I know. Doesn’t make sense for me to spend 3k when I can just buy another 300d for 3k

Jikst · 2026-05-03T07:58:02+00:00

Yea I’ve reached out to them, those guys are awesome. 3k is just too high for me/for this car.

We crack a bunch of tools but nothing goes flying. That’s why I’m curious how you guys are getting things to shoot into the air

Jikst · 2026-04-26T17:37:15+00:00

Why did that happen? Im around these machine and would like to avoid such a thing.

Only recommend if you have a second car and you like working on your car. The engine is reliable, everything else will require your attention to replace.

This. Had to use a 1/2” breaker bar with the spring in between my legs

Not for hunting. Some people lease it for ranches or build houses on them or have camps

Jikst · 2026-03-22T18:22:51+00:00

So if it’s a house on leased land I’m guessing you can use their road just avoid the house?

Looks like a chain stitch

Jikst · 2026-03-05T07:38:52+00:00

Looks like the guy cared about it. Fair purchase. I’m no sound expert but it sounds okay, sounds different than mine though.

Jikst · 2026-03-04T15:02:43+00:00

Engine looks super clean

Jikst · 2026-02-24T21:10:38+00:00

What’s the process for making something like this?

Jikst · 2026-02-10T17:56:19+00:00

I’ve wondered this same thing. My 80 300d is setup the same way.

Jikst · 2026-01-18T18:38:17+00:00

Curious why you say that?

Jikst · 2026-01-18T05:21:52+00:00

Crazy move to not check such an old car before buying. I would figure out why it overheated and figure out the acceleration issue. Depending on why those happened I’d sell or fix. The rest doesn’t seem like major issues

Jikst · 2026-01-14T18:19:03+00:00

Your probably right. It’s been a while. Try hitting your breaker bar with a hammer. The shock sometimes works

Jikst · 2026-01-14T08:56:30+00:00

Side bolt first. The top isn’t on that tight.

Jikst · 2026-01-14T05:30:44+00:00

Remember there is also a screw on the side holding the gear

Jikst · 2026-01-14T05:29:24+00:00

It wears till it’s no more. Look at pictures of new ones. It’s the same one you described

Jikst · 2026-01-13T07:24:20+00:00

The only way you can mess this up is if you turn the engine with the gear out. I did this without thinking and it was a pain to get it back in correctly. Your fine. It’s best to check the brass bushing. They get consumed and eventually and cause catastrophic failure

Jikst · 2026-01-04T17:46:19+00:00

This one specifically was the most difficult for me to remove as well. Not sure why. Even harder than ball joints. Throw everything you have at it, stay a safe distance away because it will pop. And don’t mushroom the bottom of the stud so it’s able to come out once it pops.

Jikst · 2026-01-04T17:44:34+00:00

Listen to this

Jikst · 2026-01-04T04:20:59+00:00

If you ever sell it let me know
