Stolen car was recovered, but I'm not sure that it may be repairable or if it would be worth it.

My honda has a 1996 acura integra gsr engine swap in it. And the z28 has custom headers and better pulleys on it. So im trying to figure out if i should trade or not. I like imports but so many people are building them now-a-days and you just cant mess with american muscle. So would i be losing anything if i do trade. The engine on my honda has 400 miles on it and the camaro has 130,000. But i plan on upgrading the whole internals of the camaro's engine. ok let me put it like this dont mention gas because my honda only gets like 15 miles a gallon because i have 12.5:1 compression pistons in it. Nothing but raw motor.

tell you you need the rotors replaced when you get new brake pads? If you ask why they can't be machined, they always have some reason/excuse. Their advertised price of $50 ends up $250. What's a guy to do?

My car started fine this morning and when I got to work, I dropped my son off at daycare and when I tried to start my car again it was dead. After work the car started fine and I was able to get home fine. Now the battery is dead again. Any idea what might cause this? The car is a Mitsubishi Montero Sport if that matters.

I have manual transmission. It has 111K miles. I just had an entire front brake job done less than two months ago. Back in February of this year, I went to my mechanic and told him that something was squealing under the hood. I told him that it only squealed on days where it had rained the night before, that morning or if it was just really humid outside that day. The squealing would stop after driving a few miles. Usually, I could get it to stop by just sitting in the driveway and reving the engine with the stick in neutral for about 10-15 seconds. Anyway, he put in a new serpentine belt. It started up again not too long after that. Now, the squealing happens when I start up the truck and it doesn't stop after a few miles. Reving the engine doesn't make it go away. It's been cool and dry the past few days (just started this way a few days ago). It's most audible when idling. But I can still hear it even when on the tollway going 65 mph. Does something need to be lubricated? Or what?

I've had my 2003 zuma for 2 years and it's never had a problem starting. When I tried to this evening it won't start, didn't even make a sound! I was soooooo surprised. I tried the kick start and it works just fine, but the push starter wouldn't work. What could have gone wrong? I've had to push the scooter over a high curb a few times was was wondering if I had accidently detached something underneath the scooter? I poked my head under and didn't see anything unusual. What about the line that goes from the push starter to wherever it needs to go? Is it possible that somehow it became detached? Any suggestions would be apprecaited! Thank you!!

I just got my '87 Nissan Stanza back from the mechanics a few hours ago - this noise wasn't there before - obviously I have to bring it back - but please help me ID this noise. It's a very strange squealing almost-whistling sound - it's loud & persistent. It didn't happen right away - but once it started, it didn't stop (except after braking)..the sound wasn't a consistent sound - it sort of went up & down in pitch. it definitely sounded like it was coming from the driver's side front area. All my belts were replaced in January. And - just today they did front brake service (rotors/axle work) and rear brake service (new brake shoes/pads, repack bearings & checked grease seals, inspected hydraulics for leaks & wear, resurface drum). Any ideas?

How difficult is it to fix problems occuring with an automatic transmission, I know this question is very broad and would depend on the type of problem occuring, but generally speaking can an automatic transission be well maintained and problems fixed at home (with the right equipment), just like a manual transmission?

Thanks
