It time to break out those old cars and get them fixed up, and back on the road again, if we just let these old cars rot in to a pile of dust. We will lost a lot, we need to keep our cars up and running, we need to show these non-American Americans what's up. I know we still have some pride left in...

Get this. I've a 2003 Maxima that wears RE92 225/50/VR17s, basically $170+ tire. At 16000 miles, I'm already looking at having to replace a second tire. At about 5000 miles, I had a piece of construction debris cut my tire forcing it to be replaced. Now, it's about 16000 miles and I'm...

Back in the late '70s, I recall running across fleets of small pickups with small diesel engines in them (Nissan, Tohatsu, Isuzu, etc). All I saw were stick shift, and got phenomenal road fuel mileage. Although small, they were sprung like a billy goat (really stiff suspensions), and could carry...

My alloy wheels on my 97 accord are showing corrosion, scuffs and chipped paint on the wheel caps, I would like to replace them with some aftermarket alloys. Asthesitics aside, what should I look for in new alloys in as far as construction (2-piece 3-piece casts etc.). In regards to improving or...

Does anyone know of a site that lists car invoice prices in Canada?

This is an informational post as I was not able to find a clear answer in the archive - I figured it out for myself. The tensioner pully on the 3.8L is the farthest pully back into the engine compartment (closest to firewall/bulkhead) and if you were looking at a serpentine diagram for this...

I have a 91 honda civic lx and am trying to figure out if it is a 1.5 or a 1.6 liter engine. I have the manual but didn't see it listed. Can someone tell me how to check this

Hi, someone told me, it's possible to get a registration for a vehicle in a different state. He said there are two states, where I can get my car registred (MVD) even if I don't live there. I think, one of these states was Texas. Is that true? What was the other state? Thanx, Mark

Hi All, I was trying to decode my "new" 1984 Ford Bronco VIN and found what I consider to be a very decent VIN checking program. It is free for most of the info, pay for more details, but I got all the info I needed from the free part. http://www.autobaza.pl/ab/en/web/productaa0100

Please help! What to do? I cannot get off the rear wheel drum on my trusty '78 Honda Civic (just 100,305 M on it) to check the brake shoes. The nut is off, and I've loosened the brake adjustment, but the drum does not come off.(It can be rotated.) I've tried prying with a screw driver between...

Hi, All Responders: THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR REPLIES! I've learned so much from you. Herewith are the results. (My original request is at the bottom for reference.) 1) Stuck rear wheel drum. After I backed the shoes off to the maximum, the drum just slid off the axle. (The linings were still OK to...

Hi, My 99 Honda Civic LX (automatic, 30K miles) makes a tinny metallic sound, like tiny bells going off, when I make right turns (go figure) or if the road is bumpy. This happens often but not always, it is more frequent on warmer days. A few days ago the car started vibrating really bad at...

Hi, I own a 2002 Olds Bravada SUV with SmartTrack. But my question is about the air-leveling suspension. I live in a very cold climate and I have to keep taking the car for maintenance (under warranty) as the car raises up and then won't level back down. So the rear of the car always looks like it...

I have an 84 Chrysler New Yorker and when I turn the air on, the air has a bad smell coming through the vents for the first few minutes then it goes away. Now I did have the car setting up for a while (almost 2 years) and drove it very seldom during this period. So is there something that builds up...
