    All the dealers are charging $5000~$7000 over MSRP

    Welp... I can't say I didn't see this one coming after I noticed similar practices with the Boss 302's. Numerous dealerships I've called inquiring about getting on a waiting list or pre-ordering a new RS have pretty much said that they are requiring a $1000 non-refundable deposit and the car...

    Gauges all randomly go white with car turned off

    Last night we went over to a friends house to drop off some food. We had the baby in the back seat so my wife went in with the food and I stayed in the car with the baby with the car turned off. About 5 minutes after I turned off the car, both gauges just randomly lit up all white and then...

    Power on ignition source?

    I am wanting to install a dash cam in the car and as you all know, the 12v plugs are all always on. I don't want to kill my battery here so I'm looking to hardwire the power in and have the cam turn on when I turn the ignition switch on. I don't want to pull the steering column apart to get...

    AC compressor failed @ 26K miles. Is this normal!?!

    So regarding my thread this weekend about one side of my car blowing cold air and the other hot air, turns out, the car was almost empty of refrigerant. They recharged it with UV dye and discovered a major leak from the compressor and I'm being quoted $1100 to replace it. The car is...

    Drivers side AC vents blowing hot while at max cool settings. Anyone heard of this?

    Like the title says, at maximum cooling, the drivers side AC vents are blowing 80*F air and the passenger side is a much cooler 60*F. Has anyone else experienced this yet? I need to take the car to the dealer to get the oil changed anyways so I'll have them fix it while it's there but I was...

    JLT Oil Separator Repair :(

    This past weekend on the dyno, while removing the coil pack cover, I guess the oil separator got bumped a little too hard and the plastic fitting that screws into the separator housing snapped like a twig. I watched it happen and it was a bare minimum amount of pressure I saw which is pretty...

    1st Time at Dyno - 373 RWHP Stock on 87 octane

    Dropped by a get together at our local dyno. I wasn't planning on dynoing the car at all, hence I had a full tank of 87 octane :( I got persuaded to finally put the car up on the rollers for the first time and see what it had in it. A preface to the video is that this dyno has earned the...

    Catted magnaflow X pipe vs mid pipe w/stock cats?

    I just sent John at Lethal a PM asking him some questions about this but I figured I'd also ask everyone else their thoughts on this in case anyone has any experience with these products. Basically I have the GT500 axlebacks right now and I want a bit more sound from the exhaust but don't...

    HDR photoshoot of my car yesterday - Dialup murder/suicide

    *** PRO TIP *** If the pics are too big for your screen, hold down CTRL and scroll the mouse wheel back to shrink the screen as much as needed. It's been raining for the last week and I haven't gotten a chance to wash the car or take any decent pics since adding the cs/boss splitter and...

    Engine Squealing...anyone heard this yet?

    I've come home from work and a few times the car has made this high pitched squealing sound. I grabbed a portable audio recorder and captured it here. www.drewlankford.com/files/engine_squeal.mp3 sometimes it will be very faint in sound but if I rev the engine a few times, it will get...
