- No, no -- don't hammer directly on the end of the threaded part. (Besides, how do you find room to swing a hammer downward onto the upper part when the whole assembly is still on the car?) Instead, p

- If you care about the car's handling, yes! Do an alignment any time you change any suspension pieces. Sure, if you count the turns as you unscrew the tierod, you'll get close. If you have a boat whic

- Okay, enough people have asked about measuring toe that I guess I should post something. Warning: it's long. There are many books which discuss easy home methods for checking alignment. If you're at

- This brings up an interesting point -- where do you get float level settings for aftermarket carbs? I have a 34DMTR on my X1/9, and haven't been able to find any documentation on this carb anywhere (

- A general rule of thumb which I've heard and which seems to be true is that there are two major things which make a car want to self-center: caster, and weight on the front wheels. So if a TR-8 and a

- I agree. The Miata is a cute, fun little car that I'd think would look very nice in BRG/tan (though IMHO blue suits it better). And personally, I get a lot of enjoyment out of listening to a car that

- Not recommended. Well, I don't have any experience with engines, but I lost a transmission once because the mechanic forgot to prelube the parts. On the bright side, I had a chance to test my new 5-p
