    Raleigh Area windshield replacement

    For 100 windshields, would highly recommend purchasing new outer trim molding and inner trim strip that covers rivets, and the rivets of course. Recently did a friend’s windshield, used Transparency Auto Glass out of Garner. Jace and Daniel were careful, no extra charge for a second trip after I...

    I just got mansplained by a young lady on Marketplace selling a 4Runner. The listing was lacking critical information and I asked if it was 4x4:bang:...I can't bring myself to respond. ;)

    Official ONSC member buying/selling thread

    looking to borrow/rent an engine stand for 3-4 weeks. If not, I'll be buying a 2000lb Harbor Freight unit and offer it half price when I'm done if any interest- Apex/Cary.

    Honest and reliable mechanic in Raleigh

    Jay and Co. did my TB, steering rack, lift install back in 2012, no issues. I’ve since graduated to doing all work and recent TB job, complete suspension/CV Refurb myself, but would trust them over any other shop in town. Maybe you’re already prepared, but would have new flanges installed, and...

    CSI anyone? Things that make you go hmm..... Woke up this AM to assess damage from the storm. This hurricane was a wuss (thankfully), just noticed one random limb in driveway- thunderstorms usually yield much more yard debris. Nearby the limb, I notice some large tire ruts just off the...

    Emissions inspection change in NC

    Just had my 99 inspected last week, and they charged a $16 fee for safety inspection here in Wake County. On a semi related note, I received my registrations for my LC, and daughters 06 acura today. It seems the acura went up in value from $5400 last year to $7100 this year. It’s the only...

    You have been SPOTTED!

    Perhaps already posted-JPN Auto Imports--- I was passing by on a trip from Franklinton today and noticed the Cruisers and jerked the wheel to pull in rather quickly. Large ditch at roadside mandated close up pics only, but you can check out their website for more info. There's a BJ74 for sale...

    You have been SPOTTED!

    Counted five Hundys on Shell island, within a half mile stretch yesterday on my way back from an ice run. This one that appeared next door this morning makes six, multiplying like rabbits. All on the west side of the beach road.

    NC DMV website.

    New website is horrible. You have to enter your title info before checking on tag availability. Lame 'text messaging' style interface that someone in gov't thought was cool. Someone should lose their job for approving this. Old site worked fine, no hassles. Go figure.

    AC compressor knowledge/ local referral in Raleigh/Cary?

    Well, maybe just luck but it was simple. I pulled the old shim (washer) at 1.5 mm, carefully inserted the .5 and .3 shims, tightened the 10mm screw for the clutch (lightly I might add, not sure the torque spec) and the clutch worked. I just checked the new gap now, and I'm at .65mm. When I did...

    AC compressor knowledge/ local referral in Raleigh/Cary?

    @uzj100, thanks again for the thread linked above. Bought the new shim pack for $1.60 at FAT Parts and after 45 mins under the hood this morning, my AC is back in business. It's all about the airgap...and ball bearings these days.... Cheers:beer:

    AC compressor knowledge/ local referral in Raleigh/Cary?

    Thanks for this! I believe you are correct, I need to have the proper air gap! I logged onto OTRAMM's weekly youtube Q&A tonight, and he mentioned this issue as well. It seems you can't just yank off the clutch and replace it (can't be that simple), you have to get lucky with the proper...

    AC compressor knowledge/ local referral in Raleigh/Cary?

    Did some work on my hundy last week: timing belt, bearings of all sorts, valve cover gaskets and radiator replaced. I also replaced the bearing for the AC pulley. After butttoning all up, everything is great, but my AC clutch won't engage, and I have the blinking light indicating some kind of...
