Traditional "Plus-Sizing" involves changes of dimensions in two directions: The plus-size rim and tire both get wider, and the sidewall of the tire becomes shorter("lower profile"), maintaining correct speedometer ratios. My perception of plus-sizing is that the only thing that should change size...

I believe it is E=PV/2 So for a tyre running at 200 kPa, you need 100 Joules for every litre of space inside the tyre. Now a portable 12 V compressor takes about 1000 seconds to pump up a tyre on a medium-sized car. You probably have to pause as these contraptions get hot, but active time is 1000...

I wanted to see if I could rejuvenate a battery that's dead and several years old but never saw much use. Sat in a car that mostly sits in the garage. I stuck it in my '89 Toyota Cressida, cleaned the terminals on the battery and the cable ends, hooked them up and jumped it with the good battery....

Many US cars from the 1960's had a buzzer that you could set for any speed. Go over that speed and the buzzer would go off. It looks like no US made cars have that now. Anyone know of an aftermarket one?

A few auto companies are switching to turbo charged 4 cylinder engines to replace a naturally aspirated V6's. Hyundai is a great example. In the new Santa Fe SUV and mid sized sonata, engine choices include a naturally aspirated 2.4 liter 4 cylinder at around 200hp or a 260-260hp turbocharged...

Hello, I have a 2009 LaCrosse. Very low mileage; only about 25,000. Car is always garaged at night. Last Spring, the warning lights that indicate Traction Control and Stability Control problems came on, often, and the Dealer replaced some module under warr. No problem since then, until-

so, my prediction of no turbodiesel ever in a compact form for US did not hold water: http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/2013-subaru-xv-crosstrek-first-drive-review JB, would you be willing to swap your gas burner for this turbodiesel?

Short story, I've been driving for almost 50 years and I've never needed or appreciated ABS. My ABS started acting up a couple of years ago, probably due to one or more bad wheel sensors, (a known issue on these cars). I pulled the fuse, the ABS light came on and there were no more intermittent...

I'd like to have rain visors (window deflectors). But I only want it when I park my car in a parking lot, and take it down when I leave. Is there such a thing? Can any rain visors on the market be temporarily installed and be removed whenever I like?
