Kind comments and constructive criticism is welcome ! On this board? You ask for too much sir! Really a very nice site Howard. Thanks so much for the RPO codes, I printed them out and will go check mine asap. And your link to Aurora info gave the answer for Jim's license plate query on another thread, "L47 40L". |

Cool! But why is there no RPO code for the 3.48 transaxle ratio? The Aurora never came with a 3.11.  |

The 3.48 is probably normal with the MH1 transmission option so the only code listed would be for the extra option 3.71. (That's a guess) A 3.48 transaxle ratio would be RPO code FQ2.
And another guess, the 3.11 is probably for the Riviera - they share the same manuals and RPO list.

I've added more stuff to my website - the new address is on my sig. Some of the things I've added are pictures from this forum - I hope that's OK - omegaic, I really like the police interceptor you built, it's on the heroes and villains page. Comments welcome - nice or otherwise.  |

Hey, on that heros and villains page, you've got the Aurora-powered Cutlass up there, but the Aurora competed in IMSA GTS-1 with an Aurora instead of the Cutlass in 1996. It'd look a lot prettier next to that Riley & Scott Aurora WSC car. |

It'd look a lot prettier next to that Riley & Scott Aurora WSC car. The #5 car is the "first racing Aurora" with the Aurora V8 in a Cutlass Supeme. If you have a picture of the Brix 1996 car I can use it. I already have a picture - but there's a page seam down the middle so I haven't been able to use it. |

I got it last year - in September - with 35,000 miles on it, it was in great shape (still is!) a few small paint chips on the hood and that's all. Hopefully it will last a lo o o ng time |

Replacement of ALL automotive fluids and filters at recommended intervals is key to longevity. Use synthetic where possible.

Looks great Howard, I like how you incorporated the 2nd gen ramp use into the Classic oil change EDIT: I did revise my "final thoughts" on the project, perhaps you could use the updated edition? |

EDIT: I did revise my "final thoughts" on the project, perhaps you could use the updated edition? Sure - send them along. I didn't include the video because I don't have the room from my ISP for video files, or many sound files either. |
