Yeah had 103,000 miles when my battery finally died, on the highway. Coasted into a autozone and replaced it in the parking lot. Used the scissor jack on the passenger side and took the wheel off. I got mine out through the bottom. Took me about an hour to get it off and another hour to install.

I must have gotten a bad one then but I had to shave off 3/4 in off the flange to clear the oil pan. It's a nice cheap upgrade but to me I wouldn't do it again if I had the chance. Would have gotten ud pulleys or something else performance wise.

Also forgot to mention I throw a cel randomly and some times when it rains due to water getting on the o2 censor causing low temp. Oh yeah and it makes the car harder to start. Okay sorry im done just years of built up frustration.

+1 on eBay. But if I had to do it again I wouldn't have put a header on it. At least not an obx. Mine didn't fit right and had to do a lot of grinding so it would not hit the oil pan and the stainless is way too thin. Also I didn't like the loss of torque down low. I just though it was more a...

Well I still have the p5 due to financial and credit Reasons and couldn't get the 3. Oh well but I love my p5 and smoked a guy in a 3 wagon coming off the JTB to 9a overpass the other day haha ! And I have my drz400sm to keep me happy in the speed department.

I'll do that now. Just read your sc thread HK nice work! I probably would have gone that route if I had a 5 speed.

Just noticed that my main crank pulley wobbles a little by prob 1/8-1/4 inch. Just wondering if I should be worried, like it is coming loose or I have a bearing going. Just wanted to get your thoughts. Never noticed it before, 108,000 on her I don't believe I overtightened my belts but hey any...

Looks like I will be looking into a Mazda 3 2.3 hatchback 5 spd. How are these cars compared to ours? I have driven the sedan 2.3 with tiptronic and it was pretty quick, at least compared to our cars.

Never mind guys she sold it already, for 3,200!!!!! (slamming head on key board). Im so mad at my self.

I think that swapping the bumper would take away value from my car when I sell it??? I dont know. The kbb value of my car is $5,135 and his is $3,720. As far as life of autos and when they start having troubles, is it further down the road or does it depend on many factors? oh, E3 plugs were...

So what do you guys think. I do all the work on my car so I know it is 100% I am worried about the long long term reliabiltiy of the auto trans vs. the 5spd trans. I plan on keeping either car till the wheels fall of probably. But would it be worth the extra money I would make and the fun factor...

So my buddy's mom is selling his car, which happens to be the same year (2002) and color as mine (white). The difference is that his is a 5spd and mine is an auto. Okay so I would like to know If I should sell my car and buy his, and make about 1500 in my pocket. The Info: details about each...

I broke the plastic piece that attaches the metal clip.

Yah that was what I said to him but he assured me he has seen the same people come in replacing their bulbs. Could be wrong though. Oh and I was pretty pissed off about having to change my light and in the process of changing it I got a little frustrated and broke that metal clip tha holds the...

I just repaced my second low beam a week ago and expresses my pissed off-ness to the guy working at the counter in NAPA and he said people come in all the time buying the the H7 bulbs and he said from his experience working with NAPA they burn out the fastest. So maybee its not so much our cars...

I believed i used the Duplicolor brake kit with the brush, i put my car on four jack stands and took all of the calipers to paint. I put two coats on all 4 and they have been on for about 8 months now and are chipping pretty badly. So i would make sure you clean them really well and def. put on...
