    caliper painting question

    if i were you i would def rough up the surfaces. but the reason they look dusty is because your calipers are getting really hot! you should go to AZ or advance and buy engine enamel with ceramic. it will withstand temps up to 1400 deg. F. (or something like that). i did the same to my 69 SS...

    What exactly does the DSC do?

    You are correct. but it also applies brakes to the inside just not as much. that way you dont end up on 2 wheels.

    you may have to reprogam your PCM for the higher amounts of air going into the system. more air means more fuel. the o2s are trying to comp for the more fuel youre throwing into the system. so much that its setting a code. looks like a trip to the dealer.

    Help with radio

    whoever told you that was possible was on crack! the headunit doesnt hook up to the PCM in any way, shape or form. go to AZ or advance, or NAPA and buy a diag. machine for about $200. thats the only way it is possible

    seatbelt light

    You can turn it off if you go to the dealer... they have to reprogam the comp... but you had better have a damn good excuse why you want it off other than you just dont want to wear your belt. but to me that sounds like a moto rider not wearing a helmet so they dont messup their hair. what good...

    re-wire fogs ?

    The reason the fogs stay on for 5-15 sec is because the relay doesnt time out until that period of time. it's just like the fuel pump relay... listen for your fuel pump the next time you turn your car off. its the same concept. and btw, this does work, just did it to my mz3.
