I am living in Kaneohe and was wondering if anyone has a stock left taillight sitting around that they would sell me. I need to get it fixed this month.

No, there is definitely something going on with the yellow MP5. They had it on the street a couple of times, but in last night's episode they had it in a picture in the background (just like pasadena said). Not a street shot. Glad someone else noticed it.

I also did the sea foam treatment at the same time, it really smoothed out a lot of things.

Couple of things to check. 1) If you just got new tires then they may not be balanced (if you hear a thumping/vibration) Get a friend to drive next to you at highway speeds to check the balancing. 2) The ticticticing may be something stuck in the wheel. I hear a ticking and checked the...

Thanks for the How To. I somehow got to 90K before the car started to stall out on me. I decided to just replace the EGR completely. ~$125 and an hour of work. It's like getting a new car.

Adjusting the belts should work, but be careful. I bought crappy Autozone belts the first time I replaced them and they burned up the first week and the car overheated. The stupid belt was way too thick. So we got a mechanic to put new ones on and they still squeal. Make sure you buy OEM...

If you blink really quick and look away you will see the afterimage of the dots. Only the afterimage is green. Here is how it works. When you stare at the sun and close your eyes or blink you see the afterimage. This illusion works by making the afterimage (which appears several seconds...

so everyone else seems to have noticed the sweetness that is the A3. For me: 1) Audi A3 2) Volvo S40 3) MX-5 4) Mazdaspeed 3 wagon 5) Civic coupe

Well 40 out of the 45 Democratic Senators received money from him so it's not a Republican thing, its a Politician thing.

I refer to the movie as "Bareback Mountain" myself, be honest, we need a gay cowboy movie as much as we need to see Elton John's wedding televised.

Wheelmax is listing the DeCorsa Fusion Wheels as 16x7s that fit the Pro5. I checked the DeCorsa website and they only make 17x7s. So assuming these wheels (see http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=10294) are sized at 17x7 - 5x114.3 - 40, will they fit correctly? I thought I read in...

LEDs need to have a current of about 10 to 20 miliamps, any more than that and the life span is significantly reduced. So if you try to just hook up LEDs without designing your circuit first they will pop and melt. http://faqlight.carpassion.info/signal-leds.htm is a great website that...

Hmmm, everyone is busting on the wheels but I like them.

Be careful, "load equalizer" is just a fancy term for a resistor, if you diy you can solder a couple resistors for the blinkers instead of paying some ridiculous price for "load equalizers". All of the car companies are using Lumileds since they are the brightest but frankly the much cheaper...

Someones got to hit the hero styling.
