  1. When I bought my $300 Brinkmann, everybody said I should have bought a Weber. They were right.. it rusted to fuck after 2yrs.
  2. Sunbury. So not really near you, but a lot closer than before.
  3. 20 year old V6 SUV sold for $20k+ Christ
  4. lmk if you ever need moral support. I live near you now.
  5. Most fwd v6 cars are a bitch to work on. I bought one off Wease and did some maintenance before eventually just going with a newer car. Changing plugs was a pain in the ass. They have an issue with rev-hang, where the rpms hang high between shifts. The fix is it drill a tiny hole through a coin and insert it in some vacuum hose attachment, but then my experience was rpms dropped to quickly. Maybe it was the other way around, I forget. Headlights fogged up like every other 90's car.. I tried wetsanding but failed and bought a new pair. The trunk struts like to wear out early. Changing brakes is weird, they have a goofy retaining clip over the pads. Maybe it's normal, but I've never seen that. Jacking them up in the first place sucks with those low-hanging rockers, and dirt/mud likes to cake up behind them. Other than weird old car shit they're a blast to drive for what they are. Secondary intake flaps open up at a higher rpms and you get a little kick of power like vtec or something.
  6. It's on my list. Don't get me wrong, I love opening them up to scream, but if I could go back I wouldn't do it again.
  7. I had QTP's and hated them for all the reasons I listed above. I tore them out and installed noweeds diverters because they shut off the unused path while opening the other, and it takes like one second. Two years have gone by and I wish I would have just got a proper exhaust. The band clamps loosen after a week, leaking and sounding all shitty. I rarely even open them anymore. My stock NPP exhaust is already 2.5", has the flappy thing inside the muffler, and the fuse is pulled to keep it open. It's basically straight-piped and sounds great as-is.
  8. The motors like to give out every couple years, but while they work those things take forever to open or close and you have to hold the switch the entire time. No big deal until you see a hidden cop 50ft away and you're in full berserker mode. Also, they'll leak while closed.. doesn't sound great. I'd rather just have a proper exhaust tbh.
  9. Finally some Zombies https://tribune.com.pk/story/2186400/9-man-quarantined-covid-19-runs-naked-bites-woman-death/
  10. How much extra did you charge to clean those 120-spoke oz wheels. Fuck.
  11. I had those Pirellis on my Mustang and my fucking god those tires suck for any spirited driving. Probably mostly because Fordlol gave a ~430 horsepower car the same skinny 235mm-wide tires as any given boring sedan on the road. I had these on my Camaro and they're great sporty/all-season tires (if that's a thing). They grip just enough for slight shenanigans, but mine were 285mm wide. I don't recommend autocrossing with them though.. they're far from awesome in that environment. If he's not doing any kind of track shit I'd definitely check these out. However, nothing beats a good set of 100TW Summer tires, unless he's worried about getting more than 1-2 seasons out of them.
  12. Foxbody. Plenty of swap kits available that will make everything relatively straightforward compared to some weird geeto car.
  13. Went to high school with Bryce, the owner of Wheel Medic. He's a solid dude. Charged around $100 to fix and repaint a wheel I curbed.
  14. Drugs and alcohol sorry
  15. I was mainly saying to get that AFM shit deleted asap, esp with >100k miles.
  16. Look for a stock LS3 cam and pushrods to delete the 4cyl shutoff before your engine eats itself.
