Cars & Transportation - 30 September 2007

My younger brother wants to go into collision repair. He has applied to UTI in Houston, TX. His birthday is in a few weeks, and I want to get him something to help him get into the field, maybe a guide book or something he will need. The school provides him with tools, so I can't do that. What are some good suggestions?

It's almost like the battery is dead. I've never had a car die in 2 days. I will contact the dealer tomorrow, but has anyone else ever heard of this?

I drive a 1996 Honda Accord and when I make a right or left turn at relatively low speeds, I hear a clicking hoise for about three seconds. It is a front-wheel drive car, but the noise seems to be coming from the back of the car. I had the car inspected by Honda, and they replaced the CV boots (and I assume checked the CV joints as well). I'm not sure if that is the problem anyway, because if it was a problem with the CV joints or axles, wouldn't it be coming from the front of the car? Although it may just be in my mind, I don't think the noise is coming from the front. I also hear that if the CV joints were causing the problem, it would be worse when backing up and turning, and that is not the case either. The noise usually emerges when I accelerate out of a turn when the car is in first gear (automatic transmission).

I was born with a right hand birth defect. I was wondering if there could be alterations made to the motorcycle/scooter that would allow my left hand to control the acceleration/braking.

I've taken on a Sportster. It runs fine, but the starter either isn't getting power or is needing to be replaced. I have tried to cross the studs on the solenoid. The lights don't dim and nothing changes. I am at a loss. Any help. I refuse to kick start this beast again, due to the fact, it kicks back and injures my calf.

could you put the turbo where a supercharger would normally go instead of doing it through the exhaust and everything.

Some one said to me once that if you throw a pebble at a high speed train you could stop it if you threw it hard enough and in the right place - is this as stupid as it sounds!?

My car won't start at all. Have tried all obvious areas - plugs etc but still nothing. I did top the oil up the other day there and although there hasn't been any problems since then, could it be the wrong oil type. If so is this easily fixed.
