Automotive and Performance

I have bought a Freeway Blaster for my car. Figured it would be fun to have a little louder horn. Anyway. I cannot for the life of me find the horn under the hood so I can switch it out with the Freeway Blaster. I looked along the walls of the engine compartment, mostly around the battery since I figured thats where it would be. I must be as blind as a bat. So if you happen to know off hand where it is or where online I could go to find out I would be very greateful. Thanks ~MadroX

I am needing some strobe lights for inside my car. I found some on jcwhitney.com that flash at 120x a minute. Are there any strobe lights that flash faster than that. I cant find any on the net so any help would be appreciated. ~MadroX

Okay guys as you know I am prolly picking up some new wheels here very soon. I am thinking between 7500 and 11,000 down. I don't want a vehicle over say 24,000 sticker price. Wouldn't mind going used, I just want something rleiable and fun to drive. As of right now its between a brand new dodge Nitro and a used '07 Ford Explorer. I really want to stay in the SUV market cause the Formula I was looking at is just a tad more rust than I want, and for me its either big or fast. Lemme hear some opinions at to what to test drive/buy. J

not here yet, hopefully in 3 weeks or so. but i ordered them (about a month turn around time) Anella AN540's, all black, 18" toyo proxes FZ4 215/35/18s http://superbuytires.com/Anella/AN%20540 gonna black out all the chrome accents on the mini (unless i put the rims on and i like how it looks with the chrome...) and im gonna get the MINI center cap to cover over the Anella center cap logo. 600 shipped for brand new rims and brand new toyo proxes....not bad

I found this alarm, it has some good features on it for a great price. Has anyone heard anything bad,good, or indifferent about them? http://www.commandocaralarms.com/itemdetai...?ProductID=1410

it arrived today! :D 1967 Chevrolet Camaro going to try to start it this weekend

Ok, I read the sticky... and I'll be searching google this week as well. My truck will be out of paint this week. I thought I'd stop by here first and get everybody's advice before I scour the net... What are the do's and don'ts? I'm a n00bx for exterior car care. My truck was peeling/cracking bad b/c of the horrible 1992 Dodge Stock paintjob. So, how long before I really work on it... and what should I do first? Thanks! nG

http://www.autotrader.com/fyc/vdp.jsp?car_...&cardist=89 The girl likes this car. It's no ///M series but it'll do for her. Her uncle is fronting her a lot of cash towards a new car for a graduation present. She needs/wants something with high gas mileage that is comfortable, reliable, and relatively cheap to fix when/if needed. Her uncle wants something that is decently quick (compared to her 4cyl '89 Camry) and that is rear wheel drive though he is open to quick FWD cars. I want something with decent miles. This is getting on the high side for me but what can I say, we've been on the hunt for 2 months and this is one of the few that is meeting all criteria. The carf…

bought a new ride a few days ago, have a ton of mod's planned for it. 2003 Mustang GT convertible Current mods are: Flowmaster Exhaust '03 Cobra 17"s Shiftkit K&N Cold air kit

So after doing extensive research and a good number of Saturdays driving to go see different cars, yesterday something happened. Leading up to it, our favorite was the E320, a rock solid car, loads of safety features, good performance and the '96 - 2002 is one of the best ratted and most reliable used cars PERIOD. But the problem is that this car is to replace Amanda's 2 door civic, and I took her to test drive a few good examples of 99's or newer E320's. She felt intimidated by them, was nervous to drive them and struggled at first to park one. So we checked out the c230 Kompressor, it was too small for what we wanted and does not have as good a track record as the E…

can NOT wait till this car comes out. i'm buying one hopefully, what you think of this car? it's going into production next year and will be available as an 2008 model check out this vid of it http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Featu...rticleId=115459

i know denim likes the MB stuff and this is quite nice looking for a c class. http://www.leftlanenews.com/brabus-mercede....html#more-4914

We now have the............yea you know I have no words for this so just check it out. The RIMS J

Looking at buying my buddies 1988 (if I remember right) Pontiac Firebird Formula. 5.0 Multi Port Fuel Injected. Has Flowmasters from the headers back dual exhuast, and some chips........ Its red with pretty damn nice paint. Minimal underbody rust. Sound worth about 2500?? Has (again if I remember right) 114K on it. J

I have a buddy here at work that wants to re-paint his wifeys car. He is wanting to know the right steps and preperation and type of paint and so on. As I am not a skilled painter, I thought I would ask the crew. Thanks

The Saturn Sky and Pontiac Solstice...........Test drove a stock Sky. They are going to have a supercharged "redline" edition soon. Even for stock I thought it moved rather well. 177 horses and the redline wil have 260, for only 3G more but have better gas milage, and functional special air induction (i foget the exact name). anyways can i get everyone's thoughts on these things??? J

And I am extremely displeased at my topic being locked over something people wont even listen to me on and think I am a complete moron. Listen, Google, and then reply. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Warpe...G=Google+Search http://www.stoptech.com/tech_info/wp_warped_brakedisk.shtml you can hit "I'm Feeling Luckey" and get that. Warping and Uneven ware are two entirely different things. If I sand half of a 2x4 does that make it warped? no.

First question/problem: As of late my truck's front right break has been making an odd sound when breaking and coasting at a low speed. It isn

nice turbo beemer up in this one... try this? wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

It seems the Mercedes CLS can be either a coupe or sedan, depending on what seems most appropriate at any given moment. To Mercedes, it's a cool coupe. To German's Brabus, it's a sedan. Why? Because the tuner's CLS-based Brabus Rocket hit a speed of 227 mph (362.4 km/h) this week, making it the fastest "sedan" in the world. The car has a twin-turbo V12 engine from the latest Mercedes 600 models, pushed to an incredible 730 horsepower. The car also offers the fastest acceleration for any "sedan"

http://videos.streetfire.net/category/Niss...0E6FFC85226.htm all of these cars are outstanding

Some pics of cars I've seen lately J

soem pretty nice cars in this read... Winding Road? enjoy! and if you guys aren't interested in this, let me know, i'll quit posting links... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I was all like Yay! Cheap Xenon bulbs on eBay, and Elderado is just like... No, nothing good. (though I didnt ask about everything) So, is there anything even worth buying on eBay? http://search.ebay.com/9004_W0QQbsZSearchQ...gZ1QQsofocusZbs If not, ill go to the auto shop and get them, its just they are cheap here. So any reputable brands? Good bulbs, anything? Because he was telling me how they can explode in side your cover and I really dont want to deal with that, so if I risk that with every brand on there, ill just go to the store.
