Re: Rolling Squeak

I took a look see, and sure enough I have to replace them.

But when I got home after looking in our schools auto shop, I noticed a quick drip of coolant and oil, and it's covering the entire right side and right wheel suspension set up :(

Rolling Squeak

So I went out for lunch today, and when I was coming back I noticed a strange noise. When ever I'm braking or accelerating it doesn't make any noise. However, when I was rolling, it was squeaking louder with speed. Would it be a bearing or a brake bad or something else? I'm quite confused.

Re: Dash Install Kit

Also both of those brands are pretty crappy in the construction so i wouldn't expect much longevity or sound quality out of them. Also not to sound rude or call you stupid but you do know neither has a CD player right?

Don't need one, I wanna go USB/iPod route for my car. Seems like the safer ...

Broken Hood Release

So I go to check my oil today, shows I'm about a quart low. I go to Autozone, buy a quart, put in. Get home and go to release my hood to check the level, and my hood release snaps! Literally, the actual lever swings all the way around, but the cord is not stuck. What on earth should I do?!

Re: Dash Install Kit

Best buy should stock the Dash kit you need, they had the one i needed, it is a Metra Brand as well. but you will need to have the harness which i would check amazon for. i got a "metra" harness which seems ...

Dash Install Kit

So I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a new stereo next week. I'm considering these two bad boys:

Re: Terrible Milage?

I figured it'd be that, but would that apply even when I'm idiling, on the level? I did that for about a minute, even restarted the car, and it still didn't move. I'll keep calculating and watching it to see what's up.

Terrible Milage?

Today I filled up my car just one tick under the 1/2 mark. After just 33 miles, its a tick away from 1/4! I only went WOT twice, and ran the AC for 4 minutes on our country road trip that was all around 45-55, then back to 25. Does this sound right? I know I have a dirty MAF sensor I have to clean ...

Re: lets talk public perception

I usually get the "It still runs?" or "You got a 4 banger in that GM crap?". Living in Ford country really doesn't help my ole rust bucket look or sound good to anyone. Until I get some exhaust mods ;)

Re: Hi Flow Cat

I went and looked at it again, and there was only a difference in one was universal, the other was bolt on.

I also saw that ZZP had one, is that any good?

Re: Junking my bonnie

I remember my Uncle had this problem in his old Buick. He gave up, sold it, and bought a 5.0 Camaro instead.

If I were you, I'd give up and buy a camaro. But that's just me.

I understand your reasoning. But if she doesn't want it, I have been eyeing up a Civic DX hatch back ;) (yes, you can shoot me now for that blasphemy)

Pricing for a Craptastic Bonneville?

One of my girlfriends is IN LOVE with my SE. She just can't get enough of the body and the engine sound, so she wants to buy it from me. Now I want to make it seem like she's getting a deal, but while helping me. I'm thinking around the 2.5-3k range. It doesn't need the body work, but it could be ...

MAF Questions

I received a "Service Engine Soon" light today coming home from school. I stopped at Advanced Auto parts and got a scan. They told me it was the MAF sensor and that I should attempt to clean it. I saw your guide here, but I really have no idea where anything is without pictures. Any help would be ...
