I personally think car covers are bad news for outdoor storage. They harbor moisture and make a humidity tent out of things. cars rust much faster with covers on, even the so-called breathing ones. Probably not as much of an issue in dry climates. Plug the tailpipe to keep rodents out, and the airbo...

cut the springs one coil smaller. Works absolutely great. I have run mine like this for 2.5 years now, there are no problems. All the stories about why this is a bad idea are crap, it is fools who cut off way too much that screw it up, not the idea itself. Also I would not cut springs that are flat ...

The biggest improvements I made were adding a rear sway bar, and replacing the rack with a fresh one from the junk yard, both of which came to less than $200 total. I also replaced the rack bushings nat. At way over 100k miles the rack will not feel like new with just a fluid change. Have you looked...

WTB: trailer hitch to fit 92 wagon
If you have a hitch to sell then hit me back. Prefer 1 1/4"because I already have the insert and ball, but if you have the whole thing in the larger size, then that is good too.

KYB, Whiteline paint quality = joke
After 18 months of service (one winter) much of the paint on my KYB AGX's and Whiteline sways is rusted off and looks like crap. I'm pretty disappointed considering the money spent. The Bilstiens and Racing Dynamics equivalent parts on my BMW look much better after 9 years of service, much of it rou...

yes new pads and coat liberally on the backs of the pads or shims with the blue or red anti-squeal goo. also check the condition of the rotors while you're at it, and grease the slider pins with lithium grease, and bleed calipers as well. It might have been a while since someone did maintenance so b...

Where are you in Georgia ? I'm gonna be down there on business in late Feb (starting the 19th), and if you are anywhere in the north part of the state, I may come take a look. I would not be averse to driving the car home to RI if it came to that. Is there any rust or any sign of it ? Past accident ...

Never go to a financial planner who sells securities - that is a basic conflict of interest, since they have incentive to steer you toward high-fee securities, thus lining their own pockets with your money. if you don't have any plan at work, probably the best thing to do is open a traditional IRA o...

your brakes show a lack of maintenance which is why the slider pins are trashed. Also the popped piston probably resuted from the pads wearing all the way through the lining and maybe even the backing plate falling out (as can happen particularly on Hondas with worn-out pads). This lets the piston o...

My guess would be somewhere in the low 80's max for decibels with a rude, loud exhaust. Some of the auto reviewers list bB for rtested cars at cruising speeds, around 70 mostly. Remember is a log scale so 80 is 10 times louder than 70. I have a dB meter here at work for measuring machine noise so as...

Pretty cool. I put in what I did to the wagon (WRX in front plus performance pads all 'round) and it showed a 38% increase in front bias. I did not notice this so much because it seemed to me that the front was very weak in stock form, and with the warped rotors I had it was downright dangerous. It ...

I think your problem may be related to the drains being plugged on the evaporator case. You should see little pudles forming under the car whe the AC is on. Even if you do the drains may be partially blocked, allowing water to stay in and then causing foul mold to build up. If you clear the drains a...

Yeah sunroofs don't have seals really, they just have dust boots the edge around the sunroof is a rain gutter, and if the drains are clogged you are screwed, it fills up then drains into the car I like the bike cable method best for trying to clear them, compressed air tends to blow the hose right o...

heat pipes MOVE heat, they don't get rid of it. So the use would have to be to move the heat from somewhere it is, to somewhere you want it where you can transfer that heat. At that point you still have the same problems and solutions with regards to getting rid of the heat (transferring it to the a...
