Re: Stuck O2 Sensor Ideas

Maybe post that up in the "Tools" thread. I've never seen a tool like that. Apparently you call 1-800-callaplumber every time your sinks need repair! Maybe post that up in the "Tools" thread. I've never seen a tool like that. https://sayingimages.com/wp-content/uploads/futurama-...

Re: Stuck O2 Sensor Ideas

Sorry I didn't see this sooner. The split sockets for pulling O2 sensors have never worked worth crap for me. I use a telescoping basin wrench on oxygen sensors - works like a charm every time. The harder you crank on it, the better the jaws bite. Absolutely kicks ass over every other tool I've tri...

Re: 1987 Bertone (aka Fiat) X1/9

Lookin' good! Thanks! I'm interested to see the reaction at the Oddballs & Oddities car show on August 8th. I own one too! Or should I say it was made from one! Damn, I like that green toolbox. It would match perfectly. Just got these texted to me today - getting closer! 6169471101.jpg 61694713...

Nicely done! I would have given up and had it flatbedded to Jake Raby.

Re: Search For a 914

Well, I stand corrected - the wheels are highly regarded in the 914 realm. Apparently, they are "ATS" brand, made in Germany:

Re: Search For a 914

Definitely. Blue was my 3rd choice behind Ravenna green then orange. This one is Laguna Blue, and I also like the Olympic Blue. I'm happy with the color. Maybe someday I'll fall bass ackwards into a Ravenna green car, basically like what happened with this car: pops up at a car show right across th...

Re: Search For a 914

Congrats! Now you can film a Top Gear style challenge to promote your museum featuring this and fiat! I feel that a hooptie fleet showdown is coming soon: 928 vs. 944 vs. E30 cab vs. X1/9 vs. 914 - who's your winner? Nobody! (actually, I'm pretty confident the 944 Turbo would kick everybody else's ...
