    FMIC Smog legal in CA???

    If you have a major manufacturer's IC, go to the California State Air Research Board (CARB) website and down load an Executive Order saying your IC is smog legal. http://www.arb.ca.gov/msprog/aftermkt/devices/amquery.php Keep this in your glove box. The IC is part of the air intake...

    Just be glad that your ignition lock still works. My Corolla key works on my Supra ignition, as I found out by mistake one day.

    Not Related To Cars, But How Can You Help Get Rid Of Some Graininess?

    If its for a year book, then the pictures will not need to be of high quality, unless its a full color cover or page. If you're viewing them as a full screen shot, and its going to be a 4 X 6 picture in the year book, you won't notice a little grain or poor sharpness. Try viewing the picture...

    No Reverse Lights!!!

    On my NA>T rebuild, the back up light switch wire from the W58 tranny to the car wire harness was not connected because the wire was cut on the ECU harness. I didn't notice it until one day backing up at night I didn't see my reverse lights go on. So I just crimp spliced it. So I'd check to...

    THought about getting this camera, wonderin if anyone had a review

    You need to look for a camera thats going to satisfy your needs. Obviously the more you pay the more you get. In the point and shoot cameras, you need to decide if: 1. You need one that is compact and can fit in your pocket (a big plus). The smaller they are the more expensive they are, the...

    Suspension Advice?

    I've got Tokico Illumina TEMS struts with stock springs. They are better than stock. But other than the lights on the dash, I don't see what the big deal about TEMS is. I always have the TEMS set on sport. For me, having on-the-fly adjustability is a waste. So I'm ditching the TEMS. I've...

    WTF moment on freeway, help car dies!

    My NA died on the freeway within a week after the warranty ran out. It wouldn't start. It got towed to a dealer. The dealer replaced the entire distrubuter for free. But your problem sounds like it could be the ignitor. My wife's Cressida died when at a stop light. It started about an hour...

    Anybody Good With Computers?

    I'm not saying he's dumb. But if you're using MS Windows Media Player that was included with your Windows operating system, probably XP or at least a later operating system, which sounds like he is, then you shouldn't have a problem playing standard DVDs in our region. Unless of course there...

    I'm applying to UC's.......

    Cal Tech is considered one of the best technical/science schools in the country. The other is MIT. You have to be brilliant to compete at Cal Tech. That's setting your sights very high. If you can get in and graduate, you will have no problem getting a job. Stanford is a JC compare to Cal...

    Anybody Good With Computers?

    I take it that when you say all of your other videos are playing that means video that you have downloaded. Not video played on the DVD player? And when you say you don't have audio, does this mean at the head phone outlet or sound card? If so have you checked your audio settings. The DVD...

    Hi everyone! SoCal

    Are you in the A & P school there? I've been to the new aviation building this year with a co-worker. We were looking for an old scrapped DC-9 wing that the Pacific Coast (or what ever its called) LBCC campus had. I used to go past the stadium lot all the time a couple of years ago when...

    Hi everyone! SoCal

    Bad Brian and Yurikaze, you guys are kinda close. I work off the LB airport, Lakewood and Carson. I've got a friend that lives near the corner of Los Coyotes and Palo Verde. He used to live in an apartment on Bellflower and Atherton.
