Picked up a winter beater

[TyBrones87]

Well I decided to store my m3 for the winter so I went out and picked up a 1993 Honda Del Sol with 260,000 miles on itfor cheap. Cute little thing hahahaha! It had some trouble idling right and it was getting terrible gas mileage, and overall ran like crap. I dove into it and got it figured out, turns out the internals of the fast idle thermal valve had come undone, causing a high idle. Somewhere along the line someone thought it'd be a great idea to unplug the map to bring the idle back down, thus leading to the terrible gas mileage. So I cleaned it out, and tightened it all back together and she's purring great. I love freebie fixes. The body is in pretty sorry shape though, but as long as my nice car stays nice, I'll gladly putter around in this thing. Pics to come sometime soon

Sweet!!!! WINTER BEATERS FOR THE WIN!

Did vishnew (Is that how you spell it?! lol) get his car tuned yet? Please tell me he got the exhaust ran a little bit differently now! LOL

[defiler]

Dont forget to add 100000000000000000lbs of sand into the back of that. Unless of course you like spinning out in the snow/ice:D

[sk8phreak88]

Niiice. I just finally finished the transmission swap in my winter beater... Not gonna lie, tomorrow morning is gonna be awesome on the way into work.. No more -4685 degree cold leather!

[pcmmelite]

No more -4685 degree cold leather!

I hear you on that! Even with my heated leather seats in the G35, it's still cold as hell (for a while anyways). The probe is basically good to go though for the winter. I still need to put the rear bumper cover back on, get a new cone filter for my CAI, and new wiper blades but other than that, runs strong and good.

Lmao, no he hasn't yet. He stored the car before he could get around to doing anything to it. It's vishnu, but close enough. Still pulls pretty hard as is.

If you're a pussy, then get heated leather/

[TyBrones87]

Lol I'm a pussy. My heated leather would've been great. Instead I'm driving a heap. I hit a pothole in it, and rust fell off the roof and landed in my lap :lol:

[redpgt93]

lol my probes got a little of that rust problem when im driving with the moon roof open during the summer also lol

[sk8phreak88]

Nope, not a pussy. Just like my balls to hang out side instead of trying to retreat up to my stomach. :lol:

[TyBrones87]

Hell yeah, there aren't many probes out there that don't have rust on the sunroof.

That's a fine beater you got there. Time to replace it.

[TyBrones87]

They get broken into way too often. Check 'er out!!! Fuckers had to smash out the window even though the doors were unlocked. Lol @ the glass on the ground.



One thing I can say about them is they are easy to sell. It will be gone tomorrow.

Haha nice. You now, I seem to remember a ways back that you were one of the main guys arguing with me about putting my "nice summer car" away for the winter. "cars are meant to be driven" was your argument and if I just got a car wash a week all would be good.

So whose storing there cars now? Haha. If you remember that, I have crazy memory lol.

[TyBrones87]

Oh of course I remember it hahaha. I really changed my mind.... alot

[sk8phreak88]

Haha. See what happens when you get a nice car? :P

[rybs]

I drove my nice car in the snow, and the pos in the summer.

Figure that one out.

[defiler]

Trying to crash the good car by driving it in the bad winter weather? Get out of payments?:lol:

[rybs]

lol, no. It was a lot nicer to drive being new and all, especially in the winter. That being said, all my toys are a pain in the ass. Loud and impractical.
