Yeah.. around 5 feet thereabouts.
I always think Vespas are suitable. Anything else?

, is it still worth the time to install a hafler circuit to enhance the spatial stage. I have (somewhere) a copy of Stereo Review that diagrams how to do this. It's from the early 80's, but it might help with my 4-speaker '91 voyager. Does anyone have any memories of this or have suggestions? thanks

Ok Ive been getting blasted by everyone because im a new rider and i want a 600 gsxr, If i stay off the highways and just cruise in parking lots and around town for the first year whats the big no no in that as long as i dont act stupid with the dam thing, The first and only bike i have ever rode was a 97 ninja zx <==(i think, it was a 600 ninja bike though) 600. Yeah it was scary, yea its a mean sob if you give it too much gas, but that fucer scared me enough to respect it and i didnt even get above 35. Im quite aware that im not aware of what they can do and i dont have any intrest in fully finding out anytime too soon, but the rest of the smaller bikes look like as* so why cant i just get a 6 and take it easy, you know 2 miles an hour so everybody sees me and slowly work my way up the ladder, I am pretty sure a 500 or even a 250 has more than enough to kill a stupid person that just cranks it as soon as they start out, what dif does 170 mph make to 125 if your slidin on the ground??

This is in a 1990 Chevy G20 Full size conversion. The light just came on one day, and the wierd thing is that when I actually press the emergency brake on, the brake light gets brighter, release it, it dims slightly.

Does anyone know what the basic spec of this car is, does it have central locking etc and do you think it is worth that amount? oh by the way it has 66500 miles on the clock.

I have a VW golf TDi 01. When i drive on the motorway i get a rubbing sound coming from the right hand side of the car when i steer left. I only have to do a gentle left to get the rubbing but when i drive straight or turn right, its fine. Also when i brake at any speeds, i get a severe shaking from the steering column and hence through the wheel. Im pretty sure its the front right wheel as that went bald alot quicker then the others. Also recently i have noticed that something is wrong with my front right suspension. Over any bumps it makes a concerning noise. When i shake the car up and down it makes a sounds like im rubbing metal on metal? Could it be this causing the rubbing and braking? I have look at other solutions and people say it mite be a rotor arm or something. I have replaced the discs and the tires etc but still does it. Please can anyone offer suggestions as to the problem please? Thanks

I posted about my coolant not getting back to radiator after engine cools down a few weeks back. I tried putting a new cap and observed for 2 weeks. Now I still loss coolant. There were things I failed to mention or maybe didn't notice then when I first popped the question.
1. If I let the engine run without the cap, i can see fine bubbles (foam) building up on the filler neck.
2. After turning off the engine and letting it sit overnight, the radiator is still pressurized. Turning the rad cap a quarter(loose but still locked on), a huge pressure is released on the sides of the cap and some goes and displaces the water in the reservoir.

Is this a sign of a huge head gasket failure coming?

I have a good looking 1997 Taurus SHO. But last week it started with a miss fire I think cause the engine starts moving and the car starts jerkingg a little everytime it does it the rpm thing goes down when its iddling but when your going like 45-60 miles per hour the car start jerking too. THis feels like its not getting gas i guess. Well any way I took the car to severl places one place put the big diagnostic machine on it and they said my computer is messed up cause they tried erasing the codes and they kept coming back up. = ( $79 ) Then in another place a mechanic told me it was the spark plugs so I had them changed. = ( $200 ) Then i took it to Autozone and they put the little code machine on it and they told me it was the Egr valve. = ( $49 ) Then i changed it And took it back to Autozone and it still marked the egr valve but now they told me it was going to be the vacum lines or somthing like that. I recalibrated the spark plugs to 0.044. ( 3hrs. ) The engine is till shaking.
