    I'm confused!

    Ok.....so I have noticed that my car smokes sitting at idle for more than like 30 sec to 1 min.......I decided it was time to put it back to stock to take in to the dealership....which is just a PG TIP/SRI removal. Well now it runs perfect with no smoke with the stock inlet and airbox. Would...

    PG SRI & TIP combo

    Well I noticed a bit of a difference with just the SRI when I had that on.....but now that I put on the TIP....wow!!! what a difference...the throttle response is so much peppier now especially when shifting. Seemed to reduce that initial lag of response right after you shift. Even if the TIP...

    I think I broke it

    So I was putting the PG TIP in tonight and everything was fine and dandy until I go to connect the hose from the boost solenoid to the nipple on the TIP and the hose was a little too short....so I go to try and stretch it across and I snapped the plastic nipple off the boost solenoid or whatever...

    Changed spark plugs, differential oil, and transfer case oil...WOW!!

    I switched out my transfer case and differential oil at 30K and it really felt like it made a big difference in the shifting. It may just be in my head though...but the gears feel like they shift much smoother. I used Amsoil and some other brand (maybe Mobil 1?) I don't remember since I...

    MS6 vs Lancer Ralliart?

    Has anyone driven a new Lancer Ralliart? Just wondering how it compares to the MS6 when driving it. How are the paddle shifters and or how fast does it feel compared to the MS6? One thing I do like better is the option for a better factory stereo. Comments? Concerns?

    Amazing what resetting the learning curve can do!

    I installed my xcarlink usb/mp3/card reader last weekend which had me disconnect the battery. I have noticed a monstrous difference in the way the car drives and shifts now.....wow the car actually feels smooth to me now. At first I thought maybe it was just me...but after a week now the car...

    Whistling noise?

    I have recently noticed a high pitched whistiling noise coming from the engine at idle when I start the vehicle up. Is this a normal noise? I guess I haven't noticed the noise before so I was just wondering if anyone has this also. You can hear it inside the car with the windows up and also...

    What to choose?

    Ok so I am torn between two things here....so I thought I would get some opinions. I recently received some birthday money and I am deciding to either get the xcarlink mp3/usb unit or to throw the elemental designs sub and an amplifier to replace the pos bose sub. The question is what would...
