    Strange deposit formation on shocks. What is it? (pics)

    My '00 Camry 2.2L with 100,000km was making strange suspension noises. I thought it was the sway bar bushings at first. I greased them but noises were still there. Then I examined the shocks and I discovered some strange deposit build up on 2 of my shocks, right rear and right front having the...

    Do the Ignition Wires and Coil Packs ever need changing?

    I noticed my '00 camry I4 with 91,000km is slightly faster when headlights are off, about 0.2secs faster in 0~100kph. Vehicle is mostly stock with no power robbing ICE system. So I decided to change my PK20TR11 sparkies with only 20,000km on them, and noticed there was no longer a problem with...

    How to tell whether my exhaust is stainless or steel?

    My 6 yr old camry exhaust pipe looks stainless color but has very few rust spots on it. I did a magnet test and the magnet seems to stick to it. I need to weld an 02 sensor bung onto it but am unsure whether to buy the stainless bung or the mild steel bung. Help.

    Im experimenting with mixing 10%, 20% and 30% toluene with 98RON fuel to boost octane. It's not convenient for me to bring the toluene to the gas station and add toluene first, then pump fuel. So I fuel up approx. 90% full then go home and add the remaining 10% toluene. Question is, with this...

After the suspension warms up, there is no more sound going over humps. I crawled under the car to check the shocks, rubber, bushings, etc. Cant seem...

Does Gear 1 Ratio mean the engine turns 3.943 revolutions, the transmission output turns 1 time? 3. So if we put the tranmission...
