    Redneck Engineering

    haha, Edit: I just looked up a thermostat housing, and they have one in beaverton for 6.99, so I am going to go ahead and replace it, so I guess my redneck hack won't see a lot of highway time. Just thought it would be funny to post.

    Redneck Engineering

    So today I noticed a leak coming out of my thermostat housing (and i just replaced the thermostat yesterday, so I took it back apart thinking I messed up the gasket. Then I found the nipple going in the housing to be almost completely rusted out. It's kind of hard to see by the phone pic, but it...

    No heater in my fox.

    John, I definitely appreciate the offer on the heater core, but I think if I do it, I'll probably just get a new one because I really hate mechanic work sometimes, and I don't have a lot of time, so I will probably pay someone to do it. But I do appreciate it man. I dont have a panel setting...

    No heater in my fox.

    So, I bought this white fox a while back, in the spring and noticed it had no heater, but it wasnt a big deal. But now, in the winter, it certainly is. My car puts out zero heat. Can anyone help figure out why my heater doesn't work? I'm running the 4-row aluminum radiator in it, and I...

    Happy New Year!

    Yeah, I'm still in the area, if I move it won't be out the portland area, my daughter lives here, and my family is here, so I'm not really going anywhere. And yes, the working and not sleeping is what caused pnuemonia, not to mention no heater in my car. (another thread will be posted)...

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    I agree with this 100%. With the right presentation, the manager might just go for it. Its good for brand awareness, as we have all these shiny cars by their shiny signs, and hey maybe we could offer to have a "cleanup day" where we all volunteer to clean up their lot or something. I dont know...

    sad sad day........ no more starbucks......:(

    I agree with Ed, this is one cop out of hundreds in the city, he may have just been having a bad night. Couple that with the "safety in numbers" factor, are they going to throw people out in the summer, when there are so many people there? Possible but not as likely. I say we test the waters...

    Need your help what car?

    It's kind of risky reccomending a vette over a stang on a mustang site, but I must admit, I'm in love with the look of the Z06, especially black. And Jordan is 100% right, it really comes down to looks, and the vette will give you the newer look, while the Shelby is more reminiscent, so you...

    I got one peace headlights

    That is one of the things I was worried about, I want to get a set because they give a newer flashier look to an old car, but trying to find a fox with straight lines is near impossible these days. I may still hook up a set to see what they look like. You may find them later in the for sale...

    Daily drivers, what do you have?

    82 chev p/u. Actually gets pretty decent mileage if i keep my foot out of it, but the motor has less than 1000 miles on it and the 36s act like tall gears, so i'm doing about 1600 rpm down the freeway. :shrug:

    funny Craigslist find

    I've seen stuff like this in the past, and always shake my head. My old landlord long ago had a corvette stingray with a 4cyl in it. I think it was one of the ones that come out of the little 80s blazers. He did it to save gas, and he said the v8 was too "scary". Why in the fark someone...

    Decent mustang on CL

    yeah I'm kinda likin the old school four-eyes too. I used to dig em in the 80s, then then "new" ones came out and I liked them, but now they look sweet again. Very retro. They look meaner too

    I'm going to commit a sin here

    Nope. It was built like that when I bought it. It's nothing wild, but pretty much perfect for a truck.
