  1. Actually, that's the very part I'm talking about that I thought was listed as an exhaust bearing! I went to get wheels cylinders, shoes, and pads for my 1998 Jeep Cherokee Limited last summer so Dad and I could do a brake job on it (still need to before this summer's out, rear brakes have 120k on them but it still stops!) and when the kid behind the parts counter found the part number in hte computer, he asked me if I needed the wheel cylinders for the front or the back.....of a truck has never had drum brakes on the front axle................ Also had a parts boi ask me one time if I knew whether or not the inductions system of my '85 Chrysler Lebaron Turbo (2.2l SOHC) would fit his mid 90's Chevy Cavalier (with the 2.2l OHV)......And yes the Caviler did have a big aluminum wing, glass pack with 5" tail pipe and 1.5" through pipe, and weathered paint, stock rims and hubcaps with the low line textured gray bumpers..........
  2. You mean this? http://www.shoplaser.com/index.html There's just some things you can't make up......................
  3. Funny thing is, IIRC VW actually has either a muffler or exhaust bearing! I think it's the flex joint couplers between the down pipes and the reat of the exhaust system.
  4. Only if they involve model Ford Explorers
  5. This would probably be funnier if it were combined with this like so
  6. I'm guessing he's do that just to "do that", blown away by the work he's doing though!
  7. I have to ask since it's a "dirt road burner", how much "E-100" are you giong to put in the trunk
  8. I posted this on a few forums that give "preview windows" when you roll over the name of the thread, one guy saw the photobucket link when he did that and still tried to click on the YouTube pic. Most people got a laugh out of it, maybe peeved off a couple people, and I think I confused one or two........
  9. Wow, so that's what they're doing with the Colt since removing it from eh US market.
  10. Now that I look at you're problem it sounds a little like a problem my sister had with the alarm installed in her '92 Cherokee Brairwood before she purchased it (don't know if it was factory, but it had been there a long, long time!) Seems that sometimes her truck would refuse to start for no reason, Dad even took the starter over to a local parts house that had a machine to check it them and it worked fine! Finally they figured out that if she tried to unlock the door a second time with her key it would start. Dad even tried to get rid of the alarm system and has had to replace both the alternator and starter in the last year but it still does it from time to time...........
  11. Oh that was good, must have clicked it nearly half dozen times
  12. Might try and PM Phil Patterson, his daughter just bought a '98 Caravan Sport in thr past year IIRC and he' done some of the work on it for her
  13. Has a real CarToons look to it!
  14. hehehe, for some reason the line from some Limp Bizkit song "pop your *** like a zit" came to mind when I read that
  15. Pardon the stupid questions, but what makes that van a "Horst" (I'm mildly familiar what what Horst used to be) and how many of the VW vans could get out of their own way before the Eurovan's hit the market?
  16. I do like the way those "Saturns" looks, didn't realise that were pricey though.
  17. My first boss had one, it was so basic that it didn't even have full hubcaps, just plain argent wheels with silver dollar sized center caps, 3cyl/5-speed combo, and a radio. Kinda wish I could get my hands on a clean K-Car for cheap though!
  18. Wow, it does have that 60's Show Rod/Slingshot Dragster look going on!
  19. Hell, I don't know if I could get my fat rear into one that's stock let alone chopped and dropped!

  21. You know guys, they used to make aircraft skinned in cloth and still cover wood stick fuselage RC aircraft in a heat shrink plastic.
