Using the Mustang as a yardstick for price to HP ratio, I’m missing about 90 ponies in my Fit.

Yup, front rears and rear rears are real truck parts.

Great engine, if you have one that still runs. If yours doesn’t run you’ve probably been looking for a head or lower intake manifold that isn’t cracked for years. Well, even if it runs, the head is probably cracked already.

Nah, if it had the EF 10, that’d be JDM AF tho.

Growing up my mom always drove small 5spd econoboxes, a ‘79? Horizon and an ‘84 Buick Skyhawk wagon. Usually with the restraint that a mom with young 2 kids should exhibit with two young children in the car. But when twisty Pennsylvania back roads would present themselves, she’d let loose a little, speeds went up,…

Back in the day there weren’t many cars that were worth it then, since most cars were completely ragged out by 100k, kids or not.

You’re right, they’re International engines. International engines that are extremely reliable engines when they’re not in Fords. The problem is Ford let their engineers bolt Ford parts to it and made it one of the most fragile diesels on the planet.

Porsche isn’t going to learn anything from Ford. For example, Porsche has a V8 diesel, something Ford has shown to it’s best abilities, is something you should not do.

As a Pennsylvanian who lives here now and works in Orlando, I’ll second this. If bad driving were an Olympic event, Orlando drivers would be recruited to represent almost every country on the planet.

It can be impossible to fix if no one looks at the right area. Often the focus stays on worn out parts, and you end up replacing all of the worn parts and start working through the not-so-worn parts until the problem becomes tolerable. It doesn’t go away because general knowledge often only extends to fixing the bent…

All of which is moot, because the transmitter is only carrying the conversation from the key to the car. The conversation going on right now, with the code that is active right now, so it will always send the right code. Modern keys are proximity based and buttons only unlock and lock the doors, which the key does by…

Top 10 fun ways to get past inspection.

When you say it won’t drive, do you mean you can’t put it in gear, or does it take away the throttle pedal or something?

It doesn’t matter if it is encrypted, they’re literally repeating the conversation the key has with the car using that transmitter as a proxy. Imagine sitting between two people speaking in a language you don’t know, you repeat the sounds from the first person to the second, and back until the conversation is over.…

Antiperspirant seems to work to stop perspiration.

Here you go:

There are, actually, meshes built into some kinds of jet engines to prevent objects from entering the engine. I believe they’re primarily to stop ice from falling in. They’re pie slice shaped vents that can be opened and closed by the pilot depending on conditions.

Kilowatts are a direct replacement for horsepower. The kilowatt is a common term used to describe an ICE’s power output in many markets. Power is power, regardless of the unit used.

What a strange car, it’s like an amalgamation of a Daimler Dart, the front end of a Fiat 124, fender bits from a 190 SL, with the brake duct from a 250 GTO put in the wrong place, years before any of them. And the paint, ugh.
