  1. I believe you are right on the durametric readings, but was concerned with:

    - Adaptation value, area 2, cylinders 1 - 3 (FRA)

    - Adaptation value, area 2, cylinders 4 - 6 (FRA2)

    - Adaptation value, area I, cylinders 1 - 3 (TRA)

    - Adaptation value, area I, cylinders 4 - 6 (TRA2)

    What do they represent?

    I am concerned about the ones that could give me a indication of AFR and would think that the O2 reading voltage would be one of them in the calculation.

  2. When I was pricing the Nacs 300 and 400 series the sound was good and the reviews where so so ....and also missed to many features like in and outs for ext amp etc. The 700 series sounded absolutely wonderful but could not hook-up ipod etc, but the deal breaker was that they where considering dropping there car line of stereos so not knowing that I decided on a double din instead. It truly is a shame because the 700 model was pure heaven to listen to.

  3. According to Mobil 1, they only sell it to Walmart. I'm on hold on my 11th Walmart (9 more to call in the Bay Area), and so far none of them have it + its not avail. online. Another older post from Mobil 1 forums says they dont sell it to anyone but dealers. I bought Castrol 5w-50 today but came home and read that is a 200ºc flash point vs. Mobil 1's 228ºc

    Castrol- Flash Point 200ºc Viscosity Index (179)

    Mobil 1- Flash Point 228ºc Viscosity Index (184)

    Now the question is - is Castrol going to be ok, what's the next best alternative. Ppl keep recommending 15w-50, although that a completely different oil if I understand correctly. Oil book at Kragen recommended 5w-50 & 0w-40.

    Options?:

    1. Use the Castrol 5w-50

    2. go with the Mobil 1 0w-40

    3. Give up and take it to the dealer for the oil changes (BUT I want to do them myself so badly) :wrench:

    In the southwest, I run 15/50 mobile 1 and can be had by the 5 quart container at walmart.
  4. I run verdsteins and 295/30 rears with 235/35 front 305 fit and have heard 325 fit also but cannot attest to that.

    WoW those look great! is your car lowered at all? how wide are your rear rims?

    Thanks and No car is not lowered but the 19's fill in the wheel arch gap better without suspension changes. The rears could come down 1' more and the front 2" in my opinion. They are 67" rear offset and 50 something in the front. As you can tell by the original bridgestone's vs the verd tires that the verds have a larger sidewall and are not stiff which gives a nice ride.
