    GNX style wheels

    I have a pair of Enkei GNX style wheels. I do not have center caps for them. I used them to run ET streets when I had my GN.

    GN Trade in Value

    I'm curious if anybody on here has ever had any luck trading in their GN. I need a new daily driver pickup and think I want to buy a new Dodge Dakota.

    Has anybody used Detroit Transmissions in Arvada for your TR? If so how are their prices and were you satisfied with the work. I think the next step I want to take with my car is freshening up the 90,000 mile stock transmission. Thanks

    Kenne Bell

    I have the Kenne Bell ram air setup on my car and need to know how to clean the air filter. It looks very similar to a K&N filter but I'm not sure it's made out of the same material. Can you just use soap and water or do I need to oil it after cleaning? Thanks for any help. Z
