Automotive and Performance

im messing more and more with limos.... and my new challenge is solenoid wiring... i have never been into solenoids but now it seems i must! ill take pics if you guys think you can help.

I checked all the pressure in the tires of the 3 vehicles that are at my house Not a single one was at the right PSI. Some 20lbs over, some 10lbs under. Its crazy how much air you can loose in your tires in a matter of months. And if you just fill them up when they are low use a pressure gauge, eyeballing and using the built in gauge from the has station are not accurate. Go buy one, they arent that expensive I know it sounds lame but if kept neglected ( like what i did) you can really kill your mileage and get some nice uneven tire wear.

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.

So, as this is only my second car, and I haven't managed to roll this one yet, I've had enough time to start needing to maintain my truck lol. I'm about to order new rear shocks tomorrow since my rear left is the lowest point on the car, like two or three inches below the front left and rear right, and want to know if any of you guys here who are significantly more mechanically inclined than myself, can you recommend me any better than these for the price? http://m.autoanything.com/suspension-systems/61A2642A0A0.aspx

my car is kinda jacked up to put HID's in.. my head lights are huge and have bolted on covers to access bulbs for changing.. but you must remove the entire light structure and there is a1 huge block plug for all the wires.. confusing i know. i was going to drill holes for my wires and mount my ballast outside and what not.. but i was talking to a guy on youtube and he said he mounted his ballets inside the headlight structure ... there is room.. but my thoughts were how hot do the ballast get? i have never touched them to find out.. i have the small ones,. made by Xentec

i have a ford 4.6 and it has very poor belt wrap, mechman used to make a double idler pulley set up.. but stoped once the 4.6 guy left to go work for someone else..... heres what i want.... but if i cant get one.. then ill try to make somthing of my own.. does any one know where i can get small idler pulleys like in this pic below? http://a1.ec-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/68/765fbe39898b6bbde8ce5fbc7ed66f3a/l.jpg

Unless this is old news, ooops but is still nice to know- This is specifically for Californians and if it gets very popular it will go completely national then international. A Hybrid... that will be put on the market as planned by the end of this year... with an expected certified MPG rating(this is an all electric so they must be comparing gas to hours of power maybe?) of 330 MPG! As of right now, they are trying to get there... there last known spec was at 230 MPG which is ungodly incredible. Price tag - under $30K Go ahead and real full article and all pages throughout about the Aptera. You will see that they also take great pride in safety features as well so don't…

ok its a 99 grand am.. with the 2.4. about a week ago when starting it would hesitate only on start up.. then it would be fine... yesterday it started to hesitate when you take of from a stand still... bad! boging down and hesataing.. but if you keep your foot in it and feather it.. once it gets going past 5 miles an hour.. it runs perfect..!!! idles fine and drive down the hwy fine! but when you try to get going from a stand still it bogs and back fires thru the intake... i have changed the fuel filter, the air filter the air charge sensor, the TPS and cleaned the throdle body, im lost at this point. few month back i replaced the plugs boots and intake ga…

Heres my high/low beam kit i got in today. Bulbs are 6000K and i got the 50W ballasts. Im suprised at how bright these things are! They blow my old sylvania silverstar ultra's out of the water and they were very easy to install! And Il make sure to point anybody who's looking for hid's to futurevision. Anyways heres some pics of the install and a vid of them warming up.(camera does no justice) got these at futurevisionhid.com btw Testin them out before i put everything back together.

Just looking for a little input from people who have used or know about these certain model tires. Vehicle is the little Mazda P5. 2700lbs soaking wet, will gain a few when I finally get around to the audio. Size is 195/50/16. Currently, I am doing a lot of high way miles, much of it stop and go. No plans to track the car in the near future. Bad weather is prevalent in this area of course, but not super bad. Biggest needs are all around traction, braking, durability and light weight for the MPG'z. Price is a factor, as I have something coming that will hit me quite hard $$$ wise so I cannot get the Michelins I would like to get. Currently, only one tire is in sho…

I have actually had these for almost 2 months, just now getting around to posting. I actually got a helva deal off Craigslist. And when I mean a helva deal, I mean if I would of bought them new, I basically bought one rim/tire and got three free. They are in good shape considering the price. The rims has a few flaws, but nothing major. Tires seem to have very little wear, I'd say less than 5000 miles. They are 20"x10" BMF S.O.T.A rims and 37x13.5R20 Super Swamper M16 tires. Which initially this combo wasn't my first choice when I had been looking for new rims/tires. But now that I have them, I like them better than what I wanted originally. So it worked out well. Now on…

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

So after a couple months I finally got my George Balias muffler and elbow pipe for my 2010 Buell xb12ss. Installation was anything but a breeze. But that wasn't GB's fault, more so the fact that the oil filter was in the way of me disconnecting a mounting bracket for the original exhaust. ended up having to just sawing it off! So that was hard, especially because we didn't have power... but other than that the thing bolted right up!!! definately weighs less than stock, somewhere near 1/2 original muffler weight i would say. The look isn't too aftermarket, it actually looks like to me that it actually might belong on the bike. Picture time!! Note: The GB exhaust doesn't ut…
