if they called this an avenger, i would buy one after i got done drooling. they do however need to do something more aggressive and out of the box. pun intended.
omg. for once in my life i'm undecided on which i like better, breaded shrimp or cocktail shrimp. oh and the door panels too. lol. j/k........ any good shrimp will do.
ok it was really like B-B-B-B-B-Boom get slower each time.
i'm at Outback. Just got done with my birthday. Go out. Crank it. (i keep it in neutral unless its a hill) push the clutch in, put it in first and it starts to vibrate violently until it dies. i try to shift out into neutral but the stick won't pull back and i've got a clutch pedal the wimpiest nerd in the world could push in. to the floor nooooooo resistance.
2 hours earlier.
I have to make a left turn to get to the interstate. A major wreck on I-75 causes me to have to deal with 14 18 Wheelers in a row. right after the 14th, i have an opening. i take it and i think i dropped the clutch TOO hard (oops) i'm making a lefthand turn a my tires are spinning all the way to the tune of 6000 rpm. then i shift into second. no resistance until the pedal is 4/5 to the floor. once i'm on the on ramp (175 yard distance between the turn i made and the interstate) third is the same way. fourth and fifth are like normal. when i get off at my exit, all the gears are acting normal.
after i got it cranked, it didn't do it again immediately but when i got to the first redlight, it crapped out on me again. the same violent jerking death. couldn't shift to neutral. lights red so i can't give it gas.
once i got onto the freeway i went a few exits down. i wasn't sure if they had gotten the wreck cleared up yet, so i went ahead and got off and parked at a gas station. some mercedes had parked close to my passenger side (still in their lane) so i decide to be nice and repark (basically double) since it's late at night i don't have to worry about alot of customers. i realized how close the car was once i had stopped rolling. so i pull it out of gear and go for reverse only to find i CAN'T go in reverse. so at this point i just let it roll back a little and call my stepdad to see if he knows what might be wrong. he says to check the cylinder fluid level so i do and it's practically empty. how convenient that i'm at a convience store..... ha efing ha. i fill it up with brake fluid and it all ends up on the ground within 2 minutes. even when it had some in the reservoir, it still wouldn't shift. i had my fiance try to shift it while i watched the fluid level but neither one of us could get it to work.
so it sits there until i can tow it to my mechanic.
which is only 15 miles away....... if that.
any ideas guys? dynamite is NOT an option..... yet.
if you don't have the PermaTorque Felpro gasket or equivalent (it's $20ish and isn't a one time torque down gasket) you get to add in the gasket (we'll say 10ish) anti-sieze (optional but recommended) 1.50 replacement wires cuz you popped the end out of the boot $30 before the lifetime warranty (if available) lets tally that shall we
30.00 1.00 10.70 +27.96 ---------- 69.46 x 1.07 ---------- 73.32
that's how much your paying almost each year. not to mention the gas mileage you would be losing. (about every gasoline car i've seen CAN get 270ish to the tank)
NGK copper = 1.98 x 4= 7.92/30K NGK platinum= 2.98 x 4= 11.92/90K hmm. ALOT less expensive in the long run
a grand? considering the CAI alone can net you 15hp (and can cost between $25-400) minus an aftermarket intake manifold, a grand would be WAY to much for me to pay for a fabbed exhaust system. i would spend the money toward the turbo kit (i know it wouldn't be the full kit considering they run about 1500) or get some engine work done. but to each their own. i just hate to see people get disappointed when they put so much time and heart into their stuff.
look that up.. developed at the university of buffalo..
how much did you read into the site? they've proven the concept AND mechanical truth of it, it's just that it completely shatters Newton's Conservation of Energy law. They are in the initial stages of having it re-tested and re-proved by the Scientific Community so that no one will be able to say "it's hoopla" beyond the old Ford/Chevy redneck fight.
