I'm currently on the lookout for a new DD which will probably be a (not cut in half) Festiva or an older GTI.

I was getting an abysmal ~20mpg awhile back. Replaced my MAF. Here's from my trip to Tahoe. Check that poo poo out - 28.8mpg, CD and cassette.  (Also new SID2).

 Picked it up yesterday. Lots of miles, but no rust or oil leaks. Iffy interior but silky-smooth engine, trans, and suspension. Needs new tires, but it was a great price. The 09 Fit Sport is also mine.

 1966; C-code 289; "Cruise-O-Matic" transmission. Forty-four years of lounging around in California, only to be brought over to England in its dotage and exposed to rain, potholes and ambient volcanic ash. That is, believe it or not, my only car. It costs me a fortune to run and I love it.

My new Trabbi: The front:  The engine:  The back:  Sorry for the small pictures. This is the first car I've ever owned. I just bought it this week. It's in mostly good condition but someone put a horrible silicone sealant on the roof, and I need to fix that. It's running surprisingly well, but it will be a nice project car  .Also anyone know of a good replacement engine, because I might want something larger. I was thinking of a V5 engine.

MATLAB 1988 posted:You forgot the best part of your dash Bought it with the dash cupholder busted. Not replacing it until every last loving lamp in the dash is dead. Thinking of replacing them with LEDs, but just can't be bothered, because I want to replace the instrument cluster too - this one has the 'no loving turbo gauge? You have to be kidding me' builds. 43 loving bulbs and each one about $2 for a generic. I quite like the 'night panel'. When you're grocery shopping at 1am driving through rural Nevada, there's nothing to distract you from the lights on the dash, SID, stereo, et al. Not a fan of the 07+ Opel controls or 'looks like an afterthought' DVD nav insert. I was really disappointed in that, so opted to not go for it with the 2k8. I use this:

Yeah, just the brand name for the auto they offered at that point in time. I think there was a degree of expectation-setting in its naming: you're sure as hell not going to be doing big-timey standing starts with that gearbox. At some point in the future - this year, hopefully - I'm going to fit a later model AOD transmission to the car so that I can reap the benefits of an overdrive gear. First, though, it's getting some new suspension.

You are on drugs if you think the C4 isn't suited for "big-timey standing starts". Nice car, though.

Perhaps my one's just tired then, because I swear to God about a tenth of the torque generated by that engine makes it to the wheels.

I think I'm finally done installing custom woodwork, I've done the wheel, shifter, a/c vents, and the instrument cluster. The next step will be the AMG racing seats and an interior leather conversion to a silver/black Nappa leather scheme. Click here for the full 1600x1200 image. I also deleted the full taillight blackout in favor of only covering the white strips.  Click here for the full 1280x960 image.

Haha, I had that same transmission in my 66 Galaxie. The cool thing about that trans is that you can start in second gear for better traction in the snow. Your not starting off in second, are you?

Your not starting off in second, are you? It's probably about as fast as it should be. I haven't timed it properly, but it feels like it takes somewhere around the 11 second mark to hit 60 if you try hard-ish, which as far as I can tell is about the right territory. The hesitation off idle doesn't really help the perceived get-up-and-go, of course, and neither does the back catalogue of cars I have to which it ends up being compared.

That looks extremely similar to a stock C63 AMG exhaust. I really like the updates you did to the interior, it makes it look a lot more like a Benz and less like a Hyundai.

Finally had time to take some photos. Washed it and everything too. On the way to the empty lot, some seagull poo poo right above the rear window and I had nothing to wipe it off with. As a result I did not take any rear photos.   Gonna redo them someday somewhere else.

In camera. In ones I took with more depth, I didn't like the houses in the background. I thought it would be a decent place to shoot but I was wrong. This one wasn't bad I guess:
