    New Mitsubishi Mirage?

    It better be an LE (Preferably SE/BE) I wouldn't accept an ES in this day and age, buy a higher trim used one They've only been CVT auto for the past two years, so I assume you've driven it and are satisfied with the 3 cylinders NVH? I'm not Nissans biggest fan, but I'd cross shop a Versa or...

    Thinking about Vredestein 🤔

    Dad wants to drive the xB more, and further The garbage Ironmans it came with are balding, and one has sidewall damage when I inadvertently ran it flat 🙁 I was heading into work one morning over the Williamsburg Bridge in the rain, I've never hydroplaned like that before in my life 😲 Nearly 360d...

    Under the Valve Cover... how's it lookin'?

    I'd be a little disappointed 🙁 Is this a Hyundai Beta or Beta II? Year/make/model? Is the PCV system operational?

    What are you working on today?

    Continuing remedial work on the co workers sons '07 Sentra My normal locksmith was closed, so I went in search of another one ~$25 later, I had my two blanks cut 🔐 I thought programming NATS immobilizer would be difficult with needing a BCM pin, but the Autel had me done in 30 seconds, I was...

    Transmax CVT acceptable for a '07 Sentra?

    It came back for other work today I got it up to 180°, added a few oz to get it into the hatched markings Apparently these are sensitive to overheating by overfilling? It's in the hatched area at the hotter end of the temp check range It should be fine 🤔 As fine as an '07 Sentra can be 🙄

    What are you working on today?

    I went through this with my 3.3 Villager It's not you, even the Nissan "Value Advantage" distributor I bought was Chicom garbage Get the cheapest one with a lifetime warranty, and get good at changing them I secured a good Motorcraft/Hitachi reman, but they've been discontinued 😔

    Cruise control broken on every vehicle I drive?

    Only cruise control issues I've had were a vehicle not being equipped with it 🙁 Or a 2011 Avalon that wouldn't resume/reengage because of a faulty stop lamp switch and a missing fuse 🤷‍♂️ Was a head scratcher for sure 🤔 Post in thread 'What are you working on today?'...

    2009 Mazda5 - Cooling system repair

    Fairly common repair on the 2.3/2.5 Duratec I swapped both of mine on the Fusion/Milan for a metal piece as per a TSB for heater core noise I'd put a fresh OEM thermostat if available, Mahle makes it if you don't want to pay dealer pricing Mine looked in much better shape, at ~12 years old...

    The continued decline of the automotive press

    TTAC was my morning read for years Murilee Martin/Phil Greden was one of my favorites GM deathmarch reports, rewinds, DLO Fails 😀 It got so bad around the recession, GM wouldn't supply test cars 😲 There was a notable commenter on literally every article, but I can't remember why 🤔 I should...

    Transmission pulled from my Civic and in the house for rebuild

    While I get the policy, my patience would've run out on the spot Once it's all back together, make sure it goes in for every recall/TSB/reflash or update you can pry out of them by quoting the "customer may comment" line Rubber damper caps, PGM-FI reflash, some Fakra connectors and a head unit...

    Transmax CVT acceptable for a '07 Sentra?

    Just for reference when it returns next week for other work and I recheck the fluid level The dipstick is confusing me, two notches and a hatched area above The hatched area above is what I want to be in the middle of at 122°-176° F ⁉️ I added since this picture, but I just want to be sure I'm...
