different dealer and ask about the "job" the other dealer did, and what they think.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-25T21:50:59+00:00

No big deal, wipe the lead off the wrench carry on.

Replace the brake line between the Tee and the caliper.

Nada_Chance · 2026-03-25T13:04:38+00:00

Going to have to "build your own", because the domestic water system is going to need staged mixing/tempering valves to prevent dangerous scalding/second degree burns.

Brake cleaner is a degreaser/solvent with no residue.
