Mine remains stock - only area I may upgrade is the brakes once the originals require replacement. The local viper tech made that as the one and only upgrade suggestion based on the way I treat and drive the car. :drive:
Tom and Guys:
No, I don't want to store a bunch of oil for five years but, I buy the stuff when WalMart has it on sale. Sometimes I can lose track of how old it is and, if a refrigerator would "help" it stay fresh (I have a beer "kegerator" in the garage) then why not toss a few five quart jugs...
For anyone interested - I have a driver side hood hinge that was collapsing on itself. The hinge and spring assembly should fold down closely beside each other but mine was not doing that. A fluke according to the viper tech who diagnosed the problem. Parts are on order and the install should...
I don't believe the problem is the release latch or cable system that operates it. As I have been trying to find the pinpoint the precise location of the interference, I have noticed that the support bar that has the engineered "kink" in it is beginning to bend. So, the hinge assembly that is...
Ok, thanks. Haven't been in there with any tools lately. Eric might be onto something with the pin. if a hinge is bad I wonder if that would be covered under the extended service contract I bought?
Guys:
I can't even get the back of the hood (nylon roller) to set down. Picture this: When you close the hood, you move the back side (closes to the windshield) from open to where the nylon rollers touch. I can only get the backside of the hood half-way there and something in the driver side...
Eric: Absolutely no tweaking done anywhere. When closing the hood it simply stops when about half-way down. Feels like a semi-metallic clunk. Like the hood is touching a predetermined stop and wants to go no further. :(
No, it's not the typical question on where to place your hands on the hood itself. Has anybody had an interference problem (with the hinges - specifically the driver's side) whereby the hood will not close? I am able to get my hood about 50% closed and something is stopping it from closing...
I still like the Startech 20" chromes (KurtZ's photo already posted). Downside is their cost and that they are much heavier than the factory wheel. I heard like 60 lbs. each ??? :(
Use a turkey baster. remove the hose from the overflow tank and simply pump it in there. Place some towels around so you don't make too much of a mess.
