The great Windsor Davies passed away on 1/17/2019. He was a great actor with his distinctive and commanding "Welsh Guards" voice and was probably most famous for his portrayal of "Sergeant Major" in the hilarious Britcom "It Ain't Half Hot Mum": It Ain't Half Hot Mum - Best Bits

Well after 14 years of ownership, I no longer have my 2000 Acura 3.2TL On 14Oct16, I was driving to work at ~2:15AM doing 70 mph on I-75 when all of a sudden in lane 3 there appeared a deer. At the speed I was travelling, there was no way I could avoid a collision so the inevitable...

Have any of you had what you’d consider a “perfect” drive to work? Tonight I did… I drove my 51 mile commute to work (at 2AM), hit all green traffic lights (8), cruise control @ 70 mph on the interstate, very few cars on the road, barely had to touch the brakes. My wheels didn’t stop turning...

In a recent thread I mentioned that I planned on doing the Camaro deep transmission pan upgrade to my '09 Pontiac G8 GT. Well I finally received my CAM2 Dexron VI ATF order to complete the items I needed for the job so I did the upgrade a couple days ago. I won't bore you with procedural...

So I decided to upgrade the rear sway bar on my '09 Pontiac G8 GT from the stock 18mm (FE2) bar to the 20mm (FE3) bar. While I was at it I decided to replace the sway bar links with Moogs. Here's a side by side of the rear links; stock (l) Moog (r): The stock links are sealed, are cadmium...

from the scrapyard. I saw a video about this and here's a link to the story on Ford's website: https://media.ford.com/content/fordmedia...n-engine-f.html I think this is great... a novel new way to remanufacture otherwise perfectly usable engine blocks. I wonder if any savings get passed on...

A little background: about two weeks ago I noticed my car (2000 Acura 3.2TL w/ 209k miles) pulling to the right but I hadn't hit any big potholes or anything but I figured I'd make an appointment for an alignment. It was aligned about a year ago when I put on a set of Dunlop Direzza DZ101s in...

I decided to change out the PF48 oil filter in my '09 Pontiac G8 GT and replace it with a PF63. I decided to go with the slightly longer filter primarily to make the oil filter change easier. The L76 6.0L Gen IV has a 9 qt oil capacity so the oil pan's depth and tight clearance oil filter...

I have an appointment next week to get the timing belt changed on my '00 Acura 3.2TL. The original belt was changed at ~70K and the car now has 161,800 miles. I'm at 1800 miles on my 10K mi OCI (99.9% highway) and I've got plenty of oil availalbe in my stash so an oil change is no big deal. Do...

BMW script burned into viewers' eyelids

Just saw this: BMW to introduce FWD models I love this: Quote: Eighty percent of 1 Series drivers thought the car already had front-wheel drive.

So the FIA finalized the team/driver lineup for 2010: Quote: McLaren Mercedes 1 Jenson Button (GB) 2 Lewis Hamilton (GB) Mercedes Benz GP Limited 3 Michael Schumacher (D) 4 Nico Rosberg (D) Red Bull Racing Renault 5 Sebastian Vettel (D) 6 Mark Webber (AUS) Ferrari 7 Felipe Massa (BR) 8...

Any of you guys used The Wax Shop products? I remember seeing their ads at car shows and races and the reviews seemed to be positive. They sell a "glaze" product - what is that? How does that differ from a liquid or paste carnauba wax? Do you apply glaze over wax? Please share any experiences...

OK, so I have a "what oil should I use" question... I recently bought an '09 Pontiac G8 GT with the 6.0L L76 V8 engine. I bought 9 qts of RL 5W-30 with the intention of using it when I hit 1000 miles but I read on the bottle that it's not to be used during break in, wait until at least 3000...

So what do y'all think of the new USF1 team that will be announced on 24 Feb. 09? I for one think it's great, I'd love to see an American Formula 1 team. Don't know about the timing but I do wish them well. Looking forward to seeing who the engine supplier will be and I think Scott Speed would...

OK, now that we have a Tool Time forum, I thought I'd start a post about Metrinch tools (you knew that was coming, eh? ). I don't normally buy stuff "as seen on TV" but when I saw the cheezy Metrinch infomercial, I was intrigued - and yes I bought the set. That was over 10 years ago and they're...
