  Found a simple but cool air tool…

  By Krooser

  So I’m at my local Auto Value store this week looking to replace the air blow gun that somebody used but did not return to anyplace I can find it. They have a decent selection of tools and a couple air compressors on hand… a nice old store. I used to work for the former owner of this local chain when it was Federated Auto Parts. Anywho I found a suitable blow gun… the typical chrome job with a conical rubber tip and lever throttle. Then the parts guy sez “ Try this one”… hey a nice blue... Read more

  Another Caliper for 354mm Brakes LX600, GX550, 3rd Gen Tundra?

  By bjowett

  New caliper time? There’s a possibility (?) that we can use the calipers listed in the title to upgrade the earlier rigs looking for the larger brakes. They may also be a suitable as a slightly improved replacement for the 2016+ units. I’ve been eyeing these for a bit now, but @turbo8 recently upgraded his 250 with the GX Calipers, and that has pushed me to write a post to pose the question, will they fit? That will come down to offset of caliper mounting ears. If they fit, we can go... Read more

  Toggle switch mounting plate design

  By collinsit

  Hi there, I recently got a 2020 Honda Civic. I really like the car, first Honda I have ever owned. One thing I am trying to figure out a way to do is mount toggle switches in the car. I am a volunteer fire fighter and would like to put green fire lights in the car. Ideally I would like 2 or possibly 3 switches. I have considered putting a switch in the blank to the left of the steering wheel but I am also looking at adding fog lights to the car and have found kits that can do that and put a...

  2016-2019 CX-9 Front Bumper Crack TSB #09-022-20-3720

  By r9000

  All 2016-2019 CX-9 owners should be aware the front bumper likely will crack due to a design defect. Mazda is well aware and issued TSB #09-022-20-3720 . Hope yours cracks while still under warranty. If not, Mazda may "assist" you, but they will not pay the full cost of the repair. I noticed mine while washing at 38,000 miles, just out of warranty. I took it to the dealer, whom said they'd had a few cases and they had to submit a case to Mazda and not to worry. To my surprise... Read more
