    Weird Coolant Temp Problem.

    The car is most likely running hot. Once you let the tank go dry, air will enter the system. Has to be bled (burped) out.

    right front wheel lock up

    My car will lock up the passenger front before the driver's side. I've heard the same complaint from several others. Some good fixes already mentioned.

    Okay, need some help here!

    I haven't done one on a Viper, but usually the mirror is attached to the back plane by simple sliding latches. You have to carefully pry the bottom of the glass with a screwdriver wrapped in cloth out towards you. Looking in, you should see how the latches from the mirror latch onto the...

    Definitely were a lot of Ferrari's there. They closed up much of Ocean Blvd. in Carmel for some stuff on the 18th. Fun wathcing some of the cars unload from the trailers the night before.

    California registration DMV

    Yes, it is a bunch of hooey. And to make it worse, most people working at the DMV don't know the regs petaining to this and they might give you a hard time. Getting the smog ref to approve usually doesn't cause any hassle because he works for the BAR and his word is gold. They almost always pass...

    Hose Tape, Sidesill Screws, and Hoodpad Clips Removal

    The clips are actually in the shape of a semi-circle before they are used. I have found them in auto-parts stores in the misc body panel fastener section. The tool is just a body panel fastener removal tool. The tool resembles a screwdriver where the tip is angled and flattens out like a chisel...

    DANG IT! Oil leak dripping inside passenger frame rail at rear of engine.

    Look it over really carefully, up and down the engine. If it isn't apparent where it's coming from, clean it up and drive it for a day then check it again. I hear there is some UV dye you can put in the oil as well. Most likely thing is you have a bad oil pan or valve cover gasket or something...

    GenI/II Smog question

    "Is there an easy way to avoid this entire problem by slipping a smog guy some cash?" - Not a good idea. "Should I look for a fairly stock car, like stock exhaust or cat-back exhaust?" - Yes. Catbacks will have no effect on emissions "I definitely need to have one with cats, right? If so, do...

    forged pistons/rods on 2002

    Re: forged pistons/rods on 2002 Well.. I read that as strength and less thermal expansion, since those are the two properties that auto makers are always talking about striving for when you read one of these piston alloy articles. The other advantage of silicon in an alloy is lubricity, which...

    forged pistons/rods on 2002

    Re: forged pistons/rods on 2002 This could be true since alloys are improved all the time and the adaption of new technology is very rapid. It also voids this statement in bold:

    forged pistons/rods on 2002

    I'ld probably talk to that engineer again, or some other engineer at Mahle, since conventional cast pistions ("eutectic") were used on early model cars. Car manufacturers who use cast pistons on late model cars use hypereutectic pistons. Plus it would make no sense to go from a forged piston to...
