Morimoto Mh1 4.0's released :) Just received them yesterday and got them installed. Their high beam solenoid inputs, locking nut, and reflective bowl threads have been greatly improved. All of the Mini H1's now come with spaced lenses to give a beautiful color flicker and blue/purple beam around the...

WhiteNeon, Ryan & bigtommy - Y'all get a big You Told Me So! I was wrong. Went to my Indy yesterday - my right rear bearing is shot. I am amazed that a wheel bearing can be that "over bearing" for better lack of words LOL I mean, it literally was so loud I had to crank the radio to drown it out. Eve...

Lowering springs & Tokico struts should be installed tomorrow I'll post pics

I tried to take one again driving home today but it didn't sound clear enough

indeed lol i have to travel up to cranberry tomorrow for work...wanna meet me after Ry?

Yea Bill...I'm thinking we're both on the same page now. Before, I didn't want to even think it was the tranny - but the more I think about it + try to diagnose...also, knowing the history of the ATX failure either with or without the transmission cooler failure at the bottom of the radiator...I'm m...

To answer both questions about tires - my tires are brand new Hankook Ventus V12's - they have less than 5k miles on them and are the quietest tires I have ever driven on. The noise started way after purchasing & driving on these tires so I highly doubt that is it. The noise today was even louder th...

Well, "expect the worst and wish for the best" I believe is the saying...? lol If worst comes to worst and I need a new tranny, I found an 05 tranny w/ 43k miles on it for $450.00. Does anyone know what an average independent mechanic would charge to do a full tranny install?

occasional demons wrote:If it is in the gearing that turns with the wheels, then yes it will make noise as long as the car is moving.

...although, mine only makes noise at 35mph + ??


on the info about the air box

Bill, Here's the newest info I have for you: In response to "the tube that goes from the rear of the VC to the air box"...I'm sorry - what is a VC? The air filter is brand spankin' new - just replaced it 2 days ago so I know for a fact it isn't the air filter that is clogged. I'm willing to try to c...

Ok, I just got back from driving 50 miles highway/city down to Washington, PA. Drove in D1, D3 & Drive. I honestly believe the loud noise/moan has nothing to do associated with the transmission - as the sound seems to be over top of the "normal" sound of the engine/transmission...not caused by them....

gee, is that all?

Well Bill, I did just change the tranny fluid like 5k miles ago - it is still clean & pink along with at the correct level...

What happened to be your problem? This is worrying me...this is from fixya.com where someone posted: "my 05 dodge neon has very loud engine noise and in order for it to get quiet i have to be in 5th gear at a little overe 40 mph,the sound is coming from the drivers side" the mechanic replied: "Hate ...

Does it have to be at 4k? It starts after 30-35 mph which is still around 2k RPMs

You say humming Possibly humming isn't the best adjective for me to use...My wheel bearings were just checked like 2 months ago & still have a lot of life to them - and I've had wheel bearings go on me a lot before...this definitely doesn't sound like a wheel bearing to me, and straight/left/right ...

I tried from my blackberry coming home...it's not clear enough to be distinctive - to you all it would just sound like bad noise

No sir I do not. Everything is OEM with regards to my retrofits and window tint lol

Ok so here's a quick run down of what I have monitored thus far...this has been going on for about 2 weeks now & seems to be getting louder/worse. I'm about to seek out the stealership "excellence" as I'm stuck...I'm really hoping my fellow forumers can help me out some w/ any ideas :) The problem: ...

lol yea - I definitely don't plan on spending a few thou' on a smoke machine anytime soon

evap problem is the canister looking piece back by the fuel tank.. They go bad sometimes. My friends had two go bad already.. But this is not always a given...is it? I don't want to throw $70 down the drain if replacing the NVLD isn't truly the cause of my P044* codes... A lot of people had said ba...

Thanks OB! Glad to hear yours is the same way in the fact I was worried about the wires splicing due to the belt...but you're probably right...it is probably to another option that didn't come with my SXT.

The bad news...I'm back to tracing this damn evap problem again haha

i know how that working alot and trying to get car stuff done feels. i do it all the time. haha.

Gotta make money to blow money - right?

Okay - so for about 4 months now, I've been having P044X codes coming on & off - I usually just pull the neg. cable, allow the ECU to reset & go on with life but after just resetting the code, the next day it was back so that told me the problem was getting worse. I decided to take a look around tod...

No updates as of yet folks - been crazy busy working 50+ hr weeks and haven't had the time or patience to get around to installing the new struts yet - it'll come soon enough though

Delivered yesterday:

Tokico HP Series High Performance Gas Struts -


Megan Racing Lowering Springs -

Well, those Megan Springs are 230 lbs front & 200 lbs rear. D'you think I will have a good outcome using those springs on my struts - both drop & performance/ride wise? I have been using megan racing springs for a long time before, and they pretty much ride like stock. Probably a little bit more st...

the setup you're going for looks like the perfect drop too. i might shoot for the same height.. Thanks Thane! Yea, I'm excited to see the outcomes and the finalization in Charlotte's looks. Well, the last major exterior mod...I am still considering painting the chrome grille pieces to color match a...

lol thanks, Crystal!

I just don't understand how in today's age a strict internet business can't keep account of their inventory status? Let alone to take over a week to process such order and finally tell you they are out of stock.

Ok...now I'm a little mad. It takes Silver Image Racing a friggin' week to finally e-mail me and say "Please note that your order with Order ID - 3297 which you ordered on 16 Jun 2011 has been voided. Item out of stock - Refunded" My Toki's are to deliver tomorrow & Thursday and now I'll have to wai...
