Hi folks, need some help here. I've got a '13 Elantra (Nu 1.8 MPI engine) meticulously maintained by me (original owner). Has had piston slap on cold starts for the last couple of years. Took it in a month ago, on the last day of powertrain warranty. Dealer said it will cost me US $190 to...

Hi fellas, need some help resolving a dilemma I got. I'm overdue on sparkplugs on my '16 Zx14R, and I'm not willing to take on to the task myself as they're major pain to get to on this particular bike. I don't mind paying a shop to do it, but how do I ensure that they would in fact do the...

The front tires on my 16-month old 350Z with 14k mi are badly cupped on the inside and make loud humming noise at low speeds, worse when braking. They've been doing this since 5-6k mi, and it's been getting progressively worse. I was well aware of the front tire fethering issues on the 03-04...

Have been using this in my '08 gsx-r1000 without any complaints. I decided to check the level the other day after a long ride (hit rev limiter couple of times at 13,750rpm), and it was normal, but there was quite a bit of foam on the surface. Should I be concearned? Might try the T6 5w40 mext...

Was looking under my '97 Alti the other day while it was on a lift, and brake lines were badly coroded, as well as some suspension parts, nuts, bolts, exhaust hangers... Is there a product out there I can apply to these areas (on a newer vehicle) to prevent/delay the corosion process? I know...

I had my '08 GSX-R1000 properly winterized for the season, but did not keep the battery on a tender. After changing the oil/filter I tried to crank it and nothing... lights came on, fuel pump primed, but engine did not turn. I figured the 12v battery was weak and didn't want to wait to charge...

I'm looking to get some of these for my 350Z. I'm wondering how safe they are. Would you use them if your life depended on them? Here is an example of what I'm talking about: http://www.hrautoparts.com/images/ichiba20mm5x114v2.jpg Here's a forum discussion...

Sorry if this is a repost, but Nissan has extended the warranty on all of their CVTs to 10year/120k miles. This warranty applies only to the CVT transmissions on all vehicles produced in '03 till present. So now you don't have to worry about forking out $6K (installed) when the CVT on your...

I have had some very bad luck with the autozone rotors/lifetime pads combo. Poor performance, and premature warpage. I've had early warpage problems with the basic Brembo rotors, also. And I'm easy on the brakes, coast to stops, drive mostly hwy, etc. Are there any reasonably priced rotors/pads...

I'm thinking about installing a slip-on exhaust on my k8 suzuki gsx-r1000, that would eliminate the heavy stock cat converter, give me a cleaner look, better sound, and save some weight. The bike has closed-loop FI system, with a narrow band o2 sensor located on the cat converter. The slip-on...

I recently instaled a crash kit on my bike that includes handlebar sliders which eliminate the factory wights at the end of the handlebars. I understand the weights are there to reduce handlebar vibrations, correct? I can't tell the difference, but I now wonder if I do get more vibes. Anyway, I...

Hi everyone... Today I purchased a brand new Suzuki GSX-1000R. 2007 model year, left over new from last year with only 2 miles on the odo one of which was prpbably put by the mechanics preping the new bike and testing it around the parking lot with me watching. I drove 130mi away from home to...

OK here si my problem... At temeratures below 45F when first started, my car idles at only 1100rpm. Doesn't hessitate, doesn't shake or nothing like that, just idles low as if the engine was warm. Every once in a great while it would act normal: idle at around 1500rpm on start-up than go down as...

My brother has used Fram tough guard in his '03 Maxima with 100k since new without any issues. I convinced him to purchase some WIX filters from fleetfilter.com and he did, but is not happy with the filters at all! He claims that the vq35 in his '03 Maxima with 100k makes loud cam chain...

Im looking at this '02 Cavalier with the 2.2 ohv engine. I think this was the last year for this engine before the 2.2 Ecotec replaced it. It is in good condition with 59k mi, and can pick it up for $4,300 OTD. Does any one know if GM ever resolved the Head Gasket issues on this engine and if so...

The devil made me spray some Prestone belt dressing on the serpantine belt of my '97 Altima with 128k, and I instantly got this bad chatter (like metal rubbing against metal sound) that appears to be comeing from one of the pullies at around 1700rpm-2100rpm. I panicked and sprayed some WD-40 on...

I searched and found nothing on this. Is it a good idea to install a magnet on the outside of the oil pan, near the drain plug? I read somewhere that it is better to install it on the oil filter, but I see two potential problems with this. First, if installed on the side of the filter, it...

My '97 Nissan Altimas' owners manual calls for Dexron II P/S fluid. I went to wally world and they had Valvoline max life with stop leak, Supertech, Prestone and couple of other kinds but none ofthem had the DexronII spec. I picked up a 2 quarts of the Valvoline max life, and plan on extracting...

I'm thinking about installing an ATF cooler on my '97 Altima. My question is: do I installed it so that the fluid from the feed line enters this cooler first, than the factory one, or should it be installed on the return line to the trans? The second one makes more sence to me but just want to...
