    can we see a picture of it?

    Here is the link. I found it a few months ago: http://p-car.com/diy/steeringradio/ It looks pretty tough to do, though. I was thinking that there might be a company that would sell a couple of stick-on buttons that might be able to be placed on our steering wheel. Maybe these could be put on the fingertip side of the spoke, because they will probably be too ugly for the thumb side. They could be wired to a wireless remote that could work the (aftermarket) stereo. Anyone have any ideas here?

    I would also suggest previewing your post before posting it. Larger photos could be hosted on a website, such as www.tinypic.com. Just a couple of ideas.

    Is your car a tiptronic? I've been thinking of trying to get a tiptronic steering wheel for my car and wiring the buttons up to the stereo to use them for the volume.

    The motor that moves the C4S spoiler up and down looks to be an electric one. The motor that moves the Turbo spoiler looks like it is hydraulic. I don't think you could use the C4S motor if you wanted to. I bought the decklid off of someone who puts on other aftermarket decklids. It was complete and the hydraulic motor was already in it. You just connect the wire to the plug that the C4S decklid was plugged into.

    I think you are talking about the moving spoiler...and YES it is. I wouldn't sacrifice that for anything.

    Here is some more information on this: I moved the smog pump by using the bracket that comes with an EVO air intake kit. I was able to secure one of these from the local shop: "Imagine Auto". It was the last one they had. It looks like this: (the factory bracket is on the left) This moved the air/smog pump out of the way like this: Then I cut a section out of the airbox and used Bondo to seal it up. (I am not very good with Bondo.) Then, when I wasn't real happy with my bondo job, I bought an EVO induction kit and put it in there: (The problem with this is that I don't like the way the EVO sounds, so I'll probably change back to the bad bondo airbox.

    Here is how I would do it: Read this forum for details on the install of the mufflers, but when you shove the muffler up in there, have the silver vaccuum hose already on it and put it through the hole into the engine compartment. Then later, all you'll have to do is the electronics install...which is actually a pretty big job, but you won't have trouble hooking up that bit of vaccuum hose to the muffler.

    my understanding is that the dealer would have to be able to "prove" (to some extent) that your work caused the problem that they are refusing to cover. It would probably also depend upon how much they value your business, because they should realize that if they make a false claim, then you probably won't go back there.

    You could even buy someone's exhaust that they've had removed to have a shop work on it and then just put it on yourself. For example, I (and probably many others) have removed my stock exhaust from my 2004 C4S, so I could put on the Sport Exhaust. The two mufflers are sitting in my attic looking for something to do right now. They are pretty lonely up there. Just a thought.

    It was a tough job, but I made it work. For starters, the decklid fits on the car, but it won't close due to the "pistons" that push up the spoiler at 75 mph. See other details here: Discussion about making airbox work It required the following modifications: 1) Move the air pump (aka smog pump) 2) Cut out part of and re-seal the airbox 3) Cut a new hole for air intake in the underplate of the turbo decklid 4) Seal the turbo air intake hole in the underplate of the turbo decklid 5) $50 for the new "badge" Yes, I realize that I now have two center brakelights and it does look a little funny, but only the spoiler one lights up when I push the brake pedal.

    Is there any place that this type of light can be purchased in the U.S.A. With the weak dollar, this thing costs $102 + shipping (from europe, I presume).
  13. navin in KC
    I found it. It was actually well below the wiring that goes to the spoiler. It was directly to the right side of the airbox and it is just a little spot that the wire plugs in to hold it. Thank you Sandy.
  14. navin in KC
    I found this lying there, I'm not sure if it was plugged into something. I can't find anything near it to plug it into. I'm hoping it is supposed to be just lying there. Thanks for any help.

    Can we see a picture of it sitting in daylight to get a better idea of what it looks like?

    I got it for $2050, and will probably end up spending at least another $300 making it work. I think it was best for me because it was already the right color and I like the fact that the wing/spoiler goes up and down. navin

    I wasn't trying to dis the pump, just trying to get it out of the way. I was able to get it moved. I got a mount from the evolution motorsports intake that moves the pump out of the way. thanks for the help.
  19. navin in KC
    Yes and no. I got it on the car and it fits on the car just fine. When you close it the two struts that are the hydraulic device that push up the wing (at 75 mph) hit the airbox on the right side and the smog pump on the left side. Moving the smog pump is easy. I found a bracket that goes with the EVO intake that moves the smog pump. I couldn't figure out if a GT3 or turbo have a smog pump, but that bracket might work also. Getting the airbox out of the way is tough. I think that I am going to buy an extra airbox and cut the corner off of it in such a way that I can still seal it up. Then there are three other problems: -The fan seems like it is going to rub on the intake rubber tube. -I will need to cover the hole that was the Turbo intake hole. -I will need to make a new hole for the C4S intake.

    Do you have the ability and could you post a photo of yours installed?
  21. navin in KC
    I am a C4S owner and I am looking to move what I believe is called the "smog pump" or maybe it is an "air pump". Here is a picture of it: I am hoping a GT3 has the pump mounted further to the left of the car, in behind the left taillight. If it is mounted there, I could get the GT3 bracket and use it to reposition mine.
  22. navin in KC
    Here is another GT3 Photo: Here is my car: It looks like there might be two problems: one is the oil filler tube. The other is the fact that the fuel injector looks canted to the right on my car and it looks like it is headed straight back in the GT3. Anyone have any comments?
  23. navin in KC
    Will this GT3 Airbox fit (and work) in my C4S? The reason that I am doing this is NOT to try to improve performance. It is to get a Turbo Deck lid and spoiler to fit on my C4S. It looks like a very similar airbox to the TT, but obviously puts the air into the engine differently.
  24. navin in KC
    I am here to reassure you. You don't need to hear it. If you're afraid of it being too loud, then you just press the dash button to make it quiet.
  25. navin in KC
    what is an "adjustable voltage activated switch" and where could I find one?
