I've tried searching this, but I can't see where anyone else has asked a similar question... My driver side front fender liner is mysteriously and seriously goobered. I'm POSITIVE it doesn't have anything to do with trying to win the coveted "cone killer" trophy autocrossing... I mean there is...

I have an appointment at 10 today (in about an hour and a half) to get an amp and front speakers installed. I have the OEM programmer to remove the factory processing, and used that this morning. But, I can't really tell a difference in sound! Well, not at 6 this morning anyway. I was...

This may sound like a dumb question, but I've been asking a lot of dumb audio questions here recently, so what's one more. Right? I've replaced coaxial speakers before, and that's easy-peasy once you get the door panel off. But I've never played with component speakers before. Exactly what is...

I made an appointment for my amp install for Monday. I'm getting the Phoenix Gold Ti2 1600.5. It puts out 125Wx4 into 4 ohms. http://phoenixgold.com/catalog/amplifiers/1600w-5-channel-amplifier I'll be using the harness by OEMRadio, as well as removing the factory processing. For the...

I have another thread asking how to remove the rotors. If I ever manage to get the danged things off, can I paint the center portions of the rotor (front and back) as well as the wheel hub to keep them from rusting again? If so, can I just use like a hi-temp engine paint?

Here's my upgrade plan - I'd love to hear feedback and recommendations, especially on what brands to avoid or steer towards... I'm looking to get more oomph and clarity out of the system. I want to be able to clearly hear my music when on the highway with the windows down, but I don't want it...

How do you remove these rotors? I was replacing a wheel stud yesterday, and everything I'd seen says to remove the clips holding the rotors, and they would just slide off. But, mine didn't have any clips, and they wouldn't budge! There was also a lot of rust on the center portion of the...

Sync still sucks. Phone works ok, but Pandora won't let me skip songs or change stations. Tried a master reset, etc, etc, etc with no luck. Is it even worth trying to pull the fuse or do I just live with a system this bad? What a pain in the butt.

Looks like tomorrow has a 70 % chance of being my first autocross in wet weather. Any tips? I'm running FS, RE71R's, strano rear bar on full stiff, '16 GT PP. Tire pressure suggestions? Nannies on or off?

My RE71R's are on the way, but I've never had a racing tire before. Is there anything I need to do to them before my first autocross event? I'll be driving on them about 60 miles, with 32 of them on the highway. Will this be enough to scrub them in and get rid of any release agent from...

I've been shopping for these tires, and called a local Discount Tire. They gave me a good total price - within a couple dollars of what I would get thru TireRack.com + install. I was ready to pull the trigger, when they asked what vehicle these were going on. When I told him, he told me he...

I'm looking to get a set of 275/35-19 RE-71R's for autocrossing. I'll have them mounted locally on my PP wheels. Any recommendations for the best place to buy these? I know tirerack seems popular, but wondered if there are other places a bit cheaper before I pull the trigger...

I'm looking for autocross tires, and of course, I'm reading how great the RE-71R's are performing. We have a guy in our club that is running the Nexen's and having excellent results with them, and if IIRC he got 2nd overall against some very good competition. Has anyone here run the Nexen's...

My next autocross is in early February. I have a GTPP, and I'll have Steeda fixed valve shocks and struts with the slotted struts. I'll still be wearing the stock Pirelli tires. How competitive and I going to be against this car? Will it come down to driver skill? Or will it be like when I was...

I'm getting within a couple months of needing to buy a set of tires for autocross. I'm driving a GT PP, and staying in FS, so my wheels will be the factory 19x9 up front with the 19x9.5 in the back. These tires will be dedicated to autocrossing only, with maybe a track day or two thrown in, but...

Another Android update, another bout of Pandora not working. It was all working fine. If I turned the radio off before shutting down the engine (or at least before I opened the door), Pandora would re-connect when I started back up no problem. If I forgot to turn the radio off, then I could...

Like the title says, I'm interested in a set of jacking rails. Any deals or sales going on or upcoming? I like the Steeda because of the price point, but I am having trouble convincing myself having the jack stands so close together is ok. It just doesn't look as stable as the full length...

So I know since jacking rails aren't listed in the rules, they are not allowed for F-Street. Why is that? Do they really stiffen the chassis that much? Is there a significant performance advantage to using them? I hate using the pinch welds every time I have to change tires out, and a set of...

I have a GT PP, with a Strano rear bar added, running in FS. I've read that the end links are a weak point, and with the Cyber Monday sales, I'm wondering if that would be a good thing to change. How weak are the factory end links? If so, can I only change the end links on the rear with the...
