I'm wondering if NGK Iridium spark plugs would provide any better performance/longevity over the standard plugs. The standard plug is BP6ES, non resistor, while the Iridium BPR6EIX is a resistor plug. The resistor is there for noise suppression, or so they say. Is a resistor plug detrimental in a Pi...

dokatd,

Where are you? The neighborhood reminds me of Dallas, TX in the winter, though I guess you are a world apart from there.

I'm trying to run down the reason my turn signal flasher relay is only getting 9 volts with the ignition switch 'on' and the turn signal lever in either the LH or RH position. I replaced the original flasher with the SAV electronic replacement and there isn't enough voltage to get it working. If I p...

Ugly Goo! I wonder what the oil pump, valve gallery and main bearing passages (mains are gravity fed) look like. That driver is lucky he didn't create a pile of scrap. Change interval on the Model A was every 500 miles.

I requested a build sheet on my vehicle yesterday and the fee is a whopping 90 Euro !!! When I first read the post I thought it said "free", but I should have known. What does the build sheet include? Is it worth the euros? Who did you contact? I used the general query link on the website...

Bleed front brake circuit completely while ignoring the warning valve signal.

Have someone in the driver's seat apply brake pedal pressure and crack a bleeder fitting on one side at the wheel cylinder until the light goes out. If the first side doesn't do it, crack a bleeder on the opposite side.

Per the service manual: toe-IN (closer at the front) = 2-4 mm measured on the rim flange at hub centerline. Measure flange to flange at the rear and front between the front wheels. The front measurement should be 2-4 mm less than the rear measurement. Wheels should be straight ahead. There are a cou...

Yes, I now own the warn Pinz. Georg @ Valley Hybrids My wife and I saw your truck parked on Teal Ct. (?) at Quail Lakes Dr. on Christmas Day 2014. We stopped to take a look - nice. We asked one of the neighbors who was outside if they knew who owned it but they didn't, and being Christmas Day we di...

This appears to be a nice truck. It is in Quebec, however.

I can just see the drug dealers around Miami drooling over this.

I'll take one with the TOW missile launcher!

Definitely a golf cart on steroids.

If one were not reluctant to deviate from stock, a shaft from Tom Woods Custom Driveshafts might be just the ticket - for approx. half the price of a used shaft from SAV. A double cardan (CV) shaft (or double-double) would do wonders with the stock shaft geometry. http://www.4xshaft.com/ Yes, they s...
