I'm going to do a mold in my upper dash for a 8 inch tablet. The factory nav has been removed and the new housing mold trim is going to be abs plastic attached to factory console and 1-2 small strips of wood for bracing. These are the materials for the mold. To attach everything together pre...

I worked at Amazon for about 4 years and never saw used parts. They had damaged packaging or a box that was opened and sold as is. Or something might have fell out like a bag of screws. In my experience and some of my friends I would not order car parts unless it was shipped from the seller...

I agree with the frustration. I only do basic cheap in a hurry parts at local autoparts stores. I recommend everyone to order parts from Rock Auto. Every brand item they have is a good 50% cheaper than AutoZone or Advance. I've known a few people who worked at AutoZone. Prior to working at...

Well I only have experience in non salty conditions. I'm not in a snowy region and I'm not by the beach. So in a full exhaust I can use aluminized pipe for exhaust instead of stainless and not have issue like someone in New York or wherever. For an almost fool proof leak proof connection V band...

I agree with the above about each manufacturer being different. It all depends on ecu programming along with the sensitivity of the knock sensor. Sme more so than others. The ultimate goal is the ecu adjusts before there is knock. I went from a Ford modular 2valve to a Infiniti VQ engine. I...

So I was doing some maintenance the other day and was taking a look overall at everything. Anyway last July I decided to plastidip my factory chrome grille. Not much of a chrome person and the black I figured would look decent. On close inspection I can't find one bad spot or Rock chip after...

Did you ever log your oil pressure like the above mentioned. I'm curious what it was at idle and in higher rpms. I know alot of people are used to new age cars and things that seem low or high today are normal for 25+ year old cars.

Rock Auto has a single condenser fan assembly for $50 and a dual fan unit for $100. Not expensive by any means. A few mounting screws and a fan plug and it's in and out

I guess it depends on the geometry of the whole setup. My scenario was the opposite but a bad bearing. My sound got worse turning left and quiet turning right but it was the same driver side bearing. The hub was trashed as a result of the bearing. I inspection everything because resonance...

Only way to find the noise is with a mechanics stethoscope. $10 for a cheap one, everybody should own this. We can talk about whatever for days. Use it on valve covers, front cover and injector area, go from there. Guarantee after this purchase and a little time the answer will be found. A...

Compressors, condensers, etc do eventually wear out. In most cases it just needs a simple recharge. $25-$40 for a r134 with a gauge is a small price to pay instead of some shop charging you $200 for an inspection to tell you it's gonna be $800 for a compressor and labor. I'm sure people have had...

If this is a new car with an a zero miles engine. I would change the oil at 500-1000 miles on the odometer. Oil is insurance in a preventative way. I would definitely change the oil now and put in what you want. My last new car which has been years ago. I was the original owner. I changed the...

The thing about the 15k and 20k oils is the average customer might take that the wrong way. Say your a normal guy that doesn't know much but owns 3-4 cars. He might by that oil thinking he can go 2-3 years without an oil change as long as the miles are under 15-20k. The average guy isn't gonna...

I don't run Mobile but I did in the past, years back. I would say Mobile has marketed better than anyone the last 20 years. I don't know how many people I've ran into in person who say "I always run Mobil 1, or Mobil 1 is the best," I ask why or how do you know but can't seem to get much of...

I don't drive the miles you do but like in my signature I suggest a Fram Ultra Filter. You are running a good oil and that's my oil of choice. A great option would be the Mobile Annual protection. I believe it's 1 year, 20k miles whatever comes first. Not what I'm looking for, in your case. I...

Awesome, thanks for the replies. The sport vs premium is kinda confusing. My car is a G35 premium edition with sport package. The leather in my car is all the stiff type and the replacement used seat is really soft so might be the difference and correct about the two differences. I'm gonna try...

I would have gotten a clear bra on the front bumper before the car moved out of the parking lot. Long term clear bra of some sort on the bumper, hood, side mirrors is the way to go. It's self sealing. Sealants and waxes aren't going to stop that dump truck doing 80 on the highway dropping random...

I think people are misinterpreting my reply or I'm misinterpreting others replies. I understand fully most all gas in my area is probably from the Memphis refinery. There's no argument there. A map showing a chain of how gasoline is created from beginning to end shows it's going into 2 different...

In Chattanooga, TN there are a good amount of round abouts in popular areas. I hit one almost every day. They are dangerous with US don't care about anything driver's. I see wrecks all the time at round abouts. People don't yield and everyone thinks they all have right away at the same time...
