    It's been a while

    Hey guys, Haven't been around these parts in a while. Two summers ago, the stang went down for the count (head gasket, I imagine) and I haven't had the time nor money to bring it back to life. While I still don't have the money, I may have the time, so I'm going to try to get her running...

    Have to change an alt. on a '99 2.4l Cavalier

    Am I going to run into any problems? If it's close to as easy on a 5.0, I'll be fine. I read somewhere that I have to use a pry bar to get the belt back onto the alt, but that would seem to indicate that their is no tensioner on the engine... Somebody here must have experience with...

    Spring time plans

    Hey guys - haven't been around here much. After the HG went on the 5.0, I've been a bit depressed about the mustang. She's sitting in storage now, so I haven't been thinking too much about her. With the new year coming, I'm going to have to get my butt in gear and get her running...

    So after my overheating issue, the car will not start now

    It's acting like it has a dead battery. The battery is however, good. 90% charge on the charger, and it starts my Audi up fine. I've checked all of the connections, and everything *looks* fine. It won't crank, it only clicks. FP does the typical 'clicky clicky clicky' noise. When I try to...

    So I was driving home...

    and I noticed my temp gauge was going up, fast. luckily I only had about 500 yards until my place. I parked it, promptly shut off the engine and opened the hood. It took a bit of time, but coolant started flowing steadily out of the overflow bottle and onto the road. I could also hear...

    A fork in the road

    I never wanted to make this thread, but I think it's fair, and in my best interest. As some of you may know, I'm in my graduating year of my undergrad degree. In weighing out my options for the next chapter in my life, I'm coming up with several directions in which to take. One of the more...

    Wheel chirping

    Hoping you guys could help me out with this GFs car has a chirping sound coming from the wheel over 2k rpm. Applying the brakes does not make the sound decrease. Before this, it made a 'whoosh, whoosh, whoosh' sound through first gear, but not after. I haven't had a chance to look at...

    quick audio Q

    Trying to swap headunits. I've swapped the harness over and done all the wiring. Everything looks correct. The unit is getting power...and the ground checks out. The fuse looks good. It won't turn on though. Is there anything else I might be overlooking?

    I know there's someone in here that works at a paint store

    I need to do a cheapo rattle can paint job on my Audi bumpers in a pearl white colour. I can't afford to have a body shop spray it, as it will be atleast $750 (not inculding prep). So what do I have as options? Is there even a pearl white available in a spray can?

    Poor ride quality

    I'm not sure - maybe I just expected more out of my new suspension, or maybe something is wrong. I just don't think the ride is where it should be. Newly installed: Tokico Illuminas 5way MM STB 03 FLCAs Aluminum rack bushings Tie rod ends (eibach pro-kit...has been on there for a...

    Car is running again...

    Finally! Going tomorrow to get some temporary plates for an e-test. Can't wait to start driving it again. :nice: I'll post some pics of what I had to do (and my ugly engine bay) in a couple days. The new alternator setup looks pretty good, too.

    Fuel tank/pump/line overhaul

    For a number of reasons, I want to drop the tank, and do some maintenance. Among these reasons: - I believe I have a rusty filler neck (that sounds dirty) - I am positive I have a hole rusted in my trunk on the driver side (only about an inch hole, but the infected area is about 4x4...

    Who has deleted smog?

    As some of you may know, a couple weeks ago, I had a small engine fire. One of the casualties was an EGR wiring harness and loom, that comes out of the fenderwell, splits, and then goes to the canisters on the main Smog tube (I believe two other wires, then also go to the EGR itself - I think...

    305 on a 9.5in rim

    I did some searching and came across a lot of conflicting information. Anybody done this themselves? Is it just a matter of finding a shop that is willing to do it and take the extra time to balance the tires - or is it not safe? I need new tires and I'm trying to decide between 305s and...

    How much do you think you would have to pay for....

    A wrecked AWD 5.0 Explorer? My friend is sick of the 3.0 in his ranger and is looking for a change. I figure the easiest way to get it done is to find a wrecked explorer in a JY (since he wants to keep something similar to 4WD) Anybody have any thoughts :shrug:

    Engine caught on fire yesterday...

    If I wouldn't have been quick on the draw, I would have lost it all. I think the alternator started arcing on something (not sure what) and it ended up lighting my CAI couplers on fire, an harness for the EGR, and my oil fill cap. If it would have been on fire for any longer, it would have...
