ehh
felt like a dumbass for not eyeing my temp guage while trying to unstuck myself
overheated and all the coolant pissed out of the reservoir
Did you feel like a dumbass for even attempting a mud pit like that? lol
Anyone reccomend a good first car for an 18 year old in the UK? Please and Thank you
[QUOTE=Sobek-;35602311]Yeah I know the MAF can be responsible for so many issues, however I'm 99% sure that it's not causing any grief on my car... Rather than dump a couple of hundred (Australian) dollars on a new MAF just to SEE if it might be a problem, I'd prefer to investigate some alternatives first.
A lot of what my car is doing has me thinking something along the lines of an alternator or battery problem. My only issue is I'm not too big on the detailed working of cars so while I'm perfectly capable of servicing, replacing, maintaining and repairing components, it's actually working out and understanding the underlying root problem that always gets me. I just don't know enough about the various inter-relationships of components to draw what could be obvious conclusions about what's going on... Hence why I'm dubious about just replacing random parts because some bogan on a BMW forum thinks it's the way to go (not trying to offend anyone here, but I've basically been told "Replace the MAF, you can buy it here"). If I question the diagnosis they offer, I don't get a response... That just doesn't help!
I could go into quite a bit of detail on exactly what it's done so far, and that might just make the root cause obvious for someone reading this. Might have to do that and see if anything stands out :)[/QUOTE]
From what I hear, you can test the MAF by unplugging it and running the car without it plugged in. You're not supposed to do it and I'd recommend against it for a prolonged period of time. The MAF stopped working correctly on my parent's car once and we ended up doing this to test it. Luckily for us, the problem shone once the car was warmed up since it switched from pre-set readings to MAF readings. Once it changed to MAF's readings the car whigged out and stalled. After unplugging the MAF, the car didn't stall after warming up.
Anyway, just my two cents.

Im sure my F-250 can handle that once i get it on the road :rock:
Must be pretty embarrassing to have to get pulled out by a [i]Honda[/i].
Gonna save more money somehow.
Even if takes me riding the public bus for months, as long as I get a shiny 240sx as a reward. You really only have yourself to blame if you can't achieve something you so desperately want. That's yo dig. That's yo thing.

Hey guys I'm looking for an "exploded" pic of like a V8, or a V10.
I'd like to use it as a cover pic for facebook, I think it'd look pretty cool.
Please and thanks!

Guys, I'm arranging flights to JFK airport (NY) in the summer.
Wanted to know, is there any way I can rent a car whilst I'm there?
I'm 19 and have held my licence for over a year (Sept 2010). I know there are insurance fee's but we're planning to split the cost. Just some sedan (in auto).
We're trying to get a (semi) realistic price and basically try and find someone that'll rent a car to me.
Any help/recommendations guys? I'd be so appropriative. I know it's an uphill battle.

Sure you don't want an exploded I66 from an old z race engine? Cause I have one in the back of my truck right now that blew the crank so, big hole. Would make a cool picture for sure.
How the hell do people sleep through fire alarms? Right now they're testing the Sprinkler alarms in our apartment. The ultra-loud ones that you'd find in a school or store. I sleep pretty deeply and with earplugs, that's why I have no idea what people can't hear them.

6M-GE? Have fun with that boat anchor. The 5M-GE was a better engine than that. I'd definitely swap a 7M-GE in there.

Volvo?
I would just mod the 240 instead of the cressida, but they do have the same modability and base power so it is really personal prefrence.

My friend is dropping a boosted 6m-ge into his '90 Miata. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why. Then again, it's not as bad as the guy who texted me asking to trade my Miata for a 2nd gen MR2 with a motor out of a 3rd gen. What's the point of a swap like that? Less power, more weight, and less options for boost.

Oh fuck yeah, I love 240s but I never see Cressida's around here, I saw one for sale ONCE here.
Hell, I've seen more JDM 180SX's and Celsior's than I have Cressidas (My friend owns a Celsior, other friends Neighbor owns a beautiful 180SX :P)
That'd be a sweet ride, be sure to post pics if it actually happens.

What I would do, is I'd color the Audi badge black, and the mirrors and roof, but not the hood or headlights.

Also there's a difference between "smoked" and "blacked out"
