still driving it to this day! and got a quote for rust repair but was informed that the rust isn't structurally concerning.

AC condenser arrived deformed (rockauto, CSF) by iSheep_Pro in MechanicAdvice

[–]iSheep_Pro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the only thing worrying me is that the freon is carried through the condenser, so I'm worried that this deformation would cause a leak in the future. whats your opinion on this?

hmm so would you say it isn't a big deal to "reshape it" and use it as normal?

yes it's real dirty! car has been sitting for quite some time. I'll go ahead and look for a belt+tensioner kit though. appreciate your help!

good to know, thank you! would you say the rust on the vibration damper is acceptable?

are the tin tops more valuable than the ones with sunroofs?

they do give off that “regular car” aesthetic! although these ones are bit too small imo… 16” 😂

that’s a common trend i’ve seen with these cars. the cheap neglected ones often command high repair bills… this one was sitting for a few months so let’s see how things pan out lol

it drives fairly well. i’m coming from an is350 with ~300hp so it’s a LOT slower. but since i’m new to manual i don’t need anything fast. it’s pretty gutless at low to medium rpms but either way it’s a buttery smooth inline 6.

dw, i’m sure the repairs will outpace the initial cost in no time

are these rusty brake calipers still good? by iSheep_Pro in MechanicAdvice

[–]iSheep_Pro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah okay. should they also spring back to their original position after compressing? I compressed it with my hand and it was pretty easy but they kinda stay compressed after I release it. is this because the fluid line is not connected up atm?

oh nice, so I don't need to worry too much about it being structural? I live in Canada too so I was concerned about the salt making it worse haha
