Yeah, I'd like to make it look original. I figured it would add up in a hurry. Maybe I'll pass and keep looking. Thanks for the info though.

Looking to pick up a TTA and came across one with 30K that was stolen and the interior was yanked. Dash and steering still in tact, but everything else was taken. Carpet, seats, console headliner, door panels, sail panels, etc. The question is, how hard would it be to find all of these, and...

Thanks guys, I got it.

I need to take my crossover pipe off, but I can't figure out how to get to either of the flange bolts on the passenger side. What's the correct combo of tools?

That's what I was afraid of, now that I have the car torn apart. Thanks for the advice though, John.

I'm attempting to replace my idler arm and center link, but I can't get the old ones to come off. All the nuts are off, but I can't get the studs to pull through the bushings. I've tried prying with a screwdriver, but no go. What's the proper technique for this? Is there some tool to use...

Just a little update in case you don't visit the For Sale section: John has started making his headlight covers again.

Re: HL coverz LOL! There's probably alot of truth to that. Maybe I'll check at the parts store today and see how much there's are. So, am I correct in assuming that I want the GTS over the Lunds? SITHV6, want to sell me yours since you're going clear anyway? If not, thanks for...

I already checked with John(Red Regal T). He decided to stop making them. Thanks anyway. Thanks for the site, LosOjos. I'm not sure I want to spend $60 for a pair though. Anyone made there own that can be mounted with velcro?

lalonde441, I don't want anything that I have to screw onto the car. I want the smoke look, so I need to be able to take them off at night. LosOjos, do you have the Lunds? If so, do you like the fit? Any idea who sells them?

Anyone know of any vendors selling quality headlight covers. I heard the ones Kirban's used to have were nice, but they no longer sell them. I also checked with John DiCarlo, but he doesn't make them any longer. Anyone have some suggestions?

There's no reason I can think of that would cause the powerplate to cause knock. The reason I send to dump some race gas in is to tell if you have knock from running too much boost for the octane you have, or if it is false knock. If you up the octane and the knock doesn't go away, it's false...

My car did that when I first bought it. I had a pin hole leak in one of the vac tubes going to the wastegate solenoid. Some guys can get away with running 20lbs. with a Thrasher without knock, but I can't. Unless you have a scantool or knock guage, keep your foot out of it until you get your...

How much boost are you running? Pit Bull chips are notorious for bad knock. Hopefully your new chip will resolve the problem. I would dump some xylene or race gas in and see if the knock goes away.

1. I've got a bad tip in stumble. It's not the chip as I've tried several, no pre-turbo exhaust leak, TPS and IAC set correctly. What are some other possible causes? 2. What does black smoke out the tail pipes on accel. mean? O2s are right around 800.
