Finally...

SurfinSilly · 08-07-2001, 01:27 PM

Got the old 5000 turbo back. After 3 months from the purchase, I can finally drive it and deem it safe and reliable. Things to do... install relays for the headlights so I dont get a fire, change the tires, and look for some window switches (anyone got any???)
These cars are so much fun to drive... I dont care if its 14-15 years old, it feels like a new car to me everytime. Especially with the alphine system punching notes into my back, Im ready for my journey's to far other worlds...
"...annihilating all thats made
to a green thought in a green shade"

I know I know.. shut up, your overkilling it...

Never had problems with headlights on the 5K (definitely a prob on UrQ). If rad fan bearings lock up then the car usually burns. You can turn off the headlights, you can't turn off the rad. fan. Just needs a fusible link installed.

Of course, I have never done it. Luckily when the bearings went in mine it only locked up for half a second and then started spinning again. Dodged the bullet on that one!
