    Speed Up Your Slow Computer!

    Best thing to do is avoid unknown websites, don't download anything unless you know the source, etc. etc. etc. Antivirus software definitions only help against known viruses. If you catch a zero-day virus, no anti-virus software on the planet will help. And usually .. the first thing a...

    1994 Corolla - New Owner!

    Really low miles for that year! Sounds like $1k is a good score. Welcome to the forum!

    Factory Spark Plugs

    I haven't heard anything. Don't really see how plugs can increase power. Either they ignite 100% of the time like they are supposed to, or they don't.

    Replacing Front Rotors

    If you plan on keeping the rotors (i.e. just going to get them turned), PB catalyst near the studs and the hat, as much as you can get as possible, that will help them come off. You may need to hit the top of the hat (carefully) with a ball peen to jar them loose. Before you put them, use a...

    Headlight Question

    I haven't heard of a way to over-ride it but I imagine that the dealership may be able to disable it ... but don't quote me on that.

    Email on Entune

    You have to go into messages to look at e-mail, and obviously your phone has to be conected via Bluetooth and email active.

    Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror

    I usually use a heat gun to do it. Get the glue nice and hot and the mirror will come off, then , after the windshield cools off on its own, use isopropanol or a glue remover to get the window clean. If you aren't comfortable with this, pay a body shop to remove the old rear-view mirror.

    Turning Key While Driving :( OCD

    Instead of modifying the car, isn't there a rabbit's foot or something else you can play with to keep you from doing that? When you turn the key you still kill power to some components (which is why an intercept for the wire between the switch and starter relay is not a good idea), and...

    Speed Up Your Slow Computer!

    I use Microsoft Security Essentials. For everything else, I know my way around the computer enough to fix any other issues that come up. McAfee is the worst. It is such a resource whore, it is not even funny.

    The Video of The Day Thread

    Track has claimed an awful lot of lives. And yeah, if I had a motorcycle I would NOT share a track with cars. No way in hell.

    2001 Burns a Quart of Oil Every 3000 Miles

    Did he call you every day at exactly 3 p.m for two weeks wanting to know if you were buying the car?

    2001 Prizm, Installing a Stock Tachometer

    Usually the wiring and the connectors will be different, but don't take my word for it. Best bet would be to get a wiring diagram and compare a non-tach cluster to a cluster with a tach in it. The other end of the green wire will most likely go to the PCM. Pre OBD-II vehicles can also get the...

    Auto Dimming Rearview Mirror

    Moonroof power. Tap into one of the switches, because those are only hot in ACC or ON, the map lights are hot at all times so you don't want those wires. You'll need body panel tools to remove the dome light/moonroof switch assembly. Once that is removed you should be able to fish the wire...

    Direct Access to Radio Data

    There is an option that will wipe all personal data in settings. Be warned ... you will lose ALL of your settings. Nav setting, radio presets, sound settings. The only settings that will persist are your XM subscription and the car settings. That is it. It also takes about 10 minutes to...
