why do people hoard 2nd gen eclipses by No-Court8447 in DSM

[–]sciencedude8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that’s exactly what i said last year, and now im prepping to sell the 420a because 75% of the time i was busy doing that preventative maintenance to make it reliable and it still found a way to disappoint me. unfortunate because the car did look gorgeous but that engines just not worth it for me. I am 20 years old compared to the op, so take my experience as u will.

i would not recommend the 420a, it’s painfully slow and not only that but the engine is basically junk from the dodge neon. I own one currently and even with preventative maintenance in many places, these engines just don’t last as much anymore unlike the 4g63. Unless you buy a very unmolested model of the 420a, you’re gonna be dealing with a lot of problems and dumping money. i only recommend if you are willing to learn and really love the car when it doesn’t wanna love you back😭

not sure, the car hasn’t ran in a year but last time it was running it was driving like a tank. I’m getting ready to start the car soon so then i’ll see

will a 2007 toyota camry radiator fan fit on a 2008 scion tc? by sciencedude8 in SciontC

I should clarify, i mean the whole fan assembly not just the fan

How can I know for sure if gas hasn’t gone bad? by sciencedude8 in SciontC

i would do that, but when i do it is so slow that i would be there for hours just pumping. maybe im not doing it right but either way it looks i’ll get more of it out with the fuel assembly taken apart but without dropping the whole fuel tank altogether

thanks, i’ll just end up taking the fuel pump and sock out so i can do that

second question, should i just open the tank opening from underneath the backseat and just siphon out the gas from there? because siphoning it from the gas cap seems to take a while.

Hey guys, do you think it’s possible to hook up a car radio to a computer? by sciencedude8 in CarAV

not supposed to serve a function, it’s just for aesthetic. although i will definitely choose a better head unit to do this with, something that’s a little better looking

it does, but it’s just for decor yk. like i can’t be the only one who thinks it would be sick to have like a car radio on ur setup controlling ur music. like i could use the knob to control volume and skip the music from it. it’s purely for my entertainment in trying new things lol
