    Anyone familiar with Nissan 240sx's

    I may have an opportunity in the near future to pick up a 1992 Nissan 240sx for free save for the fact that it has been sitting for 3 years and does not start up now (obviously) Belongs to a co-worker's family and according to him it was running fine until they stopped driving it and let it sit...

    First car mod evar

    So I spent part of yesterday doing my first car mod ever. Decided to go with a Corksport rear sway bar. Being relatively new to working on cars, what should be about a 30 minute job ends up taking 2 hours :oops: Stock vs CS rear sway bars. The CS one is a little thicker and shorter due to the...

    hyper car spotted

    Went to Cut last night in Beverly Hills with the g/f and spotted this gem when we walked outside. Made the Gallardo and SLS AMG in front of it look like common BWM/Mercs :eek: The attention to details on this thing is nuts. i.e it has these nice red leather straps that holds the hood down and...

    First Mod

    Been thinking about doing my first mod on my car in the coming months. I originally wanted to do an SRI but was wary on potential issues it could cause. After doing some browsing on forums, people have had great results with an upgraded rear sway bar saying that it pretty much eliminates the...

    Washing your car

    What do you normally use to wash your car in terms of making it clean and not damaging the paint while you're at it? This is a new practice for me because when I was driving my corolla I wasn't concerned with minor details and was fine with it as long as it wasn't covered in bird crap. With my...

    Snow tires or Chains?

    For those of you in areas with little winter would you rather get snow tires or chains? This is mainly for people with the option to encounter snow i.e go snowboarding but other than that there's no snow year round. IMO it doesn't make a huge amount of sense to get snow tires for something...

    What's the point of high clutch engagement points

    I would imagine that around the 50% mark would have the best feel so I'm not sure why manufactuers like to have the clutch engagement points so high? Is it just a 'feature' of certain cars? Does it benefit anyone?

    Identify that sound

    So recently my 02 corolla has started to make a squeaking sound from the rear right wheel area. At first I just thought it was the brakes, maybe still is. The weird thing is the sound will also happen whenever I move the steering wheel left even just slightly. This is when I'm not applying...

    Which company to pull credit score from?

    As underestand there are 3 credit reporting companies that gives out a FICO score. It looks like the scores that they give out pertain to their own scales so there is a variation to the numbers that they give out. My question is if there is a 'better' or most popular company out of the 3...

    Interviewing while employed

    I was wondering how people did this. Since most interview offers I've come across happen in ~1 week of the actual call how did you get out of work to hit up the interview? Did you let your current employer know that you're doing interviews and that they should be expecting interruptions in...

    Sales Tax

    I currently live in socal and anyone that does knows the sales taxes are crazy high around here. Fortunately I live about 45 minutes to 1 hour from OC where it's 1% less (7.75 vs 8.75). If you're picking up a car would you make the drive out to save that 1% in sales taxes? This is given that...

    To wait or not to wait

    This seems like a no brainer and probably is but I just want to ask to confirm. I'm currently 24 and will be 25 in July of 2012. I am saving to buy a new car and was planning to buy around April but I thought about the insurance and how there's generally a drop in rates at 25 so it would make...

    Gigabyte 965P-DS3 problem

    I'm using a Gigabyte DS3 and 2 IDE hard drives and 1 IDE burner. I know that the DS3 has only 1 IDE port on the mobo so I bought a IDE to Sata converter thinking that I could use either 1 of the HDDs or the burner on the Sata connection. This has brought me much misery as I can not, for...

    Unexpected Upgrade (need opinions)

    Found out today that my PSU fried and took my motherboard with it. Luckily it took nothing else but it has forced me to upgrade because of the limited choices of parts that still support my CPU. Well it's been about 3-4 years since my last real upgrade and I can't really go on using the old...
