I decided to replace the plugs at 22k miles -- thought I'd try some of those iridiums to see if they made a difference, as some claim. The first surprise is that the original plugs had already eroded from the factory setting of 44/1000" to 54 - 57/1000" That's a lot of wear considering the...

I've been thinking about getting a set of sheepskin seat covers. A decent set is pretty expensive though, so I'd like to get some idea about what to expect first. Anybody had any experience with sheepskins? Any recommendations as to type, brand, source or important features?

I have the stock speaker system; to me, it sounds pretty good. Yet, I was wondering about upgrading the tweeters to pick up a little crisper sound. Is this realistic? Would this create any "balance" problems? What might be a good choice at a reasonable price?

Some of you may recall the old days when cars had vents -- wind wings, floor vents and vent positions in the heater controls. One by one they have disappeared. Now, if you want any (windows-up) airflow, you turn on the fan. This is OK, but it causes premature fan bearing failure, resister...

This mod will let you use the full range of your heater control without having to continuously run the fan motor. This conserves the fan motor bearings and electrical draw, while allowing a temperature controlled, fresh air flow through the cabin. Air flow will naturally depend on vehicle...

The objective here is to mount the GPS/Nav. antenna on top of the instrument cluster assembly and underneath the instrument cluster cowling. This procedure shows how to access the 7 screws that retain that cowling. (Steps 2 through 5 also apply to accessing the instrument cluster for...

I've used the platinum plugs as an OEM replacement, mainly because they last so long. You can just drop them in and forget it. Bosch (and others) is pushing their "plus 2" and "Plus 4" multiple gap plugs as a performance item. Bosch guarantees you'll notice a difference or they'll buy them...

Just upgraded my RAZ (am-fm CD Cassette) to a RB1 navigation unit. It was an easy swap. Even the antenna wasn't too bad to install (will post some pic's later in the how-to section). The RB1 is really a pretty amazing piece of equipment. It will take you just about anywhere by map (lots of...

Here are some products and tips that work pretty well in the exterior cosmetic department: Polish: I never met a wax I didn't like, but saw an excellent comparison recommending "Zymol Natural" liquid. ( http://www.nsxsc.com/nsexcitement/waxtest.html ) I tried some and agree. It gives an...
