    Perfect, thanks FRM. dr

    Have to change my hood/trunk switch. Ordered the new one, just wondering if it just pops out of the inner plastic sill or if you have to remove the sill first. Thanks, dr

    Hey guys, just found this shot of the front sub-frame with the swaybar attached. Gives you a good idea about what is going on under there. dr

    Interesting Ken, I have the GMG bars and they told me to modify my front drop links by having them cut and welded. This would be the least expesnsive option I guess but not sure how you would determine the correct length to fit each of the adjustment holes on the bar ends. Sounds like we will need adjustable drop links. I like the RSS units but you cant go wrong with tarret either. dr

    Just changed the springs in the car as well, so new ride height etc.

    Ken, only did the rear bar and a string alignment. Didnt have time to get to the front bar. Wont be able to get to it for a few days, will check in when its finished or when I'm finished.

    Just measured them, 25.6 mm rear 29.9 mm front They are hollow, beautifully made by Eibach to GMG specs. Kit comes with lube, bushings, spacers, clamps. Dont forget that the actual bar size has less to do with stiffness than the alloy, wall thickness, design of the bar. Check their website for more info. dr

    I got one like this... http://www.amazon.com/OTC-6297-Ball-Joint-Separator/dp/B0015PN010 worked perfect, very loud bang when the bolt lets go. Also, make sure the top jaw is fully engaged over the bolt. I may try and do the job without removing the ball joints though. Seems like you should be able to get enough clearance with the wheel carriers sliding on the strut but i guess I will find out.

    I am installing the GMG WC anti roll bars tomorrow. The GMG bars are developed from their racing program and its what the guys with GT3's and GT2's put on their cars when they get rid of their stock bars. Anyway going to follow this DIY, hope it works out in time for my auto-x sunday. http://forums.rennlist.com/rennforums/showthread.php?t=574012&referrerid=10748

    This is flat out untrue. You have to drop but not remove the front subframe to gain clearance and then carefully remove the swaybar. No coolant hoses need to be detached or disturbed. Just takes a bit of care to prevent any damage.

    The compensating plates capture the soft spring mount and come in .5mm and 4mm thickness. I have seen black plates and white plates. Does anyone know which color goes with which thickness? Trying to figure out which ones are on my car.

    I agree, went with EasyCare for my 2006 Carrera S with 12k miles. They didnt even require an inspection because of the low miles and verified service history. So far have not had to use them. Went with the $100 deductable, seemed like the best value. Picked EasyCare because they cover airbag systems of which this car has 6, and they include wheel/tire damage. My dealer sold Fidelity but they dont cover airbags and I heard some bad stories about them. Its still not the same as the factory warranty but is worthwhile on a car this complex.

    Trying to find a DIY for front sway bar install. Looks like you have to drop the sub frame and may or may not have to DC the coolant lines. Any help is appreciated. Also, where can i find a pdf version of the workshop manual?

    Have a set of these strut mounts from GT3 that I would like to mount on my 2006 C2S. The opening on the spherical bearing is 18mm. So trying to figure out if my PASM strut will fit these before I disassemble the suspension. Thanks dr

    Is it possible to change the rear window seal from the outside without removing the window? Thanks, dr

    Only have the problem when the gearbox is cold. Try de-clutching and a complete stop until she warms up.

    They are crazy loud. Almost everyone that tries them ends up getting rid of them after a while. The main thing is the mind numbing resonance in the cabin. I used to wear ear plugs on my way to Sebring or Homestead and i still got a headache. But the car does sound awesome. Dont know about sound laws in PA.

    Just get this one in PA, its even grey. sport wheel

    I believe they are identical save for the nameplate badge. I bought a used one for $50 to "play" with. Have some ideas for modding it. dr

    does anyone know for sure at what RPM and or speed the flap is opened? from the sound of it i would say after 5000 rpm but wanted to find out for sure thanks, dr
  23. machina
    so would you be comfortable with a 2005 C2S if it carried the new CPO?
  24. machina
    I understand the IMS and or crank were uprated for 2006 models. Does anyone know the build date for this revision? The X51 package can only be applied to cars built after 08/05, so maybe that is the date, just want to be sure before purchase. Thanks, dr
