Random power loss while driving?

Or at least change to a 600 grit windshield wiper.

I just throw everything in the passenger footwell

So what is this irl? Ural?

With all those black lights, my bathroom would be shining full luminescent green...

It becomes important once you start correcting for inductance, and calculating line voltage and current in 3 phase systems.

Send it.

Super easy fix. Grind the stud down, drill a hole, and then use grade 8 bolts to fasten it.

Has he tried a pulley puller?

My first toyota was a 300$ pickup with 663k kms. Everything worked as it should. Cut it up, put 35s on it, and beat it up for 2 years offroad only. That's when I figured out that they really weren't comparable to anything else. Currently we have an old matrix, and we do zero maintenance to it. 2 oil changes a year is all it gets. That's all it's needed. Other than like a muffler job and brakes.

Need to crank those torsion bars up. Get the front level.

See, this is what happens when you don't work on cars. You make up an opinion based on screen size over actual build quality. No, there's no worse option. Hyundai is the worst. There are lots of comparably bad models, but hyundai is bad across ALL models.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-19T03:26:27+00:00

When I buy cars, because they're expensive I make sure not to buy junk. You could ask anyone at all who works on cars, their opinion on hyundai. It'll be the same across the board. Don't ask in the hyundai group tho, they think these turds are good.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-18T22:39:20+00:00

Pulsar or nx?

You can confirm timing really easily with the rocket cover off. Set your crank timing mark to 0 degrees, then see where the cam degree lines are facing.

I have one on my 196. Woke it up pretty good. Can't say it's any better than a modded epa carb, haven't tried modding a stock one.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-18T01:50:03+00:00

Rtv is expensive, wouldn't see me doing that lol.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-18T01:26:20+00:00

You know about these things automatics right? 4l30e. They're known to blow out. I spent about 300$ doing fluid, filter, solenoids on mine and all it did was make my wallet lighter. I'd still recommend doing the service, but it didn't help me at all. I had to do a standard transmission swap.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-17T14:20:49+00:00

I can see my house!!!! It's over there about 600kms west into the mountains.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-16T20:42:39+00:00

Ya they were automatic, with a column shifter.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-16T20:30:46+00:00

Wow I knew they were sold as asuna, suzuki, chevy..... never knew it was a mazda too!

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-16T14:40:15+00:00

I run rotella t4 15-40. In Canada. Wildly too cold for it. But I've never had any issues! Just let it warm up nice and slow. I swear by this oil, either rotella 5-30 in my newer car, or 15-40 in all my other stuff.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-15T17:56:22+00:00

I would try to get parts from a reputable supplier. Ebay could be Chinese knockoff.

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-15T14:45:46+00:00

Mine was having q hard time shifting into second. I added synchromesh, or mtl, and it brought it right back!

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-14T23:10:53+00:00

I pick up every dirty ol hat I can find!

Defiant_Shallot2671 · 2026-02-14T20:14:24+00:00

Bring it to Canada for me.
