Author Topic: Ethan's New Car!  (Read 3880 times)

Considering the amazing price and it's near perfect condition, it's still a great buy. I agree, seems nice.

This weekend I'm going to sort a few things out.
We paid $170 to get it checked out at the most brown town testing station, and the only faults were:
1 tyre is on the verge of being illegal. Whats illegal about it?
Needs oil change in near future. (easy to do, I have a friend with a garage pit) Easy stuff.
Sunroof doesn't slide back. (could be a simple fix) The motor (I forget the exact name) that pulls it back might be shot. That happened in my dads car with his door window.
Needs a little bit more coolant in the radiator. (told you they were over the top) Easy stuff.
A tiny bit of fraying on the seatbelts. Pointless stuff to ignore lol.
Air conditioning doesn't work. (the AC unit is in the way if I want to turbo it in the future anyway lol) That can be one of two things. It may just need to have the freon recharged which costs like under $100 tops. But if the entire A/C system is broken that can be quite an expensive repair.

Man my moms ford van has a spinning rim on one of it's back tires that half way works yea take that.

On Topic: Nice car Ethan I dont like it much because its a ford and im a chevy guy my dad had a 91 chevy cheyanne that outran a newer ford f150 that was staying behind us so no cops seen the expired tags they had to push the truck onwards to keep up also my dads truck was sitting for almost two years and still worked the ford had to be repaired 20 times over

I wouldn't call that "really really fast", but it's decent.
For what it is. It's absolutely crazy for a 2.5L V6.

A friend helped me test it, he was only just able to keep up, in his tuned RB30E skyline (3L straight 6).

When I get my car im going to end up street racing my best friend lol

In reply to the tire question:
Front Left tire has 1.5mm tread (legal minimum is 1.5mm), and is completely bald on the outside edge. See:

Ohhh yeah that will do it. Although to be honest I never knew that was illegal. I know it won't pass inspection and thats its extremely dangerous but I never knew that was illegal.

If I get pulled up, I'll get fined.

Also, side note: I can't get insurance for this, apparently it's too powerful for me lol.

My mom has a ford van with a spinning rim.

My dads 91 Chevy Cheyane outran a ford 150

Good thing it isn't a Dodge.

i've never ever had any good experiences with a ford

but good luck, hopefully you wont get a rusty hole in the floor like the escorts get

Does it have a V6 engine?

Ha
I remember when I was 5, my mother had an old 1981 Datsun Sunny.
It ended up with a big hole in the passenger floor like that.

Does it have a V6 engine?
I have said 2 times that it is a "2.5L KL-DE V6 engine producing ~180 to ~200HP"
