Well my mother called and said that she had hit a curb with her newish car. Put a 2 inch gouge in the side wall, but the tire still holds air. Now I know that you cannot patch/fix sidewall problems. The car is a 2007 Dodge Magnum AWD Hemi and has about 10,000 miles on it. I've always been under...

Well first of all, i don't often race, and especially since gas has been so expensive, I am even less willing. I don't often see CSVT's on this forum, so I thought Id give a change of pace. I've got really nothing done here, and the Cobalt didn't sound like it had anything done. So I figured...

So for the past couple of months my gas mileage has steadily been declining. I've gone through all the steps I can think of to try to get it back up. I've got all the tires properly inflated (front ones are brand new), took all the excess garbage and crap out of my truck (about 50 pounds of...

I've been reading into the moosing and the throttle hang fix, been reading all the threads i can on CEG. From what I've read up on, I still haven't decided if i am actually experiencing moosing or something different. It is definitly a foghorn type sound, coming from the drivers side underhood...

Hey all. Just purchased a Turbendz exahust. Got the stainless Steel, not the aluminized. Kind of worried about rusting, especially at the weld points (I've got a couple of extra because i sprung for them to weld on different tips). I've been looking around at some Hi-Temp paints. I know the...

Hey I've looked far and wide, and have only been able to scrounge up some really dark pictures of a Turdendz exhaust on a CSVT. Is anyone sitting on some or know someone that does have some. I'm really close to getting the system and I really just need to look at some pictures to see how the...

Hey I was just wondering how involved taking the headlight assemblies out and putting in OE replacements. I was hoping the contour.org had a tech article or at least could have looked around their forums, but the site seems to be down. From what i gathered of my search through these forums its...

Well I'll be having a few hundred dollars coming my way in the next month or so, and im not looking to modify the crap out of my car just yet. Something that I would really like to do is the exhaust, but whats the best option? I've looked at Trubenz and I think the Borla kit. The Borla kit...

Yeah I've had my contour for about 8 months or so, and I finally just called up SVT and found out my build date and build number, found that I'm 5234 and my build date was March 1998. From what I've found this would technically make mine a 1998.5 and an E1. Now what differences were there...

Yeah before the winter season, and before i have to do a lot of highway driving, I am wanting to try to run some injector and/or manifold cleaners through the engine. Now of course the easiest would be to run some injector cleaner through the gas tank, but I don't know how well these actually...

I've had my car for about 6 months now, and i know all of the business about free-revving, and thats why i never do it. I wanted to see how the car would sound at a stop, revved it to about 3500 rpm, and there was a very odd sort of noise almost sounds like something sticking open. It almost...

I got a new CD head unit because the stock one stopped working. I got it from Best Buy and they wanted $80 extra to install the new head unit. They said that had to wire the deck around the stock amp, and told me i needed to buy a new wiring harness to do this. Do i really need to wire around...

Yeah so I've owned and driven quite a few cars through my years, and many of them on the highway in the rain. But this is the first car to give me this problem. It feels like there is a layer of water between my pad and my rotor, and if ive been driving down the highway in the rain and get on...

I was going back from dinner tonight and pulling up to a stop sign. The car is fully warmed up and defrost is going (Its -20 with windchill). The rear defrost is not on and niether was the radio. Rolling down from about 40 to a stop and about 15 mph it just completely dies. I had noticed...

It started right before i got 2 new tires, and it has stayed even after the installation. It starts at about 15-20 mph and goes away around 45. It is a very low pitched vibration that i can feel in the wheel and in the gas pedal. I'm fairly sure it wouldn't be a wheel bearing because it seems...

Hey guys, I've got a friend who has a 2004 SRT-4 ACR. The kid can't get good gas mileage for the life of him, like 12-13 around the city. He says "i stay out of the boost" but somehow still gets bad gas mileage. So i suggested that if he is just driving around town, that he should just start...

Now i know that the rear seat backs fold down to open up the trunk for more space. But the problem i have is that when the seat backs are down they are on a 45 degree angle and actually eat up space that i could be using in my back seat. Should i be able to fold up the seat bottom? I tried to...

Hello everyone, I have a few questions about clutch replacement and price. I have been trying to look at replacement costs. I am not looking to go aftermarket because im not going to modify the car much if any. What can i expect to pay just for parts, and for installation? Thanks -Jon

I just bought a 1998 Contour SVT with 92,000 miles. There is an intermittent coolant light that comes on. It's winter here in chicago and i haven't been having any temperature problems. This is my first post on these forums but i am not unfamiliar with automotive forums. Any ideas, common...
