With my new rearsets, after I use the rear brake is doesn't return to the topmost position. It only comes back up 5/6s of the way. Is this normal? I'm worried the rear brake is dragging, even though it doesn't feel like it is.

a new battery
huge oil leak
exhaust manifold gasket

I need to know the elements in engine design that can make more torque available in the lower rpm, and how to produce a high linear torque curve such as those available in the Bentley Arnage T?

My wife and I are once again searching for another vehicle, I drive an S4 and she has an C class Benz, both of which don't really cater to our needs as a family (2 kids).
We're looking for either an SUV or Station Wagon that we can comfortably go on a long trip in, that means GPS navigation, very roomy, entertainment in the backseat to keep the kid's quiet, and a very spacious trunk.
Preferably with good fuel economy too, I know it's hard to find these days, but I don't want to be dealing with 12 MPG.

Our budget is $50,000.

Some cars that interest us are
- Audi A6 Avant
- Porsche Cayenne
- Volkswagen Touareg
- BMW X5
- Acura MDX

any suggestion?
Thanks

Is threadlocker a must have for rearsets? Or is it ok to just tighten the bolts solidly? I've heard many stories about people losing shifter/brake levers.

Also, when I put the rearsets on the there was nowhere to hook up the cable that activates the brake light for the rear brake. Is it worth it to take the cable off or should i just zip tie it somewhere for now? and where is a good place to zip tie it?

It seems to me that the import scene is dying. I drive a 2000 Firebird and it just seems like most of the cars I race are American muscle. There are no ricers out there it seems. More recently, it seems like muscle is taking over the street racing scene. what with the introduction of the new camaro and challenger...I think things are starting to change...what do you think?

I just washed my car with warm soapy car wash and washed off the bird dropping. After I dry it, I can still see a clear film that outline the dropping. I tried using my quick detailer and nothing happened. what else is there, I do NOT want to try household stuff like shampoo or detergent not made for my car.

heres what happens when i hit the gas...

theres a hesitation to go. to accelerate. sometimes when the light turns green Ill let let the clutch out and it will chug....so I have to brining the clutch back in and wait for the revs to climb. Has almost got me rear-ended not to mention makes me look like an idiot. I cant tell if it's feels like a fuel flow problem or something vacuum related. The problem seems to get better as the bike warms up but never completely goes away.

Thoughts?

I ride a 99 Suzuki GS500E

I have decided to buy a small suv. Honda CR-V or Toyota RAV4 is my choice due to its Reliability and good gas mileage. I found ads from craiglists last week.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/car/384890590.html

I know that if it is not a good idea to buy a car with salvage title but the price is right? Should I buy it?

I also found another ads: Toyota RAV4 with 153,000 for $4,000. Is this a good deal? Should I be concerned about the high miles?

DMV.

Okay first off.

What is a permit?

What Do I need it for?

How do I get one?

Do I need to do anything before I get a permit?

Anything After I get a permit?

Basically the whole low down.

Ya, I'm a teenager with curious questions. If someone could fully explain this to me. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
