    Replace battery lead?

    Has anyone ever replaced the positive battery lead? Mine is corroded to heck. It seems that one side goes to the fuse box and is easy, but the other side disappears into the harness.

    So I've got the double din premium 6 disc changer in my 2003 ES and I'm trying to install a double din replacement...

    Anyone done a clutch without a lift?

    I've got basic tools incl a torque wrench, breakers, 1/2 in drive items, etc. But all I have are jackstands to work with. Do I need a lift for this? I wanna try and avoid having to take the car to the mechanic for this. Its my first clutch job, but the FSM seems to spell everything out nicely.

    OBX Header with stock exhaust.. anyone tried?

    has anyone tried this? I know many people say an axleback dosent really do anything for the ES 2.0, so I was thinking of doing just the header. If I really need to I might do the Racing beat exhaust, but I want to be as quiet as possible and try to free up the top end. I'm assuming I should...
