whitewalls are coming, have already taken off the extra chrome on the bumpers

by mooneyes, do you mean the flat faced steel wheels or the steels with chrome centre caps?

[coconutt]

Sup blokes.

Time to take a massive dump.

[P78]

Bummer. Any word on the compression test? Leakdown test? Might be some poorly sealing valves.

Steel wheels with chrome smoothie covers for sure.

I would just leave it alone. The 500's are such "bubbly" little cars that it's difficult to make them look "cool". Can't say I'm a huge fan.

Eh, mix is okay P. This is more what I like.

yeah that bumper bar came off right away - she's got steels with chrome centres, just need a re-paint, the centres are held on with a single nut in the middle thats driving me mad.

Haven't taken it for a test yet, but it ran FINE this morning through the lanes, then had a hissy fit on the way back. Got it going somewhere Monday so I hope they can do the test quick enough to sort whatever it is before the 15th. I tested the coil packs for arcing and for water getting under them/between the packs and the plugs.. nothing. Bone dry, though there are water marks.

I can say I despise the modern ones, but the classics are just hilarious - they're half the width of a lane of traffic here, and mine is left hand drive and doesn't go above 55mph, so its a terrifying experience. Need a little excitement in your life? rush hour in a classic fiat.

edit: here's the little fecker

Truth. Doesn't help that my taste in music is all over the place.

That's frustrating. I still stand by my thought of a vacuum leak, usually happens when a car is up to temp. The 330Ci did that when I first got it- ran fine when cold, but like ass when it was warm. Turned out the intake book was haggered and the MAF sensor was dirty as hell.

I have all the excitement I need driving an American land barge with too much power, narrow tires, and so-so brakes.

[oHSo EuRo]

Sad part is, I really could drift in the space if I wanted to. lol

Some paint a few more lights and obviously work bench's and a lift at some point.

Send me a land bargeeeeeee

The MAF sensor is on the list of things to check, and the previous owner has already sent me a new one, so when it stops raining again I'll be out frowning at it.

I mean, the bay is disgusting; http://i.imgur.com/HigI92k.jpg
