    My front end is squeaking

    Ok so I figured out that the squeaking is coming from my rack on the right side. Is this something to worry about? Will it throw off my allignment? Im thinking about cutting a small hole in the protective sleeve and spraying some lubricant to stop the noise. Is this a good idea?

    I had the same problem in my last car. It was running just slightly warmer then usual. I replaced the thermostat, and problem solved. If it gets worse thats where I would start. Its an easy fix and cheap.

    door panel removal - '03 v6

    Ive taken the panel off my 02 a couple of times. It is not difficult at all. I use a flat head screw driver to take the small panel around the door handle off and the small panel up by the mirror. I assume there is not much difference between the 02 and 03. Ive been having the same rattling...

    Cold Air Intake

    I just put that exact intake in my car. I like it alot. Can't tell you how much it increased my HP, but it sounds good and the throttle's more sensitive. I think for the money its a great deal and it was easy to install.
