Thanks d00d's Now FS vs. ZM which is the '03 MSP?

75,000 thousand. How do I tell if the rollers are bad? Measure or obvious bearing wear?

I've got the factory manual and the parts...Any gottcha's too look for? thanks

HI gang sound only happens when the car is full of 4 adults. No obvious visible damage, no wiggle in the wheel like a bad bearing. Any thoughts?

(yupnope) Hi gang! The car was broken into on Labor day. The jackasses trashed the dash, heater control unit, facia etc... State Farm want to replace it with a kenwood KDCMP828, which looks like it does all the same things but also has a color screen. Anybody got any experience with this...

Hi gang, I'm sure this is obvious to many of you. Sometimes my stock MSP after sitting overnight will 'knock' three or four times as soon as the engine fires. Only happens a few days a week, might happen less frequently after an oil change (mobil15-30). Doesn't matter if it's winter or summer...

Hi Gang, Pushing that pistion back in so it would clear the new pads was a waste of time. Even with the bleeder open. Fronts were easy. Is there a trick or tool I'm missing. Just trying to put in the OEM rear pads. thanks, e

Hi gang! my '03 sounds like it has an exhaust leak before the turbo. Any thought about where to start looking? Is this a common problem?

Hi gang, Long time no post....Just got the car back after the dealer replaced the bushings and windshield (again). The tech that does the Speed's said he'd heard the new PCM would be out soon, anybody here know anything? Yours in spicy orange, e

I used Dunlop Graspics, from TireRack, on the stock wheels last year without a problem in snow (not counting the time I high-centered (shrug) in fresh snow), it got around better than my neighbor's Forester. They were $92? each.

They're pretty popular with the SoloII STX crowd

I wasn't bashing them, just stating what happend. FWIW, I've owned 2 ACR Neons and loved them both. (until they barffed head gaskets) Just seemed really weird that the wheel came off, and that it was the second time it's happened to him. And all the damage it did when it came off. And that...

I'm not saying there weren't 18 SRT's, just the three I saw on Thursday, I wasn't covering that class. The guy said he also runs in T2 in club racing and that it's happened on that car also. Not saying if that's true either, it's just what he said. It did also happen to an SRT at MAM on a club...

The SRT-4 that runs in CSP ( SP something?) had a wheel sheer right off of his driver's side front yesterday while on course at SCCA SoloII Nationals. The car rolled to a stop on the rotor, until it broke off also. Took out the rotor, wheel, fender, hub, sway bar, knuckle, tie-rod, tire and...

Hold off on the big brakes until you've had some track time. MSP brakes last pretty long as open track days go. Save the money for all the tires you'll be going through....(sssh)

There are two different kinds of drilled rotors, where the holes are cast into the rotor and those where the holes are drilled into otherwise normal rotors. The drilled holes tend to crack with heat stress and create risers that chew up pads, the rotors with the holes cast in live a quite a...

Yes, that's true, I'm now 37. My father was club racing before I was born, when I was 8 or 9 I began to crew for the car and my allowance jobs became things like setting air-temps before the trans-am races, toting gas juggs around and putting the 'heat paint' on the calipers and headers. From...

I asked about WIX filter because there was no local MS dealer for a while and the service department was telling me to go buy a WIX filter. Which seemed a little odd. Though we do use them in most of the race cars. After YOU'VE spent almost 30 years building and preparing cars for SCCA club...

Bill, what else have you learned reading the ads in magazines? Slotted rotors run hotter becuase they can, that's what a rotor is suppoed to do, turn rotational motion into heat. The hotter they run the more torque they and the pads are creating and to slow the car. If you want pads that...
