Hey guys, I feel fairly confident in this area, but would love to hear from someone who has actually done this. Stock 16" tire size on our cars is 205/55r16. I get mixed results if stock rims are 6" or 6.5" wide. My research indicates that the widest tire I can fit on stock 16" wheels is...

Hey guys and gals, it's been awhile. Unfortunately I am back, not to discuss and recommend wheels, but to ask for help identifying a problem. Back around 6 months ago I bought a used MPFab Drivetrain Roll Suppressor from a member and eventually installed it on my car. Everything seemed to be...

Hey ya'll! The Dragon's on a car dolly and it looks like I'm leaving the Midwest and headed for the Eastern Coast! Looking forward to seeing if there's more events out this way! :D

I've looked it over a bit, but as I am still not as knowledgeable as a true gearhead I figured I'd ask: "Does this look doable?" I was thinking of taking the LHU 2.0L Turbocharged I4 EcoTec and F40 Six-speed manual transmission out of a totaled Buick Regal GS and putting the guts inside the...

Hey, So if you are the owner/driver of the 1.8L Victory Red LT Hatchback with 17" wheels and fog lights out West of Oklahoma City, I just wanted to say something. I hope you didn't take my high-spirited sprint to the lane merge point just beyond the Northwest Expressway intersection as an...

I'm going to try to make this brief, but there is a lot to cover. TL/DR: Don't use Hibdon Tire Plus. Period. I know more about how to do their job than their mechanics do, and I've never even worked in a tire shop! Story: My Sonic (the Green Dragon) recently developed a slow leak in one of the...

Well I just got back from a tire repair center because I had a slow leak in one of my tires. To my surprise, the repair was free. Unfortunately this free service resulted in damage to my wheel. I'm going to pass on some valuable knowledge that I hope helps others to avoid a similar situation...

Hey there enthusiasts! I have a convert looking to buy a gently used Sonic 1.4L hatchback! Preferably the Manual gearbox. Preferably 2013 to 2016 model year hatchback that is relatively stock. Color is not a major concern, though they do like my Dragon Green car. They have expressed interest...

Don't know if anyone here knows anyone needing a replacement headlight or two for a Pontiac G6. Both are original equipment with no moisture buildup. Lights have been on the car since 2008 and have some hazing from small road debris and UV exposure. Both have all functioning bulbs. Was hoping...

Anyone else getting a domain name error? Was trying to contact $ub$onic with a custom sticker idea.

Here's some rowdy concept art that totally makes me want to cyber-punk my Sonic. Just remove one of the headlights and replace with a metal plate, bore out the remaining high beam for a massive turbo, and remove both bumpers and replace with a police ram bar. :D

I've had my 2015 Sonic LT Turbo, 6 speed manual for just under 20,000 miles now. I think it has exactly 19,500 on the odo right now. Car has been in and out of service department for warranty work about 6 times; always for cosmetics and never performance issues. I have never replaced the spark...

Figured I'd share a bit of research I did regarding vortex generators for the Sonic. According to pop culture, vortex generators improve your MPG by reducing the amount of drag your car generates. They do this by causing mini vortecies (sp?) in the air where it separates from your car which...

As you probably know by now, redrilling a Cragar, Bassett, or Aero steelie is a bad idea for multiple reasons. And because of their 0 offset and lack of mounting surface 'pockets', adapters don't really work. However, there is an alternate way to achieve this look... The American Racing AR23 is...

Snagged these from Automotive Touch Up .com Touch Up Paint and Accessories | AutomotiveTouchup If you are looking for a specific paint code, but aren't sure which exact one is correct for your car, look for a dealer sticker (most likely inside a door jamb) that has a code starting with either a...

Shout out to all the Oklahoma based Sonics. First Saturday of every month there is a Cars and Coffee meet in Western OKC on the corner of 122nd Street and May Avenue, in the strip mall parking lot. If you are in the area, feel free to swing by and show off your car.

I know a lot of people here are car guys who know their way around an engine bay. But for those who don't understand some of the inner workings or the terminology being thrown around, I figured these would be helpful. Disclaimer: The guy in the videos is not me. I just happen to like this guy's...

Was looking up the affected cars of the Takata airbag ordeal today and noticed the 2015 Camaro was on the list. I am now slightly concerned because I own a 2015 Sonic, which appears to use the same airbag as the Camaro. Is there any justification to my concern? Or am I over reaching in my...

I am one of those guys who does an occasional stroll through the toy section, just to see what sort of die cast model cars I can find. What can I say? I like cars. A few months back, I was in a particular store, and found one of my favorite little cars. An AE-86 Corolla. It had candy red paint...
