    have you ever looked into any of the adhesives they use in autobody. 3m, lord fusor, evercoat and valvoline all make really good products. probly the best would be the evercoat since that one dont take a special gun, just a typical calking gun is all you need.

    Thanks, but we are just taking it back. Even if it were the bearings, there's no way I'd be able to do that in a 10x25 storage unit. lol, SO, we are looking for a civic hatch or coupe anywhere from 100-1200. This isn't the forum for that though, so just pm me. Close the thread.

    I have an older gm car with a 63 amp alternator with just the positive negative and the two regulator leads.....the alternator will not charge the battery in the car, it's an old chevelle that originally had a generator with an external regulator but the whole wiring harness looks like a total hackjob....I just need to find a quick and easy way to make it charge so I can drive it and not have to worry about it not starting back up, plus I need lights at night, any suggestions?

    It is a bit more "advanced". More places to change things....... It also does not have a knock sensor reading. Has 16 points for adjusment. But with the NEO, it uses your first 2 adjustment points as the RPM levels for the affects of the decel air. My first to points are 800 and 1200, and by the time i get that low, car floods out. I just tried moving those points to 1000 and 1500 and it has helped but not much. I guess the decel air setting is more for maf cars them map cars. It cheats the signal to the ecu to take out alot of fuel when in what ever% you want it to and below, like for cars with atm. BOV and a MAF. You blow off, air exits system that has already been measured by your maf. This air missing from the system will cause it to run extremely rich. The decel air setting is suppose to correct this so your car doesnt die while coasting..... or throttle revs while not in gear.
