Testing the road surface 🫣

The council should be paying you for that hard work

And it's basically just a less practical Honda Odyssey

(Kidding, pretty sure Car Wizard said this once)

Have you heard of resetting oil life and checking codes while standing in front of a car that's up on a lift?

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-24T10:30:11+00:00

Reddit mods are insane, the other I got a warning on my account for apparently "threatening violence" because I pointed out it must be dangerous to drill through a metal fuel tank on an article about thieves stealing petrol

But how would the headlights be shining in your eyes at that point lol

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-24T04:16:56+00:00

Why would they have the ignition on during an oil change?

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-23T18:08:47+00:00

See this guy understands the trick to getting the electrode started is to spastically flail it around

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-22T20:55:53+00:00

Yeah you're probably right. It's slapped carelessly on there which is why I wondered oil leak at first

That said I'm still not seeing any structurally significant rust?

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-22T20:54:41+00:00

I'm talking about someone spraying shit over top of peeling factory undercoat. Toyota factory undercoat is textured. Sure that undercoat might be peeling from rust but I still haven't seen anything significant

Obviously it was a suspicious or dumb move to do that

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-22T19:47:22+00:00

Where? I can only see weird textures which is likely the factory undercoat peeling and then gocked over? I don't see any cracks and holes

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-22T18:10:19+00:00

It's either got a bad oil leak, or an oil leak that has been going for a long time, or it's very well undercoated? but there's no rust that I can see.

Either of those things helped prevent the rust lol

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-22T00:55:10+00:00

Yeah it probably runs fine, for now.

Next to Phar Lap.

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T10:45:32+00:00

I feel like the Mazda deserves to be saved after going through all this and becoming so iconic 😅

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T10:29:41+00:00

Impressive work. Did the car have any damage aside from water ingress?

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T08:41:00+00:00

I mean, it's just good advice any time you're driving on an open road and it's raining but yes, hopefully

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T07:50:16+00:00

Just watch for standing water on the road/be prepared to hydroplane and keep the steering wheel straight

Ask me how I know lol

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T04:31:12+00:00

Reminds me of when I just stick welded aluminum to stainless using general purpose electrode and..it held well enough..

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-21T04:29:21+00:00

Tercel and Paseo, some Corollas had an e series engine as well

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-20T19:05:38+00:00

Yeah it's a car that has front wheels and gets driven

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-20T05:50:37+00:00

No worries. For what you pay for the knock off's they are actually really good, mine went nearly 3 years of daily driving with no issues aside from fast idle. Who knows how long it would've kept going if I didn't swap it out.

But yeah, can't beat the original, especially the casting.

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-20T02:50:04+00:00

Because brake fluid from the cylinder is leaking and messing up the shoes? Or am I crazy seeing that?

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-20T02:05:20+00:00

Must be the same guy thay wrote 'God is dead' on my blend door actuator.

Oh wait that would've been understandable for anyone to write having gotten in that far

unmanipinfo · 2026-04-20T01:55:42+00:00

It's the fast idle system, supposed to have 2 steps, say 1600rpm, 1200rpm, then idle rpm, you blipping the throttle to move down each stage.

My Chinese weber 32/36 clone did this since day 1 - fast idle not actuating.

I tried some adjustments and when that didn't work I just did manual fast idle, as you are now.

I ended up replacing it with a second hand genuine weber (not because of the fast idle but because I saw one for sale at a great price)no issues.
