i drive a 1991 audi 90, the water sloshes around in the reservoir and the hoses seem to have tight pressure on them as if the thermostat is plugged. the car is currently over heating.

I'm talking about upgrading performance as well as style. I know the honda civic is one but i want to start off with a car that already has a good engine, etc etc. For example the toyota camry has a 3.0 L engine but it is impossible to find a supercharger or a turbocharger on it. Whereas the civic has a 1.8L engine but finding a turbocharger for it is way easier.

I'm looking for a car that has a 2.5L+ engine which can be upgraded easily.
thanks!

it is a 97' Cavalier and was running fine earlier today. Tonight it wouldn't even turn over, lights don't work, BUT the dash lights and radio came on. Possibly the alternator?

I live in Idaho. I have not yet payed off the auto loan so I'm required to have full coverage insurance. According to some people I am paying too much (about 700 for 6 months), as they are paying far less. I have geico, but from time to time I look around and get quotes, and it is always slightly higher than what I have now. However, that might be because I am opting for coverage I might not need.

So the question boils down to, what is the bare minimum requirements for "full coverage" auto insurance in Idaho?

my brakes on my truck are squeaking, but when I put on the brakes, it doesn't do it anymore. I was told that we needed new brakes, but I don't think so. Any ideas what else might be wrong

i love the new bmw 335i coupe i am wondering if its really worth waiting untill late fall for the xi all wheel drive. the dealer is trying to tell me that i will be pleased in the traction control currently in the 335i. i think hes just trying to make a quick sale considering the vehicle is fifty grand with all the options i want. am i wrong in assuming this?? i really do like the car and if its true that the existing traction control is adequite i would buy right away.

I took my car in last summer and got my tranmission rebuilt, they said my OD was burnt out. Well it didnt seem to help and when i go at high speeds it still seems to be riving too high and not shifting to OD. Am i burning it out agian? Someone told me my gears( or rear end) needed to be checked? Could this be the problem? Wouldnt they check that when they rebuilt my tranny not even a year ago?

A friend and i are arguing... everyone is against him.. i'm trying to prove him wrong, but if i happen to be wrong, then so be it..

His view: he thinks that if he drives under 3000rpm then he'll save more gas... he says that the rpm is purely what controlls how much gas is consumed..

my view: i say that the rpms matter, but not as much as what he says.. the gas pedal is what controls the gas consumption.. for ex. if you slam the pedal to the floor, but stay under 3000rpms, you'll still waste more gas than just going over 3000rpm normally.. i say that the rpms matter, but it's also how you drive/shift... like.. it more depends on how you drive then to concentrate on the rpms.

I just bought a 2002 Honda Civic LX. I want to get a key fob for keyless entry. Does the transmitter to use a key fob come standard on this model? And what model key fob would I need? Will it open the trunk/where should I look to see it the car has an actuator for this feature?

Also I went to Lowes to copy the key. They said since it has a chip in it I have to go to the dealer to get a key. I just wanted a copy for the doors, but they said "we're not allowed." Where is the cheapest place to get a copy with a chip, or is anyone "allowed" to copy a key with a transponder chip just for doors.

Thank you in advance!!

I've had no problems with a 2003 Honda Civic until
I tried to start it tonight and the Key icon was flashing on the
instrument panel and car would not start. Someone jumped me
but when I turned key off - the car is dead again.

Any advice??? Do you think someone tried to break in??
Why would this happen???? Not sure what to do next.
Thx.

i live in PA and from what i have heard i need to get a learners permit all over again, even though i have been driving for over 15 years. this means getting a physical, and i assume taking the test again? all because my license was out of state and i took too long to get a PA one. plus it has been expired for like 2 years. i just hate going to the dmv. anyone have any experience with this?

When my car is cold the muffler makes a rattling sound which sounds like it's rattling inside it. This only happens for maybe the first 2 minutes if that of start then it quites out. I've read that it could be the baffles on various forums do you think this is the case? If so can I just replace the muffler on this vehicle or is it welded to the pipe and everything needs to be replaced?

Thanks in advance
