No, that doesn't bypass warming it up before shutdown. You do that if you warmed it up by letting it idle, rather than driving.

3. The 04AT isn't as bad as everyone makes it out to be
4. Replace your visors every 3,000 miles
5. If you put your dash light scroll wheel all the way up, when you turn the head lights on it gives you a different set of colors for the dash.
6. No strakes. Unless you just happen to like that Crossfire look.
7. You only get noticable horse power gains with mostly FI.
8. There is no cow level.

Well if you've already got it replaced then you don't worry about it, supposedly they fixed the problem. But it was an issue for awhile.

Man did I have fun driving with my visor down...all day....all night.

Yes sir. Give 'em a call and let them know whats up and then they'll have you take it in.

Not sure exactly how long it takes because when I had mine replaced I was also getting other stuff done to it aswell but I don't imagine they'd have to keep it over night if you got it in there early in the morning and gave them a heads up before.

Edit: By the way, where is screwston at??

Never heard of it before

If you're new to RWD and a fair amount of power, leave DSC ON.
