What kind of real-world performance am I going to see from this mod? It's over-rated like every other freaking free mod because the rattles from every goddamn other piece of plastic kinda drown it out in the first place.

Cheap plastic ****. I'm buying a Subaru. Or a Yugo.

You need key-fob location sensor simulators (like the CAGS piece).

Is yours a 98-00 if it is you can order one from KalecoAuto otherwise with the 2001-2002 models you can just use the same ones that they make for the Corvette C5.

Though from what I understand the 1998 KalecoAuto simulator had some installation and fitment problems because of the different valve covers on that model year (1998).

Regardless use your PSP or Nintendo DS to just clear the codes out when you are done.

+1 this is the best and easiest way to do it.
although, I found that wearing a tinfoil hat will also shut the light off. Added advantages: aliens cannot read you throughts. Just my .02

u need to ground urself before, during, and after accomplishing this mod. also, wear a tin-foil hat (as stated above), and tie about a 10ft. long metal pole to ur back, verifying the majority of it stretches beyond the top of ur head. this will ensure a secure electrical connection stays within the key fob while in transit from one side of the key ring to the other.

obviously, u will have a more noticeable hp increase if this mod is done during a thunderstorm.

now if someone could just post up a thread to show how to eliminate the clanging from the other keys hittin the dash. i'd pay someone to do it for me, but if it looks easy enough, then ill give it a try.

Go back to your room!!!

Obviously someone forgot to retune after doing the mod!

Either that or he tried to use a Sega to retune his car...

That crap never works.
