Can the trunk and gas door release cables be taken out from the driver's seat back?

Also, my windshiled has a chip which has turned into an inch long crack... will this pass tech?

Oh, on 10" wide tires... are 255 or 245 the widest possible? Because 25.4 mm = 1 inch... it appears 255s would be 10mm oversized... but in practicality, the thread may pass... or stated another way, what tire size should I order from Tirerack to maximize my thread width and rule boundaries?

Does anyone have a good site for (custom) braided steel hoses... or even better, is there a place in the Detroit area?

Thanks for the help from a noob... hoping to be ready in '06.
