13 INCH DICK posted:So here's the inside. It was a little less private than I assumed, but then I had never actually seen the inside so I was taking it as an improvement over curbside any day. It's got no lights inside or outlets, but there are a *ton* of oil stains on the floor already so Tinkering with my streamlight and magnetic base look like we're good to go. Also nothing *specifically* preventing me in my rental agreement, I checked My garage at least has a bare bulb and power outlet on the wall. Rental agreement just says we're not supposed to run anything except lights in the garages, but doesn't say I can't run an extension cord and a bunch of shop lights under my car, so win!

Darchangel posted:Oh, OK - Seattle = rain, not frozen wasteland. Seems like a fair number of the "idiot drivers on ice" videos were from Seattle, but I guess that was because it was so rare. There's tons of people in the PNW that are terrible at driving in the rain/on snow/ice. The one thing they have in common is that their prior residence was in California.

Paint's beyond salvageable. Yeah, that'd be a typical Maaco job  . One of the POs of my AE86 had taken it in for a lovely Maaco or Earl Scheib paint job and covered the really nice factory two-tone blue metallic with an awful robins' egg blue paint that was so lovely that you could peel it off the plastic front lip/bumper cover just spraying it down with a garden hose. There wasn't even a reason I could find to have had it repainted - it never had any rust or body damage.

It's easy as poo poo with light cars. 8ender posted:Adapt a kickstarter from a 70's Goldwing and problem solved Looking at the starter on the 1978 Goldwing sitting in my garage, I have a feeling it's much too big for this application.

13 INCH DICK posted:Eh, it was a mom with her young daughter, an honest accident, and no real damage done. She was freaking the gently caress out pretty bad so after I verified everything seemed to be still attached I told her to not worry about it and have a nice day since I'm not a dick When the young woman ran the stop sign and totaled out my civic and her forester, her insurance kept calling me asking me to claim money for 'pain and suffering' for my injuries in the accident (I got a hairline fracture on my left ring finger knuckle). I never called him back because I don't care about extorting more money from her insurance - they paid for my visit to the urgent care and gave me a fair payout for my car, that's all I care about. I wish more people weren't litigious greedy assholes that view an accident as a payday.

Or my dad said paint it bright orange, put a 1/2 on the door, the japanese naval war flag on the roof and make it a General Li. Quick correction: Japanese has no 'L' sound (it's a somewhat phonetically limited language), so you'd want to call it the Genneraa Ree to phonetically correct with the Japanese themeage. 'Li' would work for Chinese or Korean though.

Buying angry avs is pretty passive-aggressive IMHO.

OFFICER 13 INCH posted:Yes i'm sure that one of the most iconic, most sold, easiest to fix, and popular vehicles ever made must be worse than a Biturbo. Well, to be fair to the BiTurbo, it does have a somewhat comfortable interior, a functional heater, and produces more power than a wet fart when it does run, so it's at least got that going for it. E: also I could be wrong, but I do suspect fewer people were worked to death building BiTurbos via slave labour than were Beetles.

Yuuuuuup. I go through the same thing trying to get parts for my 70's Goldwing. The best source for parts other than eBay is a site called straightwings.com that sells used take-offs, since most everything for them is NLA. I'm still trying to find someone selling the little rubber grommet-thingy that holds the flasher relay in place since my original rotted to bits, and I still haven't found one after the better part of a year.

torpedan posted:The best thing to do would be to measure the gasket contact surface that the filter spins on to as opposed to trying to find something similar to the current filter. If he gets lucky he might have more room than he thinks (or not.) MANN+HUMMEL has a crossreference site where you can plug in general dimensions and its spits out what they have. There's entirely a chance that the OEM filter for his engine has a dodgy bypass valve to begin with - my '78 Honda has a weak bypass design and no anti-drain back on it's original filter cartridges. I wonder if anyone makes an adaptor plate like this for his engine: http://randakks.com/collections/filters/products/honda-gl1000-gl1100-gl1200-cbx-dohc-4-cx500-and-variants-engine-parts (Considering his car already uses some other parts off of Goldwings of that era, would entirely be not surprised to find his car uses the same crap cartridge and canister design and that bolts right up).

That's the same thing I was wondering a page or two ago. I was wondering how similar those are to 70's era Goldwing oil filters (hey, his car already has a Goldwing gas cap on it!), because they make adapters to allow you to use a common Ford oil filter size that's cheap everywhere.

It took me until I was thirty-six to find a not-crazy to stick my dick in. I'm now married to that not-crazy, but for a year or two I felt like I was at rock bottom and seriously contemplated suicide since it felt like nobody was ever going to care about me. It doesn't feel like it'll get better, but it does. We're here for you 13".
