Re: Carlisle 2020
I think this will be a day-of decision for me, literally. Honestly, the showfield doesn't worry me at all. I expect a lot of people to skip this year entirely. Theoretically, that should make social distancing easier. It's the hotel that skeeves me out. It's laughable to think that budget hotels out...

Re: Kumho Ecsta 4x size in oem rims 05 sxt
Just to throw it out there, I ran the exact tire in question: Kumho Ecsta 4X 205/55R15 on my Neon for years and loved it. The tread design will provide you the extra grip more than the width will. I'm currently running the same tire in a 16" size on a different car. You're not going to get 50k miles...

Harrisburg West? Anybody?
Also, for me personally, I never had a problem with Motel 6. If we end up back there, I'm good with that.

All of the major harness connectors on my Mazdas (door-to-body, ECU, body controller aka "PJB") actually say Lear right on them.occasional demons wrote: ↑Wed Jan 29, 2020 7:35 am...and possibly? the wiring, is made by Lear Corporation.

Re: Carlisle 2020
I registered in December to get the discount. Just need to cross my fingers now.
I wonder how club participation is going to work (ie. what club name are we all registering under). I already registered with 2GN.org, but I'd imagine I've got several months to change it.

Re: Rebuilding a Cylinder head
This style locks in place, so you don't have to hold the spring tension while trying to get the locks in place. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/B0YAAOSwt7pXLOlF/s-l300.jpg You can find them for under $50. This style has worked well for me in the past. There's a window on the spring side so you can pl...

My college roommate bought basically the same car brand new: 2004 R/T, 3.0L manual, lots of options. Comfortable, nice-looking, reasonably quick, and reliable as anything.

Re: Don't rely on Gates for timing components...
Interesting read. When I did my last timing belt, I used a Gates belt, Litens tensioner, and Mopar water pump. I was pissed because every aftermarket water pump comes with the gasket. Not the Mopar! I didn't find that out until I was in an inconvenient spot with the job, but oh well. The job was don...

Re: 2003 SRT DD
By the time I got rid of my Neon, I had replaced 3 of the 4 wheel bearings. Shockingly, the driver's front was the only original one left. With all the exit ramp jackassery that car saw in my ownership, I can't believe that's the one still good at ~220k miles. If you end up replacing a front wheel b...

Dooo eeet. Those sway bars you were talking about would do you well with a setup like that.
Damn, if my old steelies weren't so rusty, that would have given you the wheels you needed.

Damn Johnny. That’s a long time to have a car around. If I didn’t have such a huge fleet I’d be interested in it. At 37 years old, that's over 1/3 of my entire life.

Possibly. The original plan was to donate it since it's essentially worthless.

Re: Weird valve rattle?
OEM ignition coil = 40kV
MSD coil = 36kV
If you just like the look of the red, spray paint the stocker. And as Bill already suggested, try that as your first step in diagnosing the rattle.
