ok i figured getting a brand new (dealership-bought) scion tC and then modding it would be bad seein as in that would void the warrantee or whatever
i thought of gettin an older 240 maybe 95 or 96 with low miles like under a hundred(on the car cuz hopefully the engine wont matter )
and then buying and importin a skyline engine and doin an engine swap in the 240??
does this sound like a good idea
and i know there are most likely a few things i have left out about how hard it is to do an engine swap so if anyone could possibly help me out on those also?..

sound proofing

by admin

is the sound proofing material for the trunk of your car worth spending the money on? i just got my sub in and it rattles like no other.

The other day my mate baught himself a 2002 excel with the DOHC the air sensors are behind the throttle body, we wanted to try out a K&N air pod filter on it and get rid of the cold air intake. we sprayed some pure alcohol into the throttle body and piping to clean it out. we left the cold air still intact while we disconnected the tubing to the throttle body and directly attached the air pod.
we then realised that it wouldnt get much air flow there and would have to pipe the pod and mount it towards the front, instead we left the pod there and positioned the original plastic pipe into the small inlet at the front of the pod..then took out the filter from the cold air intake, so its got air from under the hood and now sucking air through from the front.

we took her for a test run and i almost shat my self from puttin the foot down. the thing had so much more power it was crazy. the thing sounded like it was supercharged, the engine sounded like a beast and you could still hear the air sucking in over the engine noise. putting the foor down really put you back in your seat, which before we did this it had never done.

hyundai had really choked the air flow when they made em.

I got a 1992 Honda Prelude Si… right now i have a Iceman cool air intake and i got a 2 and a half inch catback.. and im gettin a skunk2 mega power muffler wit a 4 inch diameter… and im orderin sum dc stainless steel headers and a hi-flow cat-converter.

Right now wit the 2 and a half catback i have a smaller pipe on the back becuz the previous owner had a bigger muffler but got pulled over and oprdered 2 take it off so now i have this  almsot factory lookin muffler and  when it literally sounds like its rattlin when i pull off… guessin cuz of how small the muffler is not enuff compression gettin through.. jus needs that skunk2 to let it breath.. but right now its still loud.. so im wonderin wit all this other stuff is it gonna be ridiculouslly loud :

Hi. I was driving today and I had noticed that a screeching sound started. When I open the window when driving I can hear the sound as if coming from my front left wheel and when I stop the sound stops too. The sound is like a combination of screeching and hissing together. Could it be a problem on my brake pads? Or other part of the car?
