    Good LED backup lights

    Most of those links can change as the seller or Amazon changes the amazon stock number aka ASIN.. searching for auxito 921 it still comes up.. $14 for 2 921 type bulbs. I ordered something similar from another "no-name" been working for a long time.. no issues, and VERY bright! For me...

    Toyota Corolla Spark Plugs

    ahh.. makes sense, glad it worked out well! So how's it running now with the new plugs? Notice any difference? After I recently replaced the plugs on my friends (new to them) 16 Mazda CX-5, it was running more quiet and the fuel economy then jumped up about 2-3 mpgs. They had been in...

    Bought a Cheap Accord

    ok sounds good, not trying to tell you what to do, but good to know you're aware of really bad glass installers, didn't want them to screw up what might be ok. Maybe I should learn how to install glass?! Then I wouldn't have to worry!! :cool: thanks for the update about the power steering...

    Toyota Corolla Spark Plugs

    Thanks for the update.. and nice to save $300 for something that wasn't that complicated.. when you removed the plugs did they make that crack and then eek-eek sound as they came out? I know you were concerned about them being easy to remove after being in there that long.

    Toyota Corolla Spark Plugs

    Excellent recommendation of making sure nothing is in the spark plug tube! Your post reminded me of what I do, I usually use a long straw and a can of compressed air (without tilting the can and getting refrigerant out instead of air). That definitely is a must just to make sure nothing is...

    Powered Anode Rod for Water Heater-- the real deal or snake oil?

    yes these powered anodes do actually work. My friend had a new hot water tank installed, within a couple of months the water coming out (hot) smelled pretty bad. Had a powered anode installed, within about 24 hours the smell was gone, never came back. So yup, they do work, not snake oil at...

    Toyota Corolla Spark Plugs

    I do have a set of thin-walled spark plug sockets from Performance Tool that I got from Amazon. Comparing the pictures with the Harbor Freight ones you linked to they do look the same. About the 14mm spark plug socket size, I have seen the newer plugs are going to this size and the older is...

    Bought a Cheap Accord

    about the glass, the ceraglass looks like it did make an improvement. One thing that always upsets me was with the 96 Civic and I mention it because of being similar to your 97 accord.. That when the glass shop replaced the windshield they never made sure to paint the gouging they did to the...

    Mazda Filter

    It's an interesting argument that you're presenting.. and what is very interesting is none of those aftermarket companies are the designers/engineers for that engine. To rely on the "aftermarket" expertise is a fools errand. That's like saying I should rely on mann/hummel's advice for quality...

    Mazda Filter

    and you never know what the engineers DID find that caused them to leave it out. And wouldn't it be something that they did find flow issues that they didn't like. Would that' be something to learn that.. always pays to keep an open mind

    Mazda Filter

    oh ya definitely looked odd when I first saw one. I was like "did someone forget something?" lol.. What's cool about not having one is I can look into the pleats without cutting it apart, seeing how uniform they are. Glad you got another filter and going to use this one. You can definitely...

    Oh ya that slow death as he milked out all the money.. was sad to watch. But hey greed always goes before a fall. And be sure your sin will find you out, it's going to come back around. It always does. The good part, I know I've said it as have you. This time we know who not to give our...

    Owner denied warranty for being outside OCI by 600 miles and short tripping.

    I completely agree! (y) Even people on that Reddit thread are calling out this troll for what they are.. A random post is supposed to be believed? Just like when people come on this forum, haven't posted before and have some tabloid sensational claim about an oil filter such as Premium Guard...

    I think that's awesome to put on the garage wall. What not to buy! When I put up that original list of what was owned by this private group, I don't remember beck/arnley being part of it. Now the list grows to even more brands to stay away from. I agree what you're saying that moog and...

    Mazda Filter

    Completely normal that it doesn't have an ADBV. I thought the same thing about it not having one, until I did some digging. Mazda from what I can find out didn't want that in there because of the flow required for their Skyactiv engines. and yup it's vertical in the engine. So Mazda left out...

    I posted about who was under the private equity Driv brand, in another thread..Thanks for adding to the list.. it's good to know who's together in this junk group of parts.

    Constant fog and moisture this time of year. Effect on electronics and such?

    most if not all automotive electronics are coated with a conformal coating, acrylic being the cheapest. That prevents any shorting due to condensation. You should check the speakers to make sure they're not short-circuting due to water from the door seeping into the speaker cone. Sometimes...

    Toyota Corolla Spark Plugs

    you might need a little extra "oomph" with the wrench removing them (initial loosening), and they make make a crack then eek sound, but that's completely normal. Just go slow and if you run into resistance while unscrewing/removing them just go the other way (clockwise) and then go back the...
