    reverse lights

    Well I have to pass VA inspection and they seem to be Nazis around here about it. So I'll have to fix my inoperable reverse lights. The blubs are good and the fuse is good. Before I go digging in checking wires, does anybody have any suggestions? Is this possibly a common problem with an...

    Brake problem (accumulator?)

    My breaks didn't work as well as I'd like them to this morning. The pedal is mushy and goes all the way to the floor. A couple years ago I replaced the accumulator and the brakes worked like new. (Although, I can't remember exactly what the problem was back then, which would help.) The brake...

    Yesterday at work I saw a Black Ford Ranger for sale. It was the most recent body style. It was all black with 2 huge hood scoops. On the side it had a badge that said "Thunderbolt" and had a lightning bolt right under it. I searched and I only came up with this: Link And that's a lightning...

    Drove a 350Z

    I work at an auto auction so I get to drive lots of cars but not many are too special. Today i got to cruise around in a 4000 mile 2003 Nissan 350 Z for a little bit. This car is pretty amazing. It made every other car i drove today seem like a sack of dirt. It sold for $30,000 which seem...

    Any body guys out there?

    I've got a nasty rotting spot up in the corner of my a-pillar. Anybody know how expensive this would be to fix? or if it even can be patched? It seems pretty bad and I can't get new T-top seals until it gets fixed and I'm sick of being wet. Pic1 Pic2 Pic3

    rebuild or new?

    I just had my TC replaced after it went bad and the mechanic that replaced it said he had to use a pry bar to get it off because of all of the metal shavings he found. He said that out of my transmission, came about "a coffee cup full of metal shavings" He said that I am going to eventually...

    possible causes of popping

    I've had a popping/ticking noise coming from my car when it's in gear only coming from my car. I finally narrowed it down to coming from somewhere around the TC and tranny area. I can only hear it when im not moving, but it could be still there when the car goes and I just can't hear it. I...

    Anyone in Manchester today?

    at the car show on main street? Saw 5 or 6 TRs there. None of the owners were around so I didn't get to talk to any of them. There were some clean looking beasts there. Was it anyone from here?

    Guage pod and tape

    Alright, I have one of those double a-pillar guage pods that people complain about all the time (I believe it's lotek) and the double sidded tape doesn't work. I've also tried velcro. In both cases the heat in the car eventually gets to the adheasive on both and it falls. The pod also isn't...

    rear end metal shavings

    when pulling off the cover on my differential, I noticed the magnet had metal shavings on it. Is this normal wear after 15 years or do I have somewhat of a problem on my hands? They were very fine particals. When it was on my hand it literally looked like silver paint. Normal wear and tear...

    anyone else had this problem?

    I've had my knock gauge(casper's) for about a month now and I'm not sure if it's any good. For a while I was just having a problem with it reseting so I installed a on/off switch to the ground. It worked on occasion but now the standby light never comes on at all. It's usually yellow...

    completely stock knock

    Alright I don't have much for you guys to go on as I have no scan tool. But my car is completely stock except for some gauges which don't count anyway. I was testing out my boost gauge and I got some popping up front at about 13psi. What's that all about? I have 94 or 93 octane in the tank...
