    Buying a used SHO - what to look for?

    Hey guys I am looking at this car: I called the guy and he says there is a small exhaust leak in the muffler. I haven't gone to see the car yet. Asking 1400 btw. Anything specific I should be on the lookout for? I used to own a 91 SHO, but it died :(

    RPM's drop, loosing power - misfire?

    RPM's drop, loosing power - misfire?

    So I've finally found some keywords that let em search the forum for similar problems. Seems it might be the Coil pack or DIS module that are dead. What are these things and where under the hood are they?

    RPM's drop, loosing power - misfire?

    aftermarket head unit too loud

    Finally got it fixed. Yeah it was too loud. The volume goes from 0-35, but 10 was already unbearably loud. I got this attenuator box kinda like these ones: http://www.logjamelectronics.com/intfaceconv.html except it was $40. It quiets down the powered output so that the factory amp doesnt rail...

    aftermarket head unit too loud

    I just had a car stero shop (Car Toys) replace my aftermarket Pioneer DEH 230 with an Alpine CDA 9851. They asked me if I wanted to bypass the factory amp but I said no, since I didn't do that with my Pioneer either. The pioneer unit was a bit loud too, but this is way worse. The Alpine unit...

    AC recently fixed, now it drives weird :(

    Yeah ok, the repair shop had fixed all leaks and converted over to R134 (i think). I brought it in today ******** about the cycling, and the did some adjustments and it seems to be better now. Hopefully all leaks are gone now. This was damn expensive :(, they complained about how the fittings...
