I finally did it! I got a AD244 in my '97 Grand Prix with this bracket - http://store.alternatorparts.com/a500-cs130d-ad230-ad237-to-ad244-cs144-conversion-bracket.aspx I researched for a while now, had to shave a little off the alt., but it bolted up and plugged it in and works great. I would post pics but can't figure out how with the new layout. https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/423922_2522769080805_1600682969_3457785_1143037732_n.jpg

The stately Mercedes CLS-Class quasi coupe is one of the German prestige marque's nicest looking vehicles, with a subtle style that seems to emanate style and exclusivity. But that doesn't mean that it can't be transformed into a ballsy, take-no-prisoners GTR replica, courtesy of one of Germany's growing tuning outfits, ART. Based in Nuremburg, ART's new GTR is built upon the CLS model, either the CLS 55 AMG or the CLS 63 AMG, both of which are vehicles that would be more than powerful and agile enough for most drivers. For example, in its original form, the 5.4-litre supercharged CLS 55 AMG generates 350kW of power (469hp) @ 6100rpm and 700Nm of torque @ 2650rpm, which …

Ok guys I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the run time on my 2009 ford escape xlt factory remote starter. It didn't come from the factory with the starter I just had the factory unit put in a couple of months ago and noticed today that it only runs for 10 minutes and it was supposed to be set to the 15 min setting. I called the dealer ship but they can't get me in for 2 weeks. Is it something that I can do? I looked over the book from the starter but it doesn't say how to change the run time.

I found the bag kit i will be purchasing for my 1985 S10 Blazer for when i bag and body drop it. Im just waiting for the invoice from the company which will be getting it $50 cheaper directly through them than through ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Air-Ride-Co...80570QQtcZphoto figured i couldnt pass up that kit for $2000 Shipped because it comes with everything but my upper and lower control arms which are going to cost me around another $730 by themselves. i cant wait to start this project. plan on bag and bodydropping it on either 20s or 22's if its possible. also plan on swapping the little 2.8L v6 with a 350 edelbrock crate engine when the time comes…

I have a black 08 BMW 328i which I want to wash and make as shiny as possible. I have no idea where to start. I enjoy washing my car, but I would like to know if there is a special soap or shiny spray/gel to make it look even better. Any ideas?

As ypu guys saw before I wrecked my car. I need to know the quarter panels (outer sheet metal, from door jam along wheel well to bumper) on a 96 Integra, is it welded on, bolted, what? I gotta replace one (maybe both) the these, the hood, the ft. bumper, and quite possibly the raditor, and maybe fan and belts too. Also ALL NEW TIRES Nankang can never be reached and as such i can't get them to pay shit on this. J

We filmed the entire process of installing a TRD supercharger on an 08 Tundra. From removing the bumper to the dyno results. We're still editing the video but posted a few clips on YouTube. Check it out.. YouTube - TRD Supercharger Install Preview - 2008 Tundra The truck..

What type of security system should I get. I have an 04 escalade. I was thinking about a viper system what do you guys think?

a vid of these wheels and the topic from our sister site yep, someone will get sued when the wreck looking at these things.... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I want to lower my fusion but not sure if it'll work with the system's weight. I don't know anything about suspensions but if the weight of my system is already lowering the rear of my car will a lowering kit lower it even more and cause rubbing or bottoming out? Here's the lowering springs by steeda. http://www.steedafusion.com/parts/steeda-ford-fusion-lowering-springs-555-8306/

I was reading a thread on fullsizechevys.com about these things. NOTHING but great reviews. Everyone seems to love them and with the cheap $40 price tag you cant go wrong. I will probably buy a pair since the burb bounces around like crazy. They arent just for GM's, they will fit any leafspring vehicle as far as i know of. http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?...h.asp&x=28&y=11

Sooo... my hid lights failed because of a cheap relay that came with the set. Put some basic bulbs in and one side doesn't work. I try the fuse, get power at the fuse. I check the socket, get power at the Socket. I move the non working bulb to the other side, it's work. I try replacing socket connector thinking maybe bad corroded tips not making great connection to bulb.. same result... Wth is going on??? Any help would be great...!

I am looking for suggestions on a new vehicel. 01-05. I have been looking at trucks, I want the durability of a truck with the comfort of a suv. I originally wanted a tahoe or yukon, but they are a little out of my price range. I want a ext cab, as it seems the best suited for me. There will be a nice setup in it, I already have a sub and mid and high amp also already have a radio. I haven't yet decided between which brand but would want a half ton, I have no need for anything bigger.

My belt broke today on the van, It looks pretty straight forward to replace it. Anyone have any experience with the sideways mounted 3.4L Chevy motors? I'm used to the forward mounted V8's in my trucks lol

I posted a thread about it on ford-forums, please read it and let me know if you can help. http://www.ford-forums.com/ford-thunderbird/32883-please-help-1995-ford-thunderbird-lx-front-end-damage.html

Looking for something other than plain or Black Oxide coated M8-M10s Class 12.9 that are available up to 110-120mm long. These will be used for Alternator mounting and it's not direct bolt-on so highest strength possible is being applied here.
