Get a warranty or rebuild it. I would check for any cracks in the housing after all the labor just to get it out. ... View more

Good question, I can't choose just one. Probably something like a Skyline GTR that you can legally import now or a Euro 911 RSR, Chalon, or Sunburst. ... View more

Audi Quattro's are not a bad car, but $40+ for an upgraded Scirocco (yes, I know there were only several hundred exported to the US) ? There are better cars for that kind of money in my wishlist. ... View more

I am glad they did not bring this to the US market. This would compete with the Geo Metro.   That being said, this is not much to rave about (sorry Geo Metro fans).  ... View more

Hi,   I would like to add that a '77 is not the best commuter as a daily. Doesn't matter if Aunt Tootie kept it garage kept. Older cars are sluggish compared to modern vehicles (especially in So. Cal) and you will have to tinker with them often. Sometimes you are going to wait several days or a week (maybe more) to get it fixed. This is the difference between daily drivers and cars you tune or older cars. Daily drivers you don't have to worry about hurdles.   Something you need to address that no one has mentioned is the fuel system. I would change the pump and fuel lines as these older components are prone to failure to the new formulas in unleaded fuels.   Also, 1976+ cars you need to smog it every two years here in Cali. That means your smog components need to be working and the vehicle needs to run well to pass. Older cars like these can be very hard and expensive to find.    I am glad you are enthusiast, but a carbed '77 as a daily is not the best car to have for a beginner. ... View more

Air tools were standard 5-10 years ago, but like Tim said, Lithium is advancing so well that cordless is a way to go. So much more convenient and efficient to work on. A good 3/8's lithium powered ratchet is a good cordless tool for many common jobs.    ... View more

Dumb Mistake!   I will tell you about a recent accident that happened to me. A month ago, I went to the junkyard and found some really nice Hella tail lights for one of my cars. These lights were in almost perfect condition. I purchased them without a warranty (which means you cannot return them for any reason). My day and luck were going well so far.     Walk to my car carrying tools and parts, I tried to grab my keys until a tail light slips and falls on the floor. I just remember the sound of plastic shattering. This was such a foolish thing that I should have known better when it happened.  ... View more

NO THANK YOU! You know how much time and money will this thing take to restore? You are definitely losing money if you resell and all the cute compliments from all the cars & coffee groupies won't pay the bills.  ... View more

I think this article is getting people confused and a little tricky. They are not talking about engines in itself, but variations of engines that designers created, for the most part, motorsports (I think). Now there needs to be a follow up article on the greatest engines ever invented. ... View more

I ain't touching Audis- PITA cars to work on. Switch to VW MK4's instead, they are pretty much the same, but less of a hassle under the hood.    One more thing, these Audi/VW have no value. BAT sold that A4 conversion at 5500 when the price of the kit is 3000+ shipped. Wave goodbye to your investment. ... View more

Buy a good used car cover with padding that protects from dings (if you don't want to pay retail). The higher quality materials in good covers doesn't scratch the surface and lasts a long time. ... View more

Yes, the price is too high right now. However, this is expected with new technology such as this (look at your worthless once valued computer somewhere in storage). This is the future guys- have a little optimism. ... View more

I would say in your case some simple things like using good terry towels, window cleaner for cars and a good car wash soap will go a long way. All depends on how you keep your car- indoors is great, outdoors with a good car cover can help a lot. You don't have to go all out, just use the basics the right way. ... View more

Well, if you want to get in the concourse or hunt for OEM this is what you have to do. I am not an expert in early corvettes, but you have to pay to play. 90k sounds way too much though in this case, but I can see these go for four figures. Lastly, I need to see more documentation, not some picture where you draw an arrow like a 6 year old.  ... View more
