Looking for a remote car starter for my 2000 chevy s10 work truck. Just the starter nothing with an alarm as the s10 doesn't have power windows or power locks or alarm I have looked at the Clifford 4203X but they don't come with install instructions as clifford says that you have to take it to their dealer to get it installed. I want something simple that i can install myself

My brother's car (2002 Nissan Xterra 3.3L v6) all stock electrical seems to be having a couple issues regarding its electrical system. For starters, if left sitting for more than 2 days the car has very much trouble starting. It will crank very slowly 1 or 2 times then stop. Then of course starts immediately when cabled to another car. I put a DMM on the battery which rests at around 12.8, pretty normal. Then 14.2 when the car is turned on, also normal. After say 15 minutes...it seems as though the alternator stops giving 14.2 and goes down to 12.6 (under battery resting voltage). That I noticed was an immediate issue. Then I turned the car off and the dmm read 11.4. If t…

Have any of you seen or heard of the Hydrogen on demand stuff, to improve fuel economy? Is it real, or a gimmick? Seems dope, but of course it does to someone like me getting 13mpg. Any solid scientific evidence for these kits?

After comming back from the bahmas i hadnt driven the thing in 11 days. So i hop in my truck put 'er in neutral, crank and wow i was amazed. When you listen to 'er crank up day after day you dont notice the sound as much as after 11 days. She started off with a nice 'Burrrrr!!!" and then settled down to a cool 800RPM deep pur of a 3.0l V6 lion. Sounds so good, As i took off down Price Creek (road in the middle of nowhere with no cops and lots of hills/sweeping twists) i ran through the first 4 gears untill the fule cut at 95 wit joy in every shift when it dropped from 4500 RPM down to 3-3500 rpm where it sounds the best (as it gets just above 4,000 the tone gets raspy…

hey guyz.. i got a big problem, i just put my 26's on my 06 escalade and i have no rubbing at all and good clearance. But my 2 front wheels rub or grind on what it seams like to be the axles when i make left and right turns. its not hitting my fenders or the body of the car, i checked. I have kinda deep dish wheels and it looks like they might be grinding on the back of the face of both rims when i turn. can anybody help or give me advice? if it helps it doesnt do it until i turn about half way left or right help me please?

I found out that the tranny fluid resivior was empty on the accord yesterday. Partly because i had no idea that it was for the tranny. Has anyone ever used the syncromesh ? Hopefully it will help the 3rd gear grind i have.

Unfortunately, I didn't have my camera with me, but here are the pics my buddy took. Most are the hot antique cars and a few of the Porsche Panamera. We also saw the Blues Brothers (replica) police car in the parking lot.

A friend owns a 2006 VW Jetta. It has the factory 6 disc changer head unit that raises/lowers the volume automatically. But, it's messed up. And does it whenever it feels like. It has become real annoying. Is it possible to disable that feature and if so, how?

The Shelby Cobra 427 might be the queen of replicas. But what happens if a german firm decides it wants to build the "ultimate version ?" What happens is the Weineck Cobra 780CUI Limited Edition. 780 cui (cubic inches) mean 12,9 liters of capacity, for this monstruos V8 engine. Torque is 1.760 Nm at 5,600 rpm. Power output is 1,100 hp at 7,000 rpm. The power to weight ratio is 0,9 Kg / hp. Weinbeck doesn't even bother declaring acceleration data from 0-100 km/h. From 0-200 km/h the Ultimate takes only 4.9 seconds, from 0-300 km/h it takes only 10 s !!! Interested ? Better hurry: "Limited Edition" means only 15 will be produced.

Yes, I know CarFax only shows so much, but if anyone has the ability to back check a vin # for historical records, that would be great. Please tell me and I will pm the vin #.

Hey guys... Taking a step back away from working on woofer boxes for a while to finish up a couple of my honda projects.. I've got a 95EX w a D16Z motor Manual trans(that seems to be locked--trans is SUPPOSE to be good but I have no real way of knowing--(just picked the car up havn't torn into it yet.) from what I know the D16z is one of the good motors.. 125hp... Vtec btw I've also got a 97 HX w a D16Y5 motor auto trans... which is a strong running/smooth shifting but the car is totaled. The motor in this car is listed as a vtec motor but isn't tagged that way on the engine... From what I know I believe this is a 109hp motor (or somewhere in that Ballpark) Now what I'…

Wow. This guy really cooks through the circuit: http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/video_gallery...lap_record.html Also, I read for $215 you can pay a professional racer to drive you accross the circuit in a brand new bone stock 500hp M5. I think I might do that the next time I am in Germany! Especially after watching this. edit: fixed (I think--if you miss twice they make you log in)

I have a 2005 Cadillac Escalade and a 15'' BL hooked up to a kicker 1500.1 and when I turn up the music my air bag warning light comes on it wont make my air bag go off will it?

yesterday out of the blue my car door started popping while I open it, not as bad when i shut it. in front the body seam is right up against the door seam, so the door is sitting forward... pushed/bent toward the front of the car. The rear seam is now a big gap. I checked the hinges, they dont look bent or like they have any play. top hinge bottom hinge sorry this camera blows I tried lifting the end of the door, there is no play, and visually the black rubber/plastic bushings look OK... bolts tight....

I am wanting to order HID's on Friday, but am no sure what brand to get. I am pretty set on 4300k-4500k since they are brightest and white. These are two I am looking at. Thought and opinions please. http://www.ddmtuning.com/products/DDM_35W_...Kit-101-85.html http://www.futurevisionhid.com/xp-9004-hb1...-kit-p-159.html

I noticed when testing outside of the car that there is a horrid metal vibration coming from the undercarriage. In case your sigs. are turned off I drive an '07 Scion Tc. My question is what should I do about it? Should I remove it or put some deadener on it like dynamat or fatmat (I refuse to use damplifier pro on outside of car (-: ) It's more then the usual body panel sound it's a high pitch rattle that I can't stand for others to hear. Shizzon, what did you do about this piece? Thanks in advance for replies / ideas.

Ok guys, I'm just looking for suggestions on tinting my taillights and headlights. I have an 08 Ford Escape and looking for a smoked or dark black look, but I want my brake lights to be decently visible. I'm wondering if you guys recommend any brands for pre-cut tints for head and tail lights. Or if you guys recommend any other ways to tint my lights, i'm open for it. Thanks and any suggestions are appreciated!

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnn, its one quick ride!!!!!!
