  1. having acceleration issues after 10 years,noticed this was missing but not sure what part it is, had same acceleration issues last year, was going to get rid of the car but decided to drop 1k on repairs, was working as it should until a few days ago and i noticed today this part looks like its missing... there is 3 holes for screws but nothing is there obviously ... i could be wrong ?
  2. ACCIDENTLY REPOSTED lol here is more info sorry guys when i first ran into the issue i drove from Van Nuys to Valencia which is roughly 25 miles. it was a cold night (not sure if that makes a difference) but when i was driving around the parking lot making my way out of the shopping center i noticed a weird noise. At first i thought something was stuck on the wheel, axle, or brakes but sound nothing. Opened the hood also nothing. then i realized it was a Gurgling sound but it only happens when i hit the brakes as if air is leaking into one of the hoses not really sure a
  3. notice it about 2 weeks ago. Driving 15 miles on the highway and running errands i was in a parking lot going about 5mph when i hit the brake it sounded like something was boiling. i did it a few more times ran it 5mph and same noise. looked it up and it may be air leaking in a hose ? took it to the dealer and explained the situation. they called back and told me they couldn't replicate the issue. any ideas ?
  4. Long story short I'm about to replace the hub centric rings, do I or should I balance my tires after? Got 3 new tires back in April 2017 alignment and balance just wondering if it's necessary to do that again with new rings
  5. i know jay leno uses rear a/c units on all his restorations

  7. love my car but i think im ready for a new chevy sonic RS
  8. its worth it to just learn to do an oil change yourself. especially on this car.
  9. i was out in Vegas last week took 1 photo
  10. my dad and my girlfriends dad both swear they get better gas mileage with 91 lol dad has a 2006 silverado gf dad has a honda crv
  11. manual says full synthetic... that's what i use...
  12. Just as an added precaution (and because mine is a 2013 with similar miles) i would have done the Brake and disc job on it. Sure you could stretch the brakes out more on those kinda miles but on a road trip ? i would have done it just to be safe. I've driven from Los Angeles to Vegas numerous times and the car is such a trooper. Handles well and cant beat the mpg (on a non hybrid or electric) on those kinda speeds. This last time was a bit rough due to the high winds but i noticed every car was having that issue. I also go to Ensenada, Mexico often (business trips) and
  13. the ONLY issues i ran into were the bolts were super TIGHT. everything was done by hand tools and extra elbow grease And removing the caliper was a bit of a hassle just because the dirt and gunk build up but other than that it was an easy job
  14. whatever the manual says is what i go with.
  15. autozone in my area had it. saved some dough instead of going through the dealer. Was told spark batteries only last up to 3 years
  16. i bought my rims from craigslist and they were $30 lol. strangely i havent been able to find the mothers wash and wax at pep boys or walmart.
