What is the demarcation between rear engine and mid engine cars? I presume a rear engine is when the center of gravity of the engine is behind the rear axle.

There's a new type of fuel efficient vehicle and the government is not interested at all. The new fuel efficient vehicle is a motorized bicycle. But isn't a motorized bicycle a mopad ? Well, according to most governments a motorized bicycle with an internal combustion engine is a mopad and...

Hello, My son has a 2005 Honda Accord, 6 Cyl. The Manual says to use 5W-20 Oil. He's having a rough time finding it around where he lives. Would 5W-30 be O.K. and safe ?

The Nissan NV200 was a bog standard MPV on the Nissan-Renault B platform. Nissan wanted to get the London taxi market, but the NV200 is FWD. So they added an extra universal joint to driveshafts, allowing the wheels to turn more. This reduced the turning circle from 11 m to 7.6 m !!!!!! Now I have...

We have nucular powered submarines, what about a land vehicle? How small can you make a urannium steam engine? It strikes me as the ultimate carbon emission reducer - -- Rich

Hello, Thanks for all of my previous post replies from you all. Appreciate it very much. Great Forum. All set now. Just wondering about this a bit, so thought I'd ask also. a. I know it is a no-no to mix "regular" oil with "Synthetic" oil. I see that many of the offering say "Synthetic Blend"

I know this sounds crazy but I am wanting to experiment with a filter and housing to use attached to my spigot outside my pole barn garage. The purpose would be to wash my cars so there are no water spots and no need to dry them. I have three vehicles and it takes alot of time to wash them. Also,...

I answered the phone and was told that they had spoken to me six months earlier and that they weren't selling anything. They said that their car insurance rates had been sharply reduced and would I like a rate quote? I said no thank-you and they hung up before I could beat them to it.

Hypoid gears waste energy. However the spiral bevel is noisier and has to be bigger to handle the same torque that hypoid gears can. So I presume muscle cars and trucks do not use spiral bevel gears. I was curious if anybody uses spiral bevel gears in the interests of saving fuel.

I'm looking for a diagnostic cable for an older BMW E39 of 2002 vintage without the 20-pin round pacman connector, so I only need the 16-pin standard obd2 connector. Most cable ads don't say if both pin 7 and pin 8 K lines are intact. Most K+DCAN cables have the 8th pin disconnected (for the...

My '89 Cressida with 7MGE has developed a problem where it takes numerous tries to start. Crank a few - pause - crank a few - pause - crank a few - pause - crank a few - starts Once it finally starts it runs like a clock. No problem. It got worse over the period of probably a month or so - now it...

someone i know recently demonstrated that their modern function is apparently poorly understood. back in the day, a thermostat just sat on the high side of an engine, and opened when the coolant temp convecting around it raised enough. if there was a problem, like the thermostat failing...

Hello, When "negotiating" for a new car, is it normal that the agreed upon price include the tax, title, and registration costs, or are these 3 items always just assumed to be the buyers', and tacked on after the final overall price is "settled" upon ? Thanks, Bob

Buick Lesabre 2002. I had to stop short this morning, and immediately the engine started sputtering. It came back to life if I rev it. I started to smell gas from the vents, which were blowing. Mileage got really bad. I had no choice but to continue driving to work and back. I put about 40...
