Cage posted:It should still fit a double din radio. My dad has a 09 marquis with a double din, the mounting kit just required a slight bit of dremeling/shaving. I'm pretty sure Holdbrooks had a touchscreen double DIN in his P71 when I rode in it. drat if I remember what year model his car was (I just remember it was the final generation), but it's not like they did many updates on the Panther platform over the years. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Oct 23, 2017 |

Rhyno posted:Holy gently caress Amish people are racist as gently caress. Whoa, I can understand some of those isolated communities having issues with outsiders, but never directly to anyone. Also I hope the surgery works out, it's always a tough wait when someone is having work done. The seller took the offer on the Tracker! I've just got to go get it at this point. One minor issue is I can't drive a stick-shift. This guy's out in the middle of nowhere, so I don't have many worries about taking it back the long way through the backroads, but it's the starts in town that are worrying me a little bit. I did revisit an infamous thread, the 300ZX thread, because for what it's worth, that thread gave some excellent advice (several times over) on the proper way to get acclimated to a clutch and shifting for a first time manual driver. My manual experience is very very limited, I did have some practice a long time ago, but it was a right hand drive car and I barely had my learner's permit at the time! I'll make sure to take a ton of pictures when I get it, I've already ordered some parts I'm gonna need! Luxrage fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Oct 23, 2017 |

I trained my wife's 15 year old teenage girl cousins to drive stick on our Tracker, if you get the concept of driving a stick then you'll be fine. More throttle and controlling movement with the clutch seemed to be good advice for them, the car revving high but not moving was way better than too little throttle and the violent lurching. efb what commie said

Once you understand what is going on, 99% of it is just training your left foot to be more precise.

Geo trackers are great baby's first stick shift. 1st and 2nd are pretty low, so its REALLY hard to stall. Clutch is forgiving. 2nd-3rd is a little long - rev it a bit higher, then 3-4-5 are easy-sweet. Downshift 3/2 is ugly for a while, but most people get it without creating too much scrap metal.

Applebees Appetizer posted:Lol I love the artsy shot, quite the contrast of a pretty sunset and beat up car Departing RX-7, and new hoopty:  Enourmo posted:Finally ordered parts today to put my Kenwood into the P71. Apparently the stock radio is some weird 1.5 DIN size, hopefully the pocket on the kit I ordered is better than completely useless. I'm getting pretty sick of the local radio stations' lack of good music, I miss Pandora so much. Double DIN will fit, at least in my 2005, with a little work. The kit I got worked fine - it snaps into the dash trim like the OEM radio. Mine is a Scosche. Also took a half-down deposit on the '84 RX-7 cluttering up the garage. He's going to pay the other half and pick it up next Saturday. He plans to fix it, then ship it to Puerto Rico. At least I know it will be loved, there.

So great for spinning things off/on lightly, but I hope you can fit a real tool in there for the important bits of torquing a bolt.

Culvert and stream seem no worse for wear, although I'm constantly in doubt of the overall health of that particular bottom-rusted-out culvert pipe. Driveway is hosed. Will be buying a tractor this week. Rhyno posted:Dad's surgery went well. The old man's gonna live to see me get married. Good news!
