    Question on installing catback

    OK. This may sound stupid. The HKS Turbo catback came with a flat flange gasket that goes in between the cat and flange. I took the stock exhaust off and it does not have a flange gasket but it has that crushed WASHER/GASKET in between the cat. Do I have install both or just install the flat...

    Poor Gas Mileage and Funny Smell on Exhaust

    I think your right. Thats why I could not explain the smell. I know it was not fuel. So, that means I have to replace cat now huh? Thanks for the technical advice. Any chance that you might have an idea what caused the cat to get blocked like that. Probably 02 sensor or something else?

    Poor Gas Mileage and Funny Smell on Exhaust

    I have been getting very poor gas mileage on my 91 turbo. Before, I had that massive exhaust leak due to the strip exhaust manifold bolt. Thanks to Jose, they put my car back to life. It did not take long before it had this funny smell and poor gas mileage. The smell is like bad fumes from...

    Good battery drained by car

    First of all it is not my theory. Second, I am just giving support to one of the guys that posted his idea. And in most cases, when the battery keeps on dying while the car is running, it is an alternator issue (maybe unplugged or bad wiring/cable). And i did not say it is the best way, all I...

    Good battery drained by car

    Hey, that is one of the simplest way to check the alternator. Start the car, pull the battery cable off the battery, if the car dies its an alternator issue. Whats wrong with that?
