My iPod was stolen by the honda dealer here in Cathedral City, Cali... the general manager said he's not going to reimburse it, he said i cant prove it happened and i am at fault. They stole it from my trunk, when i was just getting work done on the center console near the drive seat.

Does anyone know someone, or how to get to someone higher?

I have a 85 Dodge Charger 2.2 and am trying to find the FACTORY lower seat cushion covers. I know they will be very hard to find but maybe one of you guys have a source or stash?? They are a kinda silver velour type material on the centers and the charcoal color vynil material on the out edges. I can get a factory part number for them if anyone needs them. Please dont respond if your going to tell me to go to autozone or some crap like that cause thats not what Im looking for. Thanks!

I know cheap cars are not real wood and that some luxury cars do have real wood or real wood options, but what about the 745Li? My boyfriend has one- that I drive all the time, LOL-and my friend asked me if the woodgrain was real. I said I hoped so since originally it was an almost $100K car. Please don't tell me the poor (not literally) people out there buying these cars brand new are paying for second class polymer!

the pump and the shaft from the pulley going into the pump had broke so that was obvious, then a few weeks later the steering went stiff again so i thought maybe it happened again so i took the pump out and it wasn't broken, so i thought maybe the new pump was faulty sent it back under warranty and fitted another one, the same thing today the steering has gone stiff any ideas please.

I was filling up my window scooshers last night, and dropped my lid. It was really dark, and I've not been able to find it. Does anyone know where I can get a replacement lid for it?

I have an 89' sr20det 240sx with a front mount intercooler. My car is pretty low so the intercooler has a ripped bottom so i was wondering if that would effect performance but that much and if i shouldn't drive it or not.

The heat needle goes to full hot and stays when starting. The tachometer reads 500 rpm when running regardless of true rpm. Odometer reads 99999, but trip odometer works. Speedometer totally erratic. Anyone know what is wrong? Truck is running fine otherwise, although service engine light soon is on, but it has been for long time.

Much confusion with the intake gaskets @_@

We have a 5.2 318, and an old holley intake.

The gasket set we have has 5 gaskets. @_@

(the engine block is an 87, but its going into a 78 ramcharger.)

replacing the old 360 which threw a rod..

Sorry, anyhow.

gaskets.

Uh, we have 2 blue ones, with a kind of papery stuff on them, with all kinds of holes for water passages, which the block doesnt have.

two silver, aluminum ones, which do NOT have those extra water passages. only the holes the block has.

However, they have little flanges on them, which slip nicely into the blue gaskets.

Thirdly, we have an extra silver gasket for the passenger side, with a heavily restricted passage, in the CENTER hole. the big one..

So.. we're totally lost, and our book isn thelping us out.

Thanks!

US SPEC INFORMATION: The 2009 Nissan GT-R will go on sale in the United States in June of 2008 with a base price of $69,850. The premium model will sell for $71,900, and will include a Bose sound system, side airbags, and heated seats. The Bose system consists of 11 speakers mounted in rigid aluminum diecast panels. The car's pre-order program, available through select US dealers, will begin in January.


2009 Nissan GT-R: Awesome From Afar


The 2009 Nissan GT-R has broken cover. Or rather, several well-known automotive media outlets have blown its cover! When the December 2007 cover of Motor Trend got leaked (or swiped) from the printer, press embargoes were tossed aside, along with it the thin veil of secrecy the GT-R was still hiding. Namely its off-the-chart performance numbers: 0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds, 11.7-second quarter mile, and top speed of 193 mph. Better still, the supercar is expected to be in the amazingly affordable $70-80K range.



Unveiled at Last



The black covers that hid the GT-R’s nose are gone and reveal a chiseled carbon fiber nose piece, flanked on both sides by small canards molded into the bumper itself. Look closely, and you can see how the deep front splitter directs air to the radiator and around the car. The sleek shape of the new R35 is a commendably slick 0.27 Cd (co-efficient of drag). Twin NACA ducts in the hood channel air directly to the small IHI turbos located underneath. They’re not the only low-drag aero devices used on the car, either. The front fenders have functional air ducts that sweep back from the sides of the car, drawing heat away from the engine compartment. One detail not readily apparent is the rear carbon-fiber splitter that uses airflow under the chassis to develop downforce. While standard practice for LeMans prototypes, these types of details are reserved for only a few road-going machines. Nissan engineers knew the enormous performance envelope for this car would require every (aero) trick in the book! Rear styling of the R35 features the iconic twin round taillights of the GT-R series. All in all, Nissan stylists have created a modern, functional shape that pays appropriate homage to the legendary line.



V-6 Power First for GT-R



Looking under the hood of the new PM (Prime Midship) chassis reveals the front-mounted engine is mounted far back for better weight distribution. But there’s no blown straight six for this thoroughly modern supercar. The new twin turbocharged 3.8 liter V-6 is named the VR38 and puts out 473 hp at 6,400 rpm and 433 lb-ft of torque at 5,200 rpm in its initial state of tune. No doubt Nissan will have more on tap for the future, but all appearances suggest that this is the engine to be federalized for North American use. Expect the compact IHI turbos to have little to none of the dreaded turbo lag of years past. An extremely clean turbo installation utilizes separate plenums and tuned intake runners for each bank of the engine. Expect to hear more details on this amazing powerplant in the near future.

Meanwhile, a carbon fiber prop shaft transfers power to the rear- mounted transaxle. Utilizing a six-speed, direct-drive semi-automatic gearbox, Nissan’s latest AWD creation can vary power delivery from 50/50 (front/rear) to 2/98 for heavy acceleration. By utilizing the paddle shifters, GT-R pilots may sample full-throttle, no lift upshifts, and computer-guided downshifts with full rev matching. The GT-R’s suspension is more familiar, with twin wishbones up front and a five-link rear. The dampers are electronically controlled, with three separate programs (race, sport and comfort) available at the touch of a button. More extreme are the 20” alloy wheels with massive six-piston Brembo (front) and four-piston (rear) calipers with equally enormous 15.2” rotors. You’ll need that kind of stopping power, as the latest R35 is expected to tip the scales at a touch over 3,792 pounds.



Silken Hammer


Inside the cockpit, it’s luxury blended with pure performance. Racing-style leather seats with large side bolsters will hold you (and your passengers) in place, although I’m not sure anyone really wants to be tossed around in the smallish 2+2 seats in back! A beautifully sculpted instrument panel features a center-mounted tach (with a 7K redline) and a smaller speedo on the left. The instruments move up and down with the steering wheel, so each driver can find the perfect position. Nissan continues their superb job in blending traditional control surfaces with cutting edge technology. A good example is the center stack with traditional HVAC controls in the center and a large video screen just above this. Toggling through this display provides such diverse information as turbo boost, g-loadings, engine performance parameters and which of the really hot girls is lusting for a ride in your new GT-R. OK, I made that last one up. Step into the new R35 and you’ll find everybody wants a ride!
