    2007 Nissan Versa - Engine died on the interstate today.

    That seems like a LOT of money, even for a rebuilt. Junkyard Versa engines seem plentiful (check car-part.com), there's plenty of them with 30-50k miles for $600-800. Not sure how/why the chain failed so early on yours, but assuming the new one's okay you should be good another 150k miles easily.

    Deal or No Deal - 1999 Acura Integra GS-R

    Of course the salesman is going to say it's immaculate, amazing, awesome, well worth 2x what they're asking for it, is stuffed with only the best Spoon/Mugen parts. They want to make a sale afterall, and salesman are paid to build excitement and sell cars.

    Electrical circuit design help

    My trouble is the solar panel doesn't provide enough power to run the motor indoors though. The ideal design would store the trickle charge, then discharge the capacitor to run the motor once the capacitor was fully charged. The switch is an interesting idea, one way would charge the...

    Electrical circuit design help

    Will that give the behavior I'm looking for? From some examples I've seen online it sounded like the power source would need to be removed before the capacitor would discharge. Based on this: http://farside.ph.utexas.edu/teaching/316/lectures/node60.html It sounds like the solar panel would...

    Hey guys, I recently purchased a few of these: http://www.amazon.com/Solar-Car-Smal...ords=solar+car It's a simple circuit where the solar panel is connected directly to the motor. In the default setup, the solar panel only provides enough power to run the motor under direct sunlight...

    Thinking of buying a week-end truck

    Carfax really seems to have dropped the ball. Buying a car last month, I ran a Carfax report and it just didn't make sense. It claimed 1 owner, but it was bought/sold 4x in the last 11 years. I asked a Carfax customer service rep what it meant, she didn't know. I got an autocheck...

    My car is peeing coolant. :-(

    Rosenthal Mazda sells a hose kit to replace all of them with OEM parts. Easier than trying to make the "kinda close" aftermarket ones to bend in to fit all the weird angles, etc. http://parts.arlingtonmazda.com/products/COOLANT-HOSE-KIT-%28PKMIAD1006%29.html If that doesn't work, it's part #...

    What ballpark cost am I looking at to fix my A/C?

    In addition to Zenmervolt's reply, sometimes if the contamination from the failed compressor is bad enough a full system flush to clean out any debris/crud from the failed compressor is necessary, which can add to the cost.

    Where do people go for salvage

    My local Home Depot has a "scrap" collection in the back with pieces exactly like what you're describing. It's usually like $0.30-$0.50 per piece or something. Sometimes you can find pretty good pieces there, more than once I've seen 2x6 lengths 4-ft long treated wood, going for $0.50.

    Debating between these vehicles-

    I'd say keep it & do the following: Figure out how much car payment you'd be comfortable with the new car. Set aside half that monthly into a savings acct until you reach $3k or your first repair. Pay for all maintenance/repair work from that fund, and replenish it via the...

    Anyone ever had their automatic antenna break?

    One trick to try before you replace it is get a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol, and give the mast itself a good cleaning. If it comes out super dirty, you can try some fine steel wool, just be gentle. Once that's done use some silicone lubricant on the mast. Then see if it will...

    I want to know more about EGR valve CEL

    It happens from time to time. To fix short term: http://www.mazdaspeedforums.org/forum/f33/how-clean-your-1st-gen-mazdaspeed-3-egr-50596/ You can purchase an EGR delete kit from JBarone pretty cheap (Like $15), but the ecu will throw a code & you won't be emissions compliant. If your local...

    civic with no spark

    I went through this with my brother's Integra a few months ago. There's a few items in the distributor that can cause there to be no spark; most common is the coil, second most common is the ignitor. If you have a test light (or maybe an analog multimeter) test the voltage between the two...

    Where do you go change your tires?

    This is why I pretty much always go to Discount over anywhere else: If there's a warranty issue you're taken care of on the spot. Tire rack at best they have to ship over the replacement tire.

    Automotive Parts Database

    Spark plug reading

    How long ago was the service performed? If within the last few months I'd pay a trip back and let them know. You're still well within warranty, and they've already performed one service because of a previous problem.

    Spark plug reading

    Stick with the stock manufacturer (Denso ITV20). There's a lot of past discussion on the Mazdaspeed boards, and a reason why the copper plugs are a bad idea (Unfortunately I can't remember what it was, but stick with the stock metal type: Iridium). RockAuto had the best price I could find on...

    form with section that grays out if not selected

    Not 100&#37; sure what you're trying to do still, but maybe you want to wrap the 3rd option in a div, set the style display to "none". Then when they select a different option, change the display to "inline". Something like: <div style="display: none;"> Third option stuff here </div>

    Transmission/clutch problem? Gas pedal = RPMs up without power to wheels?

    Good rule of thumb for getting price quotes: Call two dealerships in your area and ask what they charge. Then call a few independent mechanics/shops and see what they want for the same job. Be sure to compare what's included with each and go with what you're most comfortable with.

    Putting new engine into a $1200 Chevy Astro worth it?

    This is true, that or the water pump are likely culprits. The trouble is most people who'd sell a vehicle for overheating have probably already driven hundreds/thousands of miles on it in an overheated condition blowing headgaskets, warping heads/decks, and just generally destroying the engine...

    swapImage(); simple javascript doesn't work. help

    Why is this? Do you mean specifically for this instance it's not a best practice, or in general? It's not often I hear about best practices for Javascript (usually it's the opposite) so I'm curious what the reasoning is. Thanks!

    2 man Brake Bleed/Flush?

    The reason this is suggested is the piston inside the brake master cylinder usually only travels 80-85% of the full bore, since with power brakes anything beyond 70% or so pedal travel has the brakes locked up 100% and the back pressure keeps the pedal from traveling any further. With the...

    Something wrong with my DBW or ECM? Or normal?

    Agreed 100%. With a wideband monitoring the A:F ratio you can easily tell when the ecu/ecm starts firing the injectors while engine braking because it goes from extremely lean to something around stoich.

    American Eagle Tactical AE223 .223 Ammo

    It's hard to tell what the additional $100/$200 buys you looking at their catalog. The way they splay the features/attributes all over in different sized/colored font makes comparison difficult. I'm used to being sold on why I'd want to spend an additional $200 over the base model. :D
