strange probs after being robbed

I have joined the many mx'ers who have had their car broken into. They broke in by creating a crack between my window and gasket and popping the lock with a jimmy or something. They stole my cd player and 2 kenwood subs and ripped apart the rest of the car, luckily the amp was bolted down and insura...

Re: VRIS

Yeah i tried revving while looking at the actuators. That's why i ended up trying the paper method. Fortunatly i'll be going home and checking in with my mechanic in a couple days hopefully it's nothing too bad. Has anybody ever replaced the actuators??

Re: VRIS

Decided to try and check my VRIS just for the hell of it. I used the paper method. To my utter disbelief neither one of them are working. I haven't noticed anything different in power lately. I took it all the way to 7000RPM driving it around town. Should I check any ecu codes before replacing them?...

Re: Has anyone used Splitfire plugs before?

Splitfire plugs suck. Every mechanic i know has told me this. Watch out for the bosch 4+, autozone sold me some that had the wrong specs TWICE.

Re: Pacesetter Exhaust System...for MX-3

I love the sound. I reemed out the cat on mine to give it a little louder sound. Some question the reliability of them but i've had no problems for the past 1 yr i've had it. It definitly doesn't give the mx a hyper-go-kart sound. thank god. :D

Re: Tokico Struts

What shocks do you think would go best with the Intrax springs? Intrax drops 1.75". I was thinking about going with tokico but is there something better??

vinyl graphics

Has anyone seen any vinyl graphics from Modern Image. Some look pretty good. Not sure how easy to put on or how good the quality. Getting my car painted soon and this looked like a good way to style up the car a bit without paying for a custom paint job. Any opinions? :D

Re: annoying seatbelt sensor

I researched this before because like all auto seatbelts that damn beeping is annoying. I found a diagram of the wiring and how to shut it off permanently. It's somewhere in between the seats i think. The diagram was on MX-3.com I think or one of the other big sites. Hopefully this helps :cool:
