No, I'm getting new rims some time this week or next..

 

 

These are the actual rims that was on this model and package

 

No, no leather in this one, I will keep this car as it did when it came out of the factory.. Plus that these seats was realy hard to find, been looking for a a month or 2... Might get my self to get a 760 instead, was gonna buy one last month but the owner stopped sending E-mails!

Nice job on cleaning up the interior there. Looks like you put a lot of hard work in. I'm with Moody on changing the seats and interior though. Get some black leather in there, it'll look great and add value to it.

My brother's looking at getting a 1988 Honda Accord as his "thrash" car.

Be sure to post picture of your brothers car in the "post a pic of your car here!" topic.

No, I realy don't want to do such, I mean, yeah the seats that are in looks terrible, but they where hard to come by..

 

I will keep this car totaly stock!

Could they possibly redeem themselves? I feel like the most recent Camaros aren't the best looking vehicles out there. Personally, they look a bit too heavy and bulky.. I wish they'd make it look more like the older models.

[Testarossa]

It sounds pretty great. Hopefully it won't turn out to be like that horrible looking monstruosity from the latest Transformers movie.

[Affalterbach]

The Jaguar XE S looks really good, one of the nicest 4 door Jaguar atm imo.

fast

[Gouveia]

The OBDII dongle I bought from DX just arrived. I tried it a little with DashCommand on the Android and... It's fun! Seriously, I liked it a lot, it's kinda fast too. Gonna do some more experiments with it to make a good dash. Defo going in my project car (when I get one ) while I don't get a dash.

So we've discovered that the Honda's temperature gauge doesn't work and that there was very little, if any, water in it.

[Killerdude]

Hehehe

Reminds me.

Discovered the silverado had cruise, Went along the highway out to morinville last week, On the way back thing started overheating, Blew the rad cap off, Started packing snow and ditch water into the reservoir.

 

Could've blown the block open had I not caught the thing over 125C.

 

 

 

 

Cruise works though.

[G's Ah's]

Cruise control? Also, took it for a spin. Found out that it was leaking and was probably caused by the overheating.

[Carlover325]

It's the other way around. The overheating was caused by the leak.

[G's Ah's]

Might be. We don't know if the reason why the radiator had no water in it was because of the leak or the leak was caused by overheating because of the lack of water.

 

But it's a $700 car anyway, so you pay for what you get. A radiator for it is less than $100 anyway, so it's not really a major issue.

[Carlover325]

Car overheated due to lack of water. Lack of water is because of the leak.

Thinking about joining the BMW club here. I went to look at a e39 528i today. Nice car but the rust was setting in on it. Had to walk away. It was a black wagon with black leather, might have been a shadowline. Nav package, electric everything. Totally cool car.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Guy also had a '65 Caprice in great shape. Don't see many of them these days. Caprice was a rare package on the 65 Impala. Had the 396 turbojet V8 in. I should have got a couple of pictures of it for the spotted thread....

Finished applying my latest stickers on the rice burner. I'm totally sponsored by Dinka now. Yeah. Totally.

 

[epoxi]

Not a fan of the other stickers, but I like the GTA branding.

And as I said, we don't know either way.

That's pretty badass. I like that a lot. I wonder how many people will get it.

Not the worst anime stickers I've seen placed on a car.

Considering the norm for anime car stickers, those are pretty tame and also tolerable.

Except we do. Overheating does not cause leaks. Leaks can cause overheating.

We don't know whether the crack was there before the car overheated or it was caused from overheating.

[Svip]

How can the engine overheating leave a crack? That engine would have to have been a) pretty badly made, b) already seriously damaged or c) that was some serious overheating.

Well, considering it took two 1.5 liter bottles of water to fill the radiator back up, probably some serious overheating. It didn't help that the temperature gauge wasn't working.
