I have access from a local airport to 100 octane low lead fuel. I'm worried that it may clog the system and through off the computer or tune. Any experience with it, or thoughts ..read more

Mid Atlantic Car Fest is a Road course, drag race, then two autocross events. Over 4 days and driving in between. I started off with my pontiac G8, which broke after the road course. Then I pressed the solstice into service and despite it not being totally ready, absolutely shined at the autocross holding it down against the mighty ND miata. My only complaint was the cupholder kept coming out during the autox runs ..read more

So I went on copart, found a running and driving body damaged salvaged solstice in Oregon. Paid $1000 for the car, $1500 for shipping it back to the east coast.

Autocrossed my 2009 GXP coupe for the first time last weekend. On one particular hard right then left corner set, every lap I got a ding ding ding chime.

On the way home the message reset and all is good again.
Anybody have this happen, and what might cause it ..read more

First off - apologies, as the answers I seek are probably all in here somewhere. I'm bad at searching forums, and really backlogged at work, so I'm gonna be that guy and just ask. Especially since our next Sebring track day is this upcoming Sunday, and it's gonna be HOT!
My last track day at Sebring brought the coolant temps up well into the 230's, and I did ping the temp light once (apparently that cuts some power, which sucked as I was in the middle of a fast left hander). My thoughts...

There are probably at least two people out there who still know what this is and might want one. I found this the other night on eBay. Kinda like the GMPP brake reservoirs is terms of rarity.
