Guys, I *have* to run a front plate... by
Nate Nagel[_2_]
I'm ****ed at GM right now... not homicidally ****ed, mind you, just a
little more so than the usual low level annoyance at their craptastic
products. However, this is an example of why people continue to think
that their products are cheap junk.
My company car is a current body Impala, it's...

Witness: 'Shame on you, Toyota, for being so greedy' by
john
Some excellent testimony videos. Looks like Toyota USA is only a sales
front, no engineering know-how, manufacturing or safety recall
decisions (all done in Japan). And that Lentz guy doesn't seem to know
anything but sales. What a shame.
Videos on:...

Does any engine's PCV hose have a intercooler* ( for hot climate ) ? by
TE Cheah
If PCV valve is plastic, user will not notice that the air flow from
rocker cover to inlet manifold is hot ( in a hot climate ), only if
valve is metal, user can touch & notice this heat.
I think if a * is added, air intake will be much cooler til (i) EGR (
consumes electricity - scarce when...

failed strut mount??? by
George[_23_]
'99 Cavalier. About 15K miles ago, I replaced the rear struts and their
upper mounts. Today, I found that the metal sleeve in one of the mounts
(ie, where the strut rod goes through, and tightens down on) had ripped
out, and the top of the strut rod was just flapping around inside...

Watch the Toyota Hearing Tomorrow by
john
So the recent recalls still don't fix 70% of problems out there! The
electronic throttle's engineering seems far inferior to those of GM
and Ford. Looking forward to see what Akio Toyoda says.

It's not clear what this prof did with his "short."

God drives a Ford (with a rat motor!) by
M.A. Stewart
Eric Clapton (aka 'Clapton is God'), guitarist extraordinaire, commissioned
a California rod shop to build a sweet little '40 Ford, which has a honkin'
blown rat motor stuffed in it. It's a work of art.

Toyota loses its way by
john
Yoshi Inaba sounds like a clairvoyant. ;) I wonder if there will be
charges and arrests in the Toyota case as the Japanese government did
in the Mitsubishi case.
