[Eliminating muffler]

Here is a pic of mine, only slight increase in sound if any at all.

 

Where's my picture?

[which grille guards to get?]

OEM Grill Guards are the best!

 

Let's have a look at that new "Guard" you have there, glad to see it go to a good home.

 

I would stay away from any kind of "Grill Guard" type stuff if you are trying to protect the vehicle. Greater chance of them getting bent into the vehicle causing more damage then if you hadn't had the guard there. They truely are all looks as far as strength.

 

lol, it'll atleast keep the civics' & corollas' from scratching up that front end.

[Help Out A Newbie With Brake Flush]

Before you flush make sure to check and see that your slide pins are not seized and are moving freely. I've seen stuck slide pins give a mushy pedal.

 

nothing is wrong with the brakes, just feeling a little mushy when comparing to a new ride.

 

the reason i ask, some other cars that have ABS don't require 2nd person to pump the brakes. by turning car/key on and with constant pressure applied on brake pedal, abs actuator pumps the fluid automatically & out come fluid when bleeder valve is cracked open. quick & simple

 

just wondering if this is the case on this vehicle

[Help Out A Newbie With Brake Flush]

01 qx4 with 70k, brake pedal feels mushy comparing to new. searched, but couldn't find anything on the forum. any one have step by step instructions for a flush job?

 

it's front disc, rear drum, & abs, if that helps

thanks,

[Coolant Flush And No Heat]

You have air in the system. Open up the radiator and keep topping it off while it runs until you can't add any more.

 

problem solved

 

thanks,

[Coolant Flush And No Heat]

I did a coolant flush today, only from the radiator drain location and refilled with same amount 50/50 mix. started the car and let it warmed up, but no heat at full hot setting (car has auto temp). any suggestions?

 

thanks,
