Thanks for the reply.

I was able to open the hood by removing the 2 x 10mm bolts that was holding the latch to the car. I went through the front grill with an extension on my socket. You need...

Hi all, looks like my cable broke or disengaged from the latch and now I can't open my hood from the inside pull lever. I google around and I couldn't a definitive way to open it from the outside,...

My AC stopped working 2 summers ago and I didn't want to spend the money replacing a new/rebuilt compressor because it's so involved, closed system, purging, refilling,etc. My understanding is that...

Fixed it this morning. Went to Can Tire to buy the part (Monroe 906981MM, 122-3928-6) for $50. Part source sells it for cheaper but I can walk to Can Tire. Also picked up an impact wrench and...

I have an extension bar, but my jack lift is too low, when I try to put force on bolt, the bar hits the ground. ah well. I think i'll just source an impact wrench instead.

It looks like an easy fix, I got the two bolts on top off easy, but the one at the bottom is too tight. Not enough clearance to put my breaking bar on it with my jack.

Any suggestions, should I...

Hey Guys,
One of my rear shock mounts broke yesterday. I was able to drive it home around 30kms, so hopefully I didn't create more damage.

I've been doing some reading on the forums and since I...

You just need to unplug the connector - it's located where the hood locks into the car, there's a wire in the latch, just follow it, it's under 12" long to the connector, just unplug that. You will...

Same thing happened to me, I am an occasional weekend driver, leaving my car parked for 5 days, and would come out with a dead battery.

I had the alarm go off randomly and unplugged the...

I noticed when I first use my AC it will blow cold air, but starts blowing warm air around 15mins afterwards. I stop the AC and leave it off for a while and try again and it will start blowing cold...

Try tightening you lug nuts, it was rubbing on the clip in my situation.

Does anyone know if Jimmy fixes A.C. systems? I noticed my ac blows warm sometimes. I usually bring parts for him, do I need to bring items for the ac system recharge?

Hey, I need to get my rear trailing arm bushing replaced soon. Do you mind me asking you how much that cost?

Any updates on this? I'll probably need to get parts sometime in June, wondering if the discounts are still available?

Maybe check that your lug nuts are tight. When I switched back to all seasons, I had clicking noise coming from the back when I braked lightly, once I tightened the lugs, it was gone...worked for me.

what's a good alternative to hawk hps?

I had this issue before, I solved my issue by replacing the hood latch pin.
See my previous thread.

Can you start it in Neutral? I had this problem and it had flaky starting issues in Park. Jimmy at street performance cleaned and fixed it, can't remember how much it cost, but it was under $50 i...

Nice, I picked up one through the RFD group buy - was it hard to do the install for the power magic box? I'm definitely planning to install it this way.

I think I solved my problem - Mine was because of a faulty switch/pin in the hood latch. I am assuming you have a stock car, you can unplug it for a temporary fix, just follow the wire and unplug...

I wanted to update this thread for future reference, I think I found what was causing my electrical drain. I had a faulty hood latch pin that was causing my alarm to go off periodically, so I...

I had to replace my handbrake cable because it would only catch on one of the rear tires. Bought the cable at Mazda of Toronto and took it to Street Performance to do the install. Total was under...

Thanks for the suggestions, I replaced the battery as a primary cheap fix, gotta love costco warranty.
I'll keep an eye on it for a while, and double check the door lights and other possible...

I go to my car this evening and my key fob doesn't, I manually open the door and try to start the car...dead, no lights, nada. Car is totally dead.

Last time I used the car was Sunday, so approx...

Same thing was happening to my car, I took it to Street performance and Jimmy fixed it for me. The shifting between gears is now very smooth like you said, that's the first thing I noticed, night and...
