I had an rx7 with a bad sunroof motor. So I rigged it to just unbolt by hand. Forgot to put the bolts back on

That was shitty. Luckily I had a spare at home.

>>13916814
At least you had the spare haha
I didn't even notice a pressure change I just caught it in the rearview as it popped out didn't even really make a sound luckily all the cars were pretty far behind me I just kept going was nothing I could do at that point. Felt like a dumbass driving home with no glass back there

>blows the rusty old exhaust system off at the bends after the exhaust manifolds
>drive home with the exhaust dragging on the ground and my earmuffs on because it's loud as fuck
I used this as an excuse to put some better flowing exhaust manifolds I had laying around on, and welded up a new, quieter, dual exhaust system.

I also had a backfire happen on my old KZ900 that was so bad it blew the carbs off.

>>13916814
I lold

Sure.

>>13915376
Possible but not practical

>>13915376
no. They had enough prblems balancing an inline 8, which is the reason they're no longer around.

From wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straight-eight_engine
>The smooth running characteristics of the straight-8 made it popular in luxury and racing cars of the past. However, the engine's length demanded the use of a long engine compartment, making the basic design unacceptable in modern vehicles. Also, due to the length of the engine, torsional vibration in both crankshaft and camshaft can adversely affect reliability and performance at high speeds. In particular, a phenomenon referred to as "crankshaft whip," caused by the effects of centrifugal force on the crank throws at high engine rpm, could cause physical contact between the connecting rods and crankcase walls, leading to the engine's destruction. As a result, the design has been displaced almost completely by the shorter V8 engine configuration.

'no'

>>13914496
Yes.

Voted.

new clutch cable wouldnt quite reach the pedal

i put a couple chain links on it to make up the difference. lasted abouf 4 months, and broke two days ago.

by that time, it had stretched enough to fit properly. 30 mins on the side of the road and now its really better than ever

>got a hairline crack on the upper connector nipple of my surge tank.

>Used some JB Weld for a quick fix because I needed to use the car before I could get a replacement tank.

>JB Weld held better than I expected.

>Much better than I expected.

>So well I got lazy and said it's good enough. No sense in buying a $99 surge tank when this JB is holding so well.

>Holds so well I completely forget about doing the repair.

>3 years later... Driving in town. Smell Coolant.

>Low coolant message pops up.

>Go to check level. Remember about the halfassed repair I did years earlier.

>Yep... the bond finally broke.

>Decide not to half ass it again and replace entire surge tank like I should have in the first place.


That was my first experience with JB Weld. I have to say, I'm pretty impressed. If it can hold in a moderate-high pressure situation like that for 3 years, it gets my stamp of approval.

>>13911897
3 is actually damn impressive indeed. I'd probably have half assed it again if it holds that long but sure, it's better to get that shit right if possible.

Roughly how many dollars a month does insurance go up if you get in a fender bender? Say damages are under 1000$.

>>13899046
They'll raise it pretty considerably.

I got a 15 miles an hour over the limit and they raised prices ~$30 a month. No other violations and I'm a 22 year old guy with 4 cars.

>my penis makes me a terrible driver and I'll hit everything on the road because testosterone.

>>13899046
you best fix it yourself then. or just pay the shop out of your pocket.
