Possibly oil level. Usually when I'm getting crazy and I haven't checked my oil level, I'll get the oil level buzzer when sliding to the left. On a few of my FCs that sender was gummed up and stuck, so even without oil it wouldn't trip the buzzer.

hmmmm. I'll check the oil level. I just had an oil and coolant change about 1200 miles ago. But I'll look anyway. It could be the slosh if anything. It happens when I change direction violently or when I regain traction violently. So it's very possible its that. I'll check the levels and If they're fine I guess go the baffle plate route.

Just a thought for folks that want to nuke the buzzer ... on one of my FCs I pulled the buzzer off the cluster board and ran a plug and wires to a shift-light that I mounted on the idiot light bezel. So I still have the warning effect, but it's a big Oh **** light instead of an annoying buzzer.

it's more than likely coolant buzzer. checking fluids every other day, and during every track session is only common sense. you could cut it out of the cluster and never be bothered with it again.
mine was stuck on for a week anytime i drove my car, when i had the coolant temp wire grounded, oil was good...
before someone replies with a smart *** remark, Yes i cut it out due to my reasoning above, and i have had, and wont have any issues relating to it so keep your stupid comments to yourself.

We moved into a new facility in mid Dec, the land lord jsut fixed the damn door to the dyno, got anchored today. So stoked its back in action and we wont get noise complaints at this location.
I got this **** to throw in. Haltech E8 to replace my Microtech, Holset, 50mm wastegate, LSX coils, 1600 cc secondaries, V-Mount setup and Rad, high pressure water injection setup, -6AN fuel lines and AEM Reg. gonna parallel the rails.
Hunting Down an M-sports kit and overs and a vented hood. My car needs some class.
Thought you guys might like this. High comp 20b, Haltech, GT42, its hard to send it home evertime we finish with it. haha. Throttle response is ballistic to say the least. In for a water injection setup and a cold air box.

Need I point out that if you can't tell your car is low on oil or heating up rapidly you should know BEFORE the buzzer goes off?
Seriously, disable it. The one in the blue car went off even when it was wired directly with a new sensor in place. **** happens, turn the music up.

^lmao, I still don't get that. did you get that motor like dirt cheap nopistons? you are becoming the spokesperson for making random **** work on FC's. I love it. nobody swaps VG's into these. Am curious to see how that goes though.

I thought i was becoming the ultimate douche but just the same, thanks guys.
They'll be some ghetto **** involved. That's for sure. Everyone who has given me **** about it and hated on it or scratched their head keeps me going because i want to show what the big fuss is about.
I take pride in my ****. It's called pwning ballers with my ghetto steeze.

w/e you have to do to get it out there sideways, right? I'm working 7 days a week right now out in the cold flagging traffic so I can pay my bills AND pay for my coilovers. also gotta finish up welding for my new rocker panel (PITA). spring rolls around, I'll be out there shredding tires (trying to anyway, full stock na here).

well its a drift/daily I got for 1500 bucks. its from maine originally and runs great. the passenger side rocker was tiger hair/ bondoed over without fixing any rust so the entire underside of the rocker eventually became non existent during my ownership. I was laid off for 2 months and can do the work myself so I did. I didn't have money for any other parts so whatever. rest of the car is in good shape, just some very minor surface rust underneath and needs some paint. (going from red to black anyway). I felt it was necessary with how far gone the rocker was. Everyone told me to junk it and get another car but sentimental value made me fix it I guess.lol. and yes, I did completely re-structure the entire back section, probably stronger then OEM.

like I said, sentimental value. and it doesn't have a sunroof so I like that (the sunroof on an FC just bugs me, I will never have a sunroof in mine) and after my swap I can insure it as an na still. no power anything or abs so less wiring too. it hasn't been that hard to fix honestly and I don't mind. I'm not a slacker so I get **** done (when I have the money to get things like this done). this is a "someday it'll be great" project. that's way in the future.lol
