    Scratched up third brake light lens

    Hm.. on my 99, the third brake light is doing the same thing. I haven't hit anything with it, but scratches have appeared on the top of the lense. It isn't as noticable since I've installed the spoiler, so I haven't really bothered with it. One place I've used for parts is...

    what size speakers in 99+ coupe

    I have 2 12W3's w/ a Rockford 500a2. They've done well, but recently I've been wanting to kill the rattles and up the SQ. I went with the CDT CL-61a's from thezeb.com and Secondskin audio for the sound dampener. I'm hoping after all is done, the silk tweeters and midbass will show much...

    02 Stock Alternator Amps?

    I was just wondering how many amps the 02 alt was rated? I have a RF 500a2 amp with 2 12w3's and have some dimming issues when the volume is high and only during bass notes. Since I'm adding another 350a2 (100wx2 rms) I'm thinking I might need another alt instead of bothering with a cap..

    v6 to v8 swap info needed:

    My car (was a 99 3.8L) was swapped to a 99 4.6L. Engine was $1300, tranny was $700, install was $1500, and many many misc parts totaled (guess) around another $500-600. Of course, you'll need all frontend accessories, new power brake booster, a new connector on the rack and pinion, new A/C...

    I feel ya on the voltage regular problems.. mine died at the stoplight finally on the short trip to work. I just grabbed another OEM alt from car-part.com for around $40 and its been great ever since...

    clay bar???

    Claybars work great for removing paint contamination. If sliding your fingertips across the paint you hear a 'gritty sound' a clay bar would help. In any case if your paint is beginning to show some age (like my 99 is) it'd be a good idea. My best combo has been a Porter Cable DAP + Meguiars...

    mil eliminators

    I don't have the headers, but have had problems with SES even after switching MILs. I'm thinking I need new rear o2 sensors since they must operate properly to prevent SES, but I imagine I'll just send in the PCM to Tim for a reflash to remove the error from code in the PCM itself.

    help with check engine light needed

    The car doesn't run any different for me.. although I think the light may play some mind games with me, all in all it does fine. Sam98 do you know a cheap way to program chips.. or possibly someone that can offer a custom chip with disabled cat checking? Tim offers a PCM reflash for fairly...

    help with check engine light needed

    Actually I had an idea. My front o2 sensors were bad since some water or something got into my O/R H pipe (before I owned it). I'm guessing the rear o2's still need to actually be operating normally, since the MILs adjust based on the o2 sims 'expected' readings? Not sure, just a thought...

    help with check engine light needed

    I think I'm having these same issues..I determined the code changed when swapping the elim's sides, but after finding out which one was bad it suddenly goes out for like 6-8 months. Finally it comes back on again, so I swap with the manufacturer (caspers electronics). New one is on, everything...

    Is this really a 'problem'? ;).. On the other hand I'm sure you'll get used to things after awhile...

    Panel behind quarter window removal

    Does this removal also apply to 99+ interiors? I need to remove my rear (armrest area) interior pieces for sound deadening as well..

    shocks/struts

    Hrm.. hope my Tokico blues turn out okay. I bought the springs/shocks/struts all in a box on eBay for $400 shipped. Maybe I can have them installed today :D

    Engine+Tranny swap (lil different..)

    I've actually done this :D. I have a fairly complete list of parts around here somewhere.. I went from a 99 3.8 to 99 GT, but I stayed auto :(.

    Damn Rattles Help!

    I've been reading up on several sound dampeners.. Dynamat is a bit too pricey for me, but FatMat or B-Quiet (on eBay) aren't so bad. With patience, a heat gun, and a decent roller I'm thinking it will help with my rattles...

    Is this a problem?

    I had this problem (especially noticable when the car was in drive sitting uphill) with hunting idle. I'm guessing if it gets any worse (mine triggered the SES light) it's your Idle Air Control valve.. it's cleanable or better yet replaceable @ Autozone or perhaps Advance Auto..

    HELP!!Just installed Mach 1 cluster and car wont start!!

    I'm guessing if I swapped my v6 cluster for a GT cluster (minus PATS needed boards) I'd also need to swap the speed control servo since there's a difference in registered speed?.. (I have a 4.6L on the car now however)..

    For those electronics guru's..

    Just to put some closure to this for the archives, I replaced the battery but it didn't fix the charging problem (battery light stayed on). After a new alternator, everything works great. Appears it must've been the voltage regulator...
