Assetto Corsa w / GoPro- Grass Roots Drifting down the Touge project
Okay, so it will now Sá thread on cars that are difficult to work, we've all been there, and I like to complain as much as anyone, but it is easy for a bunch of gearheads to meet and to share war stories about how they had to remove the sunroof to replace the alternator in a car last cry.
I want to hear on modern cars that are easy to work I want to hear repair experience you left hire engineers who designed the car I want to hear about a time when you crawled under a car and angels sang someone has served a glass of chardonnay, and you dropped front axle using a single key without grease under your fingernails.
In the other thread, posters suggested BMW and Subarus Any support for these or other suggestions Let s keep the list limited to the average person lead cars every day, for example, not more than 10 years GB.
10, 13 and 17mm keys 10, 13 and 17mm metric allen wrench socket set screwdriver hammers.
I changed repeatedly and in no particular order.
Mechanical clutch, axles, springs, struts improved shocks Konis, exhaust downpipe went to Digifant dual downpipe for more power, but never really felt a difference, the seal of the valve cover several occasions, the timing belt, a compressor C, front attachment.
Interior front seats swapped in Recaros, comprehensive dashboard.
Body wing doors all four bumpers, taillights.
As you can see, there are still 13 when I built the car was pretty hammered But it was fun to work and even more fun to drive.
1987 Ford Thunderbird Turbocoupe great car to work on everything is easy to access, exchange and fast timing belts can be on the side of the road with 5 tools of the oil pan can be detached and replaced without removing the pistons 4 engine work head takes all of 3 hours once you've done it once, even for first timers its maximum 6 all designed with a feeler gauge and a few nickels can implement the alternator axle geometry valves, water pump, power steering pump and rack reciprocating compressor, all easy to do with cheap hand tools.
The downside of this kind of thing is easy to do repeatedly because of his stupid Ford failure.
My TC is 12 seconds unproven car, and God knows that I love, will never sell it, and may very well be buried in, but DAMN is a selling point.
72SuperBrian wrote all VW built before 1993 Vanagons excepted.
I would be inclined to agree but say a 4-cylinder chassis built before 1999.
My 97 2 0 Jetta was a breeze to work, simplified fuel injection with the advent of Monotronic, while the mechanicals were fairly simple.
This has never been as clear as when I traded for a 16V Scirocco is there a CIS assistant in the house, the nonesense they started dabbling with the advent of MKIV s and beyond that I often see in my shop.
I would say the metro geo 3cyl is about as easy as it gets to work on There's tons of room in the engine bay and you can lift the engine or tranny without a lift without much effort they There are also very simple aren t much mystery mailboxes south My Miata is great to work too as it is the first car I had no rust there is such a joy to delete all the suspension components with just key hand and no cheater pipes, torches, easy outings, etc.
Cars that are easy to work on the forum Grassroots Motorsports, cars, easy work.
