Maybe a battery terminal falls off or a hose clamp needs to be tightened. Just got me thinking about the situation.

coolant hose/hose clamp rates pretty high,,,beings you specified "modern car" i can't say hydraulic lines (unless for PS or some other cooler) brake drums on rear of large firetruck,large tires...like 14.00R24 or 17.5R25 Grader tires,fan belts,fuel filters/lines,rubber tracks installing back on mini Ex.....etc
Mostly thing's made of Rubber :icon17:(tires,hoses,belts)
and don't forget about the loose nut behind the steering wheel :rofl2:

jchammond 10-24-2018 08:43 PM

I be going to bed soon,,,after a few early wake-up's-hopefully an 8 or 9 will follow.
Already thinking of taking another trip soon...:tup:

BoneZ 10-24-2018 09:10 PM

I AGREE. IVE REPLACED BELTS, HOSES, ALTERNATORS, STARTERS, PULLEYS, COMPRESSORS ETC. ALL I WOULD HAVE TO DO IS GO GET THE PART AND THEN COME BACK TO INSTALL IT OR HAVE SOMEONE BRING IT TO ME. ID RATHER HAVE THEM AND NOT NEED THEM, THAN NEED THEM AND NOT HAVE THEM. :happydance:

shadow85 trying to get traction with his new turbo setup- boost hits and he goes sideways, thinks its car or tire problem. Beat him to death trying to make him understand feathering the throttle but he wont listen to anyone ect. ect. Nothing specific, just seems like no one listens to helpful advice and they want to continue down the path of misery.

old guy 10-24-2018 09:36 PM

For road trips I carry very little, but a few basics, screw drivers, hammer, vice grips, gorilla tape ,my 12v compressor tire plugs & glue & some super glue!
Ya just never known

Since the day of its conception, I have always considered it to have a horrid UI.
That among other things.

Isn't that what he did the first time? I just assumed he had a shop doing the work after he blew up his first engine.

Morning folks! I noticed a knocking sound when I was creeping in reverse into my garage. I know I have heat shield rattling, but this was a deeper pitch sound, no force on the gas pedal. I dont hear it when Im in Drive. Anyone ran into this before?

Rusty 10-25-2018 08:02 AM

Going to make the donuts repZ. :tiphat:

What, that doesn't sound like a great running car to you?? In all seriousness, I can't decide whether to give him credit for his lofty goals and pushing the boundaries of the supercharger, or just to shake my head at his posts.
