Hey I fully admit I was dumb. I thought the guy sitting in the lane with his signal on for four seconds meant he was waiting for me to pass. I was a dick. I will own up to it.

My knowledge of electrical systems and the magical pixies contained therein is severely lacking and I'd really like to watch you go through the steps of getting everything where it needs to be. It's actually already really really well documented.

Or maybe he was waiting for the actual left lane to start and signaling his intention to enter that lane when legal to do so.

So when's the engine swap happening? Cars with a low drag coefficient make great standing mile cars.

My dad had a Prius but he got tired of it plowing snow whenever there was more than 3" on the ground so he traded it in on a non turbo Forrester, which are massively lame and also exactly what my mom (independently) bought.

PenisMonkey posted:My first choice was a Hellcat Challenger but alas, all the dealers around here are fuckholes. A couple days ago I just noticed some nearby dealers have gotten their head out of their rear end far enough to discount leftover 2016s. And even the ones with their heads still firmly up their rear end have at least taken the ADM off their 2016s so now they're listed at MSRP at least. A Hellcat at ~6 grand of MSRP starts looking pretty enticing even if it is a model year old. I'd get one if I weren't on a quest for a 4x4.

When I left the state I scrapped it but sold springs and engine to my buddy with the white car, so now that thing has the bigger turbo motor and sits real tall.

So recently I had the opportunity to obtain my Grandmothers car, as she is in her 90's and does not want to drive anymore, she bought it brand new in 84 and it's spent most of it's live living in a farm garage with fairly regularly servicing. I have had a soft spot for it since I first rode in it when I was a baby. It's in pretty good condition, having just managed to tick over 80,000kms. It has a sweet sunroof and I plan to use it as my summer cruiser, with perhaps a bit of tinkering and tuning, exhaust/suspension/carb and restore the wheels to their original state with some fresh tyres. 1984 Honda Accord EX

It's so nice that I would probably start just by rubbing something like a 303 Aerospace Protectant into the bumper. The detailing thread probably knows more. What a gorgeous car. Take good care of it.

I feel the same really, I mean it has some sentimental value to me, but it's actually really nice to drive, it does not have all the horrid 80's emissions stuff, so it's pretty zippy. The interior is basically perfect too.   So amber  Gotta know when one of the doors might be open, it's very hard to tell otherwise! I plan to work on the exterior trim and such over the next couple of months when I have some free time. lil bip fucked around with this message at 20:45 on Jan 17, 2017 |
