    How difficult? - valve covers

    I'm leaking a fair amount of oil from my front and rear valve cover gaskets. I'm going to go ahead and change them this weekend. Has anyone had any experience changing them? how difficult/how long will it take me? Is there anything I should know? Thanks

    Antenna wire issue.

    Hey guys, I'm wondering if there is any kind of adapter sold anywhere so that I can get my antenna wire to fit properly in the back of my head unit. the hole in my head unit where the antenna pin plugs in, is too big for the pin itself. Has anyone else had this fitting issue?

    Does anyone else have this issue after getting a reprogrammed pcm?

    I've noticed that after i installed my reprogrammed pcm, my gp will roll backwards on a decent sloped hill while it's in gear. Perhaps its pcm related and my tranny just decided to start having issues? I'm just curious if any of you guys have ran into this problem? I have a 97 gt coupe. thanks

    couple of quick questions about tstats

    first off. my car engines temp always hovers around the bottom of the guage and my heater blows room temperature heat. is this a bad thermostat causing this? I always thought a bad tstat meant that the car overheats? Also how hard is it to change the thermostat? I would like to get it done in a...

    low, very low oil. blown head gasket or something else?

    Hey guys, haven't been on in awhile. Got in my car (97 gt) this morning and noticed my low oil light was on. it was far below the checkered level on the dip stick. I put in about 2 quarts of oil and it still could have used a little bit more. This completely baffles me b/c I changed my oil less...

    gotta budget, need some input

    my factory radio and cd player just died on me recently. I have about 150 bucks I want to spend on an aftermarket receiver. I would prefer to be able to have the front aux input so i can connect an ipod but it's not a must. What is the most reliable brand for this money? Will I need to find a...

    zzp pcm

    First off, I realize many of the members on here are opposed to the zzp pcm. I was one of the few to go ahead and take my chances with the pcm (I had store credit from my stock cat return lol.) I have a 97 gp n/a and a new pcm is probably the best mod for these cars. I realize some are probably...

    Anyone have experience with clear coating?

    I've given up the search for polished 5 spoke rims for my gp. I have some now on my 97 but they are stock white. my question is, if i strip all the paint off of these rims, do i clear coat my wheels? Will the clear coat hold up? I know it's a lot of work to get them looking like stock polished...

    Alright i'm at the track at test and tune night and like always there is nothing but honda's running 17's and so on.

    Quick question before i run to autozone.

    First off, My car never came with an owners manual and my A/C is not very cold. For some reason the passenger side seems colder than the driver's side. Overall, the a/c is pitiful. I'm thinking i'm low on freon possibly? Anywho, back to the subject of not having an owners manual, does my car...

    odd noise coming from front wheels

    I just noticed this weekend that my car makes a strange noise coming from the front wheels somewhere. its a low rumble and is loudest at about 10-30mph. I've always had a faint rumble due to having cheap tires (i think its the tires) but recently this noise has become more noticable along with...
