    Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    I'll definitely secure (Probably replace) the filter because it's really making me angry. And sadly, I've never heard a super charger. I'm lame :(

    Engine Noise / Ticking, Knocking, Tapping MERGED

    First off, please let me say I read, in depth, the other threads on this, and I couldn't find an answer. One thread was close, and everyone seemed to think it was a boost leak, but I have the 420a, so that can't be it.On to my problem. When I accelerate hard, my car makes this obnoxious...

    Exhaust whistle

    Did it affect performance or anything?I was listening to it again today, and I find it really strange that at a very certain point it starts to whistle. I'd back off the throttle until it was pretty quiet, then it would just stop, and with a hair more pressure, it would come back. If it were...

    Driving a manual

    Ok, thanks. The other day I did it again and nothing rumbled or shook, so I think it's all good. I appreciate the input, and I'll keep an eye out! They were supposedly replaced recently, but the mechanic who did the work on them wasn't the best, and I no longer deal with him. Thank you again!

    Exhaust whistle

    I'll give it a shot, but I have to wait for the snow to melt :-( No garage, or even driveway.And what do you mean Honda sound? The exhaust crackling? I didn't hit the rev limiter, and after I revved it, and let off the throttle, it crackled when it peaked and then went back down, not a...

    Exhaust whistle

    So I've been looking around, and the only thread I can find is where the OP has a whistle that gets louder at higher RPM. Everyone suggested an exhaust leak, but I have a slightly different problem. I hear a whistle noise coming from what I think is my muffler, but it could be anywhere behind...

    Tie rods and control arm question

    Thanks again :) I'll be sure to let everyone know how it went, and yes, I plan on getting it aligned right after I finish this.I have another question though; my mechanic wrote down what I need and he wrote "Left front (Rear) control arm" and the guy at the store said there is one straight...

    Tie rods and control arm question

    Ok, I'm stupid, there's nothing wrong with my inners. I guess I was just expecting the worst. I need both outer tie rods, and the left front rear control arm, and one of the guys at my local auto parts store is a really cool guy, and is going to help me do it, and since I don't have a garage OR...

    Tie rods and control arm question

    Ok, thanks Sniver. I'm definitely going to do the outers, but I might just let the mechanic do the inners, and take my learning slowly. My mom is already freaking out, begging me to let a professional to do the outers, but I'm deadset on atleast doing that much. I'll hopefully have this all done...

    Tie rods and control arm question

    I just wanted an independent source to check on what he might say. I think what I'm going to do is replace the tie rods myself, and have my mechanic do the ball joint and alignment, because he's very close to my house. As for the rim, my car doesn't pass inspection anyways because of emissions...

    Tie rods and control arm question

    Ok, apparently I was being pessimistic, and remember incorrectly. Fortunately, I do NOT need an inner tie rod, just both front outer tie rods, and a (I'm not sure how this makes sense) a "Left front rear control arm/ball joint". Are there two, or is my mechanic crazy? My left rear rim also has a...

    Driving a manual

    So I was screwing around earlier tonight with the gears and watching the RPM and at 4K in 1st, I'm doing like 20mph, and I can do like 55 or 60 at 3.3K or so in 4th. I feel like the speed is really high compared to the RPM. Is that normal for an Eclipse GS? I have an aftermarket exhaust with...

    just locked my keys in my car [Merged 4-8]

    Hey hey hey man, I love my sunroof!And guys, thanks for all the help. I have a story of my own to share :-P I went out to get ice cream with my little sister (Hardcore, right?) and as I was walking inside, I was like "Where are my keys?!" and instantly knew I forget them in the car. I...

    Door speaker cover/panel removal

    Oh, I know what you mean, I just don't have that, haha. And there's no spare tire under that board :-\ I checked today, but couldn't get it all the way out. It just seems like the bottom of the car, and maybe he wanted to raise it when he had subs or something.Mizak82: I appreciate the...

    Door speaker cover/panel removal

    What do you mean the trunk thingy? I don't have anything in my hatch that I could put speakers into, but then again the previous owner may have taken some stuff out, because right now the "bottom" of my hatch is a thick piece of particle board cut into the hatch shape, and I have no idea what's...
