      I haven’t had a car project really screw me over on time/money, but it reminds me of my house I bought 2 years ago. Estimated $20k for renovations and it turned into a nightmare. $35k later it was finally finished 6 months after estimated completion dates.

        I wish I had one of these nice junkyards in my area. We have a few yards in the Detroit area. You work in the mud if it has rained in the past day, some of the cars are borderline wobbly/unsafe to get under, and there are no computers/inventory systems. You just have to go there and search. Some of the cars even have VIN’s missing which makes is wonder what happened to them. It all sounds terrible, but I go there for the prices. Extremely cheap parts -most things are a few dollars. I pulled a transmission last summer and paid $75.

          Does Eric bring his family to the event? I know he talks about spending time with them pretty often when he goes on or comes back from vacation.

              You’re right; the metal is just discolored from the heat. If you’re still considered about it Auto-RX will remove most of that over time. I’ve used it before and it cleans the engine quite well.

                  The needle could be stuck inside the gauge cluster. Remove the speedometer and see if the needle freely moves. I had a stuck tachometer on my Saturn and all I had to do was pull the tachometer needle out slightly so it would “sweep” so to speak from 0k rev’s to redline without problem.

                      How old is the car? Does the steering seem tight? The rack and pinion could be loose.

                          My engine is turbocharged. Will this test still work or would I have to remove the o2 sensor like you were talking about?
