Thank you.

And well both really.
Passenger side was already compromised by previous owner.
So of course I had to molest the drivers side :)

Swapped in a new top and managed to lose tack of one of the push arms once and poked a whole in the foam liner.

Anybody know what the part numbers are or what it's actually called ?

Yeah it's the girlfriends daily.

I looked at the single DIN floating screens.
They're all way too big and will cut off buttons etc.

And what's even more annoying is that you simply cannot get a decent double DIN headunit with...

I just really need a sanity check from someone more knowledgeable than me before going full hulk on this on a gut feeling.

The plastic is definitely brown.
So from what...

Did plugs, coils, tubes, MAF, air filter and a bunch of other little stuff last oil change.

But am I overly pessimistic in my assessment ?
And if not is there anything else I've left out ?

Personally I would suspect a dying starter.
Either that or a bad electrical connection somewhere along the way.

But I'm sure there are people here that know better.

Best of luck to you man.

Oil change debris and startup rattle

Hey guys,

I have a sinking feeling that I ran into one of those landmines and figured I would ask for a sanity check.

Last oil change (81k miles) I found a few things.

First off I had...

Hard brakes

So I was reading up on posts on the forum and came across someone talking about brakes feeling rock hard indicating that was an issue.

From the day we bought our 2000 S the brakes have felt super...

@blue They load tested it at the parts store.
Battery passed at 860CCA.

My only concern is that voltage spikes from the failing voltage regulator could have fried something.

Reached the end of my diagnostics skills on this one.
The alarm randomly goes off for no discernible reason on my 2000 S.

Boat plug worked for me.
Just make sure that it's dry and get's all the way in before you start expanding it.

Light output is way lower than stock. At least on the smoked version.

With regard to heat I feel like I gotta make a semi snarky observation.

Yes LEDs get hot, but they do so significantly less so than halogens.

You will need either a metal plate behind your case or it'll rattle off the mount if you don't take it out of the case.
