My stepbrother found a car (1993 Plymouth Laser) for a thousand bucks with a recently rebuilt AUTO tranny (30K on tranny, ~170K on motor). It's got wheels/tires, a nice system, and looks to be in pretty good condition. Right now he's driving a 92 Corolla with 280K miles and it leaks 3 quarts...

OK, here it is. I get this odd whirring/whistling sound right at throttle tip-in. Very high pitched, like the whine of an electric motor only magnified a hundred times, or speaker feedback. It doesnt matter if I start from a stop or blip the throttle on the highway, it does it, and it did it...

OK guys, I just noticed this driving to school yesterday morning. At about 55MPH there is a odd pulsation in the steering wheel and gas pedal. Slow down... goes away. Put it in neutral at 60MPH, pulsation is still there. Anybody know what this can be? Im kinda worried about my LSD snapping...

OK, I'm going to get my stocker patched today, but I know it won't last too long like that, and, being a college student, I don't have loads of dough laying around so I picked out 3 tires that I am interested in. What do you guys think? If anyone else has a good suggestion for ~$100 then...

I have got a question about the stock tires that come with the car. I know they are Bridgestone Potenza RE040s, but do they come with any warranty against defects or road hazards? The reason I'm asking is because I've noticed that my pass. side front tire is losing air every 3-4 days. I...

Hey guys, finally got the time to install my joep about an hour ago. Did about 4 runs up and down the backroads in 3rd gear to get the boost level.... and no matter how far I turned the MBC I got no response. I have an Autometer ultralite boost gauge, installed to that little loop on the...

I got a MTX 6000 series 12" sub in a box for 104.50 after tax. The guy at the audio shop told me that a rockford 3002? or 4002? would be good amps to push it. Any other ideas so I can shop around a bit more?

I was driving around today, and those 2.3 badges on the new 3s are pretty good looking. I was wondering, could anyone fab up a set of stylized badges that say 2.0T that are NOT from Saab or Volvo. I think it would look good right above the side trim, where the 3s have their badges. Anyone agree?

OK, I think I blew my sub, but I don't know how. No matter what I set the settings to, the sub always makes a really loud buzzing sound every time it hits. It's not rattling against anything, i already checked. Think its blown?

Hey Miata guys. Jack from Unichip just informed us MSPers that he wants to develop a PnP chip for the Mazdaspeed MX5. He needs a car in the Portland area for development. This product is amazing, and although only a few have been ordered and installed, the gains are incredible. Here is a...

Does anyone else listen to them, and does anyone else think that they are genius? Also, if you do, say which album you think is better.

OK, now I am pissed off. Went and spent 200 bucks last night on a 5900XT video card, and it didn't fix my problem. What's the problem you ask? OK, any time I start playing video games (painkiller, UT2K4, even BF1942) it plays for a while, and then locks the computer. I figured, eh, I got a...

.... because IMHO, it is terrible. The thing is TINY compared to what it looks like in pictures, probably around the same size as a P5/MZ3. Granted, a 5.7L Hemi in that small of a vehicle would kick ass, but still. The roofline is waaaaaaaaay too low, looks more like a low slung sportscar...

http://biz.yahoo.com/rb/040521/autos_mitsubishimotors_2.html Looks like Mitsu got the money it needed to stay afloat. Now if they can stay floating without a big corporate buyout, I will be surprised.

OK guys, I got a question and I don't know where to put it, so here goes. From what I understand, the old Probes and MX-6's have (as their 4 cylinder) the FS-ZE engine, and I lurk around on the probe boards occasionally (stepbrother has a 94PGT, thinking about a KLZE swap) and they make...

OK, I was driving home from school today when 2 very peculiar things happened. 1) Other than a truck about 6 carlengths ahead of me, there was no one around. I wasn't making any turns or anything, going about 50mph and my windshield cracked. It looked like someone shot it at pt. blank range...

Stopped outside to grab something from my car and about 5 spots down from me was a titanium 'speed. Anyone on here? It was about 1:30ish at the MWR building on base.
