are you using the factory head unit? If so, does it have a sub out or how is the amp connected to it? I guess I'm trying to understand this signal thing you talked about after the car is turned off. Why then don't the other amps pick up that same signal? I think you have a connectivity issue.

The front bumper is an L-tuned, but that design is discontinued. Carson Design now makes it though. The side skirts are Veilside, and the rims are either Mackin T7, J-Force 07, or Einki RPO 7,( which I beleive is also discontinued . The grill is also the mesh screen by L-Tuned. The fog lights are L-Tuned racing II, and the headlights are Toyota/Japan after markets. (These are still available.)

You'll have to be more precise as to your problem here. When does the DVD player affect the dash lights? why do you think the dvd player is the reason the clock/temp and left air knob lights go out? if it happens when it rains and also at random times? You may just have a loose wire, or a short in there. Is the DVD player wired to the same circiut as the dash that is affected?

Many moons ago, I worked at Sound Advice. they do "custom installs" and can and will do the install of any unit. Circuit City, and Best Buy only do "factory fit Mod installs."

I was wondering if any one has seen the advertisement for this 5 star wax stuff. Is it any good? Does any one have any info on it other than the claims of the manufacturer? What is it exactly? If it's so good why haven't I heard of it before? Is it really good or not? etc. etc. etc.

They, being service techs have a window tack tool. I looks kinda like a slim jim, but for holding the track open and allowing the window to set properly. Once you get the motor out, and the track disconnected from the motor, you can move it up higher and get your hands on it better. When the window "pops" into place, you'll know it, and then you can tighten the track back down on it.

You might try Ebay for the window motor. And if your going to replace the motor, then I would wait to fix the window track till then. You'll have to take it all apart again anyhow. And it will make it easier to fix the track then too.

Sounds like you may have an ignition sending short. Without the car in front of me there is no way to diagnose the issue. You'll have to trace the electrical to find out where the signal is originating from.But if I had to guess, because you said if you leave the key in it stops, you may have a worn ignition cylinder. the car has a security feature that shuts off the ignition if you try to start it without the correct key. You may have a short in it. If this is your issue I have bad news......dealer part only.

AWSOME!!!!!! ( I actually have a 1996 Ducati 916 in the garage!)

yeah, but when you order the discs and they come in, just give them to him and when he gives them back then schedule you day to do the work. ( And actually, cleaning, primer, powder, and bake doesn't take much time at all. Once they cool, they are ready.)

Yeah, I started around 9:30 am and finished everything the same day. If you get the ceramic brush on brake caliper paint, you recoat every 20 minutes until your happy. So I put the whole car on jack stands, took off all 4 tires,removed the calipers and disconnected the brake lines, using a small screw to temporarily plug the brake line, then removed the pads,cleaned the calipers off with a brush and brake caliper cleaner, making sure I got as much old brake dust off as possible, and painted the first coat, then went to the next caliper and did the same, then the next, and so on. After I removed all the brake pads and put on the first coat, I just recoated all the way around in the same direction. Figure about ten minutes to paint each coat, so the timing worked great 4 times around the car. Then I let it dry for an hour. Maybe 2. I think I had lunch then.Then I took all the discs off, and installed the steel braided brake lines.( Oh, the day before or when ever before you get to the day your gonna do this, if your replacing the discs also, I painted the center hubs of them with a few coats of high temp paint also. So the day your ready to put them on, you can without having to paint them also. If you want to go all the way, you can have them powder coated, which is what I'm going to do later. ) then put the new discs on, then installed the new brake pads, and reassembled the brake calipers on the discs. You can handle the calipers at this point, but try to keep it to a minimum. If you get any finger prints in the paint, don't panick, you can brush a new coat on them very easily when your done and it will still look great. Then I bled out the air in the lines and relocked them down. Once I finished that, I clean off the calipers with a towel and glass cleaner, and put the decals on. Then I used a small piece of cardboard to hold over the tire well and the disc itself, and gave it a light coat of clear. ( If you go to heavy right away, the edges of the decals will raise and you won't like that look. So go easy at first. Then move on to the next caliper and let that set up. Once youv'e gone around the car, now you can give it a medium coat. I went around the car three times with a medium coat of the high temp clear. Now just let that set up for an hour or so. Put your tires back on, again, really try not to touch the calipers. Let the car down, it'll sit over night, and then your set. Iv'e had no problems at all with them. In fact, the calipers clean up real nice now and very easy. Hope this helps you out. Good luck, and you have to post pics of before and after so I can see. And btw, the whole reason for this thread is to help others out, exchange ideas, learn new stuff etc, etc. No problem. I'm glad you like my ride. B)

Go here: http://www.jvdgraphics.com/infosentpage.php Click on brake caliper stickers. then just follow the instructions, tell him the color you want and your car model. Pay the man, and in about 7-10 days, an envelope shows up with 2 sets of decals for the front and rear. ( The rear set is cool, it's the same as the emblem on the trunk.) B)

" I don't feel tardy."

Of course then I would alos go with chrome rims to set off the calipers.
