You got lucky with where it dented the oil pan. It missed the sump by 4-6 inches. To replace the axle and the oil pan yourself it would cost less than $500. If there is nobody damage then have the...
I am not going to lie. I am surprised that my clutch and transmission are still functional. I redline my car at least 3 times daily and force some shifts. My car has always stuttered when reversing...
If you don't already have a good shielded set of RCA cables then I would start with replacing the ones you have. As stated earlier, they can act as an antenna and the analogue audio signal can pick...
I was looking at page 30 of the PDF manual from Kenwood's website under the "X'over" heading. it refernces levels from -8 to 0. After seeing the pictures of your sound deadening install and the...
I have no complaints about your grounds. It sounds like they are solid. After looking through the manual for the receiver my only other thoughts are possibly the gain settings for the High pass...
These little engines can handle alot of abuse with regular maintenance. Mine gets redlined almost daily because of the Texas freeway speeds and short ramps. Driving at 70mph all day at around 3500rpm...
Welcome to the forum. Great color choice. I am guessing you have a manual by the planned engine swap... It would be an absolute riot with that much power.
I really hope the springs are the correct length. I know that some parts are interchangeable with the Jettas and most if not all of the Jetta factory specified springs are too long. If these are or...
The electric real axel adapter idea is good. It would add some weight, but you could kill the engine on almost all low speed traffic / fast-food drive thrus (because I like to eat)
If it is the dodge stealth I would think twice. If it is priced right and runs, it could be a good project car. It really depends on how much you want one. I have always thought that they were cool...
I didn't want to waste time or money on the factory Bluetooth option after I noticed the 5 second delay on my Outlander GT. I have the base stereo in my 2015 DE and make use of the aux port and a 30$...
You will not regret the beetle rear springs. I am still running them with no issues. I have never had any scraping or bottoming out even with 4 200 lb adults or 600 lbs of computer equipment in back...
I voted for more power because I enjoy driving spiritedly. It by no means is inadequate for daily driving. I often find myself looking at the lit eco light because of the car in front of me. Even...
Total cost: $45 from pick and pull or $30 + shipping from rockauto.com (spring length not guaranteed)
Tools needed at home: Jack, spacers for extending jack height, ratchet and a 17mm socket.

Nice find. After shipping and if I chose to turn my mirage springs in as cores I am sure they would be close to what I paid if not more. I also liked the idea of having them the same day and being...
I found a set of used springs for 45$ at my local pick and pull. They are the rear coils from a 1998 VW new Beetle 2.0 liter. They are identical in length to the factory rear coils in our mirages,...
