Hey guys,
I recently introduced myself on this forum having just purchased a 1999 Hardtop. Here are a few questions I'm hoping some of you may be able to help me with:
1) My front tire treads are scalloped a bit making for a noisy ride. They're the stock tires (Goodyear EMT's). Has anybody else here had this problem with the goodyear tires? What tire do you reccomend?
2) My tire pressure monitors read about 3 pounds lower than most gauges show. Anyone else notice this? I can live with it, just some mornings it's cold enough to set the "tire pressure too low" light on.
3) Have any of you had buzzing/sound quality issues with the door panels? I have a pretty weird sounding driver door speaker.... I'm aware of the upgrades for the door panels - have any of you tried them out? (That and how do you get the door panel off? Extra points for those that can help there.)
4) This car has 40k miles on it. She performs well, I just changed the spark plugs and they all looked good. Everything seems to work well (with exception to a few odd noises here and there). The question is: Do I have a whole lot to worry about with this car in general? For example can you blow the rings or head gaskets easily? I'm just a worry wort I guess.
God do I love this car though. You couldn't put enough squeaks and rattles or buzzing speakers in it to change that. I know this is a long thread, and I appreciate any help you guys can offer! Thanks again.
