    Steering issue?

    I think another thing to keep in mind is that i did have my alignment done. And although this steering issue doesn't persist all the time when it does happen it doesn't happen at speeds above 50; the days when its bad it happens at almost every speed; i feel it more at higher because it requires...

    Interior carpet install question

    Master Cylinder leak?!

    Hmm, I felt that when the fluid was low the brake pedal was spongier, but as soon as i refilled it it became stiff as i used to remember it. Besides that Braking is normal. The spongier braking is actually what made me drive around for 20 minutes trying to find somewhere that sells brake fluid...

    Bobyshop pricing question

    For me, Panel alignment, hood, doors, trunk, sanding, paint, stripes, new bumpers, hood locks, new mirrors, all cost me 6k. It's decent quality work; there are a few blemishes here and there but not too noticeable unless you really spend the time to find them. It took about 2-3 months. It was...
