Sticker removal
Use a heat gun or Mama's Hair dryer when she isnt at home. If you dont warm it enough the sticker just breaks off...too much heat and it will stretch..just the right amount and slowly pull them off. Any residue from the adhesive can be removed with "Goof Off"
Hey Ron!!!!!!!!!!
Where is mine? You're getting way too much attention.

Forgot to mention that there are now 2 fuel maps on the 2009 Dragon. They come mapped for Ethanol fuel but by plugging in 2 wires you get the second map with more power for the good fuel. I know you lose 3-5% power with E gas but don't know how that relates to the map change. Guessing that E gas more prone to detonation.

Ron, Question
.... Bonafied 1" at the front of the tunnel.... from the lug tip to the roof of the tunnel above the drive shaft????
The parts books show the same part number for the chassis as the 2008. I wonder where the drop came from? Are they using factory 7 tooth drivers now?
Can I trouble you for a pic of the Chaincase cover and under the hood looking at the details of the bumper mount?

I'll spend some more time on the measurement....I stuck a tape through a window and deducted the track/lug height, but may not have been at the closest point.
I'll get some pic's later today...starting mods today.

Eric,
Spent some time getting a more accurate measurement....looks like .65". Slid different width material down the tunnel til I found a piece the right thickness. I don't think anything has changed except the thickness of the single ply track...it is 2.51" from one side of track to the tip of cleat. When I get the suspension out I can get the most accurate measurement with calipers, still hart to get the cleat centered exactly.
On another note it seem that the "On Sale" Holtz coilovers from last year will work on the stock 09 rails. Suspensions are still priced at 40% discount at $840 for Zero & $1200 with Floats, including shipping. There is room on the rail to move the rear mount back 2", now checking on the front. Calling Holtz monday & will post my findings.
