Up until the Japanese began making 100k-mile cars there was no
logical reason to build a 100k mile car here in the US. It wasnt
about quality - it was about profitability. Why plate the block in
24k gold when the buyer was probably going to scrap it in five
years? When the Datsuns and Hondas...
You cannot compare design obsolescence of any modern to car
to any other car built after 1930. I have no idea where this
concept popped up, but Id like to kick the guy who coined it
square in the balls for starting numerious fights on other forums.
"Oh, the BA10 in the jeep is pretty much...
Soft parts do, hard parts dont. Most cars today are built soft
for safety and fuel economy. Id be surprised if even some of
these pampered cars (Enzo, Pagani, ect...) are even drivable
in 100 years while Model Ts are still being driven today...
Dont mix! Orange and Pink coolants use acids as a replacement
to glycol - some of those dont play well with each other. Even
pink to pink can sometimes cause issues.
When I switched over to mopar pink, both the SRT guy and Tator
had me flush the system several times to make sure all the other...
Very Nice! To me a well maintained 100k car will always have
more value than a 10 miles MSO trophy. Modern motors are
built to last a lifetime - the rubber/electronics, not so much
when you stop using them...
I'd listen to whatever Tom is PM'ing you about. Beyond that,
a Gen1 motor will be cheaper, easier to find, and give you the
least amount of headache installing. The bonus 15hp (for 96-98)
and/or 50hp can be found in upgrades.
She suddenly decided to power up and run... just long enough
to move the 10ft I needed to clear the lift for jacking her up.
New Optima on the way... She's tapping baddly under the hood,
but I think I remember Tator telling me something about the
valves tap if she sits for too long... either...
No wheels are turned from when I pulled in...
The question I need answered is whether or not there is a
reason the underhood terminal is not working? Usually the
door poppers work once a power source is connect - not
this time. If there is a fuse or something I might be able to
get to that -...
Excellent plan... except I cant get to the battery until I move
the car from under the lift. Cant move the car until I can get
inside. Cant get inside until I get enough power to the doors.
Right not I cant get any power through the hood terminal at
all...
Its one of those "you chose to live in a neighborhood with an
HOA" senerios. Like Free said, get out your copy and see what
the actual text of the noise regulations are. You signed the
contract, so if it says noise must be kept within 87dbz you
might as well kiss your sports car goodbye.
Ive...
Installed a new diehard six months ago, been on the battery
tender ever since. Went to get in yesterday... nothing. No
power at all. Its under the lift right now so I cant get to the
battery itself, but I tried to start and jump it off the hood
terminal and could only manage a weak click. Left...
Are these trailer ramps or just booster ramps? Im looking
over the site but these look like the same ramps I used to
use to change the oil in my honda 20 years ago... Can you
clarify?
A lot of these auctions offer cars on consignment for either
professional flippers or family members unloading a loved
one's hoarde. In both cases the ongoing logic is that if you
dont know the car to just leave it be - a solid dirty car has
more value to a collector than a baddly polished...
For what its worth I am still trying to attend, but right now
Mistress is refusing to start at all. Been at it all afternoon,
re-charging jumper batteries now, but if they dont work
I dont know if i can make it either. This side of the bridge
looks to present a poor showing this year... sorry...
Hey jon, is this still on for tomorrow? Weather
reports out this way dont look too viper friendly.
I still plan to attend, im trying to get two others
to join me, but they will not bring their cars out
if it looks like rain...
