    Who is using r12? Who is using R134a?

    I use r12 and it blows at 40-44F in the hot Florida Summer at idle. When you get cruising it can creep below 40F. Luckily my system only needed a charge but it took me quite some time to find a ac shop that still reclaimed r12. I asked about the 134 conversion. The ac guy looked at my...

    Crazy Crazy Crazy - Check out what's going on in Florida

    I hope I am wrong and I admire that the community is helping and standing behind the shop owners. Neighbors helping Neighbors. Celica boy should be punished. Still, there all all kinds people out there. It can't hurt to be a little skeptical.

    Coolant forced out of Radiator

    That sounds way to fast to me. Down here in FL with the ambient morning temp at 85F. When I start the car in the morning I have to make myself sit and wait to bring it up to temp. No way does the needle start to move at 30 seconds.

    Question about a plugged up Line

    See my accordion hose. Count them 1,2,3 hoses. Your missing hose and connector circled in red. Wow what a rig. Good luck I'm sure you will run into more surprises. Sucking unfiltered air should be rewritten as "sucking un-metered air" Sucking that un-metered air will make you car run lean...

    Question about torque wrench use.

    Info from Wiki on torque wrenches types. I always thought the needle beam types were the least accurate. Guess I was wrong. Beam needle types seem to be very accurate and durable but are subject to greater user error when reading the needle especially at the funky angles for viewing in...

    Question about torque wrench use.

    I have a 1/2 inch beam (needle) torque wrench that I use for lugnuts and non critical parts. Every time I use it I wonder how accurate I really am. In my hands there seems to a lot of room for error.

    Question about torque wrench use.

    Ok so in summary..... High grade straight extensions with no flex joints result in very little error. More importantly if using the extension on a part with several bolts use the same extension for example a Head. Using a u-joint or a wobble can result in large errors due to the angle of force...

    the ford probe guy is changing to a yota guy

    My wife and I owned a ford probe. It didn't matter that it was a mazda product. It sucked. We traded it in the day before the 5 year warranty ran out. If you can keep a Probe running you shouldn't have any problems with the mk3.
