    What do you use to keep your convertible top from fading?

    raggtopp http://www.properautocare.com/ravicotopcak.html clean then apply the protectant. It may come out with an uneven appearance the first time you use it, just apply evenly and wait a day for it to even out before applying more

    OK 2001 Cobra.... Pros and cons

    cons: car is out of warranty so make sure everything is up to spec. If you plan on beating on it the IRS can break, making for some expensive bills. When you drive it make sure it doesn't ping under load and check under light throttle if it pings / noises at lower rpms in second gear...

    Did you ever hear of this tire/rim warrenty

    scam, If not from ford, then try getting your already spent money back. You call a number and noone ever answers or they deny you claim and you have no recourse. Dealers make a huge markup on extended warranties, especially if not from ford.

    To possibly sell the Cobra and/or the '70.....what to do.....?

    dump both, too long of a time to wait for them and the cobra will depreciate. Who knows what will be out there when you get back. Good luck.

    question on ohms

    run two, otherwise the amp will just put out less power at 6ohm than at 4ohm, wont affect sound quality though.

    Best way to remove decal from doors

    Body shops have a big gum eraser on a spindle that will remove stickers without ruining the paint, it is spun by a drill or similar and just peels the sticker off in little pieces. Used it on an old cruiser and you couldnt even tell where they were on a white car after use.

    rough ide, surge with AC on?

    could be the low or high pressure sensor, which means you are low on freon or the switch is junk. Had a car that needed a new sensor for one or the other a few years ago and cost like $90 to have fixed, well worth getting it fixed, Get a chiltons and find out what it is or go to an AC shop...

    rough ide, surge with AC on?

    sounds like the AC is bringing down the base idle and then the comp compensates by opening the throttle like when you let the clutch and bog and then push it back in without touching the throttle. I know on the older cars there was a setting to increase the idle when the AC is on, could be that...

    weird question about airspace and subs, help me out

    Didn't take offense, just didn't want anyone misunderstanding me so I clarified. Great graph showing the cabin gain. One of the reasons why car systems hit so hard. Even going down to 40hz or so isnt bad for a car as a lot of info is in this range and you don't see alot of info below this in...

    weird question about airspace and subs, help me out

    If you change the size of a sealed box, then you change the rolloff point, with a smaller box equalling a higher rolloff, this is what I meant by tune. You can effectively make a box larger by putting polyfill or wool inside it, giving it a larger effective size, with some doing this in ported...

    Want to know if 02 Mustang has a Clear Coat?

    Had no idea that they made a lexus without 2 stage paint, seems unsuual as most cars are now clearcoat as it is easier to get a decent finish with it.

    weird question about airspace and subs, help me out

    A smaller box (sealed) usually is just tuned to a higher frequency, it also depends on the parameters of the subs. A ported box is also tuned by its box size and the port dimensions. Don't worry about it.

    weird question about airspace and subs, help me out

    don't unplug the 3rd sub, it will then act like a damped passive radiator and mess with the sound. MTX box should have been made for the subs, don't worry about a high tuning point as a car's inherent small airspace makes a big boost in lower freq. unlike a normal room. Same Q as above, why...
