I want whitewalls for my motorcycle. I can't find anyone who makes one for the rear tire which is a 3.75 on an 18 inch rim.

I've looked all over the place. Does anyone know of a company that will take a blackwall and make it a whitewall?

Is there any way I could do it myself? I would want it done really well. Do kits exist for it? What can I do?

My friends dads old car broke when the steering and ignition all locked up, so we took off the whole ignition and steering wheel lock mechanism. I'm not sure why it won't start...we recently charged the battery. When we turn the "key"(we used a screwdriver), the engine makes the starting sound, and it begins to turn over, but it won't catch and then the car just shuts off (enginewise). Does anyone know whats going on and how we can fix it (at home, no money)?

I took my mom out of state for work and unbeknownst to me, she brought along frozen shrimp...which defrosted in the 19 hour long drive....and it leaked onto my back floorboard. Now it stinks really bad and I have to drive with the windows down. Its worse when I first open the car door after its been sitting for awhile, because I live in Texas, the heat is so bad that when I open the door, it makes you want to puke! I've tried a number of things, but I'm running out of ideas, if anyone has any suggestions, please tell me!

Is that the only thing that will cause this? I went to get my egr valve and o2 sensor changed on my car this morning. My oil light was not on and had never been on. When I went to pick up my car from the shop, the mechanic advised me that I needed an oil change. So I let him change the oil. Once I got in the car, the oil light was on and would not go off. I got five minutes down the road and my car shut off. It would not start back. The mechanic says it is my oil pump. It is making a loud knocking noise. I heard this noise before but it was very quiet, and I was told that it was just my valve cover gasket. Is it worth changing the oil pump in this car or should I just buy a new one? Could it be some other problem?

1997 2.3 Turbo Saab 95 eco Starts from cold, first time. Goes 5 miles then misses twice. Once ignition is turned off it will not start again for at least 20mins. If the weather is warm, it can take up to 45mins. It turns over, fuel is getting through, but there appears to be no spark. Performance and fuel consumption is normal. Dealership recorded info-: "Back Pressure". I had a new catalytic converter fitted but unfortunately there was no change. Has anyone got any ideas?

Can anyone please tell me if it is my starter motor that is the problem. I am unable to drive it to the mechanic to have it checked but I am sure it is as the battery has enough charge in it & I drove it at night with lights all bright. I know its not the alternator as a new one was put in it not long ago. All the wires are ok. It just wont kick over, and when continue to try, the battery just flattens. I know I also need a new battery but I have recharged the battery & it was tested to check the power. Hope someone can help me out .

here I go again with this wretched Car!
In my 92' chevy Skylark,I was charged $330.00 ( inc. labor) to have the waterpump replaced,along with the Thermostat and gasket. The cost of the water pump was $70.00. Does $330.00 sound rite ? I don't know how long it took him, because I left it there over the weekend. He did a couple of other things like put a sealer in the tank because it has a couple of small leaks.
I asked him to drive it off a Cliff for me, but he didn't! ( lol!!!)

I own an '04 Pontiac Grand Prix w/ 48,000 miles on it. I do my own oil changes w/ Castrol GTX or Mobil 1 5W-30 and a FRAM oil filter. For the first time, I added Lucas Oil Stabilizer (4 quarts oil and the LOS), and my has begun to shake when first started in the morning and sometimes throughout the day when I've been idiling for more than a couple of minutes. I'm going to change the oil again here soon, but if anyone has any reasoning as to why she's shaking after the stabilizer was put in, it would be greatly appreciated! I wrench on cars in my spare time, so I know my stuff ---- therefore, details would be great. Extras: fuel injectors are fine (also run fuel injector cleaner ever 3rd month to keep clean), just cleaned my throttle body and mass air flow sensor few weeks ago, and there is a new air filter. I usually run 87 (b/c she is a regular 3.8 V6 non-supercharged) and once a month put in 89 or higher (75%, I use Shell). Thanks for the help!
