seems like aerodynamics must be a big part of going that speed with a 1.6 or 1.2 liter engine. I wonder if the guy who passed us could have got an extra mile or two an hour if he taped that bumper cover down with some nascar speed tape.
So, we are on a road trip in west Texas going 85mph on I-10 in my wife's Armada. Nissan versa hatchback with a smashed front bumper passes us like we are standing still. And the wind is really whipping out here, blowing us around and we are loaded for bear, three kids and camping gear.
How fast...
Big pink box has the written rule.
The unwritten rule is you should respect the service you are receiving when you place a free ad.
I'm just a casual observer.
took it back since I had already paid and pointed out how they left the tie rods loose on both sides. They agreed to look at it again for free. Well, first they said that the caster was factory pre set and not adjustable. I told them how to adjust it, told them to ignore the specs and give me...
Well, yes. and at first I thought they left that much negative caster because they thought it would handle better. but I am reading everywhere that I need positive caster.
and then I found the loose tie rod sleeves...........:oops:
Well, the sheet they gave me shows the spec for caster to be .3 to 1.3 degrees of positive, which sounds reasonable to me. they gave it back to me with 4 and 4.9 of negative caster. the little box is even red around the number.
good point about the old spec, I'll give them Jim's numbers in...
Thanks Jim. After planting three bushes in solid rock. I think I will take it back to them in the morning. I'm not in the mood to suffer with it tonight.
For the sake of the discussion, when you say turn the cam all the way "in" would that be with the hole in the washer closer to the...
So, I just rebuilt the front end on my Dart. First time for me. Thanks in large to FABO it went really smoothly. That is until just now. I took it to have it aligned and after the alignment it randomly tries to change lanes. Also climbs up uneven road surfaces. Drove better before I had it...
They also have a version of that tool at Harbor Freight. Although, it looks like it is made of dog feces. It might work in a pinch. Once. They wanted like 25 bucks for it.
Keep the Jeep. Take the amount that you would have spent on a car payment each month and pay it into a savings account. It will add up quick. Then every few months buy something cool for the Jeep. Anyone can sign up and make a car payment.
How much? I have covers waiting to be installed. I would like to find some with usable foam so I can put on my covers and drive! The P.O. (before I got the car, 16 years ago) installed some random incorrect seats by drilling holes in the floorpan. I didn't realise they were wrong until I...
Hello everyone.
I am looking for a passenger side fender and a pair of bucket seats with tracks for my 68 Dart. Im in Texas, so they would need to be down here, or get shipped down here.
thanks for looking
I agree
let the guy who complained continue unmolested with his crappy life. he will continue to earn more and more difficulty with his negative attitude while your energy is free to continue being the guy who allows people to access their land.
making people happy is much less work and...
My Dart and I are new to the site, but we have already got a little list going.
- All the people who helped us get out from under all the boxes in the garage and out tearing up the streets. Especially when I had the 'car won't start' catastrophe a while back, and you all talked me down and...
i worked 11pm to 11am friday, saturday, sundays, and every other monday. then I went to days and had to deal with engineers and managers, so I quit and started my own business. Working nights was cool. but that was before we had kids
