2000 Neon, 2.0, 5spd. I wiggled the clutch cable, and the pedal gained about half its travel in free play. Ferrules are intact, cable is sitting in the fork the way it should, the pedal end looks the way it's supposed to as well, and I'm being blamed for breaking the car by my whiny idiot roommate. Aside from the chance that the cable's had already failed and I knocked some hackjob fix apart I've got nothing. Any ideas? e: so it's got some stupid self-adjuster on the cable and it seems to have failed. Nice. Turbo Fondant fucked around with this message at 03:48 on Mar 31, 2015 |

kid sinister posted:My 1988 Ford F150 didn't have rear speakers, so I ran wires back behind the bench seat anyway and put in some 6x9" truck boxes. That would normally be OK, but they like to scoot forward against the back of the bench seat and muffle out their sound. Has anyone dealt with this before? What are my options? Strap the boxes down somehow? As a former Ford Bricknose owner (and I'm sill a major fan of them), I'll say that any solution to a problem like this that requires you to spend more than $10 is the wrong one. I'm thinking find a way to strap them down or use velcro. Personally though if I wanted to do an audio upgrade on one of these I'd have just put good front speakers in and not bothered with rears at all.

GenIII SBC intake gaskets are generally reusable unless they're cracked/damaged/crusty right? I've got to do knock sensors on my 2000 LR4.

BrokenKnucklez posted:eehhhhhhhh maybe. I would have one on hand before you do the job, I have had some pretty poo poo luck with gaskets lately. Alright, I'll make sure to pick some up. Any other things I should order for this job, or common 'while I'm in there' stuff?

Squashy Nipples posted:On a totally unrelated issue, I'm buying a used car, and I thought that a CarFax was supposed to cost like $12? I just paid $55 for a CarProof (  ). If I wanted to include records from BC in the search it'd have been $75. And it was the same price when our funbux were at par with American Dollhairs.poo poo's just expensive. They don't have much for competition and it's become a mandatory part of a used car sale so they know they can get away with charging whatever.

Git Mah Belt Son posted:I was checking out a late model 2014 used car that seems great but I'm on the fence because of one issue I saw. For whatever reason, the passenger door jamb has expanding foam in it. No idea why it was there. I didn't bring it up to the dealer yet, maybe using it as a bargaining chip later if it's nothing major. Let's put it this way: PO thought that was a good idea. The reason they did so isn't even relevant really, that sort of person isn't the PO you want, even on a car that new.

Familiar Foreigner posted:No check engine lights on the Camry and the suburban has been aligned multiple times by a few places. My dad says it only has one adjustment for toe and the caster and camber can't be set, but not sure how true that is. The camry's TPS was just replaced with no noticeable effect. You can absolutely set the caster/camber on a SFA, it's just done with shims (heavier stuff uses a caster shim between the spring and axle, more ordinary trucks generally have some sort of combination caster/camber shim somewhere on or near the knuckle). Just not a well-known procedure and kind of a pain in the rear end, so you're probably getting toe-n-blow alignments. Dog tracking is often a thrust angle thing though, how is the rear looking bushing-wise? Also a Suburban that late should have IFS I thought?
