That's all that matters, even if you blind the rest of us on the road.

if I had a muscle car I'd want to do a neon color like that (Or Chevy's Krypton Green)

I feel like when I'm done with my car someday it's going to split this thread in half. Half will love it, half will probably hate it. But I'll be happy.

i assume it's getting towed/trailered to the shop? also neat tire caps.

i actually wished you went with a galaxy style wrap tbh.

Probably restore it to a dark black. I don't like them body matched really

really? to me i'd actually at least body match the door trim because black door trim on colored doors kinda spells cheap to me.

Depends. Probably just a new one. Want to get this back on the road as fast as possible. But someday it will be a fully built motor

I really like the old school 2 tone bumpers cars had. This isn't the same exactly, but I still like it a lot.

 

Yeah, same trailer that brought the parts car home

 

May still do the galaxy headliner someday

i say either galaxy headliner or alcantara headliner, if it's not cost prohibitive.

To be fair we already have terry for that

Not a big alcantara fan really. Especially not on a 18 year old wagon personally

How the hell is Chevy going to make folding rear seats an option on a full size family sedan and not standard equipment?

 

Former rental car problems

So. When exactly is a "break in" oil change needed when it comes to a new engine? Of course it wouldn't be needed on a factory engine. But what requires the break in change? Cams? Pistons? Both? Just kinda wondering

[RevoltTrain]

RWD Saab 9-5 Drift Car Project

 

(Mustang rear end, B235R powered, RX8 wing) This thing is what dreams are made of

500 miles. Its usually rings that require a break in period.

I've heard from 500 to 1000 miles on a fresh build. But never heard what part exactly of a fresh build requires the oil change. Will need to keep that in mind though.

 

Is it recommended to do mostly highway miles? City miles? Does it matter? I know you of course shouldn't beat on a fresh engine and probably keep it under 3K RPM

Do either of y'all know how to change the waste-gate stepping on an EcoBoost?

Nope. Probably controlled by the ECU, no?

I haven't the slightest idea. But I know it irritates the absolute hell out of me. What I have to wonder is if the fuel tables are tied to waste-gate stepped tables. If they are that might be a bitch because I want it to be more progressive than what it currently is.

IIRC it's ECU related. So a stage 1 tune may be your only friend

Break in procedures can be debated forever. Theres no "true" method. Me personally, the only thing I change from my normal driving is varying RPM. If you keep a constant RPM the rings will not seat properly. I don't really abide by the whole "avoiding excessive RPM" thing. A properly built engine should be good to go after the first drive and cool down cycle.

They're ECU controlled electronic actuators iirc.

Its likely aggressive to prevent detonation because of direct injection.

Getting it tuned is probably the only way to "fix" it.

It really depends on the automaker, but I believe many will recommend taking it easy the first few thousand miles, and avoid long constant RPM trips... so basically don't road trip across the US with a brand new car.  This was for Honda I believe.  

 

Basically just do your usual short commute, though I doubt too much would happen either way.
