    mid pipe replace or just cat?

    One of my cats is going bad and keeps tripping a code. Granted, it could be an O2 sensor, but it's lowered and last time it was on the lift, it looked dented pretty good and smells bad when I come to a stop. So, should I just replace the cat with a new one (weld-in) or replace the whole pipe...

    Rotating offsets?

    Rotating staggered rims? Did a search and couldn't find anything. Car is a DD but was thinking about getting 17x9 up front with 17x10.5s in rear. When it comes time to rotate the tires, do they just swap sides and rebalance or is this just a bad idea for a DD?

    Do I need to remove the front bumper? Can I do this using the fabled Rhino ramps? Where do I pick up the stock h/e fluid? Ford parts dept? I think I read somewhere that you should replace the fluid with the stuff that comes from Ford.

    Strange electrical problem

    When I returned to my car in the evening, the car wouldn't start. Lights were dim, and the starter wouldn't turn. Just the quick clicking noises. Had a friend try to jump it, didn't work. Took the battery to Autozone and they said it was at half capacity, chargeable. Came back, but unlike when...

    Hood liner = brittle??

    I was about to do the postban mod and acquired the little interior pin removal tool to help out with the plastic pins that hold it up. I got to the second one, and as I try to create an opening in which I can slide the tool under, my hood liner is just flaking off. Literally. Is this normal...

    Stoopid q: Air conditioner vs. Air cooler

    So what exactly is the difference? I can't seem to find the answer on the web, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to cool my room. It's kinda small, no bigger than 15'x15', and it's upstairs, so our weak central air doesn't help much. I have installed a nice 52", 5-fin fan and it helps a...

    Min ride height vs. Max ride height

    I think there is a law that says your bumper has to be x" away from the ground, otherwise you get a ticket for it being too low. Is there a fine for regular trucks (F150s, Silverados, etc) that are jacked way too high? I ask this because recently, there was an accident involving a lifted...

    How will bigger rims affect performance?

    I was thinking about getting 18" rims with 10 inch width on the rear ones, 9 up front. Would my car run slower because of the bigger size? Current mods in sig, and I'm not planning a blower swap, but I am planning on a shifter/port/chip/pulley/tune/springs at some point.
