The only thing I liked about my old beater Integra was that I could see everything around me; came at a cost though, even with the a/c blowing 40F you couldn't cool the thing down in South Texas summers.

peepsalot posted:It's not a physical gauge, just something that displays on a little screen. It's more likely calculated based on the actual fuel consumption, based on rpm and injector pulse width, etc. The thing that makes it idiotic is the fact that it only has four discrete gauge positions and no units. Same with boost gauge and accelerometer, oh and a torque gauge also IIRC. The same reason that amps don't usually operate in any specified units: http://xkcd.com/670/ Most people couldn't give two shits about the units, just BIGGER NUMBARS

Root Bear posted:Correct. It's hard to tell in these pics, but I can only begin to imagine the elaborate steering linkage it must have now. Steering gear ripped off of a solid front axle vehicle? They're all basically the same; it might even be the same gear from the vehicle that donated the front axle.

Kotaru posted:I love this time of year; being in Texas the average summer temperature is well over 99F and muggy as hell, I dance with glee if I'm in my garage working in <60F once winter rolls around. All I need is 2 pairs of old scrubs from work and I'm perfectly content wrenching well into the night. Different strokes I guess. A-loving-men. I'll slap on some gloves (I wear them anyway when working on my Jeep) and wrench all day in the cold (as experienced by South Texas, 60F).

Yeah, I'd rather see people inflating one of those on a trail than using a hi-lift jack; someone there probably has onboard air that can do it without making a carbon monoxide pillow.

Snowdens Secret posted:Do all shops have a hot tank? Not sure about that specific shop but I'm not sure if your average tire change / muffler swap / brake job place has much use for one. It's usually done by a shop specializing in those types of things. It takes a big tank of rather nasty chemicals (sometimes several) to run hot baths. There should be a shop in any metropolitan area that performs hot baths.
