    DECELERATION - Clutch ENGAGED or NOT?

    Can I ask how you would handle a particular situation? Lets say you are coming to an intersection and the light turns red leaving you plenty of time to stop. Will you clutch in, shift to N and clutch out while applying the brake coming to a stop? Will you downshift and speed/gear match while...

    Plastic headlight housings(mecury sable)

    After posting I started to read up more about the lenses and oxidizing. It does seem most lenses use a top UV protectant layer that gets burned away over time(polishing helps remove it too). Some lenses look like they use a UV protectant all the way through, though it's not common. The high end...

    Plastic headlight housings(mecury sable)

    So something like this should help then? Is there a particular brand to look for, I've never used any type of UV protectant on clear plastics before.

    Plastic headlight housings(mecury sable)

    Ok, my mom has a 99 sable and the plastic headlight lenses are horrible. She brought it to me like a year ago and I used one of those meguiars restore kits and it turned out great. The lens was so bad you couldn't see through it and after the kit it looked near new. I just got a look at the...

    Compression problem

    Seafoam has been all the rage on a jeep forum I go to for years now. Any problem you have they swear a can of sea foam will fix it. The smoke lets you know that it's working.

    ES300 foglight question

    Yea that's what I was hoping that they use just normal H3 bulbs I can get cheap. Are the bulbs colored or just plain clear bulbs too? I should just wait until I pull them out but I did see online some place that sells yellow H3 bulbs.

    ES300 foglight question

    Ok I have a set of foglights from an es300 that I bought off a member here. I love the lights but I think they are a bit dim and might need new bulbs. The problem being I have no idea what type of bulb they take or what car they came off. Googling has led me no where... I'm hoping they just are...

    Painted or Unpainted Moldings?

    It comes down to the individual car for me, some look great with painted and some look horrible with painted. I think over all they look better unpainted though.

    Skid Plate

    Speaking of the under cover, I just picked up a used one for 30 bucks in brand new condition. I was wondering if anyone knows the hardware needed to mount it? Also, I'm worried about it ripping off as so many seem to do. Is the best way to prevent the bolt holes from tearing is adding washers...

    I wanna do a push button start

    That's what I was thinking, just because you crash a bike doesn't mean people are gonna notice or come running. Having an alarm sound is a great idea.

    Brake master cyl rebuild kit question

    Way back when I had a bad MC(and didn't trust myself with working on the brakes at the time) I called the repair shops and they were quoting me like $300 or more for the part, not just one but like 3 shops. I went to napa and bought it there for the above prices and found a shop to put it in for...
