This will not accomplish much. The serial number can simply be scratched/filed off, just as is done with illegal firearms.

Easily. Additionally, you can buy surplus aircraft switches with radium illuminated tips, as seen here:

I'm actually small enough to fit in every airline seat I've encountered, so for me it's just a matter of not requiring the extra space and therefore paying less for the ticket.

In fact, it’s not even limited to DI vehicles. Much as she with propane or natural gas, carbureted, port injected, and TBI fuel systems are also an option.

I take 350+ mile trips at least twice a month and 700+ mile trips are not uncommon. Often, these trips are also on a tight schedule that would be incompatible with finding charging stations and the actual time spent charging the car. In addition, I require a pickup truck, and compact size with single cab is preferred.…

Seriously I don't get the obsession with using phones for everything. I use at most 400-500 MB of data a month, usually around 100-200. I didn't notice or care enough to notice the difference between 3G and 4G.

In terms of BMW’s that are more than a year old, there’s a very good deal that’s been going around lately; the 335D. They’re going for about 10-11,000 right now in good condition. Diesel, good fuel mileage, reliable, fairly easy to service, and quite fast, plus they didn’t sell all that many over here in the first…

For me that’s a very easy answer. I don’t always carry my phone. I don’t need it most of the time and who knows who could be tracking the GPS somehow. For navigation, I have the Rand McNally Road Atlas (just got the new 2019 edition), and a vertical card compass from an airplane mounted in a hole in the dash. I know…

This is very simple. Buy a GM 4 pin HEI module, ACDelco part number D1906, wire it up to your existing Duraspark distributor, and attach it to heatsink part number 10474610 to prevent overheating. This setup has worked for me on nearly every brand of electronic distributor including foreign brands with zero issues,…

Well, that was disappointing... I was expecting a supercharged version of the new 7.3 gas V8.

For the price of a Bugatti, I could own 150-200 cars I would actually want to drive (given that the average price of my favorite cars is $5-10,000), a somewhat low priced but still average older fighter jet such as maybe an L-39C or such, 15-20 $50,000 aircraft, and still have a million dollars left. If I was to…

I still don’t totally understand the hatred for hard plastic interiors. I honestly prefer them over the weird soft leather texture plastic, especially if properly mounted with screws in indents instead of the stupid clips and hidden screws. Easy to clean, doesn’t hold dirt in all the little crevices. If assembled with…

If this is an "SUV", then so is a Subaru WRX sedan. It's not an SUV. It's a COUPE, and it just happens to have higher ground clearance and AWD.

Some cars with 4 wheel drum brakes do not have a proportioning valve and therefore no precise control over brake bias. This is the reason for the rear wheels locking up sometimes.

This article was very interesting to me because it clearly showed how reliant other people are on Internet technology, and how little I use it comparatively. I don’t have a Facebook account. Actually, this is the closest thing I have to a social media account. I don’t transfer files or have a need to. I use email…

It actually looks a lot like a modern derivative of the old Ford MEL V8. Similar layout, port spacing, even the valves seem to be straight up relative to the mounting surface of the cylinder head, and along with the huge size of the base of the head relative to the rest of it, to me indicates an engine with a flat…

Pretty much just by looking at pictures of the parts, measuring at junkyards, and looking through catalogs.

I recently bought a 1983 Subaru Brat. Many parts are no longer available, so most of the time, the only possible way to replace a broken part is to adapt one off another car. Examples include:

My theory is that it is the oil pump gerotor bouncing around slightly in the oil pump case, either due to the case being cast out of soft metal or machined to incorrect tolerances. I have heard an almost identical noise before- on a Subaru EJ20 with a severely worn oil pump. Now I realize that these are two entirely…

I have done many no-lift shifts in cars equipped with both carbureted and very early FI engines. The trick is to shift fast enough that the engine doesn’t rev more than 2-300 RPM between shifts, and then the clutch slips very slightly and takes care of the RPM difference. It takes a bit of practice but I've been able…
