You certainly have the right attitude when it comes to this.
Good outlook to have.

OVERHEATED. (notcool) Doing some searching now to narrow down my troubleshooting. Radiator / overflow is full - no leaks or cracks anywhere. I've only got 45K on the clock but I'm quickly guessing the thermostat or water pump. Feel free to chime in if this is a known issue ...

You're on the right track Bala. If the fluids lvls are fine and you don't see any cracks. I would be willing to guess its the t-stat.
I started altering the Splitsecond Supermap to fit my car. The AFC is not installed yet but I added 0.2 to all the values to the supermap (make it richer) for the first few runs. I'm also looking at an older AFR printout to see where problem spots might be. Man, I want to get this thing installed!
If you have the stock grill you will need to cut some of the grill off the back below the top, nothing anyone can see. Very easy.
Mark, that SUCKS!!!
looks a lot like what someone did to my car earlier this week, except mine's a bit bigger and on the driver's side rear fender/bumper - stupid asshole, not knowing how to park (rant)
sorry to hear that Patrick... did you catch it right away? Hopefully you can find the problem and remedy it easily and cheaply.Bala de Plata said:
because i'm still considering all possibilities and options for my car, i'm just curious what a fair price for my car would be. she's got a hair over 64k miles on her, in very good shape (minus those damn scratches on the rear bumper), and i have all records for her. one of hubby's co-workers may be interested in it for his son and i don't want to low or high ball, yet i want to get my money's worth if i do end up selling.

as is or stock?
well i tightened the belts again and it stopped squeeling for a little while but now it started again once i left my g/fs house on a cold start.
how tight is too tight on the belts? someone i was told a little less than 1/2 deflection and that is about what they are at.... they are new belts but should they need tightening this often?

16x7
That 225 should fit, get some decent negative camber in the rear and roll the fenders. Also get a higher offset (maybe +48/50) if you can. Stiff spring rates are also very helpful!
Unfortunately I've only been able to find the Gram Lite in +46. Anyhow, aren't the RPF1 16x7's only +43? That's all I've seen of them (according to AutoRnD). I'm really trying to find a nice (decent quality) 16x7 wheel with a +48 offset so I can run some 225/45's without much problem. I really don't want Rota's. I wish the 16x7 RPF1's came in +48...16x7

Had a well deserved "blue moon" maintenance experience. Called down to the dealer for the t-stat at 6:40p - they closed at 7:00p and had it waiting for me when I got there at 6:55. I had it changed out and was ripping up the canyon before 8:00p and the problem is fixed. (cabpatch)
Yeah they are only +43. I'm either going to run 205 or 215 width tires. Good enough for my street driving, heh.
You don't want Rotas due to style or concern on the quality? They are great quality wheels, especially for the price.
Anyway, the only thing I'd watch out for with the 225/45 tire is your suspension setup. I don't know how low those springs are, but you lack the ability to adjust ride height and spring rates that coilovers have; definite pluses to keeping those back tires from rubbing when the suspension compressions. But people are managing to fit 245 tires on there, so it shouldn't be any problem

yeah i had fun with my UDP back when i got it installed, brought it back several times for squealing. during the winter, i still get some squealing on a cold start but it goes away. u have to play with it and make tiny adjustments at this point. my mechanic was afraid to over tighten and have the belts snap, so he just kept slightly tightening until we got it right, good luck!! that squeal is loud as hell too, esp. with fans or lights on...wake up the whole damn neighborhood
