Long absent, time flies.....

[89AKurt]

Been forever since I logged in. Almost 5 years, 45,819 miles so far. Keep getting the extended warrantee calls. Running great, with a few annoying things to whine about:
1. The hanging cigar box third brake light, the prop rod has worked. Is there a kit to convert the center of the taillight into a working lights, so the window unit can be ditched?
2. The digital control panel, started to have an annoying *beep beep beep* when turning right on a rough road. Sometimes it's so bad, that I have to stop, shut off the car, then restart, essentially reboot it. Stealer quote $1,300, and just a couple months after the electrical warrantee expired. Otherwise most of the time it's fine.
3. The underside aluminum "skid plate", ever since I backed up over snow, it's prone to getting bent. Is there a carbon-fiber plate now?
4. Dumbest thing I did was have cloth seats.
5. Time change, I live in Arizona, so the car is the only clock I have to change. Always think of Vic when I do.

Maybe I should revise my signature. Have this '68 now. When I want to shift, I drive this 4 on-the-floor.

Accidentally got logged into the Gen11 forum. So this forum is dead now?

I managed to find my way to what I needed.... ?
Looking for what alternative to OEM shocks are, Bilstein is out of the question, but KYB is.

Sooo, BOTH are out of the question? ?

BaddannLV makes aftermarket skid plates for our cars, it has 2 flaps for the drain plug and oil filter so you don't need to remove the thing on oil changes. I don't own one but it appears to be sturdier than stock

Thank you for posting this!

I have returned! Don't know where else to post that I have splurged on a chip, and a K&N air filter. Can't tell much difference, so far, maybe because I'm paying attention, it seems a little quicker.

Welcome back… again. This point, not sure of what you’re willing to spend, might as well throw a tune on it, and really get some power.

Have you considered un-chipping your car?

I'd look into a KTuner from Phearable with their free 1.5 tune.
