    Void Warrantee??

    as has been pointed out "void warranty" is not referring to the whole vehicle warranty but to a specific part that has failed... and, the failure is determined to have been caused by the aftermarket part. and I'd argue that if a wheel hub, ball joint, or some other wheel or suspension...

    Void Warrantee??

    NOTE: manufacturers and perhaps some dealers do read the different forum sites to see what people do to their vehicles - so it always amuses me to see a sig with a long list of mods done (for bragging) - then have same person whine about warranty issues later!!?? keep a low profile folks!

    "Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act" read up on it. http://www.mlmlaw.com/library/guides/ftc/warranties/undermag.htm http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnuson-Moss_Warranty_Act any time I have a dealer threaten me with a "we won't fix it under warranty" comment - I simply (and nicely) asked them to put it...

    AC on the 3s sucks?

    well then that's why mine sucks - cuz it blows (non-cold air)? (rlaugh) so let's rephrase the question - is it a throttle position or a certain RPM that causes the AC clutch to disengage - and what is it? (ie. full throttle, or 5,500 RPM?) if we knew what is was we could work with it instead...

    AC on the 3s sucks?

    mine sucks too... dealer said it's working as designed! (flame) has anyone confirmed the compressor clutch/RPM thing on the MS3? (I too had it on another car - but it only disengaged AC clutch at WOT) It would be nice to verify this and know at what RPM the compressor clutch is disengaging...

    Mobile Trojan

    they can steal it by dragging it down the road or putting it on a flat bed... someone wants it bad enough - it's gone no matter what is in there... I pay monthly insurance so I don't have to worry about it.

    How to increase your MPG buy almost 2

    aaaah, ok that is a pretty big generalization though as they carry a lot of name brand items in addition to the el-cheapo's. (have not tried the wally brand gas) as I stated - have used costco & sams premium gas for years in my 3 high performance vehicles - never had issues - hence my curiosity...

    How to increase your MPG buy almost 2

    anyone figure out what brand fuel walmart/samsclub/costco/7-eleven etc is most like? supposedly the fuels coming through the fuel pipe lines going state to state are the same (ie. there is only 1 pipe line - not 1 for each brand/company?) - the additives get added and tweaks performed by the...

    nope my VIN is within the list of recalled VIN - BUT, maybe they did the "port" fix? built in May 07, arrived port June 13th? hmmm it has a sticker on firewall saying "Port Campaign Rework # 746 Port Code 49154 Date: 6-13-07" so maybe I did get the fix? (spin)
