Couple days ago I was pulling in to our lot at work and thought that because of the recent rain, some water dripped in to the Cap/Rotor and shorted it out. There's a bit of a dip coming in and later that day the car started perfectly so I figured it was a logical answer, the water had dried out...

Every time I charge something through the cigarette lighter I get crackling through my stereo. I'm planning on installing a dash-cam soon but I really don't want to have to deal with the interference when I listen to FM. I remember reading somewhere about the ground for the stereo being the...

So I know the manual says to use plain old 5w-30, I believe I used Redline last time I replaced the fluid, I've heard of Amsoil and GM Syncromesh (amongst others...), has anyone found any benefit to any of these over just a couple cheap bottles of motor oil? I wasn't impressed by Redline, still...

So i'm in a bit of a pinch and may not be able to get my hands on some roof-racks before I move, I have an old cargo carrier I was thinking about using. Strapped it to my wife's roof (98 Rav4) and was shocked how quickly the roof started to bend under the tension from the straps, haven't had a...

I just got my first smartphone, the Galaxy S5, and I really want to find a good driving app that records G-Force, 1/4times, 0-60 times, and more. I've already found a bunch but I don't know which one is the best. Is there one that everybody uses? It would be awesome if there was something like...

I've been seeing a lot more about TopTier gasoline around town so I decided to read into it a little more. Turns out that if the gas station you use says it's supplying TopTier, you actually are getting a better fuel blend. To find out what that exactly means, click HERE. When I first saw the...

How the heck do you protect yourself from one of these? A guy over at H-T was saying he thinks it may be a sort of master remote that has many codes in it that when activated, starts sending out all signals until one works. l7OadDz3Ums - Aaron

I know we have some members on here from the Bay area, did any of you catch a glimpse of him dong this stuff? I'm surprised they shut down the bridge for the clip! As always, pretty cool moves. - Aaron LuDN2bCIyus&app=desktop

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out how to reprogram the remote for my car. I know How to reprogram the actual remote but I need to know the code to scratch into it. I've been emailing Directed Electronics for a while now and when they get to a point they can no longer help me, they just...

Most of you know how I feel about cops, what do you think about this guy? http://www.cnn.com/video/data/2.0/video/bestoftv/2013/10/11/exp-erin-sot-callan-woman-alleges-cop-hurled-into-jail-cell.cnn.html "New York and Los Angeles paid over $100 million in police brutality cases in a two...

Hey! So I was thinking it would be fun to have a list of different things to try while driving. I'll go ahead and add the first idea. 1. Drive down a dark road with all your lights off. 2. Go to an Auto-Cross event. 3. Pull the E-Brake in an open parking lot and try to do a slide when the road...

I was looking in the service manual and all I found was a very general number, 1,000-2,000RPM. Not sure if it was regarding something else but that is the only number I found for Cold Idle. I cleaned out my FITV again (which sets the cold idle) and this time I only backed out the white cap a...

Since I've had the car, I've always noticed some oil around the Oil Filler Cap on the valve cover. Took the cap off and then thought to my self, "is this supposed to have a O-Ring or Seal on it?" So now I ask you, does your oil cap have a seal or O-Ring on it? Thanks. - Aaron
