    Do I need a new fuel tank?

    So few of years ago I replaced the pump and found the sending unit in pieces. I put it back together and it worked fine for next couple of years. Last year the gauge went off the scale again, so I dropped the tank and fixed the sending unit again. Few months ago the gauge went ballistic...

    WTF is wrong with this thing?! Fuel pump/relay related

    I was doing about 20-30 mph and the car just died. Right away I listened to see if the fuel pump is priming, nothing. I got the car home couple of days later and now it's in the driveway with me pulling my hair out. I searched to see what the problem could be and read that I can trick the...

    For Your Viewing Pleasure...

    I know it's not the best quality and lighting, but enjoy for what it's worth. The Shelby looks sick when you're standing next to it, I think it's called Kona Blue. The GT is dropped, has exhaust, wheels (obviously), it's supercharged and has few other small goodies.

    Wife's car dies at idle

    It's a 1999 Mitsubushi Galant, 4 cyl. She drove it to work today and it stalled at light. She was able to start it again but hat to keep it at about 1200 rpm. I got there to pick her up and it was doing the same thing when it was cold too. I drove it home and it stopped doing it. The car would...

    Which thermostat for my needs?

    OK, I live in SoCal and don't use my car all that much. My radiator finally started leaking all over and I'm replacing the rad, upper and lower hoses and thermostat. Which one should I use? BTW, I scored new 3 row radiator for 80 bucks! Thanks in advance, Phil.

    Can Someone Photochop This For Me? (Easy)

    Ok, I think it's pretty easy but when it comes to chopping I don't have the program and probably wouldn't know what to do anyways. So, can someone put both of the logos on my car, just wanted to see what it would look like, and no I'm not going to do that for real. I think the top one would be...

    Check out this fugging tool, another 400hp claim

    http://sandiego.craigslist.org/car/151135515.html OK, so here is his ad, claiming some nubers from outer space. I guess those flames and 17's really add up as far as hp goes. So here is what I wrote him: "hey, what exactly did you put in that car to make it crank out 400hp? they came from...

    Coolest 12 year old kid I ever met.

    So with my regular job being very slow I started working at a local tire shop as a salesman, but today I was helping out guys in the shop. I had my car's front jacked up in front of the shop so I could measure the rotors and this kid comes around and starts complementing my car. He says how he...

    Killer Wheel Deal! Already on the STANG pix!

    I know ton of people have them but I got to show off as well. Got them on ebay for $274, slightly used, 17x9, in town so no shipping fees. Got the brand new BF Goodrich G Force T/A 245/45/17 all around from work, FREEBIE! I had another set of tires for free from work as well, Dunlop D9000...

    Need new brakes all around, suggestions please

    OK, I'm on the budget here. Ultimately I'd like to get 5 lug conversion with discs in the rear, but I don't have time or money right now. So I'm either looking for a mild aftermarket upgrade, or cheapest way possible, keep in mind that I work in a tire shop and we get a pretty good discout on...

    Rim & Tire Question

    I just got a set of 17x9 Cobra R's and wanted to know if I put 225 tires in the front, will it look goofy or do I need 235? Is anyone running a similar combo? Thanks, Phil

    Oxygen sensors, probably a dumb question

    So how do I know if I need them and what improvement can I expect after changing them? I got 145K on the car, changed them once but only because they came with used BBK catted h-pipe that I got on ebay. I cleaned them once as well with a wire brush and it seemed like it made the engine light go...

    What do you think of this kit?

    Ok, this seems like pretty affordable conversion, it's from www.50resto.com and it's $400, but will rims like bullitt and '99 GT and up work with it? Anyone had any experience with it? thanks, phil

    High Mileage Motor Oil?

    Question is: Are those high milage motor oils like Valvoline MaxLife for cars with 75k and up, Quaker State and Castrol, actually worth it? I mean, do they really make the difference or is it just a sales pitch? I have 144K on my car, oil change is due pretty much tomorrow and I'm just...
