That is by no means a heavy clutch. If anything its a bit too light. It is responsive at least. What exactly makes a clutch heavy vs. light? Is it as simple as the weight of the clutch disc? Or is it how hard the pedal is to push to the floor and keep there? The clutch is my Mazda 3 seems very ligh...

We took our inaugural trip in the school bus this past weekend and of course it ended poorly. Bus wouldn't start. Turns out the starter was internally shorted and arcing to the block. After two hour-long round trips to parts stores and a hope-this-works starter, we gave up. The closest starter we c...

go for it while you're young; i'd rattle my bones apart trying to daily one of those.

forgot to comment on this the other day...good on you for moving forward with your plans and getting things done, no matter how little you may think you're getting done. wish i could say i had the same determination and organization (and energy). other than trading for a new (to me) car, paying some...

Gold Cloud in for servicing. Sunroof rattle and what sounds like tranny whine (high rope). Got a loaner which is even more clouderific than my Gold Cloud: a pearly white cloud RX 350. White Cloud soaks up the bumps better than a heavy duty sponge. Has telepathically automatic headlights. Good base (...

Yes, looks just like that. But it's black. Its handsome thing but just devoid of any feel. It felt nice on the test drive..the radio is also balls in it. I need to get it updated. I feel your pain. If it's the same manual as was in the 2011 2.5 Jetta I GET IT . Two overdrives effectively hide any p...

So, I was driving it in a somewhat spirited manner (revving to 3k instead of 2.2k) and holy crap the rev hang. By the time I would shift into the next gear and look down the revs would only be a few hundred lower than where it started. In some instances, it was higher... Please tell me all new cars...
