Critter,

If you have a palm-a-granite you might want to use EXTRA lotion...
Or go see a doctor, cause that just ain't right!


Would that be Jerkin's Lotion?

If you start a new thread with this it'll be easier to find down the road. I've been contemplating doing something like this as well. Don't know whether I want to go with a hybrid set up like you appear to be doing or if I want to go all LED.

If you only do brake lights, then there are no flashing issues to deal with. I had considered getting a 4" hole saw and boring a big enough hole so I could insert something like this and jettison the bulb..



Looks like it might fit in the rear bumper pods where the reverse lights and the reflectors reside.

Today switched the typhoon custom intake with the stock factory intake. During the procedure i broke the the plastic hose, you can see in the pic below. I glued it back but don't know how if it's ok. What do i do in this case? Can i buy a stock new one? I see that it is part of the stock plastic tube that connects to the turbo. Did it again, oopsie daisies....

Many have done this.  You *can* buy the new part, but it's expensive.  Some have glued it in, some using a short piece of brass pipe to reinforce... http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f59/justa-fyi-60248/

Others (Goat) just got a brass barbed plumbing fitting, drilled out the old and inserted that instead... http://www.solsticeforum.com/forum/f43/question-broken-fitting-past-maf-64649/#post980200

I finished installing my N2MB WOT Box. Have not tested the no lift shift part of it but the launch control portion works like a charm. Just a little popping sound then launching off of boost. :drive:

:yay: Sorry for not being able to tell you exactly which wires you need to hook because I did mine like 1 year ago and I didn't do it myself, I was just giving instructions to the electrician.

Well baby is at the dealer getting the rails fixed in the body shop. They got me at least 3 times. I guess they all don't know how to put the car up on the lift.

Kagem - I don't know if this was discussed in those links but Dejon makes a metal replacement pipe that is cheaper than the stock plastic pipe.

Hey, that's rad!  Had you looked into just turning the ECU for these functions or does this module add more functionality?

I'd love no-lift-shift and was hoping someday to getting around to seeing if the 2.4 ecu could support this with a tune.

Just try to accept the fact that it will be back together soon and be better than ever.
Total Bummer though.  Sorry you can't use your pride and joy

Switched it's insurance over from Virgina to Korea.  Had to double my coverage to meet the Korean minimums.  Raised my premium $50 a month.  It's supposed to get dropped off at the VPC tomorrow (Friday), but I won't be ale to do anything with it until Monday/Tuesday since the papework takes a few days to process.
