Sorry about the car Patrick.

 

Yeah, tell me about it. Mine did not feel like being tamed today...


It was. I wasn't playing. Absolutely hate that whole exchange. I'm surprised people don't wreck there more often.

 

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!

 

Shopped American Muscle today. Bought white cue ball shift ****, billet boot retainer, annnnnnd........ the sequencers! (it makes the hazards and brake lights sequence as well).

 

[QUOTE=dohc97;6846279]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.

 

I had no idea, amazing what happens without computers. So that'd be the burnout controller lol

 

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

You have to trim the rubber mount to relocate it. I wish I could take pics but I'm at work (don't tell anyone).

 

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:

[QUOTE=SpectreH;6911990]Yes you are correct. I cut a chunk out of the middle of the rubber isolator. Looks and fits great after you do that.

 

Installed the MGW Race spec shifter. Glad that's over with.

 

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.

 

How'd it turn out?

 

Thanks Triple Black! I'll return it if need be.

 

[QUOTE=SpectreH;6911990]I won't tell.

I watched the video of CJ Pony. That's one small detail Bill glossed over in his installation video.

 

I took the GT500 out for a rip.

 

That is a GREAT photo!
