The Random Question Thread

Do springs get worn out? I've replaced my shocks and struts, but the ride still feels.. Somewhat bouncy
 
In general, spring last the life of the car, but given the mileage on yours, I may consider replacing them.
 
What's a good rotor/pad set up for the Akebono BBK? The ones I bought from a fellow member here are on their way out

Thanks !

300,000miles? Wow. I am at 125k and I don't think it's going to last me till 200k. Things are starting to rust and creaks like crazy. Must be the cold

More than likely, I live down South.. so I see no ice nor road salt
 
Is there a Instrument Cluster self-test on our cars?
I'm trying to see if my vehicle sensor is faulty or the actual instrument cluster is.. Tachometer and speedometer act erratic at times and I have to smack the dash to get it on the accurate reading
 
I want to know you folks brand preferences for brakes and rotors.. what have you noticed is good on our fx/qx's?

I think it's an overkill on unmodified car, but they look good for sure!

Yeah i kind of figured that and obviously the weight saving benefits of these over 1 piece wouldn't be felt on our cars but yes they do look nice though so most likely get these since the ones I got vibrate horrible one they heat up.
 
Does anyone know what this black stuff is inside some of our coolant reservoirs? f8f634ffb9676824c0617d780e60c266.jpg

I think it's just crap from inside of the engine cooling system that gets stuck to the plastic. I took mine off and tried using the water hose to clean it off but don't think much came off.

What 20" black wheels do you guys recommend for my black FX? I thinking about upgrading my stock 18s. I'm also running Akebono BBK up front so I wouldn't know what size offset do I need.
 
Been looking at electric folding bikes for wifey and I and have narrowed it down to this one any thoughts?

Go Chrome! Nothing shines like freshly cleaned Chrome.
I put 230,000 miles on Chrome 20's on my black/black 2003 FX, now they are on my '13!

It's just a matter of taste, I know, but Chrome always adds a little "Bling!" Whereas the black wheels just look like you're riding on your spares once they get a little dirty..

IMHO White Black, makes no difference, " We all look better with a little Bling."™20's
