    2001 Mazda B4000 Parts Interchangeability w/ Ford Ranger

    Does anyone know if parts like front seats will swap over from a ford ranger to a 2001 mazda b4000? Also, anyone know whether there are any ranger tail lights that will fit a b4000 without doing any rewiring? looks like the b4000 has 3 bulbs while the ranger uses 2.

    Engine longevity?

    some friends of mine work for a car co-op that has tons of 2.0L proteges...most make it to 250000km w/out ever burning oil. it's not the engine that's dies first. it's the other parts around it. imo, changes the tranny fluid more often than recommended. i used to have an 02 p5 w/ 140000km on...

    Hankook Ventus RS-2 Clearance at Tirerack

    I'm surprised no one mentioned it yet but Hankook Ventus RS-2's have been on clearance at tirerack for awhile now. They still have some 205-50-16 tires for $68usd+shipping. IMO, that's a killer deal for sticky summer tires.

    HOW TO: Replace Fog Lights

    i bought a set of those when i was in the states. imo, they're worthless pieces of crap good for selling a car... fog lights were of very poor quality. wires pull out of the crimps very easily. the fogs also illuminate very poorly since the reflector isn't focussed. overall, i'd say don't...

    How Heavy Is The Stock Clutch Feel?

    you need to check for clutch drag when the clutch is pushed in....i think you can check this by pushing the clutch down, wait about 10s, then throw it into reverse. it should go in w/out grinding. if it's grinds, your clutch is dragging you also need to check to see if the clutch is engaging...

    Bad Motor Mount(s)?

    to keep the motor from falling, put a scissor jack under the oil pan...the reason i say scissor jack because it can be raised with more precision than a hydrolic jack...you might jack it too much when using a hydrolic jack to hold the engine.
