    2002 battery

    Hey guys, My battery has gone south and I need to buy a new one. What size battery is in the 2002 GTS? I know about where it is, is it worth doing yourself if you do not have a lift? The garage quoted me 45 bucks Thanks Matt

    shipping rims

    I have a question for the forum. When shipping wheels via FedEx ground, what's the best way to pack them? I was thinking of using 2 pieces of card board on either side with a piece of styrafoam to protect against the chrome. Heavily taped of course. Would this do any good? Would this do any...

    computer question

    I deleted my CATS on my 2002 GTS. The computer flags the sensors now (expected). I have the simulators to replace them. My question is: will my computer need to be reset in order to get rid of the computer error? or will it go off as soon as I swap them? Thanks

    using a buffer

    Hello all. I am a loyal Zaino guy. Use nothing but Zaino. I recently bought a buffer, just a simple 1 speed 6" buffer. My questions are: What product should I use when using the buffer?

    headers back exhaust

    I am starting my research to look for headers and a high flowing exhaust. My questions are: 1. What kind of set up am I looking for? My interests are sound, price, and preformance. I like the "deep" power sound, the rumble. 2. What kind of $$ is a header back exhaust going to run and were is...

    What the Heck?!?!

    OK... I took my co-worker out for a drive yesterday, we had the windows open. When he shut the door when I dropped him off I heard a bang. I didn't think much of it, I figured he closed the door alittle too hard. Later that evening I took the little lady out and she asked me to shut the...

    Best polish to buy

    I am a loyal Zaino guy, I promote it to everyone and use it religiously. Is Zaino the best though? Are there better polishes out there? When I say best I refer to results, not based on price or time consumed in applying it. Thanks

    straight pipes or catback?

    Hi all, I'm doing some general research on exhausts for my 2002 GTS. Which is better, High Flow Cats and a Catback exhaust or just straight pipes without Cats? I would imagine that straight pipes is louder, but is it to loud? Is there enough back pressure? I also would assume that straight...

    oil change

    Question about the oil change. They say to change it every 6month/7500 miles, I think since I will never reach 7500 a year and I will only drive it during the spring/summer months I will just change it once a year, in the spring. Anyone else do this? Can this be bad? Also does anyone change...
