Seat Safety Switch posted:Yeah, I think I'm the only guy lovingly restoring and modifying a stock '92 Civic tape deck; there's no way the core audience is going to put in more effort than a recap job for a Soarer. Got any tips on how to unfuck my Protege's tape deck? I think the head must be hella dirty because the radio works but I get almost no sound out of a cassette.

That motor has got to weigh a good amount more than the Renesis, so there goes that sweet 50/50 balance. Still surprised it fits though.

Eh, I dunno if I'd want to bid on that thing. I'd wait to see if the winning bidder even buys it, then if not contact the seller and low ball them.

I'm not sure if you mentioned it already, but how much would it cost to source an LS? You can still get one there right? Given your other options it sounds like it would be worth the extra coin over a Ford 3.0 which IIRC have a horrible timing chain design that likes to poo poo itself. Just ask Kastein about them, unless I'm thinking of a different motor.

Couldn't you save money by having a goon just ship you one or something so you don't have to pay taxes? Hell, have someone ship you a truck motor from the US and save even more money. IDK, just throwing poo poo out there, it would be a shame to put a V6 in that thing when a V8 would fit.

drat, nice GS. Looked at a few of those but they were still a bit out of my price range so we got the LS instead. Not complaining though, these cars are awesome. I'm seriously thinking about replacing the Camry with a RX300 and turning it into an urban assault CUV Although I've read that the V6's in the RX300 have sludge issues, is that accurate?

Bibendum posted:I'm about to buy one for the family, watch out for the 08-09's with the oil consumption issues. Ah gently caress. Is it a problem that Scion has confirmed? If you have any good links to the info that would be great, otherwise I'll just do some searching It seems like every model has some sort of quirk to avoid at one point or another over it's production and trying to avoid buying the year/generation with that one nagging issue is a PITA. Glad I know about this one now. [edit] After a bit of researching I thought it was odd that the problem only exists in the first couple of years of the XB2, even though it continues to use the same motor through all years of the model (2AZ-FE) and sure enough, there are still issue in later years cropping up. Probably due to the later years going up in mileage I would imagine. So gently caress that, not taking a risk on getting a motor that's going to start consuming a quart of oil ever 1k miles. I'm just going to get a manual Honda Accord I guess

From what I've read it doesn't matter, cars that had been regularly maintained at the dealer still had problems and required engine replacement.

Darchangel posted:Hang on, why would your insurance need to pay out for the fire? Wouldn't that be the structure owner's liability? Yeah, I imagine there might be some sort of class action suit from all the vehicle owners, if so jump on that poo poo and maybe you will eventually get fully compensated for everything. I bet there were a lot of people happy from getting out of their car loans though
