All,Been out of the game for awhile. Looking to buy a 97 GSX with 140K miles from a dealership (big name). Carfax checks out and from the pictures, it looks clean with no mods. I'm about 1600 miles away and would have to either pick it up or ship it. Couple of questions, there asking for...

Bringing back from the dead. Similar problem. The driver side master switch just the door/window lock/unlock buttons work but the buttons that control both windows work they feel like it. The passenger side switch works. I did notice the switch itself seems to be loose or deattaching from...

Pinpointed to be the vents on both doors. When I have the door vents open, no noises, but when the vents are closed, noises. I stock like a brush through the door vents to see if there were any obstructions, but didn't find anything...weird :confused: . Oh well, I guess I just have keep those...

Hmmm, funny you mentioned about the obstruction. It only started happening after I did my stereo install, but i didn't run any wires through the glovebox, just under it in the floor. I'm assuming the blower is behind glove box?Mine, you can starting hearing a liitle bit in the second...

I'm pretty sure its the blower fan but want to get opinions. When using the a/c or heat, the vents make a whining noise. It gets louder as increase the setting from low to high. It seems to be louder when using a/c or the cool air setting than when using the heater. No, the noise doesn't...

Yep, you guys are right. The speakers are 40w rms and 4ohm. I'm using the fader to balance it out. I thought I read on here don't bother with the rear speakers in cars like ours. Can someone explain this?

I'll double check to make sure I connected the harness correctly, but I'm pretty sure I matched up the wires. I don't have an amp power the speakers. The speaker wires are the oem with an adapter I got from crutchfield. Power sub is connected directly to the hu via rca cables.

Just installed a new alpine hu, front door speakers and self power sub. Rear speakers are stock. For whatever reason, my rear speakers are louder than the front. I have adjust fader controls to like 8 to have the front overpower the rears. Is this normal with just installing aftermarket...

Passenger side front speaker is blown and would like to replace it. I don't have the infinity sys so I believe the size is 5 1/4. Which aftermarket speaker do you all recommend to replace that doesn't require much modification and is a direct fit? Also would I need to get specialized speaker...

Awesome, Thanks!

That's what I planned to do is to crimp the two different size wires. Just wanted to make sure it was safe to do so :)

My car has pre-existing 12g power and ground cables running all the way to the trunk. I want to install this self amp/power sub: Kicker - Bass Station 10" Single Sealed Enclosure with Subwoofer - PT10 , which uses a proprietary plug with different 16g wires (power, ground, etc) wires that need...

got a low profile floorjack that does the job fine the front cross section of the car, however, I'm having problems with the rear. the jack will reach under the car where the service manual specify but the "pump bar" isn't long enough to reach past the bumper of the car for me to "pump' the...

one last question, should the vehicle be even like jacking it up on all fours, all just the front would be ok?

How do you know which hose is the one that spits and which one sucks the clean fluid? Or is this trial by error?

Thanks for all the responses. Anubis, might have to take you up on your offer. In better to prep myself, I bought the haynes book and looked up the DIY in tech section. The Haynes didn't mention about draining the coolant hose, just remove the pan and drain plug. So, is it necessary to drain...

Just checked my tranny fluid and noticed it was brownish (looks like engine oil). I'm assuming the previous owner last changed it at mitsu around 55K miles (I'm 91K currently). Both the local mitsu and chain store here does flushes as opposed to the drain and fill method. They also don't...

Ok. Just bought a 99 GS and the driver's side interior handle is broken, specifically the spring. Anyway, got a new one and is ready to replace. I saw the video and many pics on removing the door panel which will expose the handle with two rods attached to it. First, will I still need to...
