Is it possible to recover seats yourself? I have a 96 zz1 with stains
on the seats and would like to replace them. Can I do this myself and
it look good? They are captains chairs I believe.

I would like to be able to measure the pressure drop caused by an air
filter.  Then I could compare different makes and models of filters, and
compare a new filter to a used one.
My air filter has a peculiar configuration that lets me put the open end

I have run across a '94 car with only 7000 actual miles. It is a widows
car that only drives a very short distance to the store and back. I
would guesse it is city miles. This is actual mileage (we know the
widow). The average usage is ~13 miles a week. I am not sure what kind

I'm on my 4th or 5th car brush now (the long type, with the attached
hose connector at the end). I love them, but they always seem to:

The newbie has got a newbie question:
Are there any shops/garages out there that are converting regular cars
into hybrid cars? I imagine this could be an expensive operation, but
I'm wondering if  it even exists at all.

I have a Mazda with 2.5L V6 engine.
I overheated the car so badly, it stalled as I was pulling into the
parking space. Upon examination, I found out that it needed a gallon of
radiator fluid and that it was leaking really badly from the water pump

Warning to everybody that is shopping for a car... especially a Chevrolet!
This has got to be the WORST Chevrolet Dealership in the United States!

Service Manager named Derek Hadid that seems to be totally focused ...

I suspect my exhaust has a small leak near the manifold. I can't smell
much or at all, but I'm hearing some exhaust clatter. The strange thing
is, it only happens when the car has been sitting for a few minutes, hot
or cold, then goes away after a few minutes of driving.

Just finished getting beat to hell in the compact class.
I ran an 83 Chevy Cavalier 2.0 auto.  The body held up
absolutely great compared to the others.  I stopped

Looks like I better buy an impact wrench since these caliper bracker
bolts don't want to come off (used PB, propane torch, etc).  I've
stripped nuts, broken tools, etc.  Basically, what do I need to get the
job done as far as specs go on the wrench if I go electric (as far as

I've done many a stupid thing with cars - but I think I've just beat the
lot...
After driving all over Europe without a problem, I got home and the next day
I reversed into a post and smashed the back door on my suzuki vitara jlx

My relative's mechanic is out of town for a while, and I know very
little about the maintenance of this hand me down manual shift car, but
recently, it's been losing power to the point that it's almost
undrivable. (And it's not a Turbo car). It starts off ok for a few

Hey guys, ... got a question regarding a VW engine... I'm thinking of
swapping in a VW TDI engine into my '89 Hyundai Excel... is this even
feasible? What would it cost, and what engine would you guys recommend?
Thanks in advance.

     Seems like this will not cause any problems, but thought I'd ask
anyway....  I removed the fan belt from the "a/c compressor, power
steering pump, waterpump " circuit, since it was squealing and annoying
