    local dsm mechanic that works weekends

    I'm looking for somebody to do work on my car on weekends. If you can help let me know, if work permits I'd be able to give a hand.

    2G power door lock only works with key

    My driver side door lock tries and fails to move when I use the keyless entry or buttons inside, but works fine if I use my key to unlock the passenger door. I assumed I needed a new actuator until I noticed this the other day, any tips other than replace it?

    boost gauge with no vacuum line repair

    So I bought a bunch of parts off a guy parting a spyder, one of the items being a xtune boost gauge. The boost gauge is missing the vacuum line out, is this something I can replace? If so how and what do I need. I opened the gauge up and see where I think it goes but that really hasn't helped me...

    3g steering wheel on a 2g

    Not to thread jack, but I have access to a 3g steering wheel and as much as I like it and as bad a shape as mine is in, I'm wondering what kind of issues ill run into, like I'm 6-3 so does the steering wheel cut down on my clearance and does swapping airbags put me into an unsafe spot? I like...

    a friend is scraping a 3g Eclipse, any parts I should be taking first?

    I would take the whole car, but I live in philly and have no driveway, sucks, especially because the body of the car is in amazing shape, I've got posts on craigslist for my boy, try to get him a couple dollars since I'm using his driveway, tools and car and taking what I'm gonna take.

    Can I put the top down with the windows up?

    So after a long battle with the nj dmv I can finally drive my car again. It's my first convertible so I'm a noob. 2 days ago the front roller guide on my back window broke, luckily my window didn't break when it fell, I've got it all mounted and secure, but if I put the window down there's a...
