I rode my car into a ditch during a rainstorm a few months ago. I had some suspension damage that i replaced with better parts. I also had a nasty gash on the side of my car. Me and a friend touched it up with a few tricks of his and it looks pretty good but the touchup is not exactly durable...

My key doesn't say anything on it. I was always careful with them, Other people however don't seem to care like you said. Now... if i could only get the **** thing out of my socket

No 50/50 left, I tried to get every last drop out. But i have 2 gallons 50/50 premixed and 1 gallon 50/50 that i made, btw, i did let it do some full heat cycles 3 or 4 times so id think that its probably alright. Am i safe to leave it in the cold or not?

I have a 97 z28 camaro and I just replaced my water pump. I pretty much got all the fluid out of the car includint the block. Well everything went ok and i filled it with peak lifetime 50/50. I put two gallons because thats all i had and it appeared that i needed just a little bit more fluid to...

Well my brake pedal itself says anti-lock on it so i guess it is. It self tests when i turn the car on because the light comes on for a second or two with the rest of the lights and goes off. Do you think its malfunctioning if when i slam the brakes while moving for it to look them up and...

I have a 97 z28 camaro and I noticed today that i could lock my brakes up at high speeds. I never tried it before so i decided to on open highway. At 50mph, i just slammed the brakes and instead of slowing down like ABS does, it just locked up and kept sliding. I tested it a few more times and...

Hey guys, i got it off. I used a combination of techniques and finally something worked. I tried prying it and it may have contributed but i ended up hammering a 21mm socket onto the nut. The hex shape with teeth in it was originally turned into a circle and my dad chisesled it and broke half...

I would wax your car with some strong wax. Eggs have been known to strip paint off and even make dents. My friends jeep got egged and it took tons of paint off and we cleaned it within 10 minutes. If you have some wax on, at least the eggs will stick to the wax and not the paint and you just...

Thanks for the help guys, i got the other 3 off all with trouble and already tossed em. Ill try prying the the tire a little bit, that seems likea good idea. My dad chiseled at it a little bit and i dont think the special sockets will even fit on it anymore. I may try dremeling. I think it would...

I wouldn't bother. It would be hard to clean the filter of all the small debris and it would be much more effort and more expensive than just buying a new filter. Im sure even that filter will wear out.

I got nice chrome wheels so torching is limited like you said, and they are indented so it is hard to get tools in it. So i guess i should go with the cut the whole lug nut off and possibly the threads. Does anyone know how much the special sockets cost and if autzone/murrays would have em?

Thanks for the help guys. Umm, im not gonna be a jerk with the cutout and distrubing peace and quiet. Im gonna get the electronic control plate and ill leave it closed except for sometimes when i want it opened. Fair enough?

I had one of those lock lugnuts that someone put on really tight either at school or while i was getting an alignment. Well, i really need to get this thing off so i can flush my brakes and do a tire rotation. It was already rounded out a little so i always left it loose on purpose just so my...

I just bought a flowtech exhaust for my 97 z28 camaro and really want it installed but i dont know what kind of store i should take it to and what i should tell them. I called 2 muffler stores and it seemed like they didnt want to do it. There are no emission tests in my area and it is going...

Yeah, thats what i thought guys. Ill get the good stuff. I found this in my garage and i was wondering about it. I dont think it would hurt anything but itd be better just to get the real stuff.

I have a 97 z28 camaro and i just changed my water pump, thermostat, and flushed out everything including the block. Well, the people at the store told me to get 2 gallons of peak lifetime 50/50 compatible with all makes an models. I used the two gallons and it wasnt enough so i added about half...

You guys really need to do your research, no offense but my coolant is 50% water so that just filters and becomes pure through the soil. The other 50% is mostly ethelyne glycol is like a sugar and easily breaks down in a few days in the soil. I verified on the cdc's chemical page and they say...

Thanks for the help guys, really appreciate it, i should have my new pump in tomorrow and and get everything running again. If my opti isn't dead, im gonna be one happy person.

well, weed killer is highly toxic to animals and little children too so its not like it makes that much a difference. I have no better way of getting rid of it so i might as well use it. Ive only emptied 2 gallons so far and will have some more tomorrow after my water pump change. I just put it...

Well, i already bought the stuff and 50/50 seems about right for me, it's what i used previously. I don't know if it matters but it was peak and not prestone. My previous coolant was prestone dexcool. I was wondering if this would be efficient enough for my system. I believe i have this one...
