1. No matter how many times you try shifting to 7th gear on the freeway it never works.

 

That's funny. I did that today (again).

 

Accidentally pulled e-brake to 4 clicks instead of 3. Car turned into a Pontiac Solstice. pls help.

 

ooh bummer.. coulda been worse, 2 clicks = pontiac aztek.

 

here's a couple

If your ride seems extra stiff check for the OEM spring spacers

If you hear excessive wind noise, try latching the top, then back drive the top motor for a brief second to pull down the lip of the soft top =D

 

 

If you drive an Ap1, more than likely you will burn oil, even more so if you are using Mobil 1. Please check your oil frequently. Some people (including myself) will burn up to a quart every thousand miles on certain brands of oil. Im not entirely sure about AP2s, but its always a good idea to keep an eye on your fluids regardless.

And no the car will not warn you when your oil is getting low, if you see the red oil light of death, its already too late.

A depressing secret; AP1 redlines are actually 8900 rpms.. SSSHHHHH

 

I learned the mobil 1 the hard way.....I always keep a case of generic 10-30, I think there had to be only a quart of mobil 1 left in the motor by the time it was due for a change....

Trying Valvoline VR1 now hoping for better results

 

yesss, i've noticed this as well, i drive an ap2 and i think i read somewhere the oem pressure plate doesn't handle the heavier flywheel very well or something? every once in awhile i will grind going 1st to 2nd, especially when i'm driving aggressive/heavily accelerating, it's so embarrassing lol

EDIT:
found the article about how ap2 pressure plates don't handle the heavier flywheel as well in fast shifts

On the other side, is it really a secret compartment if it is located inside a door with a prominent lock in the center? It's not that much of a stretch to look for anything inside the compartment.
