  1. I checked my brake fluid , it was full. Engine coolant was a bit low though, but obviously that doesn't have anything to do with an e-brake light. So is it probably just an e-brake light sensor gone bad, or is there something else it could be? And if it is just the sensor or whatever, is there a way I can make the light go off? Not like I need it anyways, I'd know if my e-brake was on.
  2. I sort of have the same problem... My E-Brake light is now constantly on, well most of the time at least. It occasionally goes off, but when its on I don't notice any drive changes (so its not like the e-brake actually is on). Anyone know the problem there? Its just the e-brake light, not the battery light also...

    Any gamers

    Runescape (MMPORPG), name on there is "Bclayj2" Halo2- Gamertag is "Sh0rt P0w3r"
  4. Windows rolled down beats AC any day. AC belt recently broke but I got a new one put on pretty quickly afterwards. Its not so much that I use it that often, more just of a comfort thing, knowing I have it there if I want it. Fresh air is always better though I think, only reason I'd use it is if I'm either sitting still or its really humid outside.

    New Paint

    White's alright, maybe with a gray stripe down the side, or keep it red like it is possibly. I was thinking maybe just reverse the colors? Make red your primary color with the stripe gray.. I dunno; I might be a little biased since mine's red
  6. I play Runescape, its an MMPORPG too like WoW. Never really felt like gettin into WoW like everyone else did.
  7. No real idea what the problem is exactly, but I do recall my old '86 Toyota Pickup doing that exact same thing... Just revving it when stopped helped it from happening. Does it normally occur mainly in the mornings when its colder? I'm not really sure where you live if its colder up there, but I know my truck only ever did it on cold mornings.
  8. On my friend's 01 pathy the wires are more out of the way; but on mine the wires seem pretty much everywhere up inside there... Putting tools and stuff in there isn't going to mess anything up?
  9. I can't really think of too much specifically (mostly stuff already said), but I just remember when I first got mine how everything was where I expected it to be... Stupid things like when I had to put my cell phone somewhere, there'd be a perfect spot for me to put it (that little space on the console up next to the gear shifter). When I was outside the car and I had to set down my drink, there was a perfectly level edge there on the end of the car that looked just made for putting things on. Not rounded or anything like some cars, it looked like they made it intentionally for that purpose. It was like someone had thought out every little detail on these cars lol. Every stupid little thing I'd try and do, there was some compartment or some feature that looked like it was designed just for that. It was little stuff, but it really made me fall in love with my car.

    world cup

    They're not playing good defence at all. The offense is looking alright, but we need more energy; you're not gonna win a game against the Czech's by just controlling the ball. I liked the commentators idea of dropping Donovan back to Midfield, he needs to get his foot on the ball a bit more.
  11. Is it possibe to reverse the hinges on the hatch so that the hatch folds inwards instead? Imagine taking the hinges and putting them on the bottom of the frame, then creating some sort of clip-in thing so that the glass stays in place inside the car. Then you have full windflow, but you can put the glass back up easily. Only minor problem would be that its slightly less cargo space for you, but doubt that'd matter much.
  12. Yeah I'm sure someone makes those. Either that or it wouldn't too hard to modify the arms a bit (not sure how you'd go about it though). I'll ebay it and see what I get
  13. Yeah I have problems with my cupholders too; For one thing you can't put two cans in them. One is made mainly for larger size cups, the other is made for the cans. And ther other problem is that I'm a bit shorter than the average person so my seat is further forward than most. So it can make it a bit harder to reach the cups at times lol. I like Trail's idea though, are there any other places you can put in a cup holder like that?
  14. 21 Gallons X 20mpg, So I get around 420 miles to a full tank... though I've never gotten it anywhere near that low. Usually I fill up with like 17 gallons or something, so around 340 everytime I fill up.
  15. I got some error message a few minutes ago when I tried going to the site; waited about 5 minutes and now its working again. Still a bit slow though, but for the most part it'll eventually still load the page.
  16. The hatch button is just supposed to unlock the back; it won't open it for you. But if you're driving along with the windows down and you hit the switch, the hatch will open just because of the wind hitting it. I find it opens more easily when accelerating from being stopped for some reason, so that's usually when I choose to open mine.
  17. I do pretty much the same thing; I just leave that back window open. I guess the only difference between mine and yours would be that mine moves up and down when I hit bumps and stuff, so it could be wearing out those arms or whatever they're called. They're cheap anyway, so I figure its worth it. My 95 XE actually has a button that'll unlock that rear window, so when I'm driving I can press the button and because of the windflow the back window opens up. Only problem with it is if I decide I want it back down, I don't have a button to close it... I've been thinking about just attacking like a piece of rope or something to the end of the window so that I can just pull it closed when I want to from the driver's seat. Not sure if that'd work, but its a possiblity. Not that I ever really need to have it closed; rain can't get through that window anyway when you're driving.
  18. That didn't really dumb it down much lol. Maybe I'm just the idiot though :X You did use electrical tape around it right? When I did mine I had to go back and retape it a few times, but when it wasn't taped it just didn't work at all; no sparks or anything. Also see if adding some insulation will help. Most new speakers come with a couple inches of the stuff, but if you don't have any it should be pretty cheap to pick up from WalMart or something... Putting that around any potential parts that could be touching wires might fix the problem. Or you can try what 88path said, if you understand what he's saying. While on the topic of speakers, did anyone else have a problem just getting the damn things up in there? I actually had to cut off some of the ceiling carpet just to get the speakers up in there, and even then it was tough getting the screws all the way in. Took me a few hours, and even after that then the speaker case wouldn't go back over them; I have a corner still kinda hanging down on both the rear speakers... Not a big deal, but just wondering if anyone else had the same sort of problems. The front ones were easy to install, rear ones were a bitch.
  19. TBH, I'd probably take Sex over wheeling. What's best is having sex while wheeling
  20. My 95 has 142k miles on it, it hasn't had any large problems yet at all. Like others have said, Honda does make nice cars, but when it comes to off-road and such, they're not exactly the best name brand. If I were you I'd make the decision between a pathfinder and a 4-runner; that's what my decision came down to and I just happened to go with the pathy cause I heard more things about it (and the price was right). Either one will do good I think.
  21. I think both mine are black, but I haven't had a real good look at it actually. I have a 95 XE too though, so its possible I just haven't noticed and mine's the same as yours.
  22. Yeah mine shook like a bitch after I last took it mudding. I cleaned it out with a hose to get the majority of the mud out, but it still shook a little bit when I got up above 60. Went back the other day and sprayed it all out again, and its fine now. I didn't have to take off the wheels either, just got up underneath it. So its real possible that the last owner took it mudding and just didn't clean out his wheels correctly, so get underneath it with a hose and just look for mud and stuff. And like others are saying, you can go get it realligned, may as well do that.
  23. I'm likin the QX4's, but you've probably made your decision by now anyway.
  24. Friend just got a new one like that on his Pathy too, looks sharp. His was more of a mandatory thing though, bent up the tailpipe while off-roading lol, wasn't sounding good. Nice lookin though, and definitely nice sounding. Hopefully that'll be one of the upgrades I get for mine this summer, maybe not as nice as that, but something close to it
