    Head Gasket DIY...

    Hey all, haven't been on in a LONG time. 2006 4.0L head gasket usual business. Hoping for a bit of help on clarifying some details. What exactly is needed for the head gasket job? Doing this myself, not too worried about that. Just want to make sure I've got the right parts. I've seen a few...

    Bad Master Cylinder?

    It worked!!!!!!! The procedure is some straight-up witchcraft but it did the trick. I went through a ton of brake fluid ($100 of Motul RBF600 hahahaha) but that's cheaper than a tow truck and dealership labor. I've never seen brake fluid foam come out of a caliper before. Definitely a new...

    Bad Master Cylinder?

    I got a new MC and installed it. Got the part at wholesale and installation was really easy between me and my buddy. But it's definitely not bleeding properly. The brakes only work when the pedal is pressed to the floor, and anything less does nothing. Everything I'm seeing online points to...

    Bad Master Cylinder?

    I'll give it a shot! Thanks so much! Yep, I'm pretty pissed off about this. It's a SERIOUS safety issue. I was incredibly lucky to manage it and make it home without incident.

    Bad Master Cylinder?

    Thanks, I'll look into that, too. Btw, there aren't any warning lights, no buzzer... except while I was bleeding them, but shut off as I closed up each bleed nipple.

    Bad Master Cylinder?

    I've checked through some old threads and I want to make sure I've got this right since apparently a new MC is $2k :/ A couple days ago my brakes gave out while driving. They were perfectly fine on my drive to work. I left to run an errand at lunch, and they had no stopping power to them - the...

    '06 V6 HG Failure Early Warning (Sort of)

    I'm not sure if it was entirely related. I was doing about 45 mph when I laid into the gas pedal to pass, and it was super hot out (in the 90's), so maybe it was a combination of speed, gearing, ambient air temps... only conjecture, really. I only mentioned it because it's the only time I've had...

    '06 V6 HG Failure Early Warning (Sort of)

    Basically, a catch can is designed to capture oil vapors that would otherwise go into your intake manifold. An engine produces a lot of heat and pressure in various places aside from the combustion chambers - the heads, the crank case, the coolant passages. The heated, pressurized air has to be...

    '06 V6 HG Failure Early Warning (Sort of)

    Hey guys n gals, been a long time since I've been on here. I started a company dealing with Astons so I've been focused on that for the last several months. As part of it, I've been making videos for YouTube. A long time ago I started a thread for catch cans, and a bit of ignorance derailed it...

    Missing A/PUMP 50A and AIR SUS 50A fuses.

    If you don't have the air suspension, you won't have the fuses to support it. Try swapping out the gas cap for a new one.

    Carbon Fiber Hoods?

    Agree with most of this, except one thing: Weight reduction is not a one-bullet solution. Doing various reductions around the vehicle add up. 25 lbs here, 10 lbs there, a few here and around. I've dropped ~60 lbs from my Aston and I *do* feel it, mostly because of where I lost the weight...

    Brake upgrade?

    I just don't see the point of drilled rotors. If you want overall reliability, go with good quality blanks. If you want the functional benefits of drilled rotors, go with slotted. I run slotted rotors on everything - my previous WRX, STi, FD RX-7, and current Aston and 4Runner. Slotted rotors do...

    3D Printed Cup-holder Insert

    The problem I have is that the OEM cup holders don't work with anything I use. Water bottles, coffee mugs, and protein shaker bottles - none are quite right and fall over whenever I turn a corner at speed. The adjustment arm does quite literally nothing to prevent this. Is your design going...
