damn that's a sharp car

i have a set of 16" nexo nt-05 with rubber that i may be willing to give up. let me know and i'll get real pics for you.

how do you now if your mounts are needing to be replaced (can't interpret the sarcasm in this thread!)? just vibrations? what are you looking for visually? my car has a slight but noticeable & annoying shimmy at highway speeds. i was thinking it might be tire balance, but worn mounts do this...

2 new front calipers getting installed now. hopefully that's the only issue!

i quickly talked myself out of playing with the brakes and called the shop to take it in tomorrow. no doubt that's beyond me at this point. i'm keeping my fingers crossed that that's what the problem is at this point. sounds like an easier/cheaper fix than ignition/timing. thanks again!

i agree, i don't think it was the resetting the ECU, but pumping the brakes to do so.. at least that fits the timeline of the problem anyhow. brake work is probably beyond my DIY level. at least now i have an idea what to tell the shop when i take it in. thanks for all the insight.

i hope someone's still following this: i think i may have the problem identified to the brakes: after i originally replaced the plugs/wires, i reset the ECU by disconnecting the battery and pumping the brakes to drain the charge. since that time (maybe 3 weeks) i had noticed quite a bit of...

could i be misfiring a cylinder without the CEL? i retightened the plugs and wires this morning before i left the house but it still acted up. would an issue with the timing behave like this?

no CEL. installed 0.044" gap plugs (NGX iridiums), but i'll double-check to make sure everything's still tight. how would i know if a coil has gone bad?

hope someone can give some insight to my problem: a few weeks back i changed out the plugs and wires in my 02 p5 and dropped in a new K&N air filter in hopes of improving gas mileage and bringing back a little more zip to the performance. reading through the board, i got the idea to reset the...
