Both times has occurred on the highway, and I had to pull off very quickly as I could not maintain a high...

Re: How common are repainted cars?

I believe that my front bumper and hood were resprayed, as I believe the car was in a minor front end accident at some point. There is nothing on the car fax or any other report, but the bumper and hood clear coat aren't great and definitely different than the fenders and the rest of the car. Whoeve...

Re: Superchip cortex?

There is one for sale near me on a G8 forum, I don't know if it would work or not though. Since you already have one in your possession why don't you just plug it in and report back? (seriously, not just being a smart aleck - I would love to know.) With that being said, in my previous experience a h...

Re: Oil Pressure gauge?

Hey Mike this is a little late of a response and may not be totally helpful if you are only interested in installing a physical gauge to read oil pressure.

Re: Used Oil Analysis

Follow up sample, sent @ only 4k miles on the oil. I was anxious as I had noticed some oil consumption, but I know believe to be at a fairly "normal" rate for these engines.

Re: Rev limited

I don't know if either of you have tried this, but sometimes the wires between the door and the car are actually cut/exposed and can cause a handful of electrical issues. For me it manifested as a drivers door lock that wouldn't actuate electronically (had to manual lock/unlock with key). http://new...
