oh, and what is the optimal output impedance of the head unit? 4ohms? or 8? (or 2?) *My last car ('05 Altima) used 2 ohms which essentially kept me from putting in aftermarket speakers with the stock HU/AMP.

was there a marked improvement when you installed the SEAS?

Thanks All - My drive to and from work today revealed that my perception was probably just off last night... Acceleration was spirited in 3rd through 5th all the way across the powerband... Somebody mentioned gas though... Does 89 or 91 octane really decrease performance significantly or...

when I am idling in neutral and barely tap on the (steering) wheel, i see the ECM kick up the revs instantly - about 300 or 400 rpm. for a second and then drop back down. -the exhast note (gurgle) cuts in and then out.

HAHAHAAAAAAAAA. LMAO

So I took my little 3 out for a spin around town tonight and I could swear my highway acceleration felt really weak after a while. After about 15 or 20 miles @ 70 plus (with a couple of sprints up to 95) my 5th and 6th gears felt lacking under hard acceleration. I pulled off MOPAC and just...

I understand that pulling off the resonator will change the the tone and the volume of my intake... But will I now also be able to hear my turbo spooling? Cause I REALLY want to hear my little turbine... Or do I need to get the CAI for that?

well, after doing a little homework and haggling three different dealers, I think 1 free $400 tint job ain't too bad... I haven't heard anybody say they got much off list for this car. As far as the "polycoat" bullshite, it wa part of a protection package which includes interior...

well, I made them throw in the tint job when I bought it... But as far as clearcoat goes...how can they get away with that bulls***? My salesguy said that because they cant put lead in the paint any more, the paint chips easier and that's why I should buy the sealant... Is this new...

Hi All, I bought my speed3 GT about 3 weeks ago and purchased the optional "clear coat protection" treatment and had them throw in window tint (paid list otherwise..) I drove the car home that night and the dealer said to just call back and make an appointment in the to get these two options...
