ok let's get this back on topic. screw gas and oil. let's talk about our ATX's.

If we're too stubborn and want to keep our ATX's what should we do first? LSD maybe?

In response to your post: I use regular 5W-30 oil. As long as you stay on top of your oil changes you'll be fine. Synthetic is like feeding your engine caviar though... Since we don't have turbos or viper engines I think synthetic is a little overkill IMO. They did a report on the news here in VA on...

there isn't space to drill?

That would be my first suggestion. If you have a place for the 02 downstream sensor, you just need to find a place to drill for the upstream sensor.

You could also engine brake at the same time. Trains do it... why not you? you're driving along at 40-70 and you need to make a panic stop. Down shift with your MTX to third or so (don't know the gear ratios of MTX's) on the highway (if no one is around so you don't get slammed in the rear) or if yo...

ceramic pads are supposed to be quiet until they are going bad. There's a squeak built in when you're getting low to let you know it's time to change your pads. I'm not sure what it could be if it happens all the time. My srt rear discs make squeaking sounds when i take the ebrake off after being pa...

So if you have alot of electrical components such as a big system, tvs, neons etc you shouldnt get the udp? why? Don't. You don't want to be sitting at a light at night and need a jump.

Borla by mopar catback. I have a magnaflow, and I like it, but the borla by mopar was sold from a local dealer for $300. I got mine for $350. remember that you car is going to be much louder now and you're the one who has to live with it (and listen to how much your girlfriend/wife/kids hate it).

Nothing like that, but most folks opinion (here anyway) will lean towards not liking the bodykit idea. More folks lean towards the "function over form" way of doing things.
