    Dashhawk

    SOLD! I have a used Dashhawk for sale Included is the Dashhawk, OBDII cable, and the original box. The Dashhawk has an aluminum "L" bracket attached to it, with velcro on the bottom. The cable has been repaired; it was this way when I bought it. It has always functioned flawlessly. I think...

    Suspension (end link) question has me puzzled...

    A while back I purchased from a 247 member a Whiteline adjustable rear sway bar and both front and rear AWR adjustable end links. My question is, what does the adjustable part of the end links get me...is shorter better? Is it a matter of feel? I bought them because of the difference in the...

    Using Photobucket, now all my pics are tiny?

    Hi, I've been posting on here for a while and all of a sudden all the pics I upload from photobucket are much smaller than everyone else's. I'm thinking I changed some setting within photobucket, but I can't find anything like that. If I select "resize" the only options I'm offered are "small"...

    Rounded off oil drain plug, need help!

    My fianc has a 2004 Volvo S60 which she has always taken to Valvoline or Jiffy Lube for oil changes, with predictable results: the drain plug (17mm) is rounded off and way to tight. I bought the stuff to do an oil change, but cannot get the plug off. Barring better advice from here, my new...

    Long-Term Fuel Trims too high...AEM CAI to blame?

    I bought a used AP from another member (thanks, LOLWOT!), and it arrived yesterday. I am itching to try it out on my MS6, but I felt I should make sure the car is performing correctly on the stock map first. I have an AEM CAI as my only current breathing mod, and I have never thrown a CEL...

    Procrastination

    Those are my ultra-high performance summer tires on those RX-8 wheels...the stockers are inside the house, with Kumho Ecsta ASX all-season tires. I might have waited a little too long... (shrug) lol

    Any other Firefighters in here?

    Just curious who other than me rides on Big Red for a living. What department, how big, pro or voly, what rank, schedule (24/48, or what),etc. I'm a Fire Training Officer (Captain) for The Louisville Fire Department. We have about 450 firefighters in uniform on three shifts, 24 on, 48 off...

    You know you are driving a MS6 when...

    ...even the MS3 guys don't realize you aren't driving a regular 6. I revel in my sleeper status, but sometimes it gets ridiculous. Anyone else?

    Christmas lights in my trunk? How?

    OK, maybe a stupid question, and I'm actually asking about Halloween lights (they're purple!) for a "trunk or treat" event, but "Christmas lights" made more sense. Anyway, what I am asking is: Is there a simple way to supply power to a couple of strings of incandescent (not LED) bulbs to the...

    How old are your "new" tires

    Some of you may have seen this before; I just got it in my e-mail inbox and thought it was worth passing along. I'm going to go home and find out just how new my new tires really are. From ABC news: Aged Tires, A Driving Hazard? http://abcnews.go.com/Video/playerIndex?id=4826897

    Lost 7 lbs. per corner

    Finally put tires on the RX-8 wheels I bought from ForceFed back in the fall. I knew the RX-8 wheels were lighter than the stockers, and the tires I bought were listed at 21 pounds each, about 3 pounds less than most other UHP summer tires. Just for comparison I decided to weigh each combo...

    Load rating...how important?

    I've seen this mentioned before, but I searched and could not find what I was looking for. The stock tires on the MS6 are rated at 93, which translates to a max load of 1,433 lbs. per tire. I am currently on stock wheels with Kumho Ecsta 225/40R18's. When I bought them, I was thinking the...

    Dealers must be under the screws

    Ok, just read the title, and I'm not sure that makes sense...I think I might be mixing my metaphors... Anyway, I took my car in for some service at my dealer and was basically dissatisfied with the level of communication I received. I had a leaking transfer case, for which they had ordered...

    Factory-match paint from a rattle can?

    Anybody know where I can get spray paint to match the factory finish? I have some eyelids I want to try on the car (free from Kypatrick...thanks, bro!) and I don't want to have to go to a body shop for two little pieces of plastic.

    Mazda 3 being stolen video

    This is probably fake, and probably a repost, but I just saw it. Here's the link: http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=46216667 The "discussion" (I feel like I've lost 10 IQ points) basically agrees that its a fake. Some of them think its an MS3.

    Leaking transfer case and lots of smoke

    Took my car in for an oil change,test pipe/CAI still in place. Thought it was taking awhile, and the service guy finally tells me that my transfer case is leaking, but not where the TSB says it should be (apparently the TSB was spawned by problems in the CX-7), so he had to order parts and sent...
