I always pop mine out at oil change and give it a good wash, that way I'm sure it will be clean. Probably a bit excessive but its better for me to be safe. I used to fiddle with 80's jap beaters and most times I'd find the air filter completely blocked. I still have nightmares. Plus K&N's come with ...

Be careful with those springs. There was a day when I would use tiedowns as spring compressors, until one broke. I nearly pooped myself but didn't get hurt, fools and small children, so be careful. As far as changing any other components, I would take your car to a local front end alignment place to ...

Dude, quit stressing, I have a 2000 Toyota Corolla and have had to order a few interior pieces and every time I give the dealer my VIN, I get the wrong color pieces.

HA, HA. I actually got that one.

Good luck. I have a 98 but I bet its pretty much the same. Looked under the dash, was going to pop the slip joint apart to gain the extra 1/2 inch to get the lever on, no dice. It was going to take a major disassembly to do it that way. One of the guys on another forum just forced it off and ...

Why are you parting it out? Looks like a little duct tape and a couple bolts and you'll be burning rubber again. Or burning something.

You would be amazed at what people do to parking brakes. I sold my wifes Mazda 929 with 192k on it to a young lady still in high school. After about a week she brought it back to me and told me it was acting sluggish and smelled funny after she drove it for awhile. Yep you guessed it, the parking ...
