I have a 302 Windsor out of a 72 ford pickup truck with C4 trans. What should I expect in HP since its all been installed in a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente. I know the 302 has high torque since it comes from a Truck.

I'm looking far into the future for a summer project and am thinking of trying to put together a motorized bicycle from home parts. I've been searching the net trying to find some guidance, just so I don't kill myself, but I'm having difficulties. I'm searching for ANY help, plans, possible parts, past experience, anything. Thanks!

I had Michelin PS2's before and ran them at about 35psi, which I guess was low. Now I have Yokohama's and they're at about 45. I can't floor it in 1st gear without loosing the back end or the traction control kicking in. This didn't seem to be true before. So I'm wondering if it is the tires, the pressure or maybe it's winter time now. I am in California so I'm not sure if 50 degrees vs. 80 degrees will make that much difference. I'm driving an M3 by the way.

Are there rules about buying two different sets of winter tires for a car?
I recently acquired a Honda civic Sedan 2001 and just bought a pair of Graspic winter tires for the front (gently used 185/65/14's). Needless to say after reading your forum I realize I went about this the wrong way and should have indeed bought a set of four.
Now that I am about to buy the set for the rear tires (with rims also) what should I be looking at?
Can i, for example, buy 195/ 65/ 14's or 185/70/14's?
Do I need to stick to the same brand or just the same tread pattern?

Any suggestions would be helpful.
Oh I also have the same issue with my daughter's car, a 97 Ford Escort wagon with front winter tires of the similar size. (Marangoni Meteo's).

Such as adding and air aid intake, and or a superchips computer programmer? Will this void my warranty? I.e. if the engine blows up, turbo pops off, engine heats up really high etc etc

I was involved in a multiple rear end collision in CA. I was the middle car of the 3 cars involved in it. I saw the truck in front of me suddenly brake and come to a near stop. I started to brake as well. As I was getting to stop, I felt a bump from behind and I realised I have been hit from behind. Then I hit the truck in front of me. I have extensive damages to my car , the truck in front of me has little damages. My questions is who would be held liable for the accident? The two collisions were just instances apart and I can't say for sure which one happened first. But I m planning to tell my insurance the rear collision happened first. Can I be held liable for making a wrong statement? I can say I wasn't sure which one happened first, but I have been told by people to make only firm statements to the insurance companies. Any advice on this will be very useful. Thanks!

I own a 2007 Honda Pilot.

I was charging my phone, and for some reason happened to blow out the fuse on the charger and the radio. The Honda Dealership fixed it.

Ever since the fuse though, I have noticed that the car uses higher RPMs during acceleration.

It is hard to prove that the car is using higher revs to the Honda guys.

Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?

At 18 my parents took me to get a car for myself, I paid aprox. $4500 dollars on the car that costed $10200, Dad paid the rest. I was the primary driver of the car for 2 years untill I decided that my parents were over controling and I moved out. I took the car with me and my dad called me as I was driving and said he'd call the police if I didn't bring the car back because it is his name and he will report it stolen. So I took the car back and left.

I asked for the money I paid on it if they (parents) aren't going to let me have the car and they refuse to let me have money for it.

Am I entitled to recieve the money I paid on it or not, I am now 20 years old.

My wife and I got rear-ended by a truck at a pretty high speed, it totaled the car and my wife and I were taken out on stretchers in an ambulance. We both got hurt (my seatbelt didn't work) and are recovering now. It's Sunday so I haven't called my insurance company yet. What will be the steps taken? I didn't get any information at the scene (I think my wife has the report # from the police) as we were both pretty out of it.
Should I get a lawyer to handle everything? Or will the insurance companies work everything out themselves?
