I am curious to know how much nickel is mined for the average hybrid car battery? I’ve heard hybrids toted as the solution, but nickel is a finite resource which must be mined. As I understand it the batteries are extremely heavy composed of mostly nickel.

I just bought a ‘99 Toyota Tacoma with the TRD package. Can anyone tell me what some good modifications are as far as air intakes, headers, etc.? I’m especially looking for people who have already done these modifications and what kind of gains they got from them.

I’m trying to find out how much nickel goes into a standard hybrid car battery.

It would be great if the answer could include the nickel amount in lbs.

Thanks

A friend has a 2004 used Pontiac Sunbird with 31,000 miles. It failed the emissions test because of a bad o2 sensor. Would the o2 sensor be covered under a federal emissions warranty for up to 7 yrs or 70,000 miles and be replaced for free by the dealer ? Thanks.

I know it will get a timing belt, tensioner and water pump. Should the crank and camshft seals be replaced? Is there anything else that should be replaced as a preventative measure? My Lexus has 106,000 miles on it. I know the belt should have been replaced at 90,000 miles but I did not find that out until it had 105,000 miles on it.

Again; what is the official name of the exterior paint color of a 2002 Lexus IS300 that is bright red?

I need an instruction guide so I can install a window motor on my pontiac. I need to find a book that will tell me step by step how to do it. It would be a plus if it had pictures because I’ve never done anything like this before. I’d rather learn instead of paying $500.

I just purchased a Lexus 440H which has a cool blue tooth hands free phone system. I have a Blackberry 7100G phone and my wife has the Razr, both Cingular. I can’t figure out how to transfer the phone book information via bluetooth from either phone into the Lexus phone book. I successfully paired both phones and can call from either, but have to dial manually. I tried using my laptop which has bluetooth and a way to transmit Outlook Phone numbers, but my PC and Lexus do not want to pair up (I think the Lexus is only looking for phones). Help!

I Bought a used 2001 Toyota Camry under the impression that it gives good gas mileage (about 24 mpg in city and 28 mpg on highways). However, I’m shocked to note that my camry gives about 17mpg in city. Does anyone know the cause and / or how to get this fixed.
