    Trip meter no longer works

    I do remember seeing a writeup on how to open up the odometer and adjust mileage so you can take a gauge cluster and match it to your car's mileage. I think it involved taking a small pick or two and separating the numerals then gently spinning them. Might have to go at it this way to get a...

    Trip meter no longer works

    Happy belated Thanksgiving! Just woke up out of a turkey coma and didn't know if anyone else had this problem. While driving yesterday, I noticed my trip meter/counter wasn't operating. It was stuck somewhere around 100. I reset it and it started rolling over normally, only to get stuck around...

    H4 HIDs hi/lo not switching

    I came to this conclusion, especially after CK skipped out on selling all those EasySee kits. Guess my next step is waiting for you to sell me a kit or tear into my own TSX projector project.

    H4 HIDs hi/lo not switching

    Hey all, Had some extra time today and started to work on my HID problem again. I haven't been able to get them to switch between high/low since about 6 months after I installed them (a few years ago). I removed them and replaced the relays in the control box, but that didn't make a...

    Tie rod spacers

    Looks like I'll be taking it all apart next weekend :) Nash, I was able to adjust the new tie rods in several more threads and it looked like my toe is pretty even with how it was before. I was wondering about those steering stops too, thanks guys

    Tie rod spacers

    Hey all, Just got my car rejected for loose tie rods, so this morning I replaced both inner and outers with new pieces. While I was at it, I installed the tie rod end spacers for a little more steering angle (used red loctite after cleaning the threads thoroughly). I also used the claw washers...

    89 ford f150 exhaust woes

    Thanks, already checked that one out. What I don't get is why most imports and a lot of domestics don't run smog pumps and don't seem to have unnatural cat clogging issues

    89 ford f150 exhaust woes

    Hey guys, tried posting this on a ford forum but got zero help. I just put a new y pipe and cat on but didn't make provisions for a smog pump, thinking I'd remove it later. However, now I read a few places that the cat will clog without a pump functioning. Since quite a few cars today run...

    from time to time, i've gotten a chance to work on this. now, got parts in the mail and i'm ordering paint tomorrow. my question: i had to switch from a mechanical fuel pump to an electric (airtex, i think). i have to switch pumps to a 12v airtex which puts out 9 psi. the carb is recommended to...

    Is the key to beginning pistol accuracy dry firing (with snap caps)? I keep reading this on the internet and didn't know how people here start. SC, medic, others, what have you guys done other than hours at the range? recommended drills?

    During field stripping and cleaning I found that my detent was marked for variants 3 and 4. The first time I decocked it it made me uneasy even though I hadn't even opened the ammunition yet. At the range yesterday I did load it up, chambered one and decocked to see what would happen (I still...

    Here it is after a good cleaning, had a hard time holding the camera for the last shot but when my grip is tight, my ring finger covers the "P" entirely.

    thanks for the advice, I picked it up this afternoon. Should have some pictures tomorrow. I couldn't pass up the deal I got even though it is a LE variant 3, but I'd like to switch to v2 or ambidextrous. Also have three magazines that are labeled LE/govt use only. As for the large hands, mine...

    Got a question and figured there's no better place to turn than here, so here goes! I finally got my tax check and have wanted an XD45 forever and a day. I know several people with these and they are pleased with the performance (online, the general opinion is good too). I went to the shop...
