    Chrome bubble on wheel, warranty?

    I got the driver's side door handle replaced under warranty at 35,999 miles because it was bubbled and the paint flaked off and turned black. I walked away with a shiny new handle and a smile. Two weeks later I grab the passenger's handle after a nice soggy rain and the paint flaked off and...

    How do you make your loved ones understand...

    Atta girl, but I hate to play Dr. Phil here but is it right to have to trick someone into getting what you really want especially something as trivial (in the grand scheme of things not to you obviously) as a car? Someone shouldn't have to go through those lengths for a perfectly normal hobby.

    How do you make your loved ones understand...

    That last paragraph is so full of FAIL its epic! The Mustang has four seats with LATCH! Why do people have to confine themselves in these little archetypes and cater to everyone's silly expectations. Live a little enjoy life! When I'll need something with more then two doors the answer...

    How do you make your loved ones understand...

    Get lucky like and find someone who also loves cars like I did. Even better when they like your car but love theirs so you get that "healthy" competition going ;) In my case mine is the GT hers is the Z. Works out just great!

    Heh numbers sounded really good for some street tires. Either way that's some fantastic numbers!

    Cams or Intake manifold?

    Out of curiosity what tires are you running with those low 12 passes? Sounds like you're doing real good! that gives me hope for a 302 stroker setup with cams and intake : EDIT: CHA CHING POST 1000!

    Before I call the Dealer....

    jlt cai doesnt fit, help!

    The unit isn't too terribly expensive compared to others like C&L, Roush, Steeda etc. Thing is the quality is definitely homespun so you can expect things to be less then perfect. That said mine came apart because of heat issues (read the glue on the maf housing melted off) and got one color...

    jlt cai doesnt fit, help!

    Had similar issues before in the past. You gotta remember that the JLT intake is a great part for performance but still has some ways to go in terms of fit and finish. The only way I was able to get mine to fit (after a lot of trial and error is to setup the system as it should but with all...

    Launch Control?

    Damn I was hoping they would pull ignition not fuel oh well I left the setting as "default" and told them to do what the thought it was best for my application. I don't really rev the car with it in neutral anyway if it gets in the way I'll have them remove the thing.

    Launch Control?

    Well I'm taking advantage of Bamachips and American Muscle's merge to pick up some fresh new tunes for my car and I noticed they have a setting for Launch Control which specifies a rev range to work on. Any ideas at what I should be setting it? I don't really drag race I only do road...

    Cams or Intake manifold?

    +1 on the cams first and then intake. Also don't get the delete plates if you're going to buy the FRPP intake anyways because that particular intake is said to delete the CMCVs so you'll be wasting money. You're looking to build an engine similar to what I want to do. FRPP intake, Detroit...

    MRT Catted H-Pipe

    +1 I wanted one till I found out you get more gains for a different type of part like an Aluminium DS. You get more performance out of one of those then a catted mid pipe. That should be done after the main things are taken care of and you're just fine tuning / and got money to blow.

    Car Washing

    No problem man, for future reference be careful of those DYI car wash places. I took mine in one of those that they just built around here so everything was brand new. Well a brand new brush is a hard brush I scratched up my hood pretty bad with that thing and I didn't even realize it until...

    Car Washing

    I live in an apartment now and the only way I can wash the car is using the old soap and bucket method. Fill the bucket with water and soap, use big sponges (also I'm a fan of the hand mittens) to wash the car. When it's time to rinse dump out the bucket in a drain and go get yourself a clean...
