I really wish that the other cars + the van will get a advanced engine setup, so that if you crash into a tree that you don't instantly die but rather have engine trouble like a leaking or broken component. Same for the highway crashes so that the green car bursts into flames if it makes a crash into another car
I wish I could strangle the mechanic for taking such long time with my car. Haven't got any jobcalls either since then.
motor takes a while to kick over, sometimes it will kick over and run for a bit then it'll die. horrible whining. when it dies, the starter doesnt turn at all. am i seizing the engine? can the battery die?
I think its funny watching everyone trying to troubleshoot mechanical issues with their cars I'm such detail. It's like being in the automotive thread with all the technical talk going back and forth.
Oh shit, I regret my decisions. I walked [I][U][B]ALLLLL[/B][/U][/I] the way home from town and when I got back started tuning the car without first saving.

So far i never succeeded once into making the engine, i put together the entire thing and i want to put it on the engine lift thing and then i forgot some kind of plate or small part that i skipped over. Then i attempt to drive to the town which i still haven't reached since i always crash with the fucking van

all of them because the sun never sets
This is probably the dumbest question so far - where's the oil filler cap?

Nvm I'm an idiot I hadn't put the rocker cover on.

Ok the engine is running just fine but when I try to release the choke, I pull the fucking dashboard off. Help.
Hey my car works fine, on the first try :v:
Another dumb question - does it take more than one bottle of hydraulic fluid to fill both the brakes and clutch? Or did I just empty mine onto the floor somehow?

Took me 2 full bottles
Also, don't open all of the reservoirs - fill them one by one (and close the caps), that way it's easier to see if it's full
[QUOTE=Squeegy Mackoy;51273714]Another dumb question - does it take more than one bottle of hydraulic fluid to fill both the brakes and clutch? Or did I just empty mine onto the floor somehow?[/QUOTE]
It takes 3 bottles to fill both brakes and clutch.

Wish i had known that. When i got my car running i decided to hit the pedal and drive it inside the garage to install the exhaust. I ended up crashing it to the shelf. :v:

Also a tuning question, is it legit to tighten the rocker screws just past the point when they stop clicking?
oh my god i can't even figure out how to get the fuel cap off to fill the van up

Dammit, the tractor is too light to steal the hotrod with :v:
I'm going to try building the car with no guides. Wish me luck

Haista vittu saatana!
Pretty sure that means "good luck" in Finnish, as does showing someone your extended middle finger.

tighten it and see if your engine explodes or not
I managed to drive my van home with negative fuel. Glorious Finnish technology!

[QUOTE=CodeMonkey3;51274495]Is there a way to tow it?[/QUOTE]
Dunno, but if you hitch the tipper after the tractor then you have some rear ballast.
Also the tractor itself is heavy enough to pick up the Fiat 500 wannabe :v:
