    Easy wax?

    I just did my Red GT with a dual product technique. Since they both go on so easy, it really doesn't take much time. Get a bottle of Klasse All-in-One and a tub of P21S Carnuba wax. Neither one is cheap, $20 and $30 respectively -- but a little goes a long way and it's probably enough to...

    Studed Snow Tires??

    Bridgestone Blizzaks kick butt in snow and especially on ice. No need for studding -- they use a special "cell" compound that act like tiny suction cups on ice. They will wear like hell if you run them too long out of snow season -- dry pavement kills them. I used to run mine from mid-nov...

    Cleaned my engine with Gunk....pics.

    what do you guys do to clean the powdery aluminum oxide off the intake, alternator, etc? Is there a way to keep it from re-appearing?

    Help, looking for this hood can't find it.

    No -- take a closer look. The hood he's looking for is defintely not a cobra R hood. Although it IS a cowl hood, it also has the indented "air-path" to the scoop like a stock 01-04 GT hood.

    #*^%!#*(%@#!* Weedwackers

    Man that sucks. I can relate -- I had some nitwit turn on his snowblower just as I went by his driveway last winter. it sounded like someone threw a bucket of pebbles at my car. The thing that really pissed me off was that he WAITED for the car ahead of me to go by, then turned on the auger as...

    Glove Box

    Had a brand-new 2004 Mazda 3 last year, before I recovered my senses and bought my 02 GT. One thing about it though -- it had an enormous glove box. It was designed to be able to hold a laptop computer. That was one of those "wow" things when you see automotive design done right. What size...

    Maaco

    Yep -- they're cheap, not good. The few people I know that had a car painted there were just looking to spruce it up in order to sell it. If you are intending on keeping (and showing off) your car, you'd do better to save up a couple grand and have a really excellent job done at a high...

    engine clean/polish

    Anyone have ideas for cleaning up the aluminum parts of the engine? My 02 GT's intake/plenum, alternator, etc., are all oxidized and covered with the powdery white residue that unprotected aluminum gets. Any ideas on how to spruce up these parts?

    Programmer Help

    Dude, If you don't know about these, you should go to a Dyno Tuner and have them do it. Seriously. Just my opinion.

    what kind of shifter should i get?

    I put in a MGW with the red handle a couple of months ago. I love it. I measured the shift throw length before and after: Stock 1-2 shift throw was about 8.5 inches With MGW, the 1-2 shift throw is about 4.5 inches. (And it doesn't feel even that long) It's almost like flipping a toggle...

    What kind of rims are on my car??

    Never heard the term cookies used like that. Instead: You might "blow your cookies" if you do too many donuts and get really dizzy.....

    What do you think of this anti-theft device? Supposed to prevent 100% stealing

    More effective and with a proven track record are the systems that include an RFID transponder (kinda like a Mobil Speedpass) so that your car just won't start if the transponder isn't within a certain distance of the car.

    Digital Guage Cluster

    The digitals probably look cool, but remember there's a reason that most Race Cars have analog gauges. You don't have to "read" them -- you can just glance at them and register the position of the needles to get the info you need. It sounds like a minor thing, but it does take a lot more time...

    Disappointing Dyno results:(

    I also think it's the 75mm TB. Get it dyno tuned -- it should make a big difference. 210 is WAY too low even without any mods. For comparison, my 02 GT (30K mi) is bone stock and on a Dynojet a couple of months ago it put out 226hp/269Tq. That's with A/F ranging from about 15 at intial...
