    Rear Wheels Don't Need To Be Balanced - Oh Really?

    It's hard to be picky when it comes to buying used tires. Finding the perfect size with good tread is hard work. I think I stopped by 5 places and bought fronts from one place and rears from another. Once I get my growing list of fixes out of the way, I'll be getting exactly what I want all...

    Rear Wheels Don't Need To Be Balanced - Oh Really?

    That's what I thought. What a dope. I'll have it at a real tire place before I get to work in the morning. Thanks guys.

    Rear Wheels Don't Need To Be Balanced - Oh Really?

    I know some of you warned against even considering used tires, but it's what my budget can take right now. Anyway, I bought a pair of tires for the rear from a used tire place - very clean and friendly. I paid a grand total of $64 for the mounted 245-45ZR-17's and was about to leave when I...

    $425 For Rebuilt Head

    I think I ended paying around $225 to have my heat resurfaced and checked for any cracks plus installing new valve seals. Not what I would call a full rebuild, though. Jazzsaxman - the costs got to me too. Three weeks of my car out of commission and $700 - $800 by the time I bought gasket...

    Different Windshield Wipers?

    I sanded every black metal surface of my rear wiper arm and repainted it. Looks great, and one of these days I'm going to do the same with my windshield wipers. It's free, too. Well, minus a little spray paint and a bit of time.

    anyone want some ugly work wheels?

    I agree. I've never thought much about 3 spokes - especially off the Saab's - but this is definitely 3 spokes done right.

    MOUSE!

    Peanut butter FTW on standard traps, but when it comes right down to it, just poison the shit of out 'em! A bunch of years ago when I moved into a place in the country that had a couple of mice already living there that I couldn't kill with traps of any kind. Some poison and a week later I was...

    $425 For Rebuilt Head

    Just curious which shop gave you that price, since we're local and I had head work done myself a few months ago? If you go ahead with it and they do good work I'll want to keep their name in my back pocket for later on in case I need it. (OMG hopefully not...)

    Which is rear KS? KNK1 or KNK2?

    I'm working on my knock sensor rewire and need a quick answer: On the ECU, is the KNK1 or KNK2 terminal for the rear knock sensor? Thanks.

    Stupid question?

    When in doubt, turn to Google. Every time I get ready to ask about an acronym, google keeps me from asking the stupid sounding question. :icon_bigg

    What's wrong with my drivetrain?

    Might want to search the forum regarding the 1 piece driveshafts. There is definite concern by quite a few here that harmonic vibration can be more of a problem with a 1 piece. Nothing that I can really comment on myself, but something that has been a point of discussion. As long as the...

    What's wrong with my drivetrain?

    They do, and compare the prices: Toyota dealership nearby: $314, Autozone: $39.99 Be sure to read the following post, because apparently a few minor modifications need to be made in order to use a bearing from an auto parts store...

    What's wrong with my drivetrain?

    Well I thought I had ruled out rotors because it won't be there at all and then it will show up as I accelerate, shutter slightly as I drive and get really bad under braking. Then it will go away as quickly as it came. Plus, I can't seem to pin point which wheel it would be coming from (the...

    What's wrong with my drivetrain?

    Cwapface - can you keep us posted on what the shop ends up charging? I have an intermittant vibration that usually shows up at speeds over 40 mph, might last 10 minutes and gets much worse under braking. I thought I had gotten rid of it when I replaced my rear struts,but it's back as of...

    Best Pick up lines

    "You like apples?" "Yes" "How 'bout I fuck you up the ass? How you like them apples?" I don't know anybody who's had the guts to try this one, but if anybody wants to give it a go, I'd like to hear how it works out for you.
