That sucks!
I run with advance trac and everything off all the time, for just that reason!
About 2 months after I got my car a guy cut me off and when I had to gas it to react my car went a little sideways and I lost all power and almost hit another car next to me!
I get in start the car and while it is warming up I shut everything off, my daily routine!
Really hate to hear what happened to you!
Hope you get it put back together soon!

So you press the button next to the shifter?

My 03 had it tuned off, so I was used to it. When I got this one, I hadn't really explored the limits of the car yet, so I didn't want to be driving a 400+ rwhp car without "knowing it" well, so I've left them on. But I've gotten sideways in this car with TC all on plenty of times, and it lets you catch it. I was just past the angle threshold where it kicked in. That and the guy didn't brake (to my knowledge) and clearly didn't swerve to avoid me. Like I said, I'll take my lumps for the car getting away from me...just sucks I was able to save the spin but the TC was countering my counter steer...and the other dude didn't really make an attempt to not hit me. It was a pretty hard smack.

Yup, hold it down for 7-8 sec. while stopped, and foot on brake.
Puts you in complete control!
I'm not saying this is for everyone!

How did you get the rubber nub in the hole? I just installed the bracket under the metal lip in preparation for when my hood strut comes in and the nub is way below the surface of the metal lip.

I am also trying to move my sound tube under the metal lip but I think mine is shaped differently and won't sit very well underneath. Am I missing something because I'd like to get my sound tube remounted as neatly as yours.

If you have the 401A interior (stainless steel shift ****), you won't need the retainer. Mine was a direct swap.

Maximum Motorsports 4-point roll bar
Rear seat delete (the WAY over-priced and low-quality AM one)

Does anyone know of a custom trunk panel setup? I think I want to get rid of the floppy almost-carpet one.

EDIT - Found a place that sells metal panels:

Yes you are correct. I cut a chunk out of the middle of the rubber isolator. Looks and fits great after you do that.

Patrick, sorry about your car. I hope you get it fixed soon. I do wish the TC didn't just kill things like it does. I've had it kick in on more than one occasion. It scared me the first time - I thought the engine just died.
