    Air bag light

    7600 miles in and my air bag light is flashing. I hope this isn't going to be the level of quality during the life of me owning this car. It is one long and 2 short flashes. It did it the other day and then stopped. Now it's doing it every time I start the car. Considering that it's not...

    Thinking about rims on mp5

    Awesome, thanks! I really appreciate ya'lls patience with me ;-). I dig those rims too. They look sweet. I'm considering something black though. Gloss black since my car is a high-gloss red. Not going for rice, of course, but I've just thought that combo, with tinted windows, looks pretty...

    Thinking about rims on mp5

    Yeah, I know; and I know who he is. I read that part but it doesn't answer my question. I want to know, basically, where is the edge of the rim going to show up in relation to the fender? That part isn't answered anywhere in there. I appreciate the large and extensive thread that he was...

    Thinking about rims on mp5

    Eventually...anyways. I'm not big on 6" wide tires for a car that has such good handling characteristics. Eventually I'll probably lower it a little (coil overs) and slap some upgraded sway bars under there just in case that makes a difference on what rims will fit. The look I like is when...

    Asymetrically correct? Mirror question

    Thanks for the fast response. Just curious if anyone else has noticed this too? Granted, now there are 3 of us but still.. it'd be nice to know how on earth to get the chair and mirrors adjusted to exactly where they should be as a 6-foot tall gent like myself without nailing my knees on the...

    Asymetrically correct? Mirror question

    Are the side mirrors supposed to be turned in at different angles? The driver's side mirror snaps to rest position so that the side facing me is smooth across the hinge joint. The passenger's side mirror snaps to the rest position in such a way that is about 10 degrees further in, and of...

    Hi! I'm new.

    I sust picked her up on the 21st and I'm totally stoked. Love the car. No mods (can't afford it). I need a J.O.B. before I do anything to her. And frankly, I'm thinking about just leaving her almost stock. Only a different filter and some red-line fluids <shrug>. Anyways, just say'n hi...
