I had an issue where the clutch would feel gritty on return and sometimes only return half way up and I would have to pull the pedal back up with my foot. It turned out that I had a leaking fitting in the clutch line and it was actually dripping fluid. So you could be feeling the effects of...

There's not much point in trying to change the car's weight distribution to a significant degree. The significant parts from a mass perspective are where they are and you can't really change them with little tweaks. If the weight distribution is a significant issue for you, you're best off...

The dealer must have taken mine off before I got it. I'm jealous that I didn't get to peel it off of my car when I got it.

The Jim Clark edition without the yellow. Looks great.

My Integra GS-R had the mouse belt. The day I bought it I pulled the fuse that drove that ridiculous thing and just manually latched it over my shoulder while doing the lap belt. It become as much of a habit as a normal belt that I never thought about it.

They mentioned the upgrade v6 and hybrid in the earnings report. No mention of an i4t in '27. The i4 accounts for only 20% of the cars in North America and many of those appear to still be sitting on dealer lots. I could imagine the hybrid may have a turbo 4 that replaces the current i4 in...

Over the past 3 weeks I've had two rental cars that were absolute, and surprising opposites. The first one was an AWD Camry Hybrid that absolutely surprised me. The drivetrain was resaonably peppy and behaved nicely. The quality of the interior and controls were great and it got 50 mpg over...

Lots of misconception and lack of info on Euro7. It's not lamda=1 under all loads, it decreases some limits depending on if the car is gasoline or diesel. It's longer reaching in time and reducing other emissions like brake and tire dust...

Welcome! I'm really enjoying meridian blue. The only down side is that it really has to be in the sun to show off the multiple colors of metal flake in the paint. Otherwise it looks almost plain black.

I ordered LY1C from an online site and it doesn't match the brakes at all. It's far less florescent. I don't know if it's the code or the vendor. Has anyone had a good match with LY1C?

What year of the Macan GTS did they remedy the leaking cam cover?

Yes, who wants to break out tools to check for a blown fuse?

From a designer's standpoint, yes, screws are easy and cheap. However, it's very easy to go into any of a half dozen catalogs and find a latch to buy (it's more complicated than that with safety regulations, of course but still..). From a UX standpoint, it's a fail. When you're designing a...
