    Mt 82 weird 3rd gear grinding issue

    My 2012 GT decided to start giving me fits. I had it at the dealership (7500 miles on the clock) for 2nd gear lock out, occasional 3rd gear grinding from second, and occasional 5th gear going up and down shifts. They of course could not reproduce it. So I put in a whiteline insert and called it...

    Dropping the K member for header install?

    Car is finally going under the knife for the header install. I'm dropping the K member. My question is where are all of you that drop the K member supporting the car in the front? I use the K member as my jack points. If it's dropped how do I keep the car in the air to work on it?

    plasti dip?

    I have been pondering the idea of dipping my textured plastic parts flat black. Has anyone tried it? My main concern is that it won't come back off if I decide I don't like it or I want to change it up. Opinions?

    GT 500 strut mount question

    So I noticed when I opened up my gt500 strut mount there is an arrow on them. I am assuming it should point to the front of the car? I also read that if it points to the motor you can gain some negative camber. Is this true?

    Anyone else think a sticky where everyone can post their exhaust set ups and videos would be a good idea? I am constantly looking for videos to help me make up my mind on what I want to buy for exhaust. A sticky with multiple set ups in one easy to find area would be great. Anyone with me?

    over axle pipes

    Are there any aftermarket 3" over axle pipes on the market? I want to run full 3". I'm leaning towards the MBRP headers and o/r h pipe but I don't want their axle back. So I'm looking for 3" over axle pipes to run to another axle back. Any suggestions? Car will be NA for a while.

    As gay as this might sound, I was wondering if anyone has had a tune, or if it can me done with a tune, the cam timing changed for a rough loping idle. seems to me this should be completely possible with changing the LSA. just something I have been kicking around. Thought I would ask. Chris

Had to throw it in the tub and use alky, then dawn...
