I love your shitrod projects. I wish I could turn over cars this quickly.

Yeah sounds like the reels in the adapter are gummed up. Any increase in friction basically triggers the auto-reverse functionality. This guy has a potential fix: https://fallenposters.wordpress.com/2006/06/28/the-perils-of-autoreverse/ Pictures, with further dodgy hacks in the comments: http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-cure-car-cassette-adapter-quotauto-revers/?ALLSTEPS Some of the mondo cheap dollar store ones have such terrible reels that happens right out of the box. Took me awhile of buying different kinds before I found one that would work in my car. Seat Safety Switch fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Nov 14, 2015 |

Yeah that sounds about par for the course with U-Haul. I'm a little surprised their franchises will even accept the liability for installing a tranny cooler. Dude who did the install totally knew he hosed up too, check out that double overtightened hose clamp action. Couple years ago we rented a U-Haul car hauler trailer for a long-distance run and ended up having to inflate all four tires, re-do the wiring (including the tail lights) and repack the wheel bearings which came to us dry.

To think I've been putting off doing control arm bushings.

poo poo, I bet that thing can swallow a 50 shot. Does the ECU like HPTuners? What happened with the reaction time there? I wish we had a drag strip here still so we could do an altitude-corrected "slowest car in AI" challenge. It's probably one of the stupid ACVWs though

Don't worry there's a place in the afterlife with all the biggest pineapples waiting for those assholes. Maybe if civilization collapses we can form an angry revenge mob.

I've always felt like auditing used ATF quality is more about smell than anything else.

Crimp and heat shrink is probably the ticket here.

That blows. You can fix it, though. I've got faith in you.

This has gone to the mental place that I both hoped and feared that it might. Godspeed.

I saw a thread on j-body years ago where some dude did an RWD conversion using a Camaro rear end and some bastard-insane Grand Am(?) rear subframe swap with a little fab.

Much better. Is it getting hard to find little trim bits like bumper fillers and headlight surrounds?

Left Ventricle posted:Neither car was fit this year, for a variety of reasons. Hopefully the wagon will be ready in time for next year's. Slowest car on the track! Guaranteed or your money back! We had a guy run a rascal scooter once. It started getting slower the further he went, and they had to restart the clock a few times because it locks up at 59 seconds. IIRC it was like 2:30 @ 10 mph.

I would never have guessed you could buy Pacesetter headers for an FWD-fitment Chevy V6.

It wouldn't surprise me if you're blowing the tires off just because they are Tiger Paws.

That squat is something else. I bet you could get a way better burnout with some heavier springs back there.

I don't think the Ecotecs (03+) had nearly as many head gasket issues as the iron-block-aluminum-head 2200 SFIs that predated them, so hopefully it's an easy fix.

Left Ventricle posted:I am. I want this truck to be the dumbest bro garbage possible, without the performance chops to back it up. So I want an enormous Ram logo decal taking up the back window, a bighorn sheep mural on the tailgate, hell, maybe even a fender snorkel for no reason, since this is a 2WD truck! Isn't there a four-banger Euro option for the Chrysler 300 or something? I know you can get a VM Motori turbodiesel.

Maybe you could make your own mounts with an investment mould or something.

I put a thin coat of nickel antiseize on the wheel where it contacts the hub/rotor face (trying hard to keep it away from the lug holes) and that seems to work well.

Boaz MacPhereson posted:Despite all the dumb poo poo the previous owners did on my Nova, some kind soul replaced the trans pan with one that included a drain plug. It's such a simple little thing but it makes such a huge quality of life difference. It’s a great idea until you take it to a Jiffy Lube and end up with no transmission fluid and double the engine oil - I never would but you don’t know what the next owner will do. I always paint marker any additional drain points now when I’m under a new car.
