    Roreri—The New Motor One Month Review

    The power loss I experienced is very similar on a different one of my cars. First, I had a bad ground which was swapped out and resolved. Then suddenly it happened again, but slightly different. Turns out that was the APB MAP. Car still stuttered here and there. My guess it was the ECU or a...

    Project Lazarus: From Graveyard to Gen4 Swap ST185

    Somehow my crank pulley separated from the center section. Purchased and replaced with one from GT4-Play. Small fortunes, but have to do it.

    Center Diff

    check fuses, switches, relays. maybe ohm out the wiring if all is well. since that's inside --> under the car, likelihood of one of them going bad is high.

    92 All Trac w/a Shoulder Seat Belt Problem - SSBP

    This is a mechanism in the seatbelt ratchet itself. If pulled with enough force, the design is to stop due to centrifugal motion hitting the "stopping" point AKA accident or rapidly pulling the seatbelt. When spun slowly, it will not spring the point of stopping AKA putting on your seatbelt...

    Minor disaster strikes Night Fury!

    I have my ST185 insured for $25,000 on Hagerty through a third party insurance broker. Not that it helps really, but they accepted the value based on the rarity. Do not settle, especially since it's not your fault. Do whatever it takes to get value for fixing it and try not to total her... it's...

    Minor disaster strikes Night Fury!

    This is OUTRAGEOUS! I'm so MAD for you. Hopefully you get a HUGE payout. This is unacceptable and I'm so upset that these things happens. No drivers license, no passport... somehow still had insurance. People without drivers licenses should NOT be on the road. Period. These are 2-4 ton weapons...

    Super Seized oil filter

    I use one of those 3 jaw oil wrenches that tighten onto the filter the harder you loosen it. It also has a magnet to keep the filter in place. However, if it's stuck it will crumple no matter what you do...

    Buying Left side narrowbody front fender

    Wow, that's terrible. Also, that thing has been bondo'd before. You can see where the old accident is and where they attempted to correct it.

    Project 621; Imported ST185

    As your mechanic said: The fan issues are normally due to the sensor at the bottom of the radiator or the relay. here the the modem numbers on rockauto I've used to replace mine when it stopped working on high temps: https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=39030&cc=1274194&pt=3060...

    Hood Gap 5th Gen swap

    The FMIC should fix any issues with fitment unless the turbo isn't clocked correctly. i was wondering if the alltrac hood fits with the TMIC and small modifications but now we know... mostly
