holy s***!! i mean holy s*** thats alot. Thats the lifetime membership with free towing loaner cars and get out jail free card right!?
- Oakland thanks for the clarifications on a fairly complicated issue. you sir are an asset to our forum!
_ Got my ETS 3.5 Top Mount back from warranty repair. i had it for almost 3 years and it cracked. They covered it completely. The folks at Extreme Turbo Systems welded brand new end tanks and shroud mounts, plus a new water jet cut shroud. looks fabulous! and i might be one of the few who have the big 3.5.
A happy day indeed. One more step closer to getting back on the road! Thanks ETS!!!

1 year membership
no get out of jail free card
no loaner cars
hardly any pot hole repair (I've reported the same one twice now and it has yet to get fixed.)
no coverage if you damage something on a pothole (ask me how I know...)

 

[ericrapp]

pot holes, dont get me started.

FSD. From what I've read they make the ride both smoother than stock, and corner better than stock. I don't know if I could live with the rectal-shattering ride of a track-focused suspension in NYC (having lived there for four years).

Debating on trading her in...maybe pickup a lightly used s2k or new 3.8 rspec genesis coupe

 

[Rotus]

<---- queues up for part out sale

Why the 3.8 Genesis and not the turbo?

 

[Jdm_Mica]

Wanna try something different...i guess. V6 sounds great!

 

[Domino81]

It's ******* orgasmic. And it's WAAAAY prettier than the Nissan.

 

[oaklandopen]

Drove her for the first time in over a week, after hauling a camper with the truck. I think it gained a million hp since I've been gone

And I've been wanting to test drive that genesis 3.8 for forever. although I'm waiting for the ft86 or the subi to come out and see how that does a possible ms3 replacement

I installed a CorkSport LED Light Kit today. The LED's are nice and bright!

Agreed! FSD FTW!!

if i were to get a genesis it would be the 2.0, rip the motor out, build it and throw it back in, the 3.8 is extremely unbalanced and nose heavy. hyundai had a promo last year in NY and they set up an autox track, letting you drive both engines with either manual or automatic rannies. that was my experience anyway

 

[oaklandopen]

Methinks the 2.0t is from the EVO

Nevermind...I. read the block was very similar but not identical. But that probably means that the aftermarket for the smaller turbo engine is better than for the V6

And on another note....I gots 'ta clean my car today. The newspaper had a promo code for a local car was that I might use. $6 for their $12 wash, free vacuum

 

[Tronspeed3]

put new plugs in today, the old ones had orange tips? I don't know whats that means.....

 

[ericrapp]

that is less than favorable especially with that big gap. i hope it is driving better now

 

[oaklandopen]

orange tip means there's too much vitamin C in your gasoline

 

[DanglyBitz]

pulled out and was completely disgusted with my cpe rmm, its torn to shreds. gonna get it warrantied and then put the new one up for sale


ordered a jbarone dogbone rmm

That is a by product of high cylinder heat ( meaning you need a colder range plug ). Also it could be from the fuel you use also. Some companies put dye in there gasoline , exxon uses a pinkish color.

 

[ericrapp]

the big gap also says you are running hot and wearing plugs out. little red is correct imho. and none of us want to run too hot, seriously. so i am glad you posted up with the question. you might have done your motor some good
never heard about the gas thing though?.
