[diesel_mercedes] Re : OT : Subaru WRX Wagon

 


Uh ,

_whut_ ? .

I dunno , all I know is : he's been hard at work modifying it as both he and his lovely yong bride , are serious racers....

Pretty soon I'll be afraid to ride in it , I bet Tom won't go near it now =8-) .

Me , I still think the old , 1972 Subaru's were *perfect* in every way

Sure, but you don't want that because you give up
sensitivity. You need as much sensitivity as you can get if
you are trying to match injectors' crack pressures.

Do you think a larger jack would take less pumping?

I don't know if something like could work or not because of the distances. But I have bought a lot of tools that only get used once. CAse in point, my injector tester, Ive had it for about 25 years and used it once on one injector. Anyway just thinking outloud here. Any ideas? Max

After our rains, I have found thousands of new (and old) potholes as well, some I have even found 2 and 3 times. Must be great business for front end guys. My experience with polishing the pits out of the windshield is - don't bother. Too much work, too little results. I put new windows in both cars in Sept 2010 at $175 each and am a very happy camper (until the rock truck dropped a big un which fortunately hit an inch from the left edge).

More than you'd think ~

Here in Cali. , they're overwhelmed by budgetary constraints and crumbling roads so there's as much gravel and sand on our roads as , say , Michigan in April before all the winter sand & pea gravel gets run off....

My son just bought a Subaru WRX Station Wagon and already one fog lamp got shattered ~ the dealer wants $200 + _each_ , he was able to find a pair OnLine gently used (look new) for $40 , he installed it last night in 5 minutes .

Yes , he broken lamp had that nifty clear plastic anti-shatter film on it , the lens shattered but didn't fall off the car , it just hung down.

We also have blowing sand issues , even in town and German glass is *very* soft so many older German cars that are parked outside , even the In Town ones , have badly pitted windshields , my '84 Coupe is like this , I am considering experimenting with polishing it using glass lens polish , I already reduced the glaring million pin points of light greatly by repeated application of Rain-X but this windshield
is ruined , having a start crack in it already so why not experiment.

I think it's Diesel Giant who sells them fairly affordably , occasionally they put them on sale .

They do pop up on Flea-Bay from time to time too .

You can make one from a cheap Chinese hydraulic bottle jack , instructions OnLine somewheres , I got yo use one once and it worked out quite well .
