Set of three original manuals: the "general" owner's manual, warranty manual, and stereo system manual. All are in good condition with normal wear, slight fading and some "dog-ear" pages, but they are clean. The cover of the warranty manual has the original owner's name on it, but the other...

Hi! Can anybody help me out with a Carfax? Below is the vin and my email for the reply. Many thanks! ;) VIN# JHMZE13761T000459 maweiser@yahoo.com

Just thought I would post this here too, in case you don't catch it in the "for sale" forum... Well guys, after much careful thought, I've decided I must sell my car. I know some of you are familiar with it. It is an '83 Chevy Malibu wagon with a complete '86 GN drivetrain. The engine is...

Somewhere recently I read about a website where you can check the consumer satisfaction ratings of individual car dealerships. Maybe I read it here. Anyway, does anybody know what I'm talking about and where I can find such a thing?

I recently installed an AFPR and trying to get comfortable tuning with it. What I'm wondering is, how does fuel pressure affect mpg? I'm assuming that as fuel pressure increases, mpg will drop because you're injecting more fuel per piston stroke, all else being equal. Is that right, or am I...

A while ago I spotted a tool that allows you to separate the front ball joints without using a pickle fork. It's sort of a vice-like thing that you place between the tips of the ball joint studs, behind the spindle, you crank on it to make it expand, and it separates the joints. Anybody know...

One of the threaded frame holes where the swaybar mounts to the frame on my car is stripped. :mad: Anybody know a way to repair this? Will I have to rethread for a larger bolt, or what?

I just discovered a pinhole leak in my radiator where one of the tubes meets the end tank. Is there any radiator additive I can use to plug the leak or will it have to be pulled and welded? I know there are lots of products out there, but do any of them really work or is it all just hype? Thx...

I've always heard certain brands of gas are "better" than others, have better additives or whatever. That some knock less than others, octane and everything else being equal. Do you prefer a certain brand of gas, or have you found some brands to be better or worse than others? I filled up...

I took a drive up into the mountains the other day and at a certain point, the AC started blowing warm. Coming back through the same point a few hours later (at around 4,000 feet altitude) all of a sudden the AC started working again. Nothing else different. The rest of the way down the mountain...

I've about had it with this heat wave. It's been in the 104-106 range where I am every day for weeks. The other night the temp only got down to 83, breaking an all-time summer record for the "highest low" overnight. I'm already sweating before I even leave the house for work every day. Yesterday...

I lose about 4lbs. of vacuum according to my gauge when I switch on the air conditioning. And it's only with the AC, not the vents or heater. Is this normal or do i have a leak somewhere? If it's a leak, where's it likely to be? Thx....!

I just gotta vent. I hate using those damn coin-op air pumps at gas stations. I really miss the days when gas stations were Service Stations and they had an air compressor in the shop that made real pressure. I have a small portable air cylinder that I like to use at home to keep my tires...

I have the 12" front brake upgrade (via the Robert Adams kit) with PFZ brake pads. The pads rattle like crazy over bumps and it's driving me nuts. How can I shut those things up? Any special springs or shims I can install, or spooge to smear on the calipers/pads? Thanks! ;)

I was planning to install a set of aluminum drums on my car. Got 'em turned and glass-beaded and everything. Then realized the extra thickness of the units now means my wheels are not "hub-centric" if mounted with the alum. drums. In other words, the center bore of the wheels no longer fits over...

I'm planning to buy a "bookshelf" stereo system for my house and was wondering if anyone has advice on a good unit or good websites to read reviews on these systems. I'm looking to spend around $300 on a compact unit with CD player, tuner and good sound quality. Do any come with DVD ability too...

Long story short, my wife really wants an older VW Bug. :rolleyes: I figure she's put up with my car habit long enough, I can give in and get her the car she really wants (even though I can't help thinking of the better, faster, more interesting used cars I could buy for the same money)...

I'm thinking of installing a heated 02 sensor. I have an old plug-n-play kit that I bought used and the connectors don't work on my car (must be for an earlier car or something). So rather than rewire the connectors, I figured I'd just hook it up to 12v and ground. So I'm wondering if anybody...

A local shop today quoted me $700 for a new Eaton posi unit including installation. I was told about $350 for the unit, a $250 flat installation fee, and $100 for an axle parts kit (new bearings, seals, etc.). Is this a decent deal or am I high? Sounds like a good price on the Eaton, but what...

Seems like I read in a recent thread that too much fuel can cause knock. True? Reason I ask is I'm fighting a battle with part-throttle knock. I'm showing double-digit knock retard at low boost and recently installed a Power Plate to try to deal with it. This helped, but it seemed to just...
