Cars & Transportation - 23 March 2007

Need to replace my 2 front and 1 rear wiper blades of my 1993 Dodge Caravan. I checked out the Rainx Latitude ones, but the 22" is $20.99, and then I need two 18" blades and the total comes to nearly $57.00 total. To me it seems expensive. Is it? Otherwise, what are some great blades? (I have 2 young children and love to play it safe)

I have a 2001 Chrysler Sebring 2.4L and well, it's just not fast enough. I just can't seam to find a single performance part for this car or a turbo kit. How hard is it to Turbocharge this car? I know it's possible because I've seen articles on people who have turbocharged non-turbo cars before. I was thinking if I get the head milled a couple 10ths of an inch I can bump my compression a little bit but I don't want to throw a rod or melt a piston. Valve clearance isn't a problem for me. I just don't want to blow a hole in the side of the block. NOS is cheap and easy but can produce problems too. Especially without the right tuning and timing. Maybe port and polish the head and open up the intake and exhaust inlets and outlets some will produce a little bit ah HP. Ultimately I'd like to push 300HP out of this engine. Any ideas?

I have a Mazda 626. I want to sex it up by adding a body kit to it. www.shophyperperformance.com has a nice kit, but it runs kinda high... And as far as I can see, it only comes with a dual exhaust, which is a bit outta my league right now. Is there somewhere I can go for a cheaper alternative?

Thanks guys, I'd REALLY appreciate anything you have to offer!

Replaced ECM which tested bad, tried new ballast resistor, tried new coil, checked voltage regulator-tested good. Last time car ran was purring like kitten and just died would not start again. Couple times before car was idling fine and stopped for a second or two then pick back up and would idle fine again. Noticed that would (cut out)do this when I pulled on the parking brake lever which could have vibrated the firewall I suppose. I don't see anything under steering column that looks to be shorting out. My only other thoughts are the ignition switch or bulkhead connector on the firewall. Checked voltage at coil inputs and only getting 2Vdc. I don't have a wiring diagram for the thing doggonit. Car has had electronic ignition put on it and worked fine for about 10 years. Any troubleshooting suggestions?

like i said im gonna be a fresh driver, and i know insurancs love to prey on types like me, but im a safe driver, i'm sure. I was hoping to find a car that wouldn't be expensive in insurance but good with speed. Basically what car can I get that would fool an insurance company.

My first option is an Rx-7 FC because its pretty weak in specs, (hopefully they'll only see it for that) and next would be a used lexus IS.



please don't reply with you're too young, i've heard this too many times, I also know i will be a good driver, ive aced lts of driving sims.(not saying its th exact same thing, but good enough for me to practice without going on the road)

I am almost 30 years old and have been avoiding the freeway for about 2001. I used to drive 30 minutes to work one-way on a very busy freeway. I did that for almost 2 years. Then all the sudden I started to get nervous. That would pass and then come again like a week later. Before I knew it I was literally sweating and realized I was having a panic attack. I continued to drive on the freeway and the panic attacks would come and go. I'd be able to drive down to a certain part of the freeway but when it started to curve I got nervous and would stop right in the fast lane and put on my hazards an pray that nobody hit me from behind. A couple of months later I was taking backroads everywhere, and today that is the case. I've tried to get on the freeway and go one exit but I get nervous. I now realize that it's a mental thing because I am scared to drive down certain streets (if it looks like a highway). If the car curves I get nervous. It takes me all day to get ...

hello all....I finally got my open licence yesterday...horray for me!
so next week I am hoping to buy a bike. I was thinking of a sv650 because they seem to get such a good rap but the owner of a bike shop suggested a Yamaha FZ6-NT Fazer, they have a 2005 model.
He was going on about a 4 cylinder being better for me. I am female, lightweight and 5"4.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

A friend of mine claims his license was suspended for a year after getting in an accident (not his fault) in his sister's car. He says it was suspended because he couldn't prove he was insured (assuming it was his own insurance not his sister's). Is this possible (in CA)? I ask because I'm insured with GEICO, but they didn't give me anything to carry on my person in case I'm in an accident in someone else's car....??

thanks in advance
