Это удивительно!

My P5 has that too. I'm about 95% certain that's the initial rush of air getting sucked into the filter when you punch the throttle; it's a sound that the factory intake box system is designed to suppress. Carmakers tend to like their engines to be as quiet and smooth as humanly possible (with...

Are you certain about that? I have been for years under the impression that the P5 front and rear wheel bearings are different, i.e. the rears are a slide-out-the-hub-and-slide-a-new-one-in affair, but the fronts require cutting and a hydraulic press. (The link claims to be for a front...

I'm gonna have them off this weekend anyway to replace the clips and springs and such, so while I'm in there, remind me - where exactly do the squeal tabs go again? I'm either going to feel awesome or stupid.

Edit: saw the disclaimer at the end of the OP. Never mind.

On the occasions where I have trouble getting her into Reverse, I just keep the brake pedal down and the shifter in neutral and let up off the clutch for about a second, then push the clutch back in and try again. I seem to recall seeing something in the owner's manual about it and that was the...

True, but exposing a material to a higher temperature than it is expected to see is a good, experimentally-sound way to speed the aging process in order to evaluate the material's performance. I work for a company that does failure testing for electrical insulation materials. Only accredited...

2003 Protege5 just turned over 200,000 miles on Sunday, just a few feet before a commuter parking lot where I was able to stop and take a picture. Unfortunately, my phone camera doesn't seem to like my dashboard. I have some pics but they're all blurry.

Just rolled over 200,000 miles late last night. Still on the original clutch. I love this little car.

For what it's worth, I'm still on the original clutch and I just rolled over 200,000 miles (320,000 km) last night.

Bloody hell, I wish I could afford this right now. My cheap ebay intake is held in place by the TB coupler and some creative zip-tie work. I *need* this damn box. Is this going to be still available in 3-5 weeks, when I've got my expired plates un-expired and my engine tune-up done and get...

I'm generally anti-Your-Mom-jokes, but my mind grabbed this like a fat kid grabs a corndog. [OnTopic] Granted, I live in Missouri, where south of The River we mostly scoff when someone says they found a flat straight stretch of road, but on the interstates you can find them, and I can't say...

Okay, this might be a little bit of a read, because it's a recurring problem that I've been trying to fix as the money was there to fix it. I promise I'm trying to keep it concise. (Ninja Edit for background info - 2003 MP5, MTX, stock except cheap Ebay SRI) About 2 years ago, I needed 2 new...

I'll have to see if I can find the link, but I read somewhere that the direction of the slots doesn't really matter - it has to do with the direction of the vents inside the rotor. If the vents are curved or angled, the rotors should be installed to maximize the airflow through those vents...

Free vicegrips!

Damn right it is. Also, another Laser Blue to the poll.

I've always been a firm believer that when working on your own car, if you don't leave at least a tiny bit of blood and/or knuckle skin behind, you didn't do the job right. By that standard, replacing these brakes and rotors is the best job I've ever done on anything, ever. And that's despite...

Quick note (because I know a few people who might make this mistake after reading that otherwise excellent explanation) - He is NOT saying to pour Seafoam into your brake FLUID. DO NOT WANT.

Don't forget the possibility of oil getting into the cooling system.
