RE: Whats A good Radar detector Under $150

To me a radar detector is pretty much a waste of money. The boys in blue train on that equipment and use it daily. They can track cars and just hit you momentarilly and you are toast, detector or...

RE: Car Trouble

Have you checked for spark?
Low fuel pressure will cause all kinds of running problems but should not keep it from starting.
Have you checked all of the fuses under the hood?

RE: 97 Cougar 4.6 V-8 question

I am guessing there was no check engine light?
I'm not sure how that engine is set up but if it has a distributer cap I'd check that for burned contacts, loose plug wires, etc. If it has coil packs...

OBD code reader?

Ok, for the last few years I've been fortunate enough to be able to borrow/use a code reader when I needed one. But now, for various reasons, it's time to buy my own. The ones I've borrowed range...

RE: Is it possible to run 4 motors in a car

Failures can be every bit as enlightening as successes. Not as satisfying but hopefully every failure teaches you something.

RE: Is it possible to run 4 motors in a car

Having a go at you?? Not so much really. It's just that your posts sounded so down on the OP and his ideas and I just think that the whole wasted time thing is so subjective...

RE: Is it possible to run 4 motors in a car

Much of what is done for fun and for research is, on one hand, a tremendous waste of time and on the other hand extremely necessary.
This is after all a hobby and if this project has captured the...

RE: Another Innovative Suspension Design

That suspension is interesting. I could see if it were on production cars that it may help keep tire wear more even.

RE: This happens when a GY6 moped engine sucks a valve at 50mph

That looks a lot like the VW Bug engine I had that ate a valve many years ago. I still have the valve head somewhere - it was pretty firmly imbedded in the piston. I kept it to remind me exactly what...

RE: Faulty starter solenoid??

I know it can be just the solinoid but my experience (40+ years of fixing my own vehicles) leads me to just replace the entire thing the first time around. I have found that the cost is not all that...

RE: battery adapter

Do NOT try to use an adapter! Do as the guys above have suggested and change out the ends as needed so the batterys, charger and vehicle will all work togeather.

RE: Servo Horn Adapters

Well, you might be able to make the wheel work. It's a bit hard to tell from the pics but the offset (center of wheel to center of hole used) looks close to the same. If it's pretty close then try...

RE: Servo Horn Adapters

Are you trying to use the horn that came with the car, the one that was on the stock servo? If so, that may not be possible. If the stock one is not fitting then I'd use one of the ones that come...

RE: What is the definition of a roller?

That would be my definition as well. It also seems to be very close to what manufacturers sell when you buy a new roller or kit.
However, it is always a good idea to be sure that the definition you...
