Well if I wasn't behind schedule before I certainly am now. Got the flu that knocked me out for a week right after this exchange, which...
How so? The only thing I would consider to be urgent is the check engine light, which appears to have been taped over in the past based on the...
Ha - wondered if anyone remembered me. I'm a big time "doing summer stuff in summer" kind of guy (landscaping/gardening, golfing, building stuff...
That’s a bargain for an M in such a killer color combo with the mileage. That was a $100k car before the pandemic, no sweat.
I'm a little delinquent on it for sure. Haven't started taking it apart just yet, so it's been pretty quiet so far for me. Drive the car whenever...
Yeah I have a few sets of pullers, but always prefer to know where the locking tabs are before I have a broken one sitting in my hand.
Yup, first Italian car. I always knew there was gonna be an adjustment, so just trying to figure out some of those nuances before I tear the car...
Good advice. I haven't dug into how the interior of this car is put together (e.g., bolts, vs plastic perimeter clips and locking tabs, vs...
Thanks for the helpful and unusually on-topic response. Breaking something that is NLA is my biggest fear - not being an "actual mechanic" instead...
That’s a very good point - and yeah I needed to be reminded.
I could have a philosophical discussion on this all day because there's a lot I agree with and a lot I don't. I had a VSS error getting thrown on...
Oh I get the “tech vs mechanic” theory independent of whether I agree with the approach - I mean I do agree it’s probably overwrought to have 15...
Ha. Anything that makes the car go or stop I'll be leaving to the pros. Fortunately there's nothing on the car rising to imminent need - one or...
So, I'll preface by saying, I don't mean "how do I use a wrench?". I'm used to working on japanese cars with robust workshop/FSM's. Like my Lexus...
I've only taken my 456 out a handful of times since I got it, but the induction feel of a V12 when you get on the gas simply cannot be replicated...
Offer the guy $1000 to accompany you to scan only section L. I’d kick in $100 for that
I NEVER see 456’s in the wild so I was pleased when you were taking exit 61 so I could wave you down on the off ramp. I’m sure you were pleased it...
Totally missed the notification on this. Carlo at Bobileff has been great with progress stuff. He knew it was my first fcar so gave me the full...
How does one even HAVE a pristine Yugo. Seems impossible, least of all because I figure the state would have repossessed them for a public museum....
Overheating would be an instant pass for me. I would not want to deck a fairly high compression V12. I would like plan B even less. I believe they...
