Gang:

Answer me this one last question.

If I put after-market wheels, what becomes of the run-flat sensor system? Do I have to remove the blinking light behind the dash, and also disconnect the warning beeping sound (got that from FAQ)??

Basically, I do not want to mess with any electronics just to put on after-market rims. Let's fae it, those factory rims are horriable looking.

Did I say style?
Handling is amazing when propery set up
Affordable mods such as headers, intake,exhaust,etc....

Dislikes
Too much attention
No trunk space with top down
Throttle response could be better-get a TC
Run flats are the devils work-very hard and crummy ride
Doors are overly large-Old SC doors
rear seats-get rid of them and put storage in there

Car is a completely different experience vs the GS series. Drive one on an extended drive for best results.

Can you tell me more about those headers? I have been looking a while for some and can't find any options that are good. I would love affordable ones like you talk about. thanks

Default Headers

Here is the link
https://ssl10.mysecureserver.com/bos...namicIndex.asp

At this point noone that I know of has installed these on their N/A SC/GS430 and dyno'd before and after which I will do if it comes in first.

Comfortable, especially on long trips.
Engine and drive train very smooth
Audio system except satellite radio availability. See below

Dislikes

Run flat tires
Door map pockets. Should fold out like those on Acuras
No back up warning signal
Have to use add-on satellite radio.
Rear seats are a joke. Should have platform instead.
Seat belts. Should be seat mounted instead of door post mounted.
Navigation system. I much prefer the Garmin unit I use on my Toyota and bike.
