Why the gently caress are vehicles so cheap in PNW? I look at this and the cycle asylum craigslist threads, and drat, you guys have some great poo poo. Here in NC they'd be asking $11,000 yelling I KNOW WHAT I GOT.

Imperador do Brasil posted:The worst turbo setup. Eons of lag and no appreciable benefit. Novelty for novelty’s sake? No joke. Rear-mount can work, but you have to size for it, and really, why bother if you have as much room up front as that thing does? Rear-mount is when you can't get the turbo anywhere else. I was liking the car until I hit the pics with the boost pipes visible in the interior. That part's even dumber than the rear-mount itself. Ferrari-style moose center caps rule, though. slidebite posted:I'm the general purpose braided PVC hose being used as a fuel line That's oil supply for the turbo. Not really a problem, as it not a lot of pressure, and doesn't get very hot since it's only for the turbo. Still think I'd use something else on the pressure side.

  Yeah I messaged the seller on their facebook listing as soon as I saw this last night, would pretty much buy this sight unseen unless y'all can talk me out of it? She said she had someone coming in the AM so I'm assuming it's probably gone but if not I'll probably make a run at it.

Looks awful and overpriced, but it's a Westfalia so it's par for the course. There's almost certainly going to be rust inside the body panel behind the fridge/stove (if included) unless it was torn apart and fixed previously as water tends to condense behind those appliances when they run. Bubbling paint on that side would be a dead giveaway. All the fluids are going to have to be replaced. Don't know if it's carbureted or using CIS, either way it can be finicky and I think VW carbs of that vintage have a tendency have the brass fuel barb fall out while driving (might be limited to VW beetles only though). I can't remember what but there's something weird with the gas tank in those too, some rubber hose between tanks or to an evap canister that loves to crack with age and make everything smell like gasoline.

Unless you want to drop a ton of money because you dream of owning a Westfalia, I would hard pass on that.

I wouldn't trust a single thing STS ever has done, their mechanical kludges seem to work on the hot side but their application of thermodynamics on the coldside is so ridiculously wrong (ceramic coated charge pipe is an intercooler?) that I swear their marketing team designed it. And its quintuple  since that Volvo (well the 740 engine donor and earlier 240s) came turbocharged, and there's plenty of room to make just about any turbo fit easily.

I pointed that out on my original reply.

A friend is looking for a Jeep and sending me links asking if they're good. I owned an SJ once, I know nothing about Wranglers. Other than this might be a good deal or might be a money pit, and is speeled wrong in every way possible:  "needs some love but is perfect for a project or hunting vehicle" is a MASSIVE red flag, but otoh, it's a cheap CJ, and I can hook you up with a Mopar parts counter guy and maybe get a discount. If they still carry the parts. Which they probably do, because AMC didn't make anything but bodies and engines in-house. All the accessories were Ford and the transmissions were Chevy or Mopar depending on the era, with Buick engines way back. AMC was fuckin' weird.

Deteriorata posted:It says 6 cylinders, but I'm pretty sure I only count four in the picture. That's all it's supposed to have, but a worrying detail. To be fair, there's a lot of ads I see on CL from people that can't tell the difference between a manual and and automatic transmission. I know people that when then check engine light comes on in their car, open the hood and say "Yup, its still there" and that's the extent of their car knowledge. Not knowing how many cylinders an engine has by looking at it isn't surprising if it wasn't your car. Unless it was sitting in pieces and was hastily bolted back together for the ad, I'm wondering how much could be wrong on a car as basic as an old Jeep. All sorts of driveline fuckery I imagine (and sourcing parts would be fun), but there's not a hell of a lot of wiring to be hacked up... no power steering, no power brakes, no EFI or emissions. I imagine the carb needs to be gone through and probably the ignition needs work, and brakes but... maybe I've been watching too much Roadkill. boxen fucked around with this message at 17:23 on May 10, 2018 |

God damnit, it's "Willys", pronounced "willis", not "willies" and certainly not "Willy's". And that's not a Willys in the first place, it's an AMC CJ. Also, it says "Willy" on the side, so maybe that's the joke - it belongs to Willy, so it's Willy's. And yeah, definitely a 4-banger. edit: gently caress, I'm wrong. AMC didn't take over until 1970. And AMC used AMC engines, BTW, retiring the 225 V6 when they took over. This one has the 134 ci Hurricane 4 cylinder, which is an OHV version of the original Go-Devil. BTW, did you know that a down-draft carb won't fit under the hood on a flat-fender with the Go-Devil? Original is updraft, and the hood is right on top of the flatty 4. I had a neighbor who had one with a bread tin riveted to the hood to clear the newer carb. No, really. Darchangel fucked around with this message at 18:50 on May 10, 2018 |
