  Was test driving the CX-90 PHEV...We're doomed

  By cx5-6spd

  Went to test one out just for giggles after doing a massive suspension overhaul...what a nice looking car the CX90 PHEV is. I then read it has a longer list of TSBs and Recalls than my car has bolts. Then I watched a youtube engine swap from the new CX-90 Phev due to failure...we're cooked if that's the future of cars. Those new cars are massively overcomplicated. I am curious if the new CX-50 2026 is equally disastrous on the build quality. My car in comparison looks like a bicycle when... Read more

  '81 242DL B21F CA Difficult Starting

  By johfraser

  Recently, the engine will sometimes crank but not start. When it does start it runs and drives well. I have checked the micro switch for the Constant Idle Speed system and it clicks when the throttle closes and the engine idles good at about 800 RPM. I can always hear the main pump under the car and the tank pump at the fuel filler opening. The tank pump has a slightly higher pitch. Recently I checked the fuel flow out of the filter on the firewall by disconnecting the outlet hose and put a... Read more

  Exhaust flange gasket

  By Rlaf75

  Got in my truck this afternoon to go to worj and the truck was louder than normal. I crawled underneath and found a flange bolt between the front straight pipe and muffler was broken. I know how to fix it thats not the question. My question is, what are people using for a replacement gasket? Called the dealer and they have a gasket in stock for $30 but is there a better alternative gasket to use of should I just get the dealer gasket? For reference its the flange circled in red

  Updated to $2,000 New Remus Sport Cat-Back Valve Exhaust for 2017-2021 Honda Civic Type R

  By Jickster343

  Hello everyone, I'm looking to sell my Remus Valve Exhaust for the FK8 2017-2021 model. I sold my Type R a while ago, and I was thinking about getting another one this year, but I decided not to. This was in storage and was never used; it comes with the full valve exhaust, sound controller, and 6 exhaust tips. I bought 3 extra just in case the other tips were to break. I purchased this for $2,418. This includes the exhaust and sound controller, which controls the valve to make it quieter or...

  Strut Tower Post Bump Assessment

  By fordguy_1997

  Good afternoon everyone! It’s been a long while since I’ve been on the site, but between the Navy keeping me going in and out to the ocean and me working on a new business venture I haven’t had much time to work on and tinker with the ole Cobra. I did a goof though, and wanted to get as good of an opinion on what to do as one can get on the internet. Long story short, I lost her a bit to the point where I hit a curb head on with the driver side leading and smacking first. Didn’t crack the... Read more

  To EGR or not to EGR on my 5.8. That is the question.

  By Soren

  Sorry about the length of this question, but I'm not sure how to frame it without all of the context. I'm gathering parts for the Explorer EFI and front dress conversion on a 90's roller block 5.8L engine to go in my 1966 Bronco. I purchased the lighting lower and upper many years ago for a mustang EFI conversion, but never had time to do that so I'm going to use them for the Explorer EFI conversion instead. Now onto my questions... I've come to the point where I need to figure out whether... Read more

  The UFO/Aliens/Intelligent Beings & Other Out of This World Technology Thread

  By rborden

  Are there aliens and UFO's? Is there Intelligent Life beyond this planet? There's a new documentary out called The Age of Disclosure that claims multiple world governments have retrieved UFO's & UAP's going back 80 years and that they're all in a race to reverse engineer the technology to dominate the space race and weapons race. Furthermore, Congress and the President (current and past) do not have knowledge or clearance and everything is done outside of Congressional oversight. Here's... Read more
