Re: Problem starting and idleing

I know there was this putty-type material you could get (cant remember the name of it off the top of my head), but you could use it to TEMPORARILY patch the crack in the radiator. I stress that it's temporary, and that regardless, you need to take it easy on the car until you can get the radiator re...

Re: Problem starting and idleing

Nothing wrong with switching to synthetic, but if you're down 2 quarts (which is about half of the oil that engine is capable of carrying), you've got an oil leak somewhere. As far as the radiator, i completely agree that a new one is best. But you said that you have a leak under the disty, so you m...

Re: Defrost/Defog getting dangerous

Used to have the same problem, but I did a couple of quick things that help. 1: Put a piece of cardboard between the bumper and the radiator. Car heats up faster (about 50% faster), as long as its less than 5C out, she's fine, normal temps. 2: Put some WD40 on a rag, wiped the inside of the front wi...

Re: TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT YOUR TIRES!!!

Absolutely crazy!

Thanks for the post though! Definitely brought a dangerous subject to my attention (plus, when I was checking my tires, i noticed one was a little flat, and it just started snowing, so you may have saved me and my beautiful car lol)

Re: Next on my appreance upgrade! LED gauge conversion!

Very slick!

I like! Personally, I'd swap the tach and speedo... same positions they are in OEM format, and they still look incredible!

Re: MX-3 Hatch won't stay open, any ideas?

WTF? You are not making any friends here. When you piss off one of our highly respected members, you piss off anyone they helped. Please try to take the advise you were given. I don't know how you can go through school for 5 years and fail to understand how a strut works. +1 for RS. Good call, mate!

Re: MX-3 Hatch won't stay open, any ideas?

Lol this thread made me laugh, so kudos to those involved in the s--t throwing haha :P If the struts are "new", it prolly isn't them. How is the weight of your hatch? Cuz mine will close it i put my gloves on top, but remain extended otherwise. Other thing I can think of is that the hinges...
