    Nissan has to re-learn idle? I broke my Xterra.

    My poor truck has lived a hard life, and at 115k miles I noticed oil leaking from both valve covers. Replacing the gaskets requires removal of the intake manifold... between that and the AC lines and fuel line in the way, it was was a real pita. While I had the plenum off, I changed the spark...

    Who doesnt want a GTR?

    Ok, so ever since selling my integra, the need for speed has slowly been getting on top of me... I find myself watching videos of the GTR and dreaming. I don't know how anyone that's into fast cars wouldn't want one. They are just stupid fast... the new hottest version hitting something like...

    Sad to see it go..

    Sold my integra today. It was fun, but it was time to go. Seeing it drive away was pretty sad though. I figure a lot of you guys could relate to selling a long term project car like this :ph34r:

    Any scooter owners?

    I have been looking at buying scooter for a while now, and researching the options. If anyone has any real world feedback, that would be cool. So what im looking at is 125-150cc models, because that's what I feel would fit my needs best. Of course buying one of those new little Honda Groms...

    New car... CRZ, Civic Si, Veloster, or FRS?

    Its getting to be about time to start seriously shopping for a new or nearly new car. Looking to replace my fiances 03 RSX. We have it pretty much narrowed down to four cars we want to look at/test drive. Im thinking that buying something a year or two old, with low miles would be best, to...

    Bigfoot is real?

    Have you guys seen this? Apparently there is some actual dna evidence from yeti/bigfoot :wall: Let me just say, I consider myself a very logical and science minded person, and I have always thought bigfoot to be bullshit. Still not 100% convinced, but this stuff is interesting. Bigfoot DNA...
