b. air gun is for taking drain plugs OFF, not putting them on Whoah, that made my balls cringe. Where did this happen? Any stripping happen, or did you just catch them using it? And yeah, I change my own oil. It's just about the easiest thing to do. I also have ramps. http://serv2.imagehigh.com/img...

Try the gas door, then the driver's side door jamb, then the owner's manual.

If you still can't find the manufacturer's reccomendation, you fail.

To answer Sypher's question, a higher octane rating makes gas harder to burn, eliminating detonation in high compression engines.

I heard that you gotta put a lot of money into a Mustang to make it have better performance compared to a Honda. I wouldn't really mod a car unless its like going full out N/A or F/I. If you are adventurous, try to tint the windows yourself. I'm thinking about that myself, for like 20 bucks, get so...

Look at transmission options for BMW, Audi, VW, and Porsche.

Ze Germans are coming! They're here to take away manual transmissions!

It's the exact same engine. I think there's a different cam in the Metro though.

No, the turbocharged one has a little hood scoop and midwing. This is just a 3 cylinder Firefly. Another clone of the Suzuki Swift.

I bought a car.

ANOTHER JUAN. :lol: 600 cash. I'll be selling the white Metro to cover the cost of the gray Firefly. The Metro may look a little better, but it's a chunk of sh*t mechanically. It also has quite a bit of bodywork damage from previous owners. This fly is in way better shape. :D http://img54.imageshack...

1995 Geo Metro, in sig. 55 horsepower 1.0L 3 cylinder, 5 speed.

I got to drive my dad's Mazda 323 yesterday with the 1.6 4 cylinder, also a 5 speed. Felt like a damn race car after the Metro.

Friday the thirteenth, nothing happened to me.

Saturday the fourteenth, my Fing brakes went out. :D Got the car home with the Ebrake. The bolt holding the passenger rear line in place came out and the line wiggled itself until it snapped. I repaired it today. Took about an hour to get it done. Had to run back to Canadian Tire to get the correct ...

I don't have a car worth keeping uber-clean, so I'm not concerned.

It's spring and everything is melting, so everyone's cars have crap all over them.

I got bored.

I also noticed that my tailpipe sticks out a good 2 inches from the bumper.

Hmm.

A hacksaw and 4.2 minutes later, I had it flush with the bumper. :D

It looks pretty good and didn't change the sound (a good thing). I'll snap a picture of it later.
