The light will come on if the fluid level is low; in addition to when the parking brake is applied. ;) :withstupid: This, among other things, can be avoided with a simple fluid check from time to time. As a general rule, any system that runs too low on fluid (engine, trans, brakes, coolant) will al...

^Ah ha ok cool. Are those the only non-neon axles that can be used or are there multiple PT/Shadow passenger ones that will work (if you know)? I hear you on bikes being fast off the line. Still impressive nonetheless. I saw a video of an 850HP S2K beating up on a 1000cc on the freeway and was blown...

It looks like anything but coilovers would be a waste of your money with all the fees etc when you look at what you're getting for the price. Considering that coilovers are the absolute best option for suspension anyway, I would save up and do it right. If you want to maintain a softer ride, have BC...

It's not possible that he FIXED the damage? Come on people... Maybe he took the pics prior to the repairs and didn't take new ones before posting it up, who knows. And you really think he would advertise it as being in decent shape when he knows good and well that anyone who wants to buy it is going...

Any "OEM replacement" strut is not designed to be used with lowering springs. They are valved for the frequency of the stock spring rates, and will not perform properly with shorter, higher rated springs. This doesn't 100% mean that they won't last or that they will ride bad, it just means they won'...

Not necessarily, the front spring/struts are shorter than the rears, and are also higher in rate. When I had my TEIN/Tokico HP setup on the car, I could remove the rear springs without a compressor, since they were so short and relatively soft. The front were tight within the strut and required a co...

Ok so here's the deal. It's 2011, not 2001. Body kits don't win car shows like they did 10 years ago. That style is all but dead. The "it's a show car" excuse no longer makes body kits legit, since the majority of modern show cars (that actually place in shows) are being built with quality parts and...

Lower temps are a plus, but the potential for weather exposure is something to consider, especially with an aftermarket install that doesn't completely isolate the battery. I get the best of both worlds with it in the trunk, with the addition of extremely easy access. And now that I moved it out of ...

^Interesting. I hate it when people on the other .org know things that we don't over here! Why do the smart people over there not come and share the info with the REAL 2gn people?!

Put my battery in a fender! May be able to adapt a 2003+ Stratus/Sebring battery tray for that? Did those come in the fender I assume? News to me. I would recommend putting the battery in the rear of the car for anyone wanting to relocate it. Unless the weight balance doesn't matter to you, in whic...

I've found better butt-dyno gains from weight reduction and drivetrain mods. Bolt ons don't make peak power as much as they help the powerband, so you don't feel it as much nor see it on paper. Most CAI's are only good for 1-2hp total, but could see as much as 7-8hp in the midrange, which is where t...

That's ok johnny, I have the people that don't like the kit and I have the ones that do. We all have different tastes, if we all had the same thing, life would sucks.
