It started as necessity for me. Had an accident, didn't wanna pay up, so I started buying parts and taking it apart (just had to replace parts, no paint was necessary). Clutch was going out, cv was clicking like mad, engine was wearing down, so I started buying parts and taking it apart. A book is n...

Searching for the best photoshop program I can get, to put in focus what I want to accomplish.
Any ideas? I'm still newish to the computer age, so I've no experience with any photo editing software.
That will change very soon...
Thanks

However, I broke my lower control arm after a full night of delivering pizza in the snow and ice, in 2001. (only one other delivery car could deliv...

Many names my car has been called, though I'm sure you are all familiar with the names assigned upon busted knuckles, tight spots, and things that are hard to reach. On the positive note it has been called 'the MX', 'the Mazda', 'his car', and my fav: 'Whatever color that is-' She's my car, sometime...

You can use the one off e-bay. yeah, the one that says sohc only? I have it on my 94. I've done some creative things since first installing it, but the kit will work. It has an extra piece or two, but that doesn't get in the way of imagination. It's the cheepest alternative. I don't know if it's rea...

I am serious, but I cannot estimate a timeframe for this project. I want to have it all together within two months. I have to create the prototypes first and go from there. However, materials bon't behave very well in this type weather. Wishing again that I had a garage!

Found out they are stock xz2 struts, for sure. I didn't know they were tokico, what brand are our factory struts? I've yet to look for a name on mine.
Still obtaining other parts to replace while I'm at it.
what signs of metal fatigue should I be looking for on the mounts themselves?

I have recovered my headliner with black headliner material I bought at PepBoys, they also sell a strong 3m spray adhesive for it. Looks great! With some vinyl and some paint for other surfaces, my interior is now all black, and I love it! I highly recommend it. Mine also has a moonroof, which I cov...

check the condition of your plugs. They may be running rich. If in doubt about them, replace, and run it awhile. The problem may go away temporarily. If it reoccurs, check the plugs again. If they seem to have run rich as well, check your coolant temp sensor. It can malfunction, by failing to tell t...
