    Autolock problem!

    I'd like to disable my autolock, however, I have a problem- my car is a MTX! I shouldn't even have it, and I think it's a function of the factory alarm that is installed on the car. How the heck can I disable it? I need to keep the alarm on it, or at least the module, becasue that is where my...

    Has anyone added an aftermarket CD changer...

    Right now I've got a portable CD player stuffed into my storage compartment under the deck. fits great, and it looks good, too. I'm running through a cassette tape interface right now, seems to work good. I'm going to wait and find a late model radio/CD head unit and just replace it later on...

    Everyone should see this....

    So is there any way to "vent" our plug wires? Or shouldn't I worry about it. How can I seal them better, seeing as I'm putting on a new set this weekend? Thanx

    Slap me later...

    Hey guys, I just found (with shobikes' help) the right post for me. Once again, from Scott. Castrol GTX High Mileage, and an FL1A or Supertech equivalent coming tonight. I believe it was decided in an earlier post. I will also submit oil for sampling at work. My current consumption isn't...

    Slap me later...

    I did, but a lot of the info is just flames of Pennzoil and QS. I got the info about using the FL1A's, I'm just looking for specific information on the additive oils and whether I can put full synthetic oil into my engine at 106,000 or if I'd even be OK with semi-synthetic... I'll look some...

    Slap me later...

    ...but I have to ask. I've got 107,000 on my SHO, and the previous owner changed the oil religiously at 3,000 at the quick **** with Quaker State. I'm more of a Valvoline fan from my Mustangs, and are looking for a better oil for the SHO. Questions are: 1. Can I put full synthetic into it...

    Subframe bushings or tie rod ends?

    OK, got some more info. Driving the car, it really doesn't matter what side of the car I hit a bump with, the driver's side is the one that clunks. It is a little quieter when I hit something with the passenger front tire, and very pronounced if I hit it with the driver's side tire. There is...

    Steering Squeek

    I'm a little confused here- my car is also squeaking when I turn the wheel, do I just slather grease up on top of the strut through the wheel well, or where? It sounds odd that anything up there is moving when I turn the wheel. Can you grease the rack/tie rod ends on these cars? I have to put...

    Stupid question (really)

    Where can I jack up my SHO with one jack and have the whole front or back off the ground at one time? I wouldn't want to put the jack on something that looked safe to lift off of, and hear the groaning, bending noise that was the sound of me spending hundreds of dollars to straighten something...

    Subframe bushings or tie rod ends?

    :) No big deal, it was about that time when I sent it in the first place! Anyway, I'm printing the posts out, and I'm going for some personal time with my car, to figure some stuff out. The car has 106,000 miles on it, and is generally very solid except for this noise. So, I'd like to get...

    Has anyone added an aftermarket CD changer...

    ...to their factory tape only JBL head unit? I'd like CD again, and I only have tape right now, with the JBL system. I can't believe they didn't just include the CD player with the JBL system. :rolleyes: Anyway, can I add an aftermarket CD changer to my factory head unit? I really like...

    Subframe bushings or tie rod ends?

    Hey guys. I've started getting a good clunk from the front of the car while going over bumps. (Like a manhole cover an inch or so below the ground) Happens when going straight and while turning. I've not had a SHO that clunked before, so I need some direction. I looked through some old...
