    Upper right "control arm" needed, which brand do I buy?? Do I even need it???

    I feel like I am getting ripped off by a mechanic I thought I could trust, because I fix one thing and now so many other things also need to be "fixed". It's BS and might end up costing me 1K in the long run. For a 15 year old car that I bought for $2,500 and won't be using for more than another...

    Can someone tell me if my instrument cluster lights are working??

    The switch on the left, when I turn it on at night, the instrument cluster lights come on, radio/ac lights come on.... when I turn it a second time, nothing happens.

    Need Quick Advice. Rear bearing making noise - when should I get it fixed?

    You can hear a loud whining noise when driving from 70-100KM/h+. At 40-60km/h it's still noticeable but not that bad. Two mechanics say it has to be fixed immediately (safety issue). Another says 1-2 months. Another says 6 months. When should it be changed? How much does it cost...

    HOOD on 2000 Accord V6 won't close...please help a newbie out

    I guess I should have been paying attention more because I can't close my hood for some reason. I know the mechanic played around with the lever somewhere to close it but I just spent 1 hour fiddling around with no result. Note: it closes but there's still 1-2 inch so it's not closing 100%...

    New to the modding business. How does one mod on a budget? What kind of cheap mods???

    Not that I am going to mod anything anytime soon (on a budget), but I was curious to know how one can mod on a budget? What are some fun, cool things you can do for under $50, under $100, under $200? Doesn't have to be performance based. Let's say for a stock 2000 Honda Accord EX Coupe V6.

    Just bought a 2000 Accord EX Coupe V6, 180KM, for $2,500. 0 accidents, 0 issues with the tranny right now but how can I be sure? I had my friend test drive it the other day and he said it felt okay. Mechanic inspected the car and said it was okay too except he can't safety certify the car...
