I'm going to assume the "lol" is because the RX7 was your least reliable. I knew multiple people with them in the 90's and they spent more time up on blocks than on the road!
My truck sequence went (multiple 70-80's) 1981-1991-2004
The 91 was by far the least reliable and the second most...
This is the primary truth. There may be a few companies that spent the engineering hours necessary to schedule failure, but the truth is that the more complex the system, the harder that is, and most engineering teams are not smart enough to plan a scheduled failure well enough to have the...
A lot of people on here seem to believe higher octane messes up their firing. I won't start that fight again, but it's not hard to find the correct info on that. (hint: not on forums).
On the rare occasion I'm driving lightly, mine sometimes feels like it tripped over it's own gears and I have...
People were talking about "planned obsolescence" of appliances and electronics 25 years ago when I got the fridge, stove, washer, drier, and TV that I still use.
I would guess that the price you paid was to include replacements for all the failures they expect. Get the replacement you already paid for, then make your decision if you want to go a different way and sell these.
I want a flush set, but I can't bring myself to pay the price, especially with...
A guy was bragging to me about how he spent $25K and waited 2 years on the 500HP engine in his "race" truck.
He frowned at me when I told him my wife's car has 525 and a factory warranty, and I spent less than $5K on my "race" car.
Reading this is the first time I've understood the people arguing. Some people are talking free diameter and others are talking loaded height! Thank you.
I just think of free diameter, and adding two inches should add two inches either way. Roughly anyway, as long as you're using the real...
I saw plenty of people claiming they couldn't tell the cheapies from OEM. I imagine corrosion would be the difference in time, but I run a cover too.
If all else fails, a cheap tap would work. It's not cutting steel. Or we regularly make a thread cleaner with a normal bolt with a notch...
