Perfect day, nice ride down from the North Shore in MA. Deb & I got a bit too much driving in all that Sun! It was nice seeing everyone again. Thanks again Gundo and Rene for hosting. We stopped at Mohegan Sun on out way back and actually left with more than we arrived with! Thanks Maurice for the advice on my door handle problem. I also learned about using my Griots orbital buffer watchingby ericp - Main Forum

I thought about that and also thought maybe I drove through some oil before that and it was at that spot the conditions were such that I slipped.by ericp - Main Forum
There's a guy in Danvers that does this stuff, my friend had him put a nice system in his Jeep and he loved it. I am interested in the same type of setup you are, I'll stop by and talk to him to see what he thinks. I also have an '01. -Ericby ericp - Main Forum
Interesting stuff guys, thanks for all the replies and conversation. I am convinced it was the road and not my driving. and no Grant I wasn't changing garments , I honestly was assessing the damage. My girlfriend was pleased at my calmness and the fact that I was able to maintain control and keep us in the road. She even commented most people wouldn't have reacted as quickly as I did. While thisby ericp - Main Forum
I have used Kumho tires since about 2006 and have been quite happy with them. Friday I replaced the front tires with Kumho Ecsta 4X tires, rear still have the Kumho Ecsta ASX tires I put on last year. I had been using the ASX tires before, but tire rack had better reviews for the 4X tires. Seems like I get 2 years out of a pair. Anyway I drove about 400 miles over the weekend, everything feels grby ericp - Main Forum
I replaced my stock dash speakers Friday night. I decided to go with the Polk DB401 speakers. I did a little research on landed on these, the specs for wattage and such are perfect for the stock amp. I actually have the 6 speaker version of the amp. After reading the 2 linked posts above I also decided to use the speaker blanks which I found for $22 each at Pelican. I used a drexel to cut out theby ericp - Main Forum
I have an '01 base with the CDR220 system in it. I need to replace my front speakers. I did a quick search but didn't find anything here. Anyone have a recommendation for the front (dash) speakers? Thanks, Ericby ericp - Main Forum
So while my car was in the shop today getting the motor mount replaced the techs advised me that there is some oil around (some) of the spark plug tubes and they recommend replacing them. My question is do you guys replaced them when replacing plugs, or just the o-rings? I am going to be replacing the plugs soon and so I should do this at that time. I hate being told to buy things I don't neccessby ericp - Main Forum
I was able to get my car into a shop today and had the motor mount repleaced. It was definitely bad, the rubber was completely separated and I was able to press out the metal part in the middel with my thumb, oy! Anyway happy it's done, annoyed they rip you off on jobs like that. Also had the serpentine belt done, there were a few chinks missing out of it. THAT is a rop-off, that is not a 2.25 hby ericp - Main Forum
Is that the air bag control ring from the video? Looks like part number 996.652.211.00. Thanks! Ericby ericp - Main Forum
'01 Base. I have this weird symptom with the horn. For the most part it won't work with the key in the ignition, but will work once the key is removed. Also doesn't matter what position the key is in when inserted, and whether car is running or not, it just doesn't work with the key in. Any thoughts? Thanks, Ericby ericp - Main Forum

Hi guys, About 2 weeks ago I was driving and I heard a sound like someone threw a rock at the side of my car ('01 Base 130k miles). I couldn't see anything but since then I have started to hear a thunking sound. It happens if I get on it from a stop but then press the clutch in quickly while at high RPMs and shift. The thunk happens as soon as the clutch is fully disengaged. It also happby ericp - Main Forum
