Lots of freezer space.

You probably could depending on the gauge of the wire, but personally, I wouldn't.

It sounds like he can build motors as well as I can knit. I can wrap some string around my neck and call it a scarf, but eventually I'm going to hang myself...

I wonder if the redline adjusts after a certain milage (break in period) for the rtards that wanna floor it the day they get it.

You do realize most people on here have real world experience with building and racing cars, they don't take everything they read on the internet as fact.

Fixed.

I would call optima and see if they can warranty it for you, just explain the situation and that auto parts stores keep saying its okay, but it never tests correctly for you on a voltage meter. I would ask someone to borrow a known good battery first though to rule that possibility out though.

How can you make claims about a car you have never seen?

Have you put a new battery in yet?

I found this on page two, C16 was not mentioned until page 7.... I also just skimmed the thread (though I have been keeping up on most of it anyways).

You haven't a clue do you?

He did, haven't you seen his car?

Around the 30 minute mark should be inspiration for Alex....

My father-in-law may be interested, I'll pass it on and see what he thinks.

Replace the car? Jk, that whole section of the exhaust does look pretty fubar though.

Being that there is limited options for this platform, is there any other toyota cars that use the same springs from factory? I know its a long shot, but you may be able to find something that was "made" for another car that will work just as well for yours.

Guns are bad mmmkay.

I'm not doubting your injury, but wouldn't that make it difficult to drive a three pedal car?

I've been a bengals fan since Boomer Esiason.... I agree though, up until the last couple years its been like a lonely island for us Bengals fans.

Even if there were any corrosion inside the motor, you cant tell me it couldnt be machined out, or that most of it wouldn't be usable. Transmissions are generally pretty well sealed and so are rear ends. And I've never seen corrosion start on wheels over the winter when they haven't been cleaned all winter (non-chrome). Hell I have a junk bare block that has been sitting outside for 4-6 months that could prolly get away with a good hone if it didn't have a gouge in one of the cylinder walls. Besides as mentioned before, in order for it to be considered a flood loss car, the water only needs to break the door sills. If the water only went that high, the motor would have no water inside. Some cars would have been completely submerged in water, but I would bet most haven't.

Care to elaborate? If the parts I was referring to (and prolly some more parts than that) are disassembled and cleaned and properly checked (before they start to corrode), I see no issue with using say the long block, or the trans, or the rear end (from a rwd/awd), or the wheels. I'm sure there would me more useable parts, but if you get the cars for the right price, you could easily profit from said items and they would be usable.

Yep, and the salt on the roads ruins cars, even if you clean it off before it starts corroding. :dumb:
