According to the recall, the concern only applies to an “unbelted” passenger in the front seat. As long as your front seat passengers use their seatbelt, I don’t think you need to do the recall. The seatbelt system must somehow communicate with the airbag deployment system.

I don't ever recall this problem early on when I first bought the car. It has become tougher to put into 1st gear over time. The fact that it's become worse over time leads me to believe something is worn. The clutch? I still run the stock quadrant, do you think that is going to help? I...

My car has the stock clutch and I have changed the transmission fluid once around 42K miles. I am the original owner and the car has 56K miles on it. For whatever reason, it's getting harder and harder to shift the car into first gear from a complete stop. If I am rolling just slightly, it...

If you do a lot of highway driving, then I wouldn't get the 4.10's. I find it annoying holding the engine at 3000 rpms at 80 mph for an hour straight on a highway trip. Now I have forced myself to drive around 70-72 mph on the highway because I hate the high revs of anything faster. On...

My plans changed for tomorrow and I now have some time to go. I am going to head to Byron in the morning so I can be there right when they open at 10 am. I plan on leaving Glen Ellyn at 8:45. Let me know if you can make it.

My plans changed for tomorrow and I now have some free time. If the weather looks good, I am going to head to Byron at 10 am when they open. Let me know if anyone else wants to join me. I plan on leaving at 8:45 am.

Maybe next weekend? I live in Glen Ellyn.

Perfect, that's the kind of feedback I was looking for. Thanks to everyone. If anyone wants to set a date and put a group together, let me know. It would be more fun if we could have a group of us out there together. By the way, I love the way the Nitto DR's hook on the street. I am...

When is the best time to go?

It’s been a while since I have hit the track and I am looking to sell my car at the end of the summer. However, I wanted to make a few track runs with all of my mods. before I sell my car. I’ve added a bunch of mods. since my last track runs. My best ET is 13.89 @ 101 mph with K&N filter...

You don't need 270 rwhp to run low 13's. I think your dyno guy is trying to make you feel good about your car by playing with the dyno software. It happens all the time. It makes you feel good about the shop which potentially equals more business for the shop. The crap about you having a...

These tires have made my car fun to drive again. I had Kumho 712’s before and they handled curves well and looked good, but they couldn’t take any aggressive launching or gear shifting. They would spin 1st and 2nd gear despite have lots of treadlife and sized at 275/40/17. If you like to spin...

How many miles were on your car when you did the baseline with Magnaflow and K&N?

I noticed a lot plenum talk before the 2nd test, but I seriously think it has died down dramatically since that last test. I could be wrong. It’s just an observation. If you go back and read the test thread you will see lots of guys claiming they were going to purchase one. Usually when...

Where are all the plenum posts? I recall many folks claiming they were going to go out and purchase one right after the plenum test results were posted. Where are the plenum success stories? What happened? Nobody talks about this mod. much these days.

Not slipping on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts pays big dividends in ET. No doubt those tires helped a great deal, but I'd also give yourself some credit, you probably are simply getting better at driving as well. Nice improvement!

StangLou – I recall a while back you didn’t have SAE corrected #’s for your previous dyno pulls. I distinctly recall you telling me you didn’t have SAE numbers because you didn’t know the significance of them at the time of your previous dyno pulls, so therefore, you didn’t request them...

If the stock MAF is so restrictive explain to me how lots of GT's are seeing upper 250's rwhp and some even 260 rwhp. while still using the stock MAF. They do make more power, but not because the are more free flowing than the stock MAF. All the power comes from the leaner mixture. Call C&L...

Mine has been out a few times. I never could get it back into the holding brackets just right, but it doesn't matter. I've never disconnected my neg. bat. terminal for removal. Guess I have been lucky.

I agree with keeping it simple. I first started out with Steeda lowering springs and used the stock struts/shocks. They worked fine, but eventually I noticed the stock pieces wore out. I replaced them with ’03 Cobra Bilstein Struts and Bilstein HD rear shocks. The car really came alive after...
