Last time i heard that noise was when the number 4 rod bearing went out on my 99 civic. Definitely has the same sound as a bottom end bearing noise.

SCREW UTI. And thats straight from someone that went there. That place freaking sucks donkey balls. The instructors are all former techs that for the most part couldn't hack it in the field. I learned more in high school autoshop than i learned at that school. Waste of money and its over 30K...

I'll tell you right now, that any vent to atmosphere blow off valve is illegal in CA. Any modification to the intake system after the AFM needs a CARB number to be legal. You are S.O.L. on the downpipe, since its currently illegal to replace or remove a good catalytic converter. If you replace...

damn that was painful to listen to.

sounds to me like you put too much angle on your driveline, and now your carrier bearing is done for, take it to a shop and have them figure out what you did wrong to cause that issue and replace that carrier bearing. hopefully you didnt mess up the u-joints on the driveshafts when you did that...

you can check if the starter motor is still good by jumping the two terminals on the solenoid with a screw driver, that will also work to start your car, just make sure that the car is neutral when you do this (i started my 280z like this quite a few times because the solenoid would stick in...

Thats definitely a typo. if you look at his other items for sale, he has a tps for an ae86 for sale for 39.99.

dude, i've had my share of bad experiences with bitchy waitresses. worst one was 1am at a dennys with my buddy. we had just finished slamming out a clutch job on a 94 corolla and were delirious from brake cleaner fumes and tired since we had worked at the dealership until 5pm before doing that...

im not 100% sure on that, but ill double check with the parts counter guy at work tomorrow, its been kind of hit and miss with getting parts alone or as an assembly for my car from Toyota. Ill either post on here or PM you tomorrow when i find out.

about 50 percent of the cars that i have seen with a carbonfiber or fiberglass hood on it being used as a DD with nothing keeping secure other than the stock hood latch begin to flex and crack within a year. Buddy had a VIS hood on his GTI and after about 9 months of driving it it started...

ok. the factory alarm doesnt have a shock sensor. it is only activated by the doors being opened or the hood or liftgate being opened without unlocking the car first. Yes it did have it when you bought it. they all had it from the factory. the security light is blinking because the alarm...

my suggestion is to have the radiator rodded out, or replace it with an aluminum 2 or 3 row radiator. I used to have cooling system issues with mine, turns out the radiator was pretty scaled up on the inside and many of the tubes in the radiator were to plugged for it to flow properly. I...

how recent? cuz i saw his messages last month but havent been paying too much attention to the random threads on SCS

I dont think he is trying to sell them, i think he just wants to know if they are worth anything or not. Post some pics up. Have you tried going to a store that deals with collectibles and see if they can tell you or maybe find a catalog and see what they are selling for? I doubt someone on...

definitely digging the vents. might look into something like that on mine.
