one extremely dim? My thoughts were either they got into an accident and went to some cheap junk store that repaired it poorly for very little money, so they took no time to aim the headlights after putting them back in. Or, people fiddle around with their lights too much when replacing their...

cams that just idle roughly sounding like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7M27YmIT70&t=60s and cams that cause actual lope like this: https://youtu.be/oaJ3w_fAdoI?t=37s What's the physical difference between them, and what do they cause the engine to do that makes the difference between...

So I've been reading that the K&N filters let in some dirt particles other filters wouldn't, and that it raises silicon. Wondering if going with a realllllly good oil filter would offset some of this? I'm too stubborn to trash the $55 filter I just bought less than a year ago, plus in the...

I have 2 options: leave my winter tires back home in MN and see if I can get my lazy [censored] to sell them (they would realistically probably just sit around for years and years), or I can ship them out to Portland and put them on. I haven't driven into the foothills or over the mountains...

Driving my deceased grandfather's f250 around the other day to move some things, it has 68k on it. Honestly don't think he ever did anything except oil changes. Brakes are shot and I think the transmission is probably factory fill. Anyway, at about 50mph it starts to jerk like someone is...

Left for vacation. Car was working fine. Came back 2 weeks later, car wouldn't start. Voltage at 9.75. Generally everything shuts off with the car, radio, lights, cigarette power ports. I'm guessing there's a moderate parasitic draw, but once I determine the milliamps, where do I go from...

Grandfather passed away recently and has a Farmall A that's basically the symbol of my childhood. I don't have a lot of money and no land to keep it on. Was wondering if there's perhaps a museum that would take it if I could get it restored, or at least someone who will take care of it properly...

that will help clean [censored] out of the carburetor? Normally I'd just pull the carb apart and clean it up but the engine runs fairly well, just that it needs half choke all the time, I can never go full lean or the engine oscillates like crazy. Plus there's weird tools required to pull the...

All I can say is: nearly 5 years of driving this car before I moved to Oregon, not a single scratch anywhere near the gas tank. Move here. 3 months in, there's dents and scratches around the gas tank. Outdated stupid laws. Pumps are fitted with breakaway hoses (everywhere) and tons of safety...

I had a cheap junk HF tool kit that was mostly a socket set, along with some random other tools. It somewhat served its purpose but the socket wrench has gotten kinda screwy, the 1/4"-3/8" adapater snapped like a twig when my friend was changing his 7.3's alt, and I've kinda lost half of the...

Is it just tuned differently? Same exact engine and parts but different tuning, or was the engine itself actually modified for more power?

Don't worry about the details of what car or CVTF I'm using, just tell me how to get the [censored] pan off that's stuck on with that orange gasket goo. I've tried wedging a screwdriver in (carefully) and that's not going in. Tried jamming a knife in, that's not working either. Any idea how to...

on the side of the road, either need to not be allowed to drive because they can't see/pay attention, or they're psychopaths and they should be put in jail. It's one thing if there's a squirrel and you're going 75 with traffic on all sides of you, but I see people deliberately hit cats...

L6 steel. Will it really matter what I use as long as it's not something like jeweler's compound? I don't think that would ever finish an edge nicely on a knife unless it was applied after a fine cutting compound. I start with a diamond file, that leaves much too rough of an edge for what I'm...

What are both the high and low ends of what you'd consider normal for a standard NA passenger vehicle? Obviously fully warmed up My car never seems to get above 220F.

This morning I was trying to go to a few websites when I first turned my computer on. BITOG and another site didn't load, but at that time it was because of the internet. So I fixed the issue with the interenet and tried loading the websites again. Still said they were unavailable. Used isup.me...

What do you all think of the current model Golf R? I get it, it's a VW, it's probably not going to be problem free for 200,000 miles like a Lexus would, but I think the fun of the Golf can be traded off for some reliability. I don't really have the money to buy one, I just wonder what people...

I still see cars (presumably registered in the massive Portland metro area) spewing clouds of [censored] smoke, cars with obviously destroyed cats that smell like a rotting [censored]. How do they even do emissions tests here? Just check a car for emissions codes and assume it's fine if nothing...

I've been looking all over for an answer to this and can't seem to find it. Does it not respond well to extremely rapid pulses or something?

I've gone with them since I got my first car, never really had a problem except a guy being pushy about my TPMS sensors being rebuilt once. On the other side, at other shops I've mostly seen ridiculous tire prices or ignoring of my emails. At tirediscounters in when I was in KY, they wanted $330...
