Some pics of cars I've seen lately J

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....

Does anyone kno where to get door panels? I have a 2000 GMC Jimmy. I need driver front. It is the dark grey almost black color interior. Thanks

anyone know of any good free online ones? nitto1320 sucks... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Advantages of front wheel drive * Interior space: Since the powertrain is a single unit contained in the engine compartment of the vehicle, there is no need to devote interior space for a driveshaft tunnel or rear differential, increasing the volume available for passengers and cargo. * Cost: Fewer components overall * Weight: Fewer components mean lower weight * Fuel economy: Lower weight means better gasoline mileage * Improved drivetrain efficiency: the direct connection between engine and transaxle reduce the mass and mechanical inertia of the drivetrain compared to a rear-wheel drive vehicle with a similar engine and transmission, allowing greater fuel economy. * Ass…

well yesterday i spend most of the day on putting the shackles so after i finally install both of them i see that im getting the 2" drop on one side and the other side is 1" or less. Any of you guys have done this before ??? can some one help me oh and the truck is a chevy silverado 97.

hi, i recently installed some subs in my car about 2 months ago with absolutely no problem. now all the sudden my ecu fuse keeps blowing. i have a 2001 hyundai accent 1.5l. i installed : iraggi 200a alt kinetic 1400 in the back (still got original in the front) 0ga wiring memphis 4kw 2-re sx 18's i've been reading online and some have suggested faulty oem wiring and other various conponents (sensors, injectors, ect..). so far what i've seen in my car is this. about a week ago i was driving back to work from lunch (18's bangin') and when i took a left turn the car died and would not start back up(starter turns over but engine won't run). i pulled over and within about 15 …

I don't know what the problem is, i'm just thinking it's ignition based. Bout 45 days ago, i got in my car and noticed the clock was reset. reset meaning battery disconnected and reconnected... when this happens it will start off at 1:00. I didn't know why it did that so i forgot about it. 1 Week later, it did it again.. but this time i was in the car when it did it. It did it WHILE i was starting the car. Things installed in the car currently- Viper alarm with immobilizer bypass and remote start. 200A solenoid (ignition turn on wire tapped off of ignition wire from radio). When it did it when i was in it, i could hear the solenoid in the back rapidly for that 1sec switch…

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…

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

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?

OK so it isnt a NASCAR truck but it feels brand new, has a better pep in its step, runs a lil smoother, takes off a lil easier, feels like its trying to pull in 3rd gear . Sure it isnt by the seat of your pants faster...but i can feel the extra power. and is sounds hella good too Before (it starts out 5ft away form the tail pipe and moves to the interior) http://media.putfile.com/VOICE00121 and after (starts with the engine running and cuts, starts up agian and moves to the interior) http://media.putfile.com/VOICE00256 Even if i had paid the $240 it was well worth the money, i got it installed in less than 2hrs and the biggest PITA was getting the stock exaust off of the …

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.

As Of 10 Minutes Ago, We Have Dropped The Trailer With Truck On In The Front Yard, As Of Daylight, There Will Be Pics. My Dad Bought This Truck When He Was 14. It Was In Beautiful Shape Then. Buick Wildcat 430-4 Motor. (Bad MF'er) He Sold It When He Was 16. He's Regretted It Ever Since. My Dad Was Born In 1964 So You Can Figure For Yourselves How Long This Has Been. And As Fate Would Have It, He Drove By A '55 Apache At Dean's House For Sale. (Old Hotrodder Stuck In The 50's, Severely. Hair And All.) He Looked At It, Asked Dean Some Questions On It, And Then He Saw What Made This Truck Unique, What Was His Stamp On It, He Knew It Was His. He Had '67 Impala Taillights In I…

Well here is my new baby. We picked it up Thursday afternoon from the local dealership. Below are pics. J

New coils with a small spacer up front on Bilstien 5100 shocks. Add a Leaf in the rear, again with 5100's. Added a new Tom Woods one piece drive shaft. Supposed to be 3 inches taller at the suspension, but it is taller than that all around. Overall ride is better than stock. Woot!

What have you used, what did you like about them, what didn't you like about them, how much were they, where did you buy them, all that stuff. Road I'm going to be using is going to have a ton of snow and is constantly foggy both morning and night (it's right near the river). You know me, I'll sacrifice a bit of performance for price. I'm not going to shell out big bucks for something that's just going to get smashed by rocks anyway. And I flat out don't give a fudge if "your buddy" has such and such of fog light and he thinks they are the best thing in the world but you think they suck and are for ricers. Don't even bother commenting. It's a different story when you'r…

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 …
