    Check Engine Light - Code P0678 - Shift Solenoid Circuit - Help?

    Anyone have any idea what this could be? And how expensive the fix is? I figured I'd have the code read at autozone before I dumped it at the mechanic, but I couldn't find much info out in the world about what to do about this or what caused it. Thanks!

    Dinged Rim Problems

    So here's the issue and I hope y'all can help me. When I got the rims and tires listed in my profile I was in the middle of a road trip and had to abandon my stock rims. Now after a brutal Boston winter, I'm dealing with the less than fun situation of driving around on dinged rims (okay to...

    Rust behind wheels, on rotors

    I recently got Enkei wheels and the piece behind where the wheel is bolted has been showing up with giant rust patches (the cylinder shaped piece in front of the rotor and behind the wheel). A good bit on my rotors as well. Cause? Solution? It looks like crap right now and I'd like to make it...

    Road Trip Probs, New Rims, Rubbing, and Other Nonsense

    So thanks to the debris covered southern roads, I took a piece of metal to the tire on the way to the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. Just one stop on a road trip from my summer job in Tuscaloosa, Alabama back to school in Boston, Mass. Tire couldn't be fixed and I was introduced to the wonderful...

    Tire Rubbing Help Needed Asap!!!

    I'm in the middle of a road trip and need some help really quickly... I'll post the whole story later, but thanks to the low availability of tires in the stock size for the MP5, I had to get a new set of rims and tires to get on the road (Toyo FZ4 205/40ZR16 mounted on 17x7 Enkei Shogun rims)...

    Help me identify these rims!

    I saw some sweet rims on another car today and I think I'd like them for my MP5, but I don't have any clue what they are. All I know is that they very much resembled a biohazard symbol, seen below. Thanks for any info you can provide!

    A/C Questions and Twisty Rave Reviews

    Quick question... FINALLY got to slam through some twisty roads (60-70 MPH on 35-45 MPH Curves and S's) (Boston area sucks for not having any) I had just turned my A/C off, I was in Tennessee where it was in the low 90s and fairly humid today, and as I went through turns, some water dripped out...

    Painted Calipers and The Car Wash

    I'm going to have some free time over this summer and after the speaker install, I'm feeling good about trying some other low level mods to keep working with my hands (as I type from the law library at 1:30 am when I should be working on finals). Anyway, I read all the threads on painting...

    Air Filter Question

    Just curious, in addition to allegedly improving HP, will the K&N Panel Filter also reduce my gas mileage? I've also heard that I should disconnect my battery for a certain amount of time after installing the filter to allow the engine computer to realign itself with the new airflow. What is...

    Super Audio Newbie: Help me Help Myself

    I'm a car audio neophyte to the umpteenth degree and my new speakers for my mid-year 2002 Pro5 just arrived and I realized that I'm in serious trouble. For starters, I was examining the speaker grille and it wasn't immediately apparent how I was supposed to pop it out with a flathead...
