    Music Sound Quality

    As others have said, AM reception on non-mac (i.e. sanyo) cars is poor. FM is OK. I don't think it is a radio issue either, likely the antenna.. My JVC replacement head unit AM reception is equally poor.

    Wayne Dalton i-drive garage door opener?

    One last idea. Could you have traditional swing out carriage doors instead of the usual overhead door? There might be other opener options for swing out doors. A quick google seach came up with this opener, but there isn't a good picture. It looks to me like it might mount on the header above...

    Wayne Dalton i-drive garage door opener?

    Do your pillars run all the way to the ceiling? If not, you can move the garage door tracks up to the ceiling and put in high lift drums, springs, etc. "Then" you might have room for a jackshaft opener like the liftmaster 3800 mentioned above. I have this opener installed and it is much...

    Oil filter warning

    No problems with my MANN HU 925 filters either. Silverbullet, can you post a picture of your "bad" filters? Maybe there is something we can see.

    What is a paint job worth?

    What is your goal for the paint job? If you want it to be show quality that seems like the going rate. If you want it to be like the factory did it it seems like overkill. I'm sure most of the price is the labor for the prep work. I wonder if you wouldn't get a "factory" quality job at maaco...

    SEMA Stop Tech CC Brake Rotor

    While I'm no brake engineer (although I did say at a hoiliday inn last night) I'd be worried that a solution that requires larger wheels would defeat the purpose. The weight reduction of the rotors would be offset by the weight increase of bigger wheels. This upgrade is probably too much for...

    Cruise to Starved Rock Ottawa IL 11/10/07

    I didn't think about it until now, but when we race (my wife and I both run a formula continetal in scca) I'll put a note on here. Maybe someone needs an excuse to come out and watch an scca road race?

    Cruise to Starved Rock Ottawa IL 11/10/07

    Bummer, this morning I thought I might be able to join you at starved rock. I thought I would contact Jason and caravan the GT and Maurader together. But now it looks like a no go. I'm selling a snowmobile trailer and expect some people to look at it this weekend. So instead of riding in the...

    Ford's "Forty Nine" concept

    I might bite if you were thinking the Ford 427 Concept became the Ford 500.. http://www.supercars.net/cars/2241.html

    Ford's "Forty Nine" concept

    I'd love to see the '49 concept made it into a real car. I'd buy it! I heard it was shelved in favor of our GT. I just can't believe that the Ford 500 is based at all on the 49 concept. Its a streach for me to believe a 2 door v8 rwd concept becomes a 4 door front driver.. (except in NASCAR)...

    rear seation question

    Don't slam your clam! (I should trademark that.. ha) It can over extend and scratch the paint on the scoops! Adjust the latches. I adjusted mine so I just lean on the corner to compress the weatherstrip. I latch the right and left side separately. Remember, don't slam your clam!

    Heffner Exhaust

    Does anyone know if the Heffner designed for the bumper delete can be run "with" the bumper? I'm not decided if I'll do the bumper delete, but this might keep me from having to buy 2 exhausts? oops did I just hijack this thread? Should I start a new thread?

    The Stillen catalog has GT pads with the same part numbers as the WRX, so there is another source.

    Need a set of radio removal tools

    I assume you need the tool to pull a mcintosh radio? If so you're getting the right part. If you're pulling a sanyo radio you're not. Just checking as I made a set of sanyo tools anyone can borrow if they need it.
