The Michelin's are 215/55-16V mounted on a '99 Nissan Maxima SE with a aftermarket rear sway bar. The GeoStar's are on a '03 Lexus ES 300 with tire size 215/60-16V.

The sidewalls are very soft on these Geostar's. The Michelin tires show no where despite having 35k on them. I've had them since new and am very happy with their performance in the rain, snow and quiet highway ride. From what I gather, Michelin's tend to be under rated in their tread wear...

Planning on purchasing a vehicle with these newly installed on it in tire size 215/60-16. http://www.geostartire.com/tires/geostar-rx-615?tab=specs Seems like garbage tires to me. I'm thinking of swapping my "old" Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires that have 35k miles on them already as they look...

I ordered the csf unit from radiatorbarn.com. It's not a all metal radiator. It's the oe style. Under description it shows; "ONE ROW, OE STYLE PLASTIC TANKS ALUMINUM CORE." Hopefully this $76 part will last.

Is CSF a widely known reputable brand? I am not at all familiar with radiator brands as this is the first one that has failed me. Then again, I've never had a car with 175k miles and being 13 years old.

The radiator on my '99 Nissan Maxima has sprung a leak at the top plastic portion. I'm looking at Rockauto and they carry a "various mfr" brand for $67 + shipping. Sounds like a generic brand. Radiatorbarn.com has a "Csf" brand radiator for $76.40 shipped to me with lifetime warranty. A...

As mentioned earlier, not everything will show up. From my experience, Carfax usually provides more detailed info.

What condition were the original's in? A lot of times the original's can go past that mileage without any issues.

How many miles were on your mdx when you replaced the oem spark plugs?

Verizon is probably the best with most coverage area in rural areas. In major cities, almost all if not all companies will give you great coverage. I was a loyal Verizon customer for 16 years but have now switched to a less expensive GSM provider that gives me unlimited, voice, data and text...

Awesome car. Post some photo's for us. I've also been a fan of this gen TL-S with the 6-speed. It drives very well for a fwd platform. Try RedLine or Amsoil and you won't go wrong. No need for the GM stuff. I used Specialty Formulations on my old '03 Altima 3.5SE 5-Speed Manual and was very...

I'm not sure what your budget is but you can buy any audi with the 2.0T engine with quattro and get both the mpg and winter safety. You can also get the same with BMW in the 3 series flavor xi models. If you want reliability, you just can't beat Subaru for the cost of ownership and winter...

Don't bother. I bet that hard sooty carbon will have no ill effects on your engine performance. Use a quality oil, synthetic for more cleaning detergents and call it a day. A flush can cause more hard than good as stated before. I'm also pretty sure that your seals won't like the flush much.

You sound like me. For people like us, it's better to leave things like this alone. Touch up everything the best as you can and let it be. No one will ever match the oem quality.

Talk to the owner and see what's up. Maybe he'll give you a break in price. It's hard to find anything decent for this kind of money. This seems decent and looks like it will fit your needs, keep you happy and will be a low cost upgrade after you sell your current Neon. Let us know how it...

I'm betting it's a starter. I had a somewhat intermittent issue on my car that was similar to yours. It was extremely hard to narrow down. People have told me the battery connections, ignition switch, and so on... It finally gave out where it wouldn't start any more. Put in a different...

Seems like they gave you a fair offer. You can get more in CA on a Prius selling it private party. You can usually weed out the tire kicker's over the phone. People will either have cash or in this case, being that the car is over $20k, will meet you at their Financial Institution and hand you...

Try Auto-RX and then switch to a store bought Pennzoil, Castrol or Valvoline. Give it at least two oil changes while using the same brand oil and see if consumption settles down after the second change.

Wiswind, I agree with you about the PCV Valve. Keeping those clean should help maintain a healthier engine in this car with it being so prone to sludge.
