    Thinking of adding a new one to the herd...

    Unfortunately, it's going to be a vehicle from a manufacturer that I personally loathe as a mechanic. I'm only considering getting one of these because it's my girlfriend's dream vehicle, and she really needs a car. 2004 Dodge Neon SRT-4 I've driven one before, and it's definitely a fun car...

    A4LD Differences

    I have a friend with a 1991 LX, 2.3 Auto. Her trans is shot, and we've found a replacement from a 93 LX 2.3 Auto. My question is, will that trans bolt right up? I've read a lot of random tidbits talking about a 3 or 4 pin connector on these cars, but I'm still not sure what the year range is...

    For those of you in the snow belt, what's your winter beater? *PICS*

    A few weeks ago, I traded my 1981 Bronco mud bogger for a 2000 Jeep Cherokee. I needed something good in the snow, and the Bronco was garbage to drive on anything other than mud, due to the 44" tires. I've been slowly fixing up the Cherokee to 'my standards', and here's where we are at with it...

    SVT Focus Pump Install

    So, I have my tank dropped and my old sending unit removed. I have an SVT Focus pump assembly here, waiting to be dropped in. Is there a write-up anywhere on what to do to swap these in? The buckets on these are different from eachother, and the pump on my Mustang has a little black plastic...

    Can't push gas pedal more than half way...

    So, I'm driving my car a few days ago and everything was fine, until out of nowhere, everytime I would push the gas more than about halfway down, it sounds like I have a stutter box. The exhaust seems to get louder right under me, and it's an even, consistent loud GRRRRRRR noise. Not like an...

    Wicked Rock Crawler!

    I know it's not Mustang related, but after all that talk about the Raptor, this seemed appropriate. Chainlink drive truck

    Thinking about buying a bike...

    A few of my friends took a motorcycle course, and ended up getting my name on the waiting list. I'm kind of geeked about it because I haven't ridden a bike in YEARS. Last thing I owned was a Yamaha 125 Enduro, and I thought it was a rocket (as a kid). Now I'm looking more towards something...

    Need keys made...

    I went to Atlanta last weekend for a family event, and ended up having my rental Charger broken into. The thieves made off with about $400 in tools that I brought to fix a family member's car, my radar detector, an FM modulator, power inverter, and the ONLY set of keys to my Mustang, Saturn...

    Show Car Mustang

    Can't sleep due to a massive toothache, so I decided to browse Craigslist a bit. It seems as if the crazies post at night, because I came across this beauty here. *** SHOW CAR MUSTANG *** Don't know whether or not to call it the McDonald's edition, or the Ketchup and MusTARDED...

    1994 Saturn SL1 bucking like crazy when cold

    My current temporary winter beater is a 1994 Saturn SL1 5 speed with the sohc engine. It's got 195k on it, and I've (within the last 500 miles) replaced the plugs, wires, both coils, ignition module, fuel injector, oxygen sensor, valve cover gasket, battery, all engine mounts, and a new OE...

    Carburetor help!

    So, I've been working on getting my winter beater running for a while now, and have come up against a few issues with the new carb I just put on it. It's a Holley 650 spreadbore single pumper, with vacuum secondaries. I don't know which vacuum nipple to plug the vacuum advance into on the...

    New rubber *Pics*

    I picked up some tires from a friend, and decided to take a few pictures. They are 335/35/17 Goodyears. They are prototype tires, so I'm not sure if they will ever be produced. They say "Not for resale" all over the inside of them. I dig the tread pattern compared to some of the other tires...

    If you had the money...

    Would you pay your car off, or buy a blower? I have no issue at all making my monthly payment, and will be coming into a small bit of cash soon. Should be around 6 grand, and I owe about 5 on the car still. I REALLY want to put a KB on the car. :shrug:

    Rear side marker removal

    How do I get these stupid rear side markers out? I figured they were a clip-in deal that I could pop out with a butter knife, but when I pried on one a little, it made an interesting noise and didn't really move. I reached up behind the bumper cover to feel the back, but didn't find much.

    MORE new parts for my car!

    A friend of mine came up to visit me last weekend from Ohio, and noticed my Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors in the kitchen. She asked me why they weren't on my car, and I explained that all of the shops around me wanted either WAY too much to do it, or they didn't have a drive-on lift...

    Decided to try the Wingless look...Yay or nay?

    I was compounding and polishing my car today and ended up taking off the spoiler to do the deck lid. I snapped a few crappy pictures with the wing off, and can't decide what looks better. My girlfriend says the car looks 'plain' without the wing, but she drives a Neon, so her opinion in this...

    Sway bar question

    Silly question, but better safe than sorry. I finally got the car all back together and bolted my sway bar up to the MM control arms, but it's REALLY low. I remember someone mentioning that it would sit lower, but this is below the pumpkin. I might just be stupid and have it upside down...
