    I WANT THE LOUDEST EXHAUST.

    I'm thinkin SLP Loudmouth for the catback. For the midpipe, I know h-pipes are louder than x-pipes, but not sure which brand is the loudest. Any advice? Thanks.

    Oil temp at around 230. Normal?

    On a hot summer day driving in the city my oil temp gets up to about 230. Is this too high? Thanks.

    Painting interior - How many cans? (Hatchback)

    Your's looks like exactly what I'm hoping for. Going from grey/blue to black. So I figure I'll get 1 can of vinyl prep, 2 cans of sealer for the plastic, 6 cans of laquer and 4 for vinyl.

    Wow that doesn't seem like much paint to me. I don't know where I got it in my head that I needed so much. Thanks for saving me some $$$.

    2 quick electrical questions (MSD 6al box, tfi coil)

    Gotta couple questions after installing a 6al: 1.) how do I test if it's working? simply use a test light? 2.) want to make sure I'm not supposed to be using the magnetic pickup trigger. the white trigger wire plugs into the wire that connects the new tfi coil with the old harness, so I...

    Anybody get horrible driveability for about 30 seconds after a cold start?

    I wouldn't waste your time just yet. I replaced my EGR and sensor to see if that was the problem. Cleared the code I was getting, but didn't fix the problem.

    Strange intermittent exhaust popping.

    I start up my GT, it drives fine for a few minutes. Then, all of a sudden, it feels like 50 gallons of gas gets poured directly into the engine. There is HEAVY lagging, and if I do any more than feather the gas, I get multiple popping noises (not loud enough to be backfires, I think). This lasts...

    Oil/Antifreeze on windshield????

    No valve cover breather. I'm not worrying about this anymore. Tomorrow I WILL beat on that engine like a dead horse and find out what the dick is going on. :dead: :dead: :dead:

    Oil/Antifreeze on windshield????

    Yes I use a cowl hood, but I don't see how anything could be coming from the engine compartment since the cowl actually sucks in. Even if I had a leak in one of the coolant lines (which I probably do), I don't see how it could exit the engine compartment. I might add that this was happening...

    Oil/Antifreeze on windshield????

    Hehehe funny you should mention that. The heater core was replace about 2 months ago (and in the meantime had started leaking again). Last week I bypassed the whole heating system with a U-tube under the hood. The liquid is on the outside of the windshield, and occurs at times of higher...

    Oil/Antifreeze on windshield????

    That would make the most sense, but it was happening in the winter. No big deal, I'll just forget about it. :Damnit: Thanks for the help anyway!

    Oil/Antifreeze on windshield????

    Something quite wierd happens when I take my car onto the highway and drive at higher speed (~80mph, ~3000rpm). I notice something splatters onto my windshield. It's not water, and it's not windshield washer fluid. I know this because when I put my wipers on to clean the windshield, it smears...
