I've been having some really weird issues lately, and I'm starting to suspect the computer. Was wondering if anyone has seen this before. Symptoms are: 1. tach goes away and the mileage display goes to just dashes while the car is running. Shut if off and fire it back up and its working...

Simi off topic for the Saleen forum I guess, but many of us are running some wide meats so I'm sure this affects some of you. I don't know if anyone else has noticed this, but there seems to be a new way of surfacing the roads that is really making driving with these fat tires (265 front, 295...

Has anyone removed their rear bumper before? And if you have, what was involved? I'd like to remove mine to try and straighten up the area around the screens. It seems like the screws for the screen are too tight on one side and causing the plastic (or whatever it is) to wrap a bit. Here is...

Took my daughter on her first Saleen ride today. I didn't know if I could even get a rear facing carseat in the back, but it worked. VERY tight and the passenger seat has to be all the way forward to get it in there, but really it wasn't bad. She seemed to like it. Well she fell a sleep...

I bought a new windshield banner for my car but I realized I like it a lot better without it when I took off the old one. I think I'll just keep the new one in the garage and put it back on if I ever decide to sell the car. I'd post a pic but you've all seen them without the banner before...

Well, after the engine rebuild and break-in period I took the car over to powertrain dynamics to have Steve check it out. Numbers are 394rwhp and 409rwtq on a very safe, conservative tune. The high today was 398rwhp and 409rwtq. I'm very happy with that. No more pinging, no more smoking...

Hello everyone, I had an unfortunate incident with my car a couple of weeks ago and it looks like I'm going to need it torn down and rebuilt. Wondering if anyone here has any recommendations on a high performance engine builder in the socal area. They have to know what they're doing with the...

They've posted on another board that they will be in attendance tomorrow morning at Crystal Cove and then doing a cruise afterwards to the Saleen store opening. If you own a Saleen and you're in Orange County, get you butt up early tomorrow and get down there. You have to be there by 6:15 am to...

I've got an annoying problem right now with a surge or bucking at cruising and sometime rough idle. If I reset the computer it seems ok for a bit somethings, others not. The car feels good for the most part, but sometimes it gets a very rough idle and stumble sound (like its misfiring) with very...

This was taken at the beach yesterday. More pictures to follow after this weekend when she gets a good bath.

So my car is in the shop getting repaired and tomorrow I have to go file an SR1 with the state of California DMV to report the accident with them. It dawned on me that any future potential buyer will run a carfax against my VIN and see that it was in a accident and repaired, not that I wouldn't...

So last night my dad and I finish the rebuild of my car. What a hell of a project. In hindsight it would have been easier and maybe less expensive to have someone else do it but I learned a hell of a lot and all in all it was a great experience. The car is now quiet, no more annoying diesel...

I've torn my car down, had the block checked out and rehoned, and the heads rebuilt. There was no damage to the pistons, rings, etc., nothing visible anyway. So I had the heads rebuilt in case it was a weak spring or something allowing oil to get into the cylinder and causing the pinging, oil...

On March 10 my father and I are tearing into my car and rebuilding the motor. The old pinging issues seem to have done some damage to the pistons, created high spots, and the issue persists, at least I hope that's it. We won't really know until we tear into it. But I found aluminum chunks in the...

Just spoke with a Tech @ Saleen thru email regarding changing the oil in the supercharger as I've been getting conflicting information on when it should done. Saleen has a newer oil for the superchargers from "Nye" that is good for 50,000+ miles. You can purchase it straight from Saleen...

Does anyone know the flow rate of the "Saleen" high-flow fuel pump? On the E cars, Saleen installed a new pump, but I was wondering what it is and flow rate. I was told by Eric at XMP that it was an aviator pump. I'm thinking of installing a BAP so was just curious what the final outcome would...

Man there are a lot of new 2004 cars listed on eBay right now, and it looks like all are 10k under MSRP. Anyone think they'd go even lower?

I'm working on a video for my car, but thought I'd post some from inside the car. I'm still learning video editing so sorry about the size and some wind noise. Nothing too exciting, no burnouts anyway, but at $600.00 for a new set of rears I'll leave that to other people...

Well, I've finally decided to rip the heart out of my schizophrenic car and rebuild it. There are three reasons for this: its going thru about a quart of oil every few weeks, a gallon of water/anti-freeze in about two months, and it won’t hold a freaking tune for longer then a week and then...

Well I final got the issues with the high temps on my intercooler resolved. As a refresher, my Intercooler temp was about a constant 160 most of the time and about 180 to 190 on a hot day. When I had my car dyno tuned they were seeing IAT of 250 degrees. :mad: Neither one of those is good so...
