hows everyone doing?

 

Forgot to update.. You were right!

 

This place still alive?

 

Haha yea it's been pretty quiet lately. I'm doing good except I think I am developing a small leak from the oil cooler, has that happened to any of you guys?

 

a little quiet is maybe the understatement of the year...

 

Never heard of an oil cooler leak. I would think the O rings would last a long time if the cooler was never pulled. Mine lasted 225k and looked pretty good when i pulled it

 

I'm currently away at work, but I did some searching online and I think it may just be a small leak from the oil pressure switch. It's just a small drip or it has just started as there was only a very small oil stain around the switch and where the oil cooler connects to the engine. Ordered a new ac delve pressure sensor for $16, hope it solves the problem. How have you been Jon? Get the car out a few more times with the nice weather we had the other week?

 

Jon doesn't drive his car!

LOL

 

My car is more of a conversation piece at the moment lol

 

Mine's dead too

 

mine's chugging along like the hapy camper I need it to be...

passed 210k last week.

 

Jon- you should put your car back to stock, or stockish, and revel in how slow it is...


it might be fun.

 

How slow...... HAHAHAHAHHAA

 

^ what did you do to yours?

 

he took it apart, and decided he's done with this scene;
he selling it to the highest bidder to buy a Kia Sorrento for it's versatility, and super warranty.

 

Mines getting a full build. Should be done late winter

 

Jon who?

 

does anybody have a scan tool that can reset my steering angle position sensor, it is off a hair and i really do not want to pay a ton to get this 5 second job done.

 

a steering angle position sensor huh...

 

I heard he was getting one of those Nissan leafs because they are friendly to the environment and had a 0-60 that he was more comfortable with.

 

Something like this ya

 

oh!?

that might be...

it's been a while since I saw him last;
I think I read a review that puts those Nissans in the same catagory as an old VW, or Chevette;
0-60mph = sometimes


lol

 

Funny story- many years ago when I had a 76 firebird formula ( wish I still had it) my sister borrowed it leaving me her Chevy spectrum 3cyl. I pulled out in traffic on a 55mph highway in her car and thought I was at 1/2 throttle. Realizing I was to the floor I started apologizing to people behind me, and it took about 1 full mile to get to 60mph. I would rather drive a moped.

 

ha-ha!

I actually stole that from an 'Audio Adrenaline' track entitled "Chevette";

A '76 Formula huh?
350/400?
auto/stick?

I might be a sucker for old Firebirds - especially the single headlight cars, and early Formulas...
Interestinly the '75-76 Formulas values are still a little soft - there are deals to be had on them...
Just saying

 

they are some awesome looking cars, of course my favorite it the SD-455
