I got the right remote and it works again! D

Question though, for rear mudflaps is 42.60 a decent price?

I spent $25 on "Defective" ZKW-R lenses. Here are some pictures of my work. I did the color mod by bending the sheild back a little bit more. After this though, I am having some trouble aiming them back to what they were originally. Oh well! That's what I get from moving up from a 2" projector to a 3" one.

Having these paired with my Hyundai Sonata/Tiberon fog lights give me amazing output with all blue!

I am going to be doing my PCV and other maintence things before I get my IPD ECU, I was wondering which plugs to go with? Volvo Turbo OEM is a must, but is there a better plug for us? I'm staying far away from Iridium plugs because I've herd some problems, but I'm wondering.

oem. I've heard countless times of people using aftermarket plugs and getting misfires, switching to oems and being completely fine, I'm sure it's hit or miss though.

I tihnk you're right. I have Bosch Platinum's in there right now, but I've lost a lot of my idle sound. I miss my old sound, so I'll be getting OEM soon when I do my PCV.

Should I be concerned about my car if it does not hold it's rev for a little bit when you start it in the morning? I've been noticing that my car does not really rev. This morning it didn't get above 2000RPM at the first start, and its very short, only lasting around 1 or 2 seconds after firing up.

The tale tell sign of fouled plugs is hard cold starting. But, that does not sound like plugs unless you have a lazy cylinder that is firing up when it gets warmer. That would hold your RPMs down.

Hmm.. Would a weak ignition coil cause it hard start?
