Nope. Depending on some factors, you might have a tiny bit of idle hunt, but nothing really noticeable. Some of the chips offered can correct that problem.

Yay, got my passenger seat out. Anything I should do "while I'm at it"?

I have my rennline full race floorboards. Also thinking of removing the blaupunkt thing as I removed the aftermarket stereo already. Probably not going back to stock, so figure I can pull that. What are the other things I'm looking at, and anything I should do besides clean it up?

does your headlight level adjuster work? if not look for the vacuum line that runs along the loom there
in last pic on the right ... it might be punctured or kinked ... good time to check

otherwise just check everything is secure and not causing rattles
and vacuum every nook to get rid of that extra weight

will look great with the track ali installed!

Are the sport seats in a 90 C2 full leather or is it just the inserts that are leather and the back & outside bolsters faux leather?

How involved is the process of removing the cat converter?

4 bolts on the exhaust flange and then the donut clamp. Lastly is the O2 sensor that gets unplugged in the engine bay and then fished through the engine tin hole by pressing the rubber grommet out. The skid plate on the bottom needs to be removed to access the nuts and bolts. 15 minutes maybe.

I wired in a keyless entry system so I don't need to use the key. It saves potential scratch marks on the door if you miss the locking mechanism with the key.

Cool. Thinking of having a local muffler shop make a cat bypass pipe for me. If it's that simple then I can trust them with it.

Are there any rebuild kits out there for our front calipers? I think at times my front right is a bit sticky, and the car will gently pull to the left.

I think Suncoast has the proper sizes for our cars, and the other link more for later years, but maybe I just skimmed through too fast.

For a 1990 C2, for just ONE caliper, do I need both the 40mm piston and a 36mm piston?

We do have sizes needed for the 964 and will be adding items specifically for 964 to racingbrake.com. Links will also be added here once items are available.
