I believe that it is louder than it should be....until a confirmed source tells me otherwise I will look into getting it fixed.

Here is what was on the plug.
You have your old diff at my crib holmes. If you want - we can swap out the bearings.. Or get some new ones? Thing is - its REALLY hard to tell if the sound is coming from the front of the diff or the sides..but thats what troubleshooting is for..

Ok my radio reception just went out. Radio and antenna amp connects all look good. My guess is the antenna amp went out!

Anybody have one handy I can do a swap with to trouble shoot? or any idea of something else to check.

Its an Alpine HU and has worked fine up until today. I do get reception just real bad and limited stations

Scott....thats weird because I have had trouble with my radio reception also....it works fine when the car has been sitting for a while....but after about 20 -30 mins ( And especially if its hot out ) it fades away really quick within a minute or two its gone ! But my CD & Tape work great. I just thought it was the heat sync or something...but it must be something else. I have checked the rear antenna several times....But I have not checked the antenna mount at the head unit.

BC does offer a true coilover. I never really read about guys running them though. Seems like everybody runs the OEM setup. From what I can tell, most people buying the BCs are just daily driving on them.

Well I think I'm gonna take mu z to the shop tomorrow. I've had a really annoying clicking/rattling sound that comes from both my front and rear suspension when I hit sharp bumps for quite a while now and now it has also developed an annoying and somewhat concerning rattling sound sometimes when at idle but mostly when accelerating under load at low rpms. It did it tonight for the first time while sitting at idle and stopped when I engaged the clutch to take off at a redlight and it also did it while I was turning into the parking garage at work. Car was in neutral and stopped as soon as I straightened out the wheel. I'm hoping that maybe the exhaust is just tapping against something somewhere but I don't have the time right now to really get into it and check everything. It just makes me really nervous that for some reason it could be something in the transmission rattling. I doubt it but since I have a rebuilt trans and can't afford to do it again right now, it just worries me.

Mine also plays the ipod fine. dosen't matter when or what temp I only get two stations at my house.

There is an antenna amplifier mounted back by the antenna mount, I am guessing this is bad.

The BR type is a great daily driven coil, decent to get a start auto-xing or time attacking on, but def very good for daily driving.

Jake, I have something for you buddy, going to post it soon.
