Well, yes. I've dropped a very useful 10-20 degrees water temperature on the track. Now I have a bulletproof solution that won't break. Da bling, which as Carlos says is barely visible, was just a bonus. on 6/30/05 9:27 AM, Carlos.F.Lopez@jci.com wrote: > There's no bling factor IMO, they are barely visible if you have all the > shrouds and fans and such.

Has anyone weight a powered Vader seat? I seem to recall them weighing somewhere between 60-80 lbs, but can't find anything in archived messages (didn't feel like looking through all 300 results that came up). ;) Thanks, Jonathan L.

Not sure how accurate their scale is but it showed the car at 3060 with a near full tank of gas. That's not a lightweight, but it's 300 lbs less than in previous trim. With track wheels/tires and 1/2 tank of gas, I should be under 3000 lbs.

I just bought whatever the dealer was selling which turned out to be Bremi at the time. I think that as long as they are all the same it probably doesn't matter which Brand they are. -- Jamie Howton 2000 M5 1995 M3 Hampshire, IL
