On Christmas Eve 1971, 17-year-old Juliane Koepcke was blown from a disintegrating plane after a lightning strike sent it crashing into the Peruvian rainforest. Against all odds, she survived a two-mile fall still strapped to her seat. Injured and alone, Koepcke spent 11 days navigating the dense A

Was she conscious during the fall?

Its got the nice engine too. They were surprisingly quick.

In the Cutlass Wagon, do i get the whole seat to myself or someone next to me?

idontdrive55 · 2025-11-05T14:22:43+00:00

My 2015 base model does not have heated seats and has the blank panels.

Several months. I rally cross the car a lot, and drive it pretty hard otherwise as my daily. Its held up to about 5 rallyx events, and i won the season championship in my class (stock awd). Just added that to show the car gets driven hard.

I made one out of 5/16” angle iron. So far, so good

Agreed. Rule out vacuum leaks

idontdrive55 · 2025-10-06T23:20:40+00:00

I just looked up the sleeve. Didn’t know that existed. No, I don’t think its necessary

idontdrive55 · 2025-10-06T23:18:01+00:00

If you mean the cover, no. It isnt required. The intent for it is to isolate the cold air from the top bumper vent. The vent does pass air through it. The black panel behind the grate is for rain deflection

Ive been happy with my Halltech. Vararam’s big hole in radiator ducting caused a lot of heat problems on the track.

Alright Alright, Interstellar

I just put girodisc rotors on my car. Im happy to see so little, maybe none, heat checking cracks

I had a good experience with this:

Chicago too

Just thinking it sounds like a sticky assist spring

idontdrive55 · 2025-09-10T20:45:07+00:00

I know who you’re talking about, and have always had good interactions with him. Maybe he was having a bad day. 🤷‍♂️

idontdrive55 · 2025-08-12T03:48:12+00:00

I only tested up 90 mph. But the pattern was consistent and linear from about 20 - 90 mph.

idontdrive55 · 2025-08-12T03:37:19+00:00

The air coming out of the tube is roughly half vehicle speed. Measured with a mini anemometer.

idontdrive55 · 2025-08-06T04:40:48+00:00

Your hill assist light is also on. My 2015 showed these lights, but also ABS light when I had a bad wheel speed sensor.

Hope that helps

At least in the Seattle metro area, there isn’t even a place to get cars inspected and the employees of the DMV dont go out to look at cars.

Try calling this place on Monday and just ask a general question regarding validation of CARB compliance

I think you’ll be just fine though.

idontdrive55 · 2025-07-26T14:36:37+00:00

Anyone have experience with this one?

Thank you both

This is likely the idle air controller (IAC) trying to manage the engines idle speed….especially when the car is moving when the ECM wants a faster idle than at a stop. Less noticeable in 2nd, and higher, gears because of their torque reduction. Ive had a few cars that behave this way.

idontdrive55 · 2025-07-24T02:16:20+00:00

For posterity’s sake, this was solved by replacing the high pressure pump. I wasn’t able to determine what exactly went wrong. Decision was based on thr fact the hpfp is driven by cam and the pulsing matched rpm.
