I tried to get a quote on trading in my EB but it didn't look like I was getting the best bang out of my buck. Plus I've done so many mods to this car, I might as well gut it and make it my own.
I wanted to buy an engine and tranny package from thepartsfarm.com Anyone have good experiences...
My cluster reports 26-27MPG on my normal commute to work (4.5 miles, 1-2 stop signs, two lights, and four. Turns). Since switching to winter tires and winter gas, I’m down to about 24.5MPG. I typically start coasting well in advance of stopping and don’t accelerate too hard.
On the highway...
Haven't watched Pawn Stars in years, but I think they liked to tell people that if something was made to be collectible, it probably wasn't worth anything. Might be a little different for cars, but I'd never buy a car based on potential resale value.
My Mustang came with the 4Cyl Delete option so I picked up 4 more, but I don't know how to install them. Can anybody give me any tips on how this bolts up to the other half?
OK Couldn't resist. Bought a 2.3 Ecoboost last December (before I was even thinking of buying a Mustang) to swap...
1500RPM and 6th gear isn't necessarily a problem. It's when you decide you want to accelerate quickly and you now have 20lbs of boost that you create the LSPI conditions. The owner's manual is giving recommendations for best fuel economy which also requires gentle acceleration.
Don't know about getting it out without pulling the motor, but you will probably have to at least loosen the transmission and slide back a bit and pull a couple bolts out os the timing cover as the pan attaches to both. It is rtved in place, so getting it back together without messing up the...
When I traded in my last car, I looked it up and found that it was listed as "CarFax certified no accidents" despite the fact that I had submitted an insurance claim on it a couple years earlier when I backed my truck into the car.
Turns out I have your twin. She's at the machine shop right now after being in an Ecoflood, not an Ecoboom. Bought the engine for a swap into a different car and fell in love with the S550.
Should be a sticker on the front of the cam cover. At least there is on the two Cleavland motors I have. It has build date and location clearly printed. You will have to remove the engine beauty cover to see it.
Hard to say for sure what will end up on CarFax. I had two repairs to my previous car, one paid out of pocket, so not surprised it didn't show up, second, insurance paid $2k, not to mention that when I traded it, the front bumper was busted from hitting a chunk of snow. When the dealer listed...
Really wanted a Camaro after seeiit at the Detroit Auto show around 2005. Thought maybe it would be a good car a few years out of college. In 2008, I fell in love with the Mazdaspeed3 and bought one. After the Camaro came out it was way too much money and I tend to keep my cars lonqger than...
