Re: Mini Sideskirts Install

Ok great, I will be going to the auto parts store tomorrow. Also home depot and lowes had the same hardware that I needed to mount the rear mudflaps so maybe they will have these as well. Also, how important is the double sided tape on the inside edges of the sides? The previous owner had it on ther...

If i take them out they are just open holes. I am wondering what i need to get to mount the skirts. I couldnt...

Re: Car Making Strange Noise

it may be the alternator belt but my best guess would be the alternator itself mine used to do the same thing, and it ended up being my alternator going out, i replaced it and it was fine. pull your alternator and have it checked maybe this could be a great possibility. I was having issues with thi...

Re: Car Making Strange Noise

Hello Everyone. I have a 1995 mx3 1.6 manual, 130k miles.

Re: Is Your Car Lowered?

Well your wheelgap wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for your tires, which are way to small lol. If you have 16s you should be running 205 50 16, or 215 45 16 if you can find. That will eat up a lot of that fender gap. Once you fix that then see how you feel about lowering. A simple lowering spring w...

Is Your Car Lowered?

I recently put 16x7 rims on my car with a +42. 205/40/16. I think the gap between the wheels and my fenders is a little too much for my taste. Its 3.5 inches in the rear from the top of the tire to the fender and 3 inches in the front. I wanted to maybe lower it but only for looks. I dont want to be...

What is this??

I took my distributor cap and rotor off and found a crack in this so i was trying to replace it but i didnt know what it was called. All the auto parts stores have no idea what it is and told me that it was not included with the cap and rotor sale. I have a 4cyl 1.6. Looking at the car from the fron...

Re: Studdering And Shaking

try covering the plastic intake in duct tape. that should fix it until you can get a new one. or atleast let you know if thats your problem. try spraying the carb cleaner while the car is having the problems to see if it affects it. the cracks might not become a problem until the car is warm and th...

Re: Studdering And Shaking

I had my air conditioning on today when i was waiting at a light and it seemed like it was missing a cylinder every second. It was really bad, almost like my car wanted to stall. The...
