    There is also an electric pump offered by Stainless Steel Brakes for just this situation. The pump kicks on below 18 in. of vacuum and shuts off at 22 in.

    98 Honda Civic - tune up question

    Sounds like a problem I had at one time with my wife's 1996 Civic. Thought I would replace the plugs with a set of Bosch Platinums. BAD idea. Car ran terrible under a load (accelerating). Had it checked out and the plugs replaced with the OE NGK V-Power spark plugs and the problem was solved.

    B&M MegaShifter question

    Very little difference between the two as both can function as a detent or a ratchet style shifter. For some reason the Megashifter is listed for some later model transmissions.

    B&M MegaShifter question

    Starshifter - In the normal mode the StarShifter is a straight line detent shifter. When the lever is in Low, lift the trigger all the way and pull the stick back to convert to ratchet action. Move the stick forward for the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts. Cannot be used with reverse pattern valve body...

    How Many Miles Before Cleaning the FIPK K&N Filter??????

    Rich is correct, 50,000 miles is the normal service interval for a K&N filter. They base their Million Mile Warranty on this schedule. Supposedly after 20 cleanings the filter media will degrade and not filter as well as it should. 20 cleanings X 50,000 miles = 1,000,000 miles.

    New Orleans flooding question

    I've heard stats that they sink an average of 1/3" per year. This rate has increased do to flood abatement measures which have slowed the amount of silt that is deposited in the area. Also sea levels have risen and eroded some of the natural barriers to the sea. All of this worked toward a...

    Disney World Vacation

    If you stay off site and don't want to pay the $8 a day to park... Go to the Boardwalk, park there and then take a liesurely boat ride to the park. One advantage to this is short lines for the boat ride back to the Boardwalk at the end of the day. If I remember correctly you can go to Epcot...

    Missing bolt from day one?!?

    Most likely the rear sway bar link. I know in the past there were problems with them coming loose. Thought it had been fixed. I guess they really do need to put the Loc-Tite on them?!

    K & N air filter

    Some say it makes a difference. Some say no difference. K&N doesn't claim improvements with the drop-in filters, though most seem to see very modest gains. K&N's main appeal is that the filter is cleanable and reusable for one million miles (20 cleanings every 50,000 miles) and that there...
