    Why rotate and balance tires?

    ? I can school your Audi at drifting in a Geo. Name an AutoX event and date in Philly and I'll be there in a rental Monte Carlo lol.

    mobil 1 filters. .......... grrrrrrrrrrrr

    That's Ok. I knew about BITOG for a year before signing up when I had a new car on the way. What got on my nerves is when you said you'd buy Purolator filter again even if one of their filters wobbled on like the Mobil's and that you'd never get another Mobil filter. Anyway, thanks for helping...

    mobil 1 filters. .......... grrrrrrrrrrrr

    I've never been a believer in seniority. Let me calculate something -- 91 posts in 13 months? That puts you one step below me at this pace. If you weren't sure about the jingle jangle of the M1 filter cup, you'd surely been around long enough to know that it shouldn't be sitting on your...

    mobil 1 filters. .......... grrrrrrrrrrrr

    I've come to the conclusion that the thread starter is a troll after reading everybody's posts. I'm surfing this site for my first oil change (in both senses -- my first hands on oil change and my new car's first oil change) and after this "horror story", I belive Mobil 1 is the right choice...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    Hello Prospect, I am registered at Club WRX under the name of Sixty8 and I just posted a picture there in the newbie boards. I just started visiting nasioc but their general population is just not my cup of tea. I'm going to add Cobb transmission mount, shifter bushings, 2 piece short throw...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    You think so? It will have maybe 600 miles by Christmas Day. I'd rather be hands on with this car from now on. What do I need to change oil and filter on my own? Common sense says I need two ramps, oil catcher pan and the appropriate amount of oil required and a new oil filter purchased at the...

    Why rotate and balance tires?

    "yep, same here. lately it's been raining really hard and i've done dumb things (in huge parking lot away from people) like pull the e-brake or trying to 4 wheel drift (in fwd no less) while going at least 60mph and i've had no luck at all." I drifted at just 10 mph in the wets easily in my two...

    Why rotate and balance tires?

    "PS in my cars, I can't induce the rear to come around no matter how bald the rear tires are." Good luck when you cruise around that long sweeping curve on wet surfaces because your rear will hydroplane in a heartbeat. I learned this the hard way a few years ago in my Escort. I'd want to...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    Wow. I'll never forget this roadtrip! I'm just in love with this car. All I really did was just driving it in top gear from 50 mph (2,000 rpm) to 105 mph (3,800 rpm) the whole way. I pulled through every rest areas on the way to get down to 20 mph and hit up to 4,500 rpms getting back on the...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    I didn't expect a lot of replies but I appreciate it guys! Yes, it's a really nice sports sedan car. Having AWD in the Winter season is going to be so much fun. Ramblin' Fever: I haven't driven through these states but Illinois is enough! I've went across Illinois 40+ times in the last five...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    I am going to be driving on Interstate 64 from St. Louis, MO to Lexington, KY. Illinois is one of the most boring states to drive through; mostly flat and straights then it gets more exciting in Indiana where there are long sweeping curves with plenty of gradual hills. I didn't think of...

    New Car's First Roadtrip Question

    Hello, this is my first post here. I purchased a 2006 Subaru Impreza WRX TR with 30 miles on it. I pick it up this Friday and I will be going on a one way 375 miles roadtrip. I told my Subaru technican that I'd be driving on a 375 mile trip at highway speeds and I wanted to know if there was...
