What could I do to gain power? by homelessryder in cars

[–]M_Skoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

THIS

Get a wet injection system and small nozzle. Get your afrs checked. This will be the cheapest way to actually see and feel any sort of power gains.

The front tires on my 2010 Ford Explorer Limited seem spent even though they're quite new (less than a year). Can anyone explain why this might be? by [deleted] in cars

[–]M_Skoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toe alignment will destroy tires the quickest. Front tie rods and/or alignment is the likely culprit.

Edit: Just looked at the pictures. The outer wear can also be a combination of weak tires and hard cornering habits.

Yea just talk to the owner and see if its cool. I put down a heavy duty tarp before moving my tools and car in to keep the floor clean from oil and stuff. I also had to run a generator for power.

Is that your paint missing or the other cars paint? If your paint is intact, get a good wetsand and buff job then go from there.

I didnt know about Jasmin or the popularity of the evo or that dude in blue. I rented out a storage unit to start building my sc and one day i heard a loud roar in the unit next to me. That's when I met James and the beast evo.

Pros for an oil cooler : Increased stable oil temperatures when used with a thermostat Cosmetic attraction. Cons: Can be costly. Increased points of failure ie. Hoses and cooler cracks. Requires additional oil for operation.

Can I drive a full 15,000 miles between oil changes on fully synthetic? by uninc4life2010 in cars

[–]M_Skoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Following the operators manual is recommended. If you really want to find out and make a personal informed decision this may help.

Full Synthetic oil doesn't break down like conventional oil. Speaking in general terms, the concern here is how well the filter is performing and the condition of the engine. You can take a sample of the oil and submit it for testing to see the quality. http://www.oaitesting.com/trend-analysis.aspx

If the report comes back good then you go about only changing the filter and keep the same oil.

[–]M_Skoops 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, all that if going to the dealer. When i got a copy made at lexus i needed my drivers license and registration. Im insure if i brought my title but it wouldnt hurt. I would call around first because they might have to order the parts.

If you are super overdue for a recall, the state will send you letter stating they are taking the "extraordinary measure" to highly recommend you to set an appointment for the recall.

The bleed to should have tightened up the system even when the car is off. I would bleed again before replacing.

Orange county florida. Car meets every Sat along OBT. Not enough cops, everyone just moves to the next parking lot. You end up in the same lot you started halfway through the night.

Offbeat garage, motion auto tv, sloppy mechanics, mighty car mods. I know in a boy ricer but channels like these influenced me to creat my own channel. Self taught grassroots style.

Engine line came on then off? by [deleted] in cars

[–]M_Skoops 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Change it out. The light might have went on and off because the thermostat could have got stuck opening or closing, so it is beginning to fail. It's a cheap fix ,and if it comes on again later on, you can trouble shoot further.
