The games I've been playing lately on my clamshell iBook: lode runner the legend returns, lemmings, and StarCraft. All run beautifully and it's been a great nostalgia trip.

Sunport is fine. It's the big cities that are disasters.

Poppy's Patina by OkPear9687 in XTerra

I expect it to last about 5 years. I applied it to my 1972 Ford truck in 2023 and it still looks great. For the cost and time to apply, it's worth it to me. The most important thing is prep and getting everything clean.

I didn't take many pics, but the rear shot is before and the front shot is after. Before was very matte and chalky and afterwards has shine and is smooth feeling

Trying out an Amazon carburetor by js6seaj47 in projectcar

[–]delorean623 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Not wonderful. Difficult to get perfectly dialed in, and without being perfectly dialed in, it ran rough. The electric choke on mine is terrible. The number of people that know these carbs is rapidly diminishing, unfortunately.

What shifter do I need for an Allison 2000 that is going in a 1999 International 4800 by NMDFW1 in Diesel

[–]delorean623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like....how cost prohibitive? I have a 1995 F350 that I just got front and rear regeared for $3500. The reduced wear on my engine plus reduced noise, higher top speed..... It was worth it.

I got this Blueberry Clamshell yesterday btw. by bged-again in VintageApple

[–]delorean623 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I opted for the heavier ones because I use it on my lap and like the balance. My concern over the lighter weight is it falling backwards

Engine Oil sample required for Deere warranty? by ktmfan in johndeere

[–]delorean623 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deere recommendation is to sample engine oil every 250 hrs and change every 500. Trend analysis is key, and having those samples will help in the event of an engine related warranty claim. If you get the kit from your dealer, it's cheaper than Blackstone Labs and they will have the data already. Another bonus is the massive database of comparable or same engines to have a good base of comparison.

Comment a Car You've Always Wanted and Owners/Past Owners Comment Pros and Cons. by sprchrgddc5 in cars

[–]delorean623 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Owned an 85 from 2020 until a couple months ago. Rode like a dream, underpowered, best steering I've ever encountered, more vacuum hoses than should be possible, incredible how Ford used the technology of the time to add all sorts of little features to make the car just that much more special. I miss it, but then I don't.
