what kind of car ?

96 ford escort hatch.

nice car does it still run good?

a little. sadly the engine isnt the original, it droped a valve at 195xxxmiles but i pieced togeather a junk yard engine and its runing good now except for a little oil leak, and hesitation on high rpms. but its a reliable car for the past 4-5 years.

have you tried a thicker oil to help slow the leak and because it is summer?

i was gonna try. i just put in 5w30 or 5w20 full synthetic in. i dont wanna use to thick of an oil cus my lifters will tick.

yeah, what kind of engine does it have ?

it has a 1.9l sohc 4cyl.

i miss 13k km for be like you XD

hehe. i wanna hit 300k but rust has had its toll on some structural parts on the car.

Heck yeah! I'm hoping I can do the same thing with my Focus. Now shoot for 300K!

hehe. urs should. basic maintnace goes along way. hehe. i know my body is to rotted out to last 300k. i switched to full synthetic oil and i can feel the differance. mechanics i talk to say escorts and focuses and some hondas last forever with little problems. except for escorts having a valve seat droping problem like mine did. hehe.

You got that right! I know my car is due for some work, but I can get it all done in the next few weeks. I also only use full synthetic in my car, and will never go back. Hopefully that new engine will hold up for you for a while longer.

hehe. i was skeptic on useing synthetic but now i like it. hehe. the engine has a lil oil leak but runs fine. not bad for an engine from 4 diferent cars. hehe. the only thing wrong is that over high rpms the car will tap out and stall, i blame the o2 sensores or the computer not likeing this engine. hehe

I heard so many companies are switching to full synthetic. I know one of the ones that get work done at my dealership have all of their service trucks done with it. Oh dang really? Huh that is weird.

hehe. yah. i found a saturn 2002 with the ecotech engine for $750 but with 230000 miles on it. i was gonna buy it but the sub frame is rusted on it. i could put another one one but idk how much i could resell it. hehe. i like synthetic oil now. ill never change back. hehe. yah or the fuel pump isnt puting out that much, i had 30-35psi at the fuel rail. idk it stalled out on me last week and while coasting it took awhile to restart and ran crappy untill over night it started up fine and runs fine now.

That sounds cool, rust can be what destroys them sadly. Yeah same here I won't ever put anything less in my Focus. Huh that is strange, I wonder if there might have been something in the tank, or a bit of bad fuel?

yah. the car was gone when i drove by. ill prolly save up for suit ive been wanting to get or dump it in the truck. hehe. it might be, it has the original pump i believe. i use country fair gas or bp. as long as i dont push it i dont care. hehe. as long as it gets me from pennsylvania to ohio its good. im replaceing all the erg, and evap hoses, =idk were they all went= to see if itll help.

That would be great to get a fursuit if you could, I know I'm really looking forward to seeing mine come together. Oh ok, so unless they had bad gas it's probably not that. However all the evap hoses missing could certainly cause problems. Replacing those may be all it takes, hopefully.

hehe. i just found a 04 subaru sprot for 4000. and its a stick. now i want it. hehe. but idk. i cant stick to one car.

Oh nice, and the stick makes it even better. LOL can you afford it? I have a bad habbit of getting attached to things, including my cars.

i have a grand saved up, and working small jobs to add to it. iwas thinking of buying a cheep car do alittle work to it and maybe trade it for the subaru plus a little cash. but idk. i dont wanna get stuck wif the car i wanna trade. yah. i get attached wif most of my cars. i look online every so often to see if i can buy back the ones i sold. i realy want my camaro back. im never gona get rid of my escort ur blazer. im just afraid when i get another car my escort is gonna sit and rust away.

Oh nice, either way you go that will surely help out. Yeah and you already have a few cars too, though if you have the room and could make a profit it could be worth it. Still I'm doing my absolute best to make sure I keep the funds for my fursuit set aside.

hehe. ikeep thinking, if i keep the money and wait till i have a refund check from skool in a few months ill have 2000. but to get a good suit ill have to save up more. im just searching for tires for the escort and im just gonna ride it into the ground or untill my seat falls threw the floor. hehe.

Well you can find fursuit makers that are cheaper than that, I found an amazing artist and I'm really looking forward to see how she does Syro. ^^ That sounds good, I'm probably gonna do the same thing with my Focus, then fix it and keep going. ^^

hehe. i just didnt know if itll cost more by haveing the suit modified to be inflated and afew other things thats on my sona. hehe. i like too many makers to make up my mind. i was looking at a honda ruckus it gets 114mpg. hehe. just to ride around the city.

Oh yeah, I don't think most fursuits could handle being inflated. I have seen it before though so I know it can be done. When you do I totally want to see it though! Holy crap that's epicly good! How old is that?

hehe. im gonna go job searching to day, i want a suit befor next summer. hehe. i wanna skate board in it too. hehe. i believe its a 2012-13 i was looking at. its a little moped. i found older ones online for 1200 and up.

That sounds nice, have any places in mind? Haha It would be epic if you skate in suit, I've only seen a few others do it. Oh you mean a scooter! I think I saw one of those before in Charlotte, look pretty cool. Still I think I'm gonna stick with a car lol.

hehe. im just searching around the area. im looking at lawnmower places to. i was thinkin of a scooter but im out in the open riding it and something might happen.

Yeah that's why I'm sticking to my car. I wouldn't mind having one for going to local spots though.
