    Are JBL car speakers crap or do I just need an amp?

    I decided to get a pair of door speakers when I bought a new headunit (Panasonic C7303U). I decided to go with JBL GTO526s. They were on sale and I think JBL is supposed to be a good manufacturer? I may just be thinking that because I know people say good things about JL and they have a...

    Need one factory-style wheel

    Sorry for using this for classifieds but I had a small wreck - bent a wheel - and can't find another. I've called the junkyards and had no luck. I did find one on the net for $70 shipped but that is more than I can put into the car at the moment. I don't even know if the wheel has a specific...

    My "friend" jumped on my hood and scratched it...whats the damage?

    To keep it simple my friend jumped and layed across my hood, I got out and yelled at him to get the **** off, looked at it when I got home and he had scratched the paint, not thinking too highly of him at the moment :notnice: I'll avoid venting on here and get to the point. How much will it...

    I ordered a set of 4ohm subs and received the 8ohm model, does it matter?

    Title says it all. I ordered two kicker comp 05C104s and after being jerked around by the vendor I received two 05C108s three weeks later. I've been trying to contact the vendor but they have not responded. I plan to run them bridged at 2ohm. Does it matter that they are rated 8ohm instead...

    Glowing Manifold...what do you think?

    This is the second time its happened and the first was back in spring. I pulled over at night and my manifold was glowing orange - engine was ticking badly. Temp guage was only about an 1/8th of the way up. I let it sit for a few minutes and drove home without too much trouble. Someone suggested...

    For less than $120 what should I do about subs?

    I have an 88' coupe. I'm willing to spend up to $120 for my sub/subs. (not including the amp) I found these for $100. 2x10" http://www.cardomain.com/item/ROCP110S42PAK I'm not quite sure how I'm going to get subs in the tiny trunk so I don't know if 12"s are much of an option? Sorry...

    Fuel Pump not priming/Car not starting

    I did a search and went through a few pages but there is too much information that doesn't fit my scenario. Lets see... Car ran fine, drove to work. Tried to start it when I left and the starter cranks but the motor doesn't fire. I decided to move the key to the accessory position and...

    Still messing with the oil pan - few questions

    I've ran into several problems with this project but I finally made progress and have the pan lowered. Can't seem to get it off though, I think its just getting stuck on the pickup. I got one bolt off the pickup but I can't figure out how you get to the other. I'm wondering if they are the right...

    Getting the starter off.

    Trying to get the oil pan off an 88lx. How do you get to the top starter bolts? I can get to one but theres no leverage and the other I can't even see. There has to be an easy way...its the starter - I'm not seeing it though. :bang: Also how should I jack the engine up if I don't have a...

    Does a free flowing exhaust have neg. effects on N/A?

    I know there are so many posts about exhaust already but I searched for a while and didn't find my answer. It looks like I'm not going to be doing the turbo swap until around Christmas and my exhaust is rusting off too fast. In the last 2-3 months I've had the pipe split between the...

    Lifting the front with jack/jackstands - Best way to do it?

    I'm not too familiar with lifting cars. I recently bought a pair of jackstands and a floor jack. I remember seeing somewhere that the car should be lifted from the chassis under the door - at the notch close to the wheel. I tried that and it sounded like my car was getting ready to split. I...

    Aftermarket fan controller? Whats good and where can I get it

    My cooling fan doesn't come on automatically anymore (suprise huh?) I would prefer to have an automatic system with a manual override. I played around on google but I couldn't find anything for a decent price. Where is a good place to get such a thing?

    Oil Leak - Tranny probs

    Last time I had my oil changed they mentioned I had three oil leaks. I know my valve cover gasket is leaking but the others I'm unsure of. The whole thing is covered in oil. :D A couple weeks ago it got worse. I'm finding about 4+ teaspoons of oil under my car every morning. Other problems...

    Rear Defrost Repair/Removal (aged)

    My rear defrost is not factory installed. Its starting to show age and it makes the car look worse. The last couple strips seem to get slightly warm but none of the others and in fact the vertical strip on one side is starting to peel off so they're not getting anything anyways. I was going to...

    Finally got around to everything. (overheating issues + adding usb port)

    For almost two months now my stang has been crippled to the point I can't drive on the highway long enough to get anywhere. (Still got me around town and to work fine) My heater core was shot, my radiator was near fin-less, my thermostat housing was seeping coolant (warped), brakes were...

    Replaced heater core - now the blower isn't working

    I replaced my heater core today (all I need to say :bang: ) I tried to test it...no blower. I looked in from the glove box and checked the connections (everything was good) I checked the fuse...good too. I reached under the dash and behind the blower to find where the orange and...

    Adjusting the winshield wipers?

    My winshield wipers have always been a little high. The drivers side more so. I've looked in a haynes manual and searched around but I can't find how to adjust them. Now they are hitting the side. I think the haynes manual said something about it and it sounded like a common sense...

    Vacuum issues - Rough Idle - Advise me

    My engine has never idled perfectly. It was horrible when I first got it but a quick replacement of the FPR fixed that. It used to idle around 1500-2000rpms but at some point in the last few months it has went down and now it idles around 900-1000rpms. (Which is a pretty normal idle as far as I...

    Good colors for a fox body stang?

    I have an '88 Mustang LX and will have it painted in a couple months. Its white at the moment and needs a paint job to begin with. I would like to change the color. I'm thinking grey at the moment. I've also seen yellow and blue ones that I liked. If you have time could you post a few...
