Automotive and Performance

so me dani and my dog stewie love going swimming in the summer.. we live in a very uniqe spot of texas.. we have a spring river that starts in out town, and we live close to a hand full of lakes, but me and dani both have leather in out cars, and stewies nails are huge not to mention neither one of have a trunk to speak of so its a pain in the ass to take coolers chairs and so forth... so i bought a SUV for about 700 bucks.. it needs some love.. i got it off a collage kid that haddent a clue about cars so.. and ill post of pic of why i bought it trail to the river looking back it needs a few things, main thing the tranny slips a little in fir…

For those who live where it gets stupid cold ... Or for those in Arizona/Texas/Florida that are lazy ... Or for those who got it as a side with their security system ... What unit are you using?

where does everyone get theirs?

on the out post of the alt... it can not be replaced.. but i need it longer...... i have looked around with no results.... i dont want to put a buss bar on..... why you ask.... three runs of 0 stright from the alt to the rear bank.

Limited by your own imagination, i'm trying to find some unique things i can do with this new remote.. I have 3 channels left. One unique thing i have thought about is being able to open garage door with it... But since Viper no longer makes a compatible kit for their newer alarms, no such device exists as far as i know.. Anyone have an idea on this or something else that is possible and unique?

I traded in my 07 ram 2500 hemi and got this! 2011 Ram 3500 CTD 6.7 Cummins, 6 speed manual Chad

im 16 and just got my first car and im looking to put some rims on my 1997 honda accord. i want 18" or 19" inch rims and i want black or chrome. i just want some good brands that i could look in to for my budget . i dont want to spend more than 200 per rim.

what up yall, well i had some car trouble today that came out of nowhere. i was driving to go get some food and when i was accelerating it would seem like my car would jerk forward kinda, or almost feel like it was shifting gears like a manual. mines a automatic. so the check engine light is now on and when i went to get back in my car like 2 hours later it seemed like it was harder for the car to start. Anyone have any idea of what might have happened. it started out of nowhere with the kinda jerking forward type action. all right thanks

Thinking bout taking that dive into the 2 wheel lane. So far best place i've seen to get one is racersedge411.com its in cincinatti, bout an hour from Indy, but they sell so quick you miss all the good deals. no idea how much insurance is gonna cost, which is my biggest concern really.. not trying to pay 1000$ for a year. But thinking i can put it under my dads name and save and just pay him the money lol. Also I dont want to start wt a 600, because i feel like im way to big lol, feels like im riding a scooter. but just an open topic really thoughts, concerns, pics, ect lol

First, before you start reading my thread.. i must let you know: I am NOT looking for your thoughts about how this will make my truck look. The style i am going for is what i like and what i want, if you don't like it, that's okay.. but don't make a post saying you don't like it, thank you fellow SSA members. Now lets get started! My truck, the one that is in my Signature.. its a "show truck" and i am in the market for a lift kit or bagged so i can raise it so i am able to fit 26-28" rims and still have a big enough turning radius for daily driving. THIS: http://www.pimped-ou...ar-pictures.jpg As of now, the truck is lowered a couple inches, not dramatically.. barley no…

Alright So as of the past 2 months I've been having really odd electrical issues. Like my voltagge wouldnt stay up and like my battery would die quite often. So i drive over to a friends and we change my alternator and throw the battery from his blazer in and everything was good. Well I got my system in and I was getting sick of having no bump!!!! So i throw my yellow top back in (biggest POS in my eyes) and everything was fine... Up until last week. I was driving home and i looked down at my factory volt gauge and i noticed it was hovering around 12 volts. So i was like oh sh*#. I push the gas more so the tranny will downshift and get more rotation on the alternator. Doe…

Need to start contacting some companies soon so i can figure out with this new vehicle i have if custom springs are possible or if i'm stickin to to custom air this time around. I really dont wanna do air as i didn't allocate space for that..

i think mine is taking a dump, my system has been weak as i made a topic about the problem 2 weeks ago, now its whining, i bought my current HOA from ebay... just a no name... it worked fine.. but now is not. i emailed OHIO and thay never respond to my emails. i emailed them before and thay never responded thats why i dont have an ohio currently i know iraggi has had problems latly... so who else do we use? i want atleast a 200 amp. no less. and if i can find a daily 300amp t hat would be sweet

Like this much better than the K&N CAI, everyone needs one. Especially with the added weight of audio equipment. I'll have to shoot some better looking final photos sometime.

well my brakes went out and have been out for a while, but the brake fluid things are full of fluid so i know its not a leak in that, so i was told maybe its the master cyclinder or, just bleed the brakes maybe theres an air bubble or air in the lines, its gonna cost alot to fix but i would like to know if any way at possible to check to know for sure whats wrong with it, like how to check for the leaks etc, i cant move the car unless i want to pull the Ebreak the whole time i was wonderin if i should bleed the brakes and then go get a free check up? Or would that be just stupid? idk i just really would like to know yalls opinions Thanks!

Hi So I have my BMW 328i 2008 4-door sedan. I want HIDs but I have no clue about this topic. I dont know ANYTHING about HIDs. I know my local shop wants to charge me $220 for 8000k HIDs installed and 3 year warranty. A friend told me they are ripping me off but since I dont know anything about HIDs, Im not sure who is right. Any help please?

I just ordered these LED Switchbacks For my 01 Limited Edition. I'm hoping they will match my HID's perfectly and will look amazing. I have read you have to use these, LED Load Equalizers, so that you don't get the "Hyper blink". So I picked up a pair of those as well. I'll post fill review, with video soon as I get them and my new HID Fog lights in.

In July i'm heading out to Nashville from NY to an event called Import Alliance. Any general maintenance i should do on the car to prep it for 14 hr 890 mile trip?

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

My mom said Ican buy it for a project car, it's a 1986 Nissan 300ZX, it has 184,000 miles and is a 5 speed. I had to get it towed to my house because it hasn't been ran in such a long time. The guy recommended I change the fluids, drain the tank, do a tune up and replcae the belt. The engine is a VG30E V6 motor. http://grannys.tripod.com/2N6VG30.html at the bottom are the specs I believe I believe it would be a bit harder to start a car that has been sitting for a period of 3-4 years, this is a type of thread, but thanks for your help! give me some support for a new project!

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"

so among the many things that can and will go wrong(i.e. wife and son in hospital sick, daughter with my maw maw sick, a damn hurricane) , my car is crapping out. the mechanic diagnosed it with a bad throttle body. 900 from dealer, 730 on internet, and a whopping $24 from a junkyard...if i can find one; no luck so far. the part that troubles me is that in additon to this problem, the mechanic tells me he concerend about my engine. i have 93,000 miles and he said the engine is wearing out as if has double or triple that. i bought the car in September of 05 as a demo with 27,000 on it. i can attest that in the last seven years, the car has been regularly maintained and serv…
