  • Question regarding the purchase/restoration of a US-Classics

    Hi guys, first of all, I found the page here about google. you seem to know each other. therefore I wanted to ask you a few questions. my brother and I would like to buy us a us-muscle car for restoration. we have a garage for restoration as well as tools. my uncle is kfz-master who would do the welding and motor work for us and also knows a paintr who would make us cheap. we can get up to ~3000 euro for the purchase we don’t know at all where you get such a car from. everywhere at mobile.de etc. the carts are already restored. at ebay I find the cars very expensive. we are also ready to invest a lot of time in the car i.e., completely dismantle and grind off the whole car body. so we would like to have a real muscle car like mustang, gto, charger, chevelle or something like that. a cabrio like an impala or a fat street cruiser like e.g. a beautiful lincoln mark or so would be OK. we know that we will certainly not get a mustang with the budget but you know now about what we imagined. so the 3000 are only expected for purchase, we could of course apply something for materials and spare parts monthly, which like I heard are very expensive and difficult to get. therefore it would be nice if most parts were available. maybe there are similar but cheaper ones. tos?! and especially where is there? I know that there are many such cars in holland and we live just 100m from the border away so if you know the address that would be great. so my uncle knows something about muscle cars and would support us in buying and restoring, so that we don’t buy the cat in the bag. he just doesn’t know where to buy the dinger cheaply. so if it’s with the kale da garnix to make it says better gle i :/ I cordially ask for constructive proposals and under circumstances also direct vehicle offers. greetings mo

  • Pontiac Firebird Ruckle back in fourth gear!

    Hi guys, I have the following problem: If I drive about 70-90Km/h in the 4th gear I have quite a jerking and this is annoying when driving. But as soon as I drive faster or the accelerator pedal goes through a little bit more and the car still leaves in the 4th gear the jerking is gone. And it is also only in the 4th gear. I had the problem about 1 month ago before. However, there was also the fact that if I have passed through the accelerator meter the jerking was worse. The following parts are replaced: Automatic transmission filter + oil, 6 spark plugs, distributor cap and distributor finger. As I said: I replaced the parts and it was absolutely quiet for about 1 month. Does the Firebird have anything else in the direction of problems? I suspect that the problem comes from the direction of ignition. Can it also be the reverberator? Thanks for your answers!

  • My poor bloke…

    Today something bad happened to me… when I wanted to go to a shop after the party, one came from the left onto the main road and hit me and my poor scooter… I didn’t happen much for luck, but the scooter got a bit more violent. Under the other it has both socius footrests cracked off and he is ugly scratched. besides that it bent the steering rod and bent the right brake lever… which now worries me a little ma I don’t suppose my dowry cutter is now completely damaged… Greetings Thierry

  • Roller Purchase – CPI/Kreidler/Keeway/Kymco?

    Hello, After researching and reading for quite a long time I have arrived at a point where I only turn in circles =( Originally I wanted to buy a used brand scooter, but these are hard to find in my proper environment. So it should become a cheaper, but good (!) new scooter. Ohso, I don’t intend to do the scooter somehow and will drive every day about 10km, important to me is basically the reliability, not constantly on I’ve been looking at the following: CPI Formula R/Aragon (1300 or 1500€) Kreidler RMC-G (1500€) Keeway RY-8 (1300€) Or a Kymco, because of the good price-performance ratio.. I know from other threads here that the Kymco is actually the best choice, but I’d rather have a 2T, just because of the sound In addition, for example, the agility doesn’t soo and the Super 8 is again too expensive. 1500€ Now I have the problem that I hear something different from all sides. My CPI/Kreidler-Haendler says, of course, the Kreidler are top (whereby he admitted that he had 2, which were really problematic: Florett and Flory – but how should I know that the RMC-G is better?!). This Haendler advised me from Keeway (shown the CPIs as outdated, sounded plausible…). My Keeway-Haendler says, CPI and his There are no scooters. Of course, they all want to sell something… Then I had 2 used Piaggios to choose from – a TPH from 2001, 15,000 km, engine completely overhauled, for 900 €, however my Ma and I drove the and we were not really satisfied. We both have no experience with scooters, but for our understanding – related to a car – the 2nd gear would be missing. So it accelerates slowly and then goes off completely, there was no one. The 2nd would be a Piaggio Fly (also 4T, unfortunately) , all I know about it so far is that it is 1 or 2 years old, has little down and should cost about 1000 €. Since I have not dealt with 4T rollers so far I can not say how much worse than 2strokes that are really and above all do not affect whether this really would kill me. Hmm, which of all would be the best (I hope you can get from “good” re Thanks for reading =) Would be great if someone could help me further here, I’m really desperate. Thank you, Sahny

  • 1.4 75hp runs on 3 zyls.

    Hello, a friend of mine has a 96 Escort with 1.4L petrol. It runs sporadically only on 3 cylinders, especially when it is warm. A spark plug is black or badly worn, all the others are ok. Can one somehow read a fault memory with the Escort? I drive a 2001 VW Lupo and own the corresponding ODB interface, the question is only whether this is at all standardized, or only works with VW engines. Or else there are any typical errors with the EDB I had the same problem with the Lupo, because it was the ignition cables. Is that also known with the Escort? Is it a bit stupid, because you can’t see the effects directly without OBD, for example, if you exchange 2 cables with each other. Do you have an idea?

  • Performance holes and jerks

    Hey guys, so I’ve been having a big problem with my Ford Escort mk7 1.6 90Ps for two months now! So easy running in empty speed is always going up and down! Then being driving heavy power loss and when driving on the highway the power just goes down to felt 50%! In addition, sometimes the car jerks from 1 to 3 speed extremely doll as if you were constantly giving full throttle and then a full throttle. So far I have used new spark plugs and nd new spark plug cable as well as a new air filter car is running much better but the performance holes are still there as well as that when starting no power is there when the car is started for the first time. Ruckeln did not appear again until now but only tested it for two days. already in advance thanks for the help

  • funny sounds from ́m gear belongs to: 91er essi 1.6er efi 105ps cabrio switch

    Moinsen ,I took a funny rappel ́n out of the gearbox today at my 1.6l Cabrio Essi bj91 5-speed switch 77/105ps? ! 1.if I hit the clutch is not to be heard. 2.if I drive slowly in the 4th or 5th also not to hear. 3.if I drive slowly in the 1st or 2nd then I hear a rappel ́n out of the gearbox? ! 4.if I let it roll out slowly with 1st or 2nd gear then you can hear that too . …no idea what that should be , never heard such a thing. I had a a chsmanschette made new on the wheel side and seen that my gearbox was a bit oily from below, I just took a flap and wiped it away. …possibly comes the noise of too little oil ? or can it be the backstock? but funny is that it is usually heard when rolling out in the 1st or 2nd possible also 3. course !? running power 05678 105tkm or 205tkm ??? maybe someone had similar noises and can say what it is.
