Hi all: This is one of my last posts in the forum. I just traded in my baby for a SLK 32 AMG 2001. The reason will sound really weird to most of you: I couldn't stand taking it out in the rain and the debris. I tried to find a car that I wouldn't like too much, so that I wouldnt' have a heart...

Does your hp curve solely depend on A/F? For example, is it possible to have about the same A/F curve on the same car from two different tunes and have the hp or tq curve significantly different? Or does the A/F curve pretty much define what your hp and tq would look like?

I'm ready to get a predator from James as soon as Diablo comes out with the new version for the stall flash. Can someone please post A/F curves after a predator tune by James? Also, any comments, impressions, etc?

WTF!!! I drove to St Louis today and when I got back I washed the car and my dr. side fog light is broken. I didn't hear any stones on the light. Damn! What luck. I guess this won't be covered under warranty. Here's a pic: http://www.cybergeorge.net/fog.jpg :fm:

There are 5 yellow tops on the optima site. Which one are you guys using?

Is there a hole in the firewall for access to the engine compartment already or do you guys punch one? I'm looking to fit 2 ga. wire through. If there's a hole where is it? If not, where do you usually drill? Thanks!

I understand the Ford tune for the 03 Cobra is lean before 3500 RPM and pig rich after that. Custom tuners are trying to get as close to 11.7 or so as possible throughout the RPM range. Too lean is not good for the engine, too rich wastes gas and does not yield optimum performance, though it...

Hey, I just called Apten to get my car tuned by Brian. They told me that not only they are in Ohio now, but Brian is not even with them anymore. He moved to Orlando. So, Gene recommended Jason Cohen in STL. Anyone have any experience with this tuner? I think he does SuperChips. Thanks.

Bryan (and everyone else), what do you think about NXT on DSG. I'm a Zaino user but I'm willing to try NXT. And should I get the spray or wax? And how do I strip the Zaino? I'm not an experienced detailer or anything. I have some swirls on the car as well. Also, Bryan, how much would you take to...

I've read here before that the 305/35-18 fits fine on stock rims. I'm going to get these tires at some point and I wanted to know if the 275/40-17 are going to be too small, if the 305/35-18 fit fine. Is any one running these tires in stock size on the stock rims?

I'm making decent power. Nothing like most people make over here, but I have a catback, 3.10 and a DenseCharger, stock tune. Before I go to more power, I would like to use 2nd and 1st if possible. These gears are breaking the tires loose all the time. I have Kumho MX's brand new on right now...

I installed my magnaflow catbacks about 2 weeks ago. I've noticed that the driver side pipe has more smoke coming out than the passenger side. Maybe it was like that before and I hadn't noticed, but I just saw that. Is this something to worry about? Would it have to do with the muflers or with...

https://fordparts.com/product_info.php/cPath/23_43/products_id/340 I was thinking of buying this. Don't really feel like painting. Anyone tried it?

What do you guys use to clean the windshield and windows in general?

So, I was using a torque wrench for the first time. It worked fine on my plugs, but it didn't "click" at the setting of 10 for the head cover bolts and I broke one in there. I tried to stick the head back on and unscrew it but it just won't stick on. I tried to drill it but it's too tough to...

I have 3 coats of Z5 and 4 of Z2 on my DSG. I wanted to try out NXT. Is it ok to put it on top or should I wash with Dawn, clay and then use NXT?

Does anyone know where I could get the inside door handle part? I want to spray paint it. I found some carbon fiber stickers, but I don't like carbon fiber. If I could find silver stickers in the color of brushed aluminum, I'd get those, o/w I would like to paint it. I want to have a spare...

So, I am visitng St. Louis for the weekend. I was out at Mike Shannon's yesterday night for dinner. As I was leaving around 11:00, I'm on Market St. heading West. I get next to a brand spanking new CL600 Mercedes. There are two guys in it. I didn't look that hard. I was tired. We get off the...

What torque should I install my new plugs at? I have had a densecharger on for 10,000 miles and a 3.10 for the last 6,000. I will put NGK TR-6 on. I'm thinking to gap them at .036 - .040 (not sure yet - still reading posts about this). I am installing my Magnaflow cat-back today and have never...

OK, I have my new Magnaflows here and I'm trying to get the stock off. I undid the four bolts. The fasteners are a little stuck under there, so I'll bang them loose with a hammer. My question is: How do I get the hooks off of the rubber hangers? Do I stick a screwdriver in there and pull? Looks...

Hi guys, Can someone that has the installation instructions for this cat-back scan them and e-mail them (chronisg at missouri period edu)? I'm getting a cat-back on ebay and the guy who's selling it has no instructions any longer. I will appreciate it VERY much! By the way, I put a bid...

So, I'm driving within the limit and everything. A bitch on a motorcycle pulls me over. She said she stopped me because I don't have a front license plate. So, I give her the story with it falling off because of a stick-on license plate frame. I show her the license plate. Then she asks for...

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=50456&item=2459826354 This is a very low price for it. Does anyone have it?

Does anyone know of any descent WRX sti forums? I wanna check out the competition. thanks!

Ok, I know the paint on our cars is cheap and thin, but damn! I have about 25 chips, 5 of them the size of a quarter and they become larger, because the paint is lifting just by cruising on the interstate. It was not that bad to begin with. I have the car for a year now. Do you think the dealer...
