Hello! The temperature has been decending every day and today morning my '98 Conti didn't start. Outside temperature was about -6'F. So when I started cranking, everithing was ok, but I heard explosions from only maybe 2 cylinders. So every revolution the same cylindrers fired, but it didn't...

Here. I think I reached 80 MPH between these 2 people walkin' uphill

Temperature was about 55'F but I accelerated uphil. I can take a picture of that road, so You can compare. it is hard to find empty roads with good surface here in Estonia.

I use 2 feet when accelerating. Left one is on brakes and right is on the accelerator. First I hold the brakes and gently press the accelerator until I reach 2000 RPM. At that moment release the brake pedal and press the accelerator with "feel". You can not burn the tyres or press the pedal to...

It is all stock, nothing removed or added..

I liked Your videos, so decided to take one also! It is a '98 Conti. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnwsBVBky94 I'm stallin' a bit without traction control and floorin' it. Road went slightly uphill. You can hear a sliping belt at 6000 RPM.

Hy! Maybe there is a problem that You changed metric units to english? Because 280 miles equals to 451 km!

Seems like Your shock absorbers are worn out..

It is really interesting, my Conti has got this damper system on back suspension. I checked factory DVD and found that there are no other differences than eliminating damper and it's mounting brackets on '99 and up. So it seems that dampers are just a waist of money on older models. If I brake...

It is '98. If I push the audio system too hard, the licence plate and some plastics begin to rattle. But there is no need for that. As pokeeto2 said- the system is just acceptable. I'm totally satisfied with it. One more thing, do You fellows know, that Our Continentals have got speed...

It is interesting that JBL logo appears different in various lightning conditions. Sometimes it is 3 dimentional and seems golden. Next time it is flat and silver. One logo can make such a big difference in values.. Some teasers..

I must say that I can listen music even at high speeds like 75 MPH. I can hear bass and highs over the road and vehicle noise. I like the JBL system very much! And I also like imprinted JBL logos on a wooden trim panels on driver and passenger doors, that symbolises quality and...

What was the reason for selling?

But sound dampening materials do not reduce noise produced by loose plastic or vibrating relay. I think it is possible to reduce road noise by choosing right tires. I came to this cause my friend had same problems with his Chrysler 300M. He tried 3 different tires like Michelin Pilot Primacy...

Am I the only one who is concerned about Continental interior noise? I like the car but the only problem is with noise. At slow speeds I start hearing something screeching in dashboard, then jumps in glove compartment and starts ticking, after that joins front doors trim panel and so on. Now...
