Thats a good tip too , the a-hole mechanic at the dealership pulled up on my air intake scoop and the moldings almost broke off. He was checking to see if it latched. I like your method a LOT better!!!
Atleast we dont have to worry about the hood flying up while we are driving and taking...
Thanks everyone ... I actually DID learn something.
I was pushing BELOW the air intake duct ... about a foot width on either side. Now I know to push above it.
Also, I think I hurry and dont go to BOTH sides up by the window to check for clearance.
I will try the hand latch trick too ... I...
Seems like if I close the hood by myself I have to spend 10 minutes adjusting it after it latches to get the gaps where I like them (by doors, by headlights, and by front tires).
When someone helps me it seems to go a lot smoother.
Was wondering if you guys had any tips on where to push...
WOW thats a lot of extra coin!!!
Considering there is only 144 (108 without stripes) Red 2001 GTS's .... 360 red/white with a plaque doesnt seem that rare.
Neat though, I love it when the cars are numbered like that!!! ---
Definately wasnt caused by the tune ;) ... I was thinking you would be pushing a ton of horsepower to do that to your transmission , wouldnt the rearend usually go first?
Do you have super sticky tires?
Maybe its the clutch, are you on the stock clutch? ------
I was told that the gears take up a little more power to run when they are a higher ratio?
I was also told that if you run 18" wheels ... then run 20" wheels ... if the total diameter with the tire is more , you lose horsepower and torque because they are harder to spin?
Maybe I am just...
You have Lloyd mats ... I have a set of them in my car.
I prefer them over the "big head" mats above, but those are nice too!!!
Did you use the "touch up paint" brush-on, or just spray paint? ---
What did you use to paint the sills? I have a custom set in one of my other vehicles and was worried about just using "touch up paint" ... and thought it seemed like a pain in the butt to tape everything off good enough. ---
Thanks guys.
I would rather run a tad rich and be safe ... I'm not going for all out HP ... but between the richness, the 3.73, and the 20" wheels I would be putting down a few more horses :) ---

I just got this car 3 weeks ago ... and decided I should get a Dyno Pull going so I can make sure its running well with the few modifications that I have found on it. I...
The water entering the engine bay would be the only reason I wouldnt mess with cutting a hole in the hood.
I will check out that writeup above to see if they had a solution to this :)
Where does the stock drain hole let the water go?
I bet it freaks a lot of people out cutting into...
