Maybe a long shot, but I'm preparing for my first track event at Leguna Seca and it states 90 decibel sound limit. My exhaust is all stock except for Rogue Engineering El Diablo Muffler. I'm wondering if anyone has experienced getting flagged for too loud of an exhaust at this track?

I would Break-in for 1500 miles, 4k rpm max, and be sympathetic daily until the oil is at operating temp.
Days go by and I don't hit 4k rpm and it is still rapid.

Hello all for anyone who has installed a steering wheel on these cars, i was hoping someone would be able to answer this. So I installed a new steering coupler on my car and it threw the alignment off ie the steering wheel when driving straight is tilted a very few degrees. I know the cars alignment is good wheel to wheel wise so i was wondering if i could fix this steering wheel issue by removing the steering wheel and rotating it one tooth. My question is is this even possible though? I know the cars wheel has a mark that you are supposed to align so if i move the steering wheel over one tooth will it allow me to since this mark will no longer align? or does the steering wheel only go on one orientation and the angle cannot be adjusted at all..
Thanks

Can I drive a while with non functional O2 sensor heaters? I seem to have a short to ground and the fuse supplying power for all 4 O2 heaters keeps popping. Not sure yet if it’s a specific sensor that developed a short to ground or if my harness got damaged. Car keeps going into limp mode because of this - I can disable the error codes, but want to make sure my fueling won’t be drastically off until I can diagnose and fix this.

I have an angled driveway I go over everyday at work and I hear this creaking sound coming from my car (sounds like the front but it could be the rear). I took my car in for an alignment and they checked all the bushings and joints in the suspension and they said no issues so idk. RACP is reinforced with redish plates and vincebar so I'd like to rule that out lol.
skristedja If not the sway bar end links, maybe it's your sway bar bushings.

The TIS says to replace the oil pump pickup tube o-ring. I don't see anyone ever mention replacing this and didn't order one. It appears to be viton (brown rubber) and still in good shape. Do you guys think its ok to reuse?
I'd replace it. It's cheap and you're already in there.

I recently bought the Induktiv wireless charger kit and was wondering if I could wire it to the 'Sport' button on the dash? I hate the Sport function and never use it. I also don't want the Induktiv unit to always be charging my phone (on long road trips for example). I'm assuming I can add vampire tap to #1 and #5/6 on the wiring diagram attached? If it works, I'd cut the #2 (and #4?) wire behind the tap to disable the Sport function. Would this work?

I am approaching 70K on my vehicle and just ordered the serpentine/AC belt as the AC belt isn't looking great and I don't know the last time either belt was replaced. I have owned the vehicle approximately 4 years and have never changed them.
Question: Assuming the pulleys/tensioners/idlers are original at 70k should I replace everything or would it be ok to just replace the belts? No squeaking etc.
2nd question: What brand(s) are generally acceptable on the pulleys/tensioners/idler/associated bolts?
I think I will likely just replace everything but just thought I would ask.
