    I thought rain was an excuse to speed up and test one's driving skill? Maybe not!

    CA drivers

    I think it will be a toss up between the g force's or the s drives. The reviews on the spec 2's are too conflicting for me to feel comfortable about. Thanks!

I am looking for a tire that handles great on the road with the possibility of taking it aoutoxing or road racing. However I don't want to drive 40mph in the rain, and I don't...

    Denso spark plugs I bought for my 2002 protege 5. Bought, and then realized it was not time to change the plugs. Brand new, never installed. My good karma contribution to the forum.

    damping/dampening????

    Blown strut, huh? That was the last thing I was thinking. Makes sense though. I guess I will have my mechanic check it out. The car is bouncy even on flat serfaces. And it is not because I have stiff springs. On occasion the car's suspension seems to travel a little too much in a high...

    damping/dampening????

    Can someone tell me what damping or dampening is? I have tockico illumina's with stock springs. The car has always felt fine with the exception that at slow speeds the car is overly stiff. However, 30k miles later, the handling all of a sudden feels different. So, my question is, w/out...

    Gas tank/gauge problem

    ONLY 66K! They said that the gauge was a result of the fuel pump and that that was a seperate issue.

    Gas tank/gauge problem

    First of all, my gas guage seems to be off. I can drive 140 miles before the thing moves, or it will move to a 1/4 of a tank having only driven 40 miles. Simultanously, when I have tried to fill my car the last three times at three different stations, I was not able to put more than a gallon...

    Good gas mileage

    I am liking your car Pr5owner! I have the same rims, but my car is black and not lowered. I guess that makes a difference. I just got 32.5 hwy averaging 85. I was pretty happy about that. Only mod is an aem sri.

    Tire recommendations

    The August edition of grassroot motorsports (current issue?) rates 5 different high performance summer tires including the kuhmos. They actually got better lap times with the Fuzion.
