I decided to do my brakes this weekend. The fronts were easy and the job went smoothly. The back is a different story. In the past I've just been able to pull the drum right off. This time it would barely move. I ran a search and found that using a hammer would work. I beat the drum until it was...

I need to get a new amp for my CDT EF-61CF component speakers. These are rated @140W with a 4ohm impedance. I'm going to be running a 2-channel amp, with each crossover consuming 1 channel. The power rating I'm looking for is 150RMSx2. Now, do I want 150 x 2 @ 4ohm or @ 2ohm? Since I'm not...

Hey all. I've been out of the modding game for a while but I always seem to keep coming back ;) A few weeks ago I purchased a Homelink mirror pulled from an '04 Nissan 350Z and I took it apart. I scraped off a rectangular portion of the backing and installed a Valentine One Concealed Display...

My brother's '02 Crown Vic has been having power issues lately. Today he was driving and everything shut off inside, and finally the motor a few seconds later. He had a loose terminal that wouldn't tighten, so I replaced both terminals. This didn't fix the problem. I pulled the alternator and...

Well I finally bit the bullet and bought a beast of an HU. The Eclipse AVN7000. I got it for $1400 but sold my old HU for $300, so it really cost me $1100. Not too shabby. I purchased it from a guy that had it in his 2006 Ferrari F430. He had cut the antenna cable to hard-wire it so I won't have...

One end is a minijack (3.5mm?) and the other end is an antenna plug... like you'd find on most any headunit. I need this for my new Eclipse unit and can't find this thing anywhere.

Hey all. I'm thinking of getting an Eclipse AVN7000. It has all the features I've been looking for (HD-radio compatible, navigation, hard drive) so I'll probably be buying one this week (for much less than retail)...

The past couple months the speakers connected to my amp (front speakers) have been going off randomly. This usually happens when I'm at a stop or going fairly slow, but it just occurs randomly. It very rarely does it when I'm going above 5mph. The speakers just cut off and then come back on a...

I decided to replace my HU ground wire. I cut the black wire a few inches from the HU harness and then started up my X. The HU still came on. I thought it needed a ground to turn on? Anybody have any ideas why it did this? Alpine CDA-9835. Thanks.

At work I can get an Escort Passport X50 (blue) for $170 + tax. I've got an older red 8500. I think the new ones have POP detection built in. Do you think this is worth buying? I can probably get more for my old 8500 on eBay than I would be paying for the new top-of-the-line X50. I guess what...

Amazing! Autocar 4Car Car and Driver

This is real weird. I've got CDT components up front. The past couple weeks they have been cutting on and off out of nowhere. Sometimes it happens just once but other times it happens every 30 seconds. I thought maybe it was a wiring issue so I pulled the HU. Everything's got a secure connection...

I've got a Vortech supercharger in the mail and have some questions: 1. I've got an Apten chip which is probably garbage now since Apten no longer exists (?). Would I be able to run the supercharger with my Apten chip safely or would I need to pull it and run stock timings? I'm thinking about...

:D :D :D :D :D and :D After years of waiting I am finally closer than ever to free daily blows :eek: Just won myself a Vortec supercharger. Wanted a roots setup but a supercharger's a supercharger. $1500, not too bad. Put in a snipe before I went to work, set my cell phone's address on...

Pic below. I'm able to get a BBK supercharger at a damn good price, problem is it only includes the head unit and plenum base. Looking at the installation manual (Hello) it looks like there are quite a few parts missing. I know BBK no longer makes these superchargers, have an e-mail out asking...

Hey, just heard something about my favorite station broadcasting in HD radio. It's supposed to be CD-quality sound, I guess a free-version of satellite-radio. The only units I've seen that are HD-ready are Kenwood, has anyone listened to HD radio? This August will be the Alpine release.

My brother's turning 16 in July and we're getting him a car. $3,000 + whatever money he wants to put down ($0 ;)). He wants an older Toyota Pickup w/ big arse tires (big meaning ~40's, I told him he was crazy too :p). What should we look for? He wants one already built and I'm wondering if...

Are these studs welded in? I just received my manifolds and the guy cut the bolts to remove them from the y-pipe. I've been spraying these with PB Blaster and pounding them with a hammer for a while with NO movement at all.

You'll soon find out ;)

Hey, has anybody modified an existing gauge pod or gotten a custom-made A-piller pod for a first gen? I need one for.. something ;) If so, how'd you modify it/where did you get it made? Or would anybody be able to make me one? Thanks!

I ran the starter for 8 seconds with each cylinder. The gauge read ~192 for each cylinder :D I'm pretty happy :D One question, all the spark plugs were white on the very tip. My Haynes says that happens from too much heat/running lean. Could this be because of my headers? I attached a couple...

I'm looking for seats from a third gen X. Gray, leather, power, heated. Where's a good place to find some? I'm watching eBay and am wondering if there are any other places I should check? Thanks!

I replaced my radius arm today. I went for a test drive and didn't notice anything. I just got back from running an errand and my clunk is back. It happens at random moments when straightening out from a sharp turn at a low speed. The radius arm bottom hole was a little rounded. I also noticed...

Bought some RAM from him (computer, sickos!). Got here real quick, couldn't be happier. Thanks!
