Before I get into the advice I'm seeking, we are strictly looking at the 2017 because of the new standard safety features, 8 speed (old one was 6 speed) automatic transmission and direct injection motor. The combination of engine and transmission gives it an extra 25 HP and 15 ft. lbs. of torque...

Friend moved back home but left her car here for work when she comes in once a month for 3-4 days. El Paso, TX so that gives you an idea of the weather. Was thinking about about going with Mobil 1 extended performance oil with a M1 filter. Car will sit for days and maybe weeks at a time...

They have always given us problems, especially when the temperature drops suddenly. Plate inside the door says 34 so I check and the tires are at 34. Spare is filled to spec as well. Light comes in, flashes and then stays on after I start the car. From my research that means the sensor is...

Vehicle is a 2013 Hyundai Tucson with the 2.4l I live in a very dusty and windy environment, El Paso, commute lately has increased anywhere from 45 minutes to 1.5 hour drive. The paper filter in there now is going to be changed within a day or two. I got less than 4,000 miles out of it. Now...

Local Hyundai wants $8/filter. I've read somewhere about Hyundai/Kia recommending not using aftermarket oil filters due to ticking issues but I'm not sure if it's just a scare tactic by them. I used to get them back home for about $5 each due to a friend working at the Kia parts counter but...

They have a 5 year warranty. Others I'm considering are Milwaukee and Dewalt. More specifically, I'm looking at a drill and impact 2 drill set. My dad swears by Milwaukee but he uses his tools for work. I'm just using them around the house from time to time and would use the impact to save time...

Moved down here to El Paso and if you've been to the southwest, you know that the summers are really hot, it's windy and dusty/sandy here. I have about a 50 mile round trip each day to work and go through a road that goes through the mountains, about 4.5 miles up and 4.5 miles down. The Woodrow...

It's my buddy's car. It drove fine this morning. This afternoon, he went out to start it and it would crank and turn but it would shut off immediately. The car is just sitting at work for the night. Any ideas on where to look first? The car seems to fire and start but it cannot stay on...

Got some new wheels/tires/TPMS for my 2008 Camry. The whole setup came shipped fully mounted and balanced. Now the question is regarding the TPMS and how the ECU has to learn the new sensors on there. I do not have the ID numbers of the new TPMS. Is there a way to relearn them myself?

Currently, I drive an '03 Z06 every day, the practicality of the car, or lack of it, is starting to show. My commute is about 15 miles each way so I'm not driving a lot. I'm in the military, I'm stationed in Louisiana so we don't get snow here. However, when we get extended weekends or go on...

Anyone have recent experience with the newer versions? I'll be getting off deployment in a few months and I'll just have my 2003 Z06. I will need a car that will have more practical applications. Was wondering if it's worth going with the AWD model vs. the FWD model. The 10 year, 100,000 mile...

I need some new tires, I have about 28k on the factory tires. Size is 215/45/17. There are currently ZR tires on there, why they put ZR tires on this little car, I dunno. But I'm just going to go with all-season since the car is a daily driver. I've always had good luck with Firestone tires...

It's the GF's car. I'm on vacation from the Army and this is not how I envisioned spending my vacation. But it has to be done and if not me, then who? LOL. She has the V6 version and if you're not familiar with this, the alternator is located at the bottom of the motor. The motor sits sideways...

One of the guys in my platoon has one of them and went to change his oil last week. He ended up draining the trans fluid instead of the oil. He was going to have it towed to the stealership but I told him I would help him. There are 3 plugs: drain, fill and check. From the searching I've...

Guy I know has a 2003 with the 2.5l non-turbo. The brake and battery light are on. Alternator was replaced 30k miles ago, battery even more recently. He's taken the car to 2 different places that have tested the alternator and battery, both are testing fine. With some research he has done...

18 hours of work and we did this: C6 Z06 clutch LG Pro headers RPM IV T-56 Only 2 problems that I can see and 1 of them isn't a problem, IMO: 1. sounds like there are exhaust leaks in the header system so I'll have to cinch those up. 2. Jeg's sold me the wrong exhaust header bolt, they...

I've searched online and on the Scion Life forums. I cannot find a procedure for it. It's for a 2008 TC. Anyone know how it's done?

Guys, Was thinking about picking up some Speed Bleeders. I talked to a few other guys and some of them had some experiences with leaking. Others said that a better method to thoroughly bleed was bottom up. My thing is, I don't want to hassle anyone for help so I want to keep it a 1 man...

that I just picked up this week: I'm going to order some Amsoil and swap out some fluids next weekend. I have in mind: Engine flush 5w-30 motor oil EaO oil filter 75w-90 gear fluid Manual trans fluid-according to Amsoil, I can use universal trans fluid for this application. Power steering...

I shot this guy an offer of $21k, pending inspection/test drive, for this car: http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c5-corvettes-for-sale/2421075-2001-speedway-white-z06.html What do you guys think?
