Eric I want to see more Integra videos!! I have a 1994 Integra GSR. Absolutely love it! Would love to see and hear more about your Vigor too. I need to catch one of your QA sessions so I can actually ask you about them haha.
Hello Eric 1992 dodge b250 318 v8 hard to start or long start takes a lot of cranks to get it fireed and running, New plugs, new fuel pump,new filter,new fuel pressure regulator, new cap and rotor. any ideas?
Eric.. Hey man, I seen the video on the Montana mini van. My hat was off for you brotha.. I've been their many times myself, you handled it well, and you still posted the video. I really admire that. Good job, your one hell of a guy
Someone said that Jay Leno is going to be in some future videos talking about the Fairmont project. And he might be at the meet up. Cool, Jay Leno is a huge car guy himself.
sticking lefts is their anyway to drill new drain holes in heads of gmc motor metal in oil filter is motor done in?????
Disagree with the fact that euro cars limit A/C for fuel economy reasons. My 2006, 2013 and 2014 vw/Audi cars have had much stronger a/c than our dodge pickups and Ford cars.
Hey Eric, I see you're getting a lot of mail , I got one more for you to consider. I've got a 2004 Nissan Maxima v6.I'm having trouble with the air,I get a whining noise when I turn it on.I've checked the pressure levels and Freon, they are within parameters .I don't think it's the clutch, I get cold air. Is it the compressor ?
Hello,Eric i have a wuestion on a 1993 Mercury Topaz where do check the power steering fluid?Thanks subscribed👍🏽
So you're saying using Monroe Quick Struts on Honda Element is a poor choice?
My bought-new 2004 Element (34 miles on the odo) had poor heating the first winter and poor A/C the first summer-until I changed the cabin filter. It was so full of leaves and seeds that I had trouble sliding the 2 filters out.
After changing the filters I had to dial down the A/C from Max cool/max fan to regular cool, low fan.
Moral: Never trust deal prep.
ETCG needs a Powerful young Jamie to run the ship while he focus' on the heavy side of things.
nice shop eric
@ the guy with the ABS repair, I used a length of rubber fuel line to insulate the wire with no problem.
@charlie000222 I'm not familiar with your vehicle, but I had a truck that made that kind of rattling sound, like a shopping cart in a parking lot. I was missing rubber bushings around the banjo bolts in the front brake calipers.
GSR – Awesome purchase! Looking forward to videos on this.
Buy my car? Has a blown head gasket though, but I believe your more than capable of fixing it.
Question… Will Hilary win the election?
is the fairmont going to be a sleeper?
So any new Vigor stuff goin on in your life, Eric?
Nice teg, still looks good
do you have mechanics working for you?
is your shop working 10 hours a day?
in other words is your business a normal business?
if not how the hell you survive?
do you feel your business is like church?
Hi Eric
I put new struts on my wife's 1999 honda civic LX sedan and I was not going to pay 1000 dollars a piece for all the parts. I used ones I bought from AM auto parts Leacree and they are wonderful ride like new.
