Is this something I should take care of ASAP, or is it just an aggravating noise? I'm not sure the next time I will be able to get the car up to add friction modifier.

I'm guessing this is tech, if not, please move to the correct spot. Hope someone can help me out here. Lately I have noticed that on occasion my car will make a whining noise while turning into a parking spot. I swear it sounds like it is coming from the back of the car. The only times I...

I just recently moved to the Manassas area and after giving my car a good washing today, noticed that years of being a daily driver in NY have really messed up the front bumper and hood with rock chips. Does anyone know of a reputable place in the Northern Virginia area who would do a good...

Are you running cats? I had a cat go bad and it sounded almost like an engine knock under the car.

Mike did my 4.10's as well a few months ago. Great workmanship!

Thanks Dave... Yeah, my best run was my first where it was a 9.08 or something (slips still in the car). The rest were consistent 9.7's so I called it a night. I might go back Wed and try lowering the tire pressure more and softening the rear suspension, see if that improves anything. If...

Yes, traction control was off. That would be the best way to describe it actually.

Went to Old Dominion Speedway last night and am still trying to figure out what the car was/was not doing. Since I was on street tires, I was leaving the light with the rpm's pretty low in order to reduce spinning. Surprisingly, the car took off fine, but when I hit 2nd the trouble started...

I got a slight leak in mine as well. Noticed it last week. Going down to MAP in Richmond Saturday to have it fixed and put 4.10's in as well. I have heard it is not that bad of a job, but the local Midas by me wanted close to $300 to fix.

I'm going to Mike next Saturday to have 4.10's put in, can't wait!

What was the outcome of this? I just moved and found that I have the same leak while having an inspection done. The only place I have near me to repair the car (on short notice) is a Midas.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Sorry if it was confusing, but yes I was asking if I would do damage if I went back to "dino" oil after years of synthetic.

Ok, so I was moving and needed a brake job before I went and told the guy to change my oil as well. 2 weeks later after moving and I notice that the reminder sticker says to change after 3k miles, not the usual 6k that they have marked in the past. I have always done synthetic there, but...

I'm seriously thinking of trading my car in next year and going for one of these. See how the job looks in Sept.

Glad I stumbled across this thread since I just moved to Manassas and know no place good to go to.
