Astroman posted:The best combo are the jerks who regulate you to 45 in the 55, and if you are able to pass, tailgate you in the 30 as if it say "see, you shouldn't have passed me! I would go 45 on this whole road, you should too!" Love those fuckers. 30 mph speed limit? Better do 45! 55 mph speed limit? Better do 45!

Whoever did the engine swap in my Nova replaced the battery cables as well. They switched the colors. Red cable goes to negative and black cable goes to positive, right?

11BulletCatcher posted:WHo cares what others think, it's about what I think. For me driving an old car is about driving it as it was meant to be driven at time of manufacture. I'm complaining objectively. I drive superbly with what's in place, but I know just how superior discs would be. But I can't bring myself to do the conversion. I understand the desire to keep things stock and as they were. I do. However, when it comes to something that's at the absolute forefront of the operation (and safety) of the vehicle, why would you not try to improve that? If you don't want to go with big crazy 14 inch rotors and 4-pot calipers, that's fine. But I've driven manual-drum cars before. I had one as a DD for about four years. It sucks. If I had the money at the time, I'd have jumped at discs in a heartbeat. At least for the fronts. Again, I totally understand that you want the whole experience of driving a classic car. I used to drive one every day and I just got another one. It puts a big stupid smile on my face every time I get in it. BUT, there is no need to punish yourself and put both yourself and your car at risk for the sake of preserving a feeling of nostalgia. If GM thought it was prudent to put discs on it from the factory, I'm sure they would have. Disc brakes existed when your car was manufactured and I'm sure there were guys swapping them in when they were only a couple years old. I'm really not trying to come down on you about this. I just don't want to see a nice classic car wadded up because of terrible factory brakes. PS: Drum brakes loving suck dick to work on and that should be motivation enough in itself.

Ror posted:Gold Deloreans had gold wheels too, so I don't think it is. They look a lot shinier in other pictures too. I've heard that a lot of the painted Deloreans you see have had major body repairs done. Nobody can seem to replicate the brushed finish on the stainless, so they just paint the whole drat thing.

Mine was a 4-door, too. Your grandpa was probably a pretty cool dude. In my '71, the lap and shoulder belts are completely separate. 2 straps, 2 buckles. And my '72 was just like that. ^^^

Not "My ears or still ringing" or "I"m still picking bits of exhaust out of my garage floor" or even "yup, that was me"... Nope. Just "Hi Would it make you feel better to know that I'm still pulling pieces of the seat cover out of my rear end? I've still got the baffle from the muffler on a shelf in the garage. It will live there forever as a memorial to the start of this project. The car is currently without an engine or subframe. A thread should be happening in the spring once I start getting things put back together.

xzzy posted:All rear wipers on modern cars are useless because manufacturers have made a habit of putting in rear glass with a really short vertical distance. What really loving gets my goat is that on my Mustang, the rear window is pretty flat. This means that if it's actively snowing, I have to keep my rear defrost on for my entire drive. And since the slope of the window isn't very steep, if it's a lot of snow, the slush just piles up at the bottom since it doesn't have anywhere to fall. I already have 3 dead wires, so I'm just waiting for another one to quit working.
