      The last thing I did to my car was install a tachometer on my dash.

          Inherited a used air compressor which is really great. Going to buy a 3 ton floor jack that has a maximum height of 20″ off a friend of mine who’s moving. Much better than my 2 ton 13.5″ max height jack.

          Also, going to make a trip across the border to HFT to purchase a breaker bar and serpentine belt set.

              Endurance racing like Le Mans. I love the prototype cars and the idea of it all.

                My username illustrates my love for Celtic FC, a soccer club in Scotland. I’m half Irish and Celtic FC was founded by the Irish in Glasgow. I’ve been a supporter for many years.

                    4 hours to do a timing belt/water pump change on an 88 crx seems a bit long to me, but that’s just me, I could be wrong, that may be standard. Defintely agree with looking to do the spark plugs, wires, distributor yourself. That will save you a lot of money.

                      I’m very happy with my 1994 Mazda 323/Familia/Protege, whatever you call it. Bought it for 1300 with 160,000 KM’s on it, gets about 450-500 KM’s a tank of city driving, cheap and easy to work on. You also can’t go wrong with a Toyota Corolla. Last forever, great mileage, and again, cheap and easy to work on.

                        This sounds like a load of shite to me. He bent the valve, didn’t actually repair the head or the problem, and is charging you 2500 and you’re getting the old damaged head back? Rick is right. Either he puts the new head on or go to small claims court.

                                  Well, my mom bought a 1994 Nissan Pathfinder and I was the principle driver, but the first car that I bought with my own money was my 1994 Mazda 323, which I still have. I just bought it a few months ago for $1300. Amazing shape, only 165,000 km’s on it.
