Hello I intend to add a mustang and want to lower it of course! What kind of coilover suspension would you recommend? What else do I have to consider for the conversion? Adjustable panhard rod? Thank you!!

Hello, since Takata now also has the airbags of various Ford US models in the Recall, I did some research and came up with the following: Under the following Ford US page can be checked if a vehicle is affected by a Recall:Field Service Actions I have a question for the species in our forum, who is responsible for my US Mustang, for example? The vehicle comes from a large Munich importer, but from 2011. Does someone know who to contact/must? Must Is there anything you can do here?

My Cadillac CTS 2008 doesn’t start. Very strange behavior! You start the car, it spins, starts, runs and goes out again. It’s not on the battery, it’s brand new and charged. Gas pump runs too. It’s also not on the immobilizer. It’s also on the gas system. But it can’t be on it or? I had the problems when it was so cold. Then I closed the battery for an hour. When it got warmer it went again 2-3 weeks without problems. Now the cold is not possible again. But if it has something to do with the cold, I don’t know… at least it’s not on the battery! It’s new and charged and it can’t even be done with bridging. Does anyone still have an idea what I can check? I am grateful for every advice and tip! 🙂 Merci

Hello I am Sven from the north of Germany. Ride for a few years Harley, preferably Shovelhead and have taken over 2 weeks ago a separation child. Had a couple of years ago already a US car, a Dodge Ram 3500 with 5.9 liter Cummins. Now it has become an 89zig Caprice stationwagon. Runs, brakes looks wild and makes good sound. Be sure to come soon questions, because a few trifles have to be made. Greeting Sven

Hello everyone, I bought me a nice 1968 Chrysler New Yorker with LPG system. The Dutch salesman also knew about it so well, I don’t have printed instructions, on the net I don’t find the right one, therefore I hope that someone can give me tips on the correct operation. Short to me, 55 years, from the car area, but with gas so far nothing on the hat. I just want to say that I know how a carburettor works and what the Venturi effect is… The basic function of the gas system is clear to me so far, only with the correct operation haperts, since I never had a gas car. In the interior I have the control panel, see photo. Left gas, right petrol. I suspect that each electric valve unlocks the gas or gasoline supply. In MIttelstellung probably both closed. In addition I have a retrofitted train, which I have to pull when I drive with gas (or was it vice versa?) I make the days carburettor r I don’t know whether I can/should start directly with gas or first with petrol and only then, when warm drives, so that evaporators are heated, can switch to gas (according to the Dutch I could drive with gas) In Youtube videos I saw that you should drive from petrol to gas first carburettor empty before switching to gas. But that would mean n that engine runs out and you have to restart, and that during the ride ? Or do I have thinking errors in there ? How is the exact procedure when switching off on gas and unconverted when switching back on petrol ? Does someone know good links, whether text or video, where that is well explained ? ( unfortunately found nothing suitable) Then another question, does the tank have an automatic filling stop at 80% ? On the control panel, the green scale, is this a kind of tank clock for the gas tank ? Is there on the rig Is there anything else I need to consider, especially in terms of security? I really thank you for replies Best regards Gerd

Hello everyone, have recently got a 68 Chrylser Newyorker 4-door in half original condition. Unfortunately, the car hangs a bit down in the back, probably feathers lame or because of the gas tank in the trunk. I’m not quite sure now, if it may have the correct height at the back and is only too high at the front. I saw that on the front axle a lot of rubbers were changed, maybe they set the height wrong. Can someone call me the correct height and how or where do I measure it? I could put a little deeper on the front over the preloading of the torso rods, but that would change the fall of the wheels, or am I wrong? Could I possibly add two air spring bellows on the rear axle? If yes, does anyone know a good source of supply or accurate models? Thanks for an answer and greetings Gerd

Hi, since there is a possibility to get my Chevy C10 back from the workshop, I want to look slowly for an alternative. It is still planned that a friend with a suitable trailer will bring the car to me (about 5km). However, the trailer is only sporadically available and an alternative is not given here. The only trailer rental here has only one with 1.95m width, too narrow for the pickup. How wide are car transporters in general? with its slightly over 2m track width on every transporter? I would like to drive him just here, but without Tüv there are no short-term signs anymore. I would like to thank the penners “the with their rolling scrap piles have provided for this tightening Greetings Chris PS. Before you ask, no the workshop has no red signs.

Dear Community, After almost 10 years of Porsche I would like to switch to a V8 which allows me a puristic driving experience. It is to become a Factory Five Cobra. The so-called replicas are personally difficult to estimate in terms of price and technical. Especially with regard to the price I am unsure what such a car is really worth. There are not so many to evaluate and compare it… Through some contacts I have received the following offer: 1. Factory Five Repl. BJ1965 2. Running The vehicle was completely restored in Germany three years ago 4. H-mark 6. Price: 55.000€ The vehicle is in good technical condition and the body has a very good gap. The car looks good from the outside and inside. I have the following questions: 1. Do I have to pay attention to something special with the car? 2. What is the price stability? Even if it is a replica.. 3. Is the price OK? I have been talking to some people, but I would like to I want to use the width here to evaluate the car from distance a little. VG Gregor

After engine damage, the complete engine V8/Hubraum 7000, revised, i.e. piston, carburetor (precious rock) new, distributor new) and everything that belongs to it. The workshop said that I had to drive in the engine 1000km, then you can go to the fine adjustment = carburetor. Got now 800km down, but the initial problem is still there: jumps very bad (in cold condition) , goes out again, has to be brought with a lot of gas to run. After that restless engine run, vehicle shakes. With a lot of gassing and poking, it then runs quietly. Start in a warm state no problem. At speeds up to 50km/h Ruckeln, then everything is fine, runs well. Has it cost me almost a five-digit sum, for that I expect from what. Stimt the statement with the 1000km? Who can give me a tip? – Thank you in advance.

Hello, about everything you read about the out of Corvette and Camaro.Camaro from in EU Does anyone know if this also applies to importers? Has anyone heard about the other brands? Supposedly there will be no new jeep with V8. Greeting Marcus
