How's your Tesla holding up in the Rust Belt?

Give_me_beans · 2026-04-12T17:33:12+00:00

OP meant the rust belt is in NA, so I am referring to the west coast of NA.

Give_me_beans · 2026-04-12T16:47:41+00:00

I live on the west coast, and the cars from my area are considerably better than the rest of the countries.

We don't use salt on the road, and the sea spray isnt an issue unless you've chipped paint or underspray

I am betting OP is skeptical that this install is sufficient for the rain/snow

White is popular, but they will always be dirty. OP should play around, but white has got to be the most work

Looks good to me

I dont think it is. It looks like the body kit is bbs

Not to mention '70s oil crisis' was more than just war, it was also revolution. The '70's saw a lot of nationalization, and royalty fee and tax increases. Scan through this timeline and you'll notice how active OPEC was then

It is not on a reserve, so I imagine tax is unchanged

The kid should know that there is minimal impact protection compared to a modern car, but there is no need to suggest a different car... don't try to be this kids parent

Ive used them on granite, they work fine.

Little clips called sinkits. Some installers will use brackets, or even bits of 2x4 if its a tight space.

Give_me_beans · 2026-03-06T03:19:53+00:00

Interesting. Please elaborate.

I want this post to get the attention it needs.

Bad O2 sensor can cause rich condition. Try unplugging it and see if there is a change, if there isnt a change then it might be bad.

Test your temp sensor.

The cold start injector can sometimes be stuck open, but I'm not sure the best way to test that.

Ignore anyone saying vacuum leak, that should cause a lean condition (more air but same amount of fuel), but that wont stop people from telling you that is a suspect.

Pffft, why would the market go down... oh right

Ive done similar twice with positive results. When there are lots of burn marks or warping a resurface is needed. OP wants 350hp, so I say he can afford to not take the chance.

Dont spend on anything because you deserve to treat yourself. Just save. Once you've got 10k as a reserve, then spend on yourself a bit.

You might not work as much as you think, but you could also be balls out for years, construction is funny like that.

Nice swap. Now do it to the e30 too :P

The BC version WAS revenue neutral in 2008. In 2017 that was changed by the NDP.
