As for the resonator I think I will be leaving it in cause I cant stand that ricer sound. Too nice of of car to have it sounding like some POS kids toy.
I had to order a new front lower engine mount today, old ons pretty sloppy. And I also need to replace the oil pressure sending unit. My wife came to pick me up from work tonight & it was diveing back & forth from about 45 to 0 than back again. Checked the oil just incase & everythings fine there so I would assume the sender has gone bad. Damn eletric gages, never have trusted them. Can anyone point me in the right direction of the location of the sender? Ive not had much chance to look yet.
Im planning to gut out the air box tommrow as well & see what happens. Man this car has me wonting to do all kinds of things.
Wich that reminds me dose anyone make a spring set for these cars. I wouldent mind dropping it about 1 to 1 1/2 inches & going to a slightlety lower profile tire. Thinking about a 235/45-17 or mabey a 40 series max. I dont wont it to look slamed but just set it off a bit from stock.

Well I gutted out the air box today, the SC is much more noticeable now .When you hit the gas it has a very distinct sound. It also seames to respond a bit better, but wont know for sure until I go for a ride.
Ya the springs arnt a big thing just more of a thought. Ive lowered more than enough of my fair share of cars though so mabey its just time to ride high for once
Most of the cars Ive done by cutting a couple coils & never had any problems, but Im not about to do it with this car. It will get driven by my wife more than me anyhow & she dosent have the knack for driving a lowered car. Every hole, bump, & small animal seam to find there way to her when riding low.
