Plot twist: its running without oil
[QUOTE=laserpanda;51075424]So they aren't using the laser ignition from the 16x?[/QUOTE] there is only speculation right now about it, nothing concrete. Only thing that is assured is that it will be a turbo charged rotary
I don't now. Engines sounds like shit for a while until the lifters are all pumped up. Before: [url]https://youtu.be/zRauWIGN_l4[/url] After: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKOi05tpTtI[/url] But it probably is a bearing.
[QUOTE=Code3Response;51075814]Plot twist: its running without oil[/QUOTE] What cars need oil? How do you apply it? Do you just dump it ontop of the motor!?!?! How many times a month do I need to re-apply oil!?!? I applied oil to my squeaking belt, my A/C went out and started to over heat. After I let it sit for a couple of minutes she won't even crank now someone help me!!!!

I now have about 6 coats of viper blue pearl on here, and 2 coats of clear, with the 6th being a mix of both, before the final 2. The good news is it's virtually run free, save for one spot, which is more like a gob of paint and I have no idea how tf that happened. But I'll sand it down and maybe be able to polish that spot, the rest I can polish no problem. It got kinda bumpy at the end, but whatever, that'll all cut and polish. I'm sick of painting.

I'm trying to hunt down a hardtop for my Miata right now and it's just about impossible. Everyone wants like 1300 dollars for a chipped, cracked hard top with no paint, no headliner, and no defroster. I've resorted to bothering people on Craigslist about their hardtops on their Miatas. If any of you guys know of anyone selling their hardtop in Florida or the surrounding states, please PM me because I'd like to get one before my soft top leaks get any worse.
So I recently had to replace the Fuel pump in my 1986 Dodge Ram B250 Van(5.2 V8) and I have it all put in, but I was unable to get the, metal hose and screw or something out and would like to just replace it with a rubber line. what kinda screw/adapter do I need for this line?

I need some help from someone that lives in the UK, if you live in the UK and know even a tiny bit about the second-hand car market please contact me. To eleborate, all the racing teams use UK engines and the M3's in the UK seem WAY cheaper so I'm interested in buying a damaged E46 M3 in the UK

You need a special tool to put that flare in a hard line, then screw the loose thingy over it.

[url]http://www.copart.co.uk/uk/Lot/32150336[/url]
Cat C is repairable, but cost exceeds the vehicle's value. Cat D is also repairable, but it's not vaible, because the price gets close to the value of the vehicle, or parts are difficult to aquire.

[/QUOTE] Your best bet for something like that is likely going to be to cut the line off at the old pump and try to get the line fitting off and reflare it. If that line feeds a carb or something, depending on where the line goes it may not be a good idea to use rubber fuel line because it could melt or get damaged some how and burst. Most auto stores rent tools for that stuff and as far as i know dont sell the threaded fitting for your pump (the part that goes on the line). If you do go the flare route, put brake fluid or MMO or something on the end thats getting the flare so it doesnt bind and fuck the flare up. Most any oily fluid will work. I recommend this route because threadded fitting that have flares DONT have bevled threads and dont seal as you tighten them, and WILL leak. Hence the flare asthose seal due to crushing the metal to make the seal, just better for high pressures, like brake lines and hydraulic lines.

[QUOTE=Lerlth;51080259]I have a dirty idea. A '96 Neon Coupe with a 2.2L Turbo Diesel from a PT Cruiser...[/QUOTE] It's only dirty if you don't put the PT cruiser out of its misery afterwards.

why restore the interior when you can just rip it all out racecar
[QUOTE=butre;51080517]why restore the interior when you can just rip it all out racecar[/QUOTE] throw in a rollcage and a children seat and it's a safe family cruiser.
Gas shortages suck. I had an epiphany moment where I thought "Flex Fuel! Let me see if there is any E85 around here!" But then I looked it up and the EcoBoost engines are NOT flex fuel and can only take gasoline. #shouldhavehadaV8
