[QUOTE=Minimole;48227042]You guys remember this? Well I found out something interesting. Here's the same camper in 2013 in Abbotsford BC at a car show. [img]https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5348/8836069960_a6cbca2164_c.jpg[/img] And here it is in 2014 on someone's blog because they thought it looked weird. [url]http://bangshift.com/bangshiftxl/right-wrong-1964-mercury-park-lane-camper-sale/[/url] [img]http://i.imgur.com/1DzH5V4.jpg[/img] It's been around Abbotsford/Surrey quite a bit. Oh and big surprise it's still for sale.[/QUOTE] bangshift isn't just someone's blog, brian lohnes and chad reynolds are really proper gearheads and journalists and if you don't already read everything they write I suggest you start catching up
[QUOTE=Code3Response;48227452]real pros have a police scanner [editline]17th July 2015[/editline] not actually... While possible, its felony[/QUOTE] I used two [url=http://www.rtl-sdr.com/]RTL-SDR[/url] dongles to pull down and decode LAPD radio signals once in order to figure out about an ENORMOUS police event going on near my home that not a single news station was talking about on TV or the radio. Should I turn myself in?
Carpooled one of my coworker in the supra, he wouldn,t shut up about how quick and fun it was. At least it is enjoyable for passengers!

How does your suspension manage in that car, everytime I am around I get my ass rattled by the roads and PTSD from the potholes there.
[QUOTE=Code3Response;48227452]real pros have a police scanner [editline]17th July 2015[/editline] not actually... While possible, its felony[/QUOTE] does it count if I just use the scanner 911 app?
A engine mount said good bye today,im not sure which 1 but i suspect its the "dogbone". It makes horrible noises. I will take her to a garage Monday
[QUOTE=Code3Response;48227452]real pros have a police scanner [editline]17th July 2015[/editline] not actually... While possible, its felony[/QUOTE] Those are readily available, though, aren't they? Plus the apps and online scanner streams. Is all that stuff illegal but unregulated or something?
[QUOTE=clutch2;48230504]Those are readily available, though, aren't they? Plus the apps and online scanner streams. Is all that stuff illegal but unregulated or something?[/QUOTE] Varies state to state. Perfectly legal in CA so long as you don't transmit. I think he might mean a police radio??? You can get in serious federal trouble doing that. I have a Motorola MT2000 handpack and a Motorola Spectra vehicle radio that can listen to police, but they're hard programmed to not transmit on police frequencies, just our analog repeater system for my company I also think CA has some obscure law about using scanners in the commission of a crime that enhances it to a felony
On my 17th day without a car now... Waiting on a new rear light and headlight relay. The guy I'm buying it off was supposed to mail it last thursday, he didn't get around to it until today, it'll probably not be here until wednesday. And my mechanic can only inspect it on tuesdays... So I'll go up there on Sunday and solder the leads straight to the bulb and rig the relay somehow.
I've been without car the last 17 days aswell, fucking airbag light, can't figure out how to cheat the airbag computer and I really don't feel like pulling the dash.

I'm not even a little bit bothered by the abs light on my dash
[QUOTE=butre;48232918]I'm not even a little bit bothered by the abs light on my dash[/QUOTE] Me either. My ABS light never comes on. I've never even had the CEL come on either.

[url]http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/5109293165.html[/url] I wonder if I could get this thing titled and running before I got ticketed for project in the street. Also wonder why they gave up painting it halfway through (other than it looking like utter shit). Think it's hiding bondo? The weird paint thing going on, missing title despite recent tags, and missing parts coupled with the ridiculously low pricetag is raising lots of red flags. e: Actually the windshield tags are only visible in one photo, the others have had them scraped off. I bet this car was flooded or something and that's why there's no title.
[QUOTE=Serj22;48233175]Me either. My ABS light never comes on. I've never even had the CEL come on either.[/QUOTE] I had to remove the ABS equipment to clear my larger tires, since they rubbed on the cable. so now the light is always on. larger tires weren't for something so petty as fitment, by the way, it was for lower highway RPMs. I dropped the RPMs at 70 mph from 2200 to 1800 with that change the fitment is nice though

I want a Rotsun....
going to see clarkson, hammond and may live tonight :dance:
[QUOTE=Silence I Kill You;48235185]I want a Rotsun....[/QUOTE] But instead of a crummy GM V6 I want a 2.0 Ecoboost in it. That's gotta be one hell of a combination.

I tried to take a wire from some kinda abs/traction control/whatever light and wire it to the airbag light so they'd turn on together, but that just fried the abs/whatever light.

If you really want to expand to the newer colors Super Platinum Metallic Silver, Vivid Blue Pearl or Premium Deep Violet Pearl work too. Those are your only choices of Type-R colors that will be acceptable :v: Really though, Honda has tons of really awesome colors. I'll refrain from posting Sunburst Orange Pearl which I'm a huge fan of for the fourth time in this thread.

the show was quite awesome I will say, little bit short but it felt a lot longer than it actually went on for, usually 2 hours of entertainment feels over too soon but felt just about the right length considering how much they fit into it and how they paced it, though I would have been happy for it to have gone on for longer so many top gear (or sorry, the show that they can't name that technically never existed for legal reasons) throwbacks, pure class, completely worth it they played car soccer in reliant robbins, which was honestly some of the funniest shit i've ever seen
So I did a coolant flush this morning and my coolant reservoir was making this odd hissing sound. [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/OjMpC0.jpg[/t] Oh. That's why.
