I bought my car cash and didn't have much cash to pay a mechanic to do work to it. The lexls.com tutorials really motivated me. I have changed the rear carrier bushings, trailing arm bushings, differencial fluid, cleaned throttle body, serpentine belt, short ram air intake and did the seafoam treatment. I saved a ton of money and have brought out the best in the car. At 128,000 miles it runs amazingly smooth. Good luck

Good to hear. I am not real mechanical. I know nothing about cars. This forum has given me a wealth of knowledge, although I have never gotten my hands dirty with a car. I guess I should start with an oil change and work my way up to a brake job.

Four years ago, I was exactly as you were, but I decided if I could take apart most other stuff with success, why not try car? Of course, it is trial and error unless you have someone looking over your shoulder.

With those pictures on lexls.com or lextreme.com or here, you can't go wrong. You do have a point of reference.

Use that $$$ wasted on mechanics, invest in some tools, and you'll feel immediately better, not to mention you can help some pretty hot girls with their mechanical woes...works for me.

Even more motivation to learn how to fix cars.
