No one seems to complain about the VW Golf/GT-I looking basically the same since 1974. And the Porsche 911 and it's descendents since 1966 (I mean, the profiles are nearly identical). Based on that,...

Just got through watching the first edition of this show. They do nice work, resto modding a 240Z with nicer wheels, and triple side draft Weber carbs. Also nice interior mods with updated gauges,...

I have to agree. Maybe the seat in my '12 Touring/Sport is a bit of an upgrade over a base, but I find it quite comfortable. I'm 67 and 5'10", 175lbs, and it fits like a comfortable glove. I'm sure...

Don't know about the SHO, but Honda's 1966 600s sports car had chain drive rear wheels. Of course they were primarily a motorcycle producer up to that point.

I think hybrid drive trains are just a...

As you say, they'll figure it out. Right now, with just a few EV models on the market, one is already getting over 300 miles per charge. Tesla must be confident because they are about to produce an...

Seems like the Nissan Skyline series should be on the muscle car list too. They didn't import them to the US back then (produced up to about 2002 I believe) but they had up to 500hp. They are...

Porsche 916, air cooled, more power, rare, a friend of mine at work has one.
Edit: sorry, meant to say 914-6. Apparently the 916 never made production but was very similar.

It definitely doesn't sound right to me. Almost sounds like it could be a leak at the exhaust or intake manifold, or maybe in the EGR valve system.

Thanks for that link. Very informational history on the Z. I can say I drove a co-workers 1970 240Z back in 1974 and this brought back good memories.

From what I've ever seen, if you have paper filters, they should be dry. Oily paper filters could indicate a sticking or clogged PCV valve. Oiled filters are fabric and wire mesh. Check out some of...
