Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

For good measure I drove the new Exploder Sport. With a Livernois chip maybe, but I can't get over the non-leather covered dash. Otherwise it is really pretty impressive considering.

Is that the ecoboost?

One with a charged 4.6 would be a fun little toy.

I was really implying a sports sedan that is well balanced, but I have a problem with cars that aren't fast. Killing me now as I really don't like ANY of my options.

M6. 2 door sedan. Done.

Rental property needs a new clothes dryer. SOAB.

What is it doing? I thought mine shit, but fixing it was UBER easy with the internets help.

Grinding noise even when hand spinning the drum. BIL cleaned and oiled up be bearings and no change.....

He missed one.  Definitely a bearing, probably a support bearing.  Hell mine weren't even bearings but bushings.  Oiling and cleaning won't help mine.  They were a whopping $4 each though...

If it still had an 8 I'd be willing to take an older new body style and have some fun with it.  The chassis wasn't too bad in the sport.

Couldn't be an internal motor bearing?

He is pretty thorough. Takes things apart for a living...

Really thought about a V10 TDI when I got the ML.  Just not quite quick enough

They should have parts available for anything.  They are cheap.  It is the labor that isn't.

All the old cayennes jumped up in price by 15k at some point. I remember passing on a black turbo that had all the perfect options, looked mint, had 50-60k and was priced at under 30. I was sure I could find better...

Sort of digging on the red, although I DO NOT need to be noticed that much

The V12 Audi however is not :(

Maybe that is what I was thinking of. The v10 Volkswagen isn't as bitchin as I thought I remember reading it would be.

I just found my 18" FI project box. I should put that sub in there. It's junk but at least I could have it working. LoL.

And any power adders on the V10 tend to liquify the tranny
