I've had the same prob and used the aluminium (like from a coke can) and it reduced greatly. If u are trying eliminate rattle also check the shims for the brake pad. Over time it becomes loose and doesn't hold in the pads as tightly as it once did.Jade_Inc. wrote:Tbh I used some strips of plastic bottle and put it in the caliper and the noise eased up a bit...

Ok. I'm listeningDave wrote:Lol you guys just put yourselves in line for a caliper replacement. The best home made remedy without long term effects is silicone. Those calipers are so soft even plastic wears them.
Also if you understand how a caliper works you also just restricted movement causing pads to wear unevenly.
The same place u were putting the home made shims. The silicone with the left over grease will never harden but will act as more of a cushion for the pin that is slack.Albezel21 wrote:Ok.

Putting silicone where exactly?
The secondary O2 is a sniffer and shouldn't be in direct exhaust fire. When condemning the cat you need to space this O2 away from the direct gases and you won't trigger any MIL lights. You can also write to the ECU and disable that O2 sensor.Alsam2415 wrote:hay guys in desperate need of some advise and help, I have a 2012 Galant fortis which gives off a high carbon scent when rpm reaches 3k.
I took it to a exhaust shop which told me there are no leaks and I can remove the inside of the catalytic however he also told me that my car looks like it have two catalytic converters which he never encountered.
So I decided to do some research and came across some info which said that if I remove the inside the o2 sensors will go crazy with the air fuel mixture and that the car can potentially back fire as well as some about the honeycomb pieces if not removed properly can het into the engine causing damage.
So guys I'm confused as to what my options are without major consequences. Pls can someone share some light on my issue and if this option is avaliable where is highly recommended to get this done. pls helpp..

Had a CK4, then CS and am now looking at getting the CY from DM.
Currently priced at 185. Their 7 year plan seems attractive if you out 40% down. From my calculations, it may be cheaper to go this route considering ur getting fully comp insurance.
Not the route I'm going...but thought it would be good to share.
Hoping that the lancer treats my family and I well, since I plan on treating it well.
JUS4SHO wrote:Hey if you have kids and use car seats I would look away from the lancer. The option for isofix or top tether anchors was not considered important for this family car. Be weary the salesman will tell you it is equipped. But when you are ready to install the child seat you will realize that it is absent.

The dealer has none in stock, and when i showed the relays and asked the people at the 4 or 5 parts places I checked thus far they all watched them with eyes opened wide and said "Nah boy".
Any help is appreciated.

17x7 (7.5) 225/50/17 or 215/50/17?
The availability wider selection of good 17" tyres have me thinking of switching from the stock 16's.
What offset? Not looking for fancy or anything like that.
That is the correct part number. I have one available if interested.
