Hey all, its been awhile since I have posted. Just thought I'd see if there was anything to look forward to when my '02 hit 100K. Aside from the fact that t will probably burst into flames or something LOL. 2200SFI with a 5 speed in it btw. Little info on what its like as of now. When cold it sounds like a diesel, randomly stalls, but no CEL(during those times) also has times when the CEL comes on and it runs like a new car go figure. I have yet to actually see any codes though as nothing ever comes up. Headlight wiring has been bypassed, has a switch powering 4 relays( 2 for low beam and 2 for hi beam),100/80W headlights wired with 12ga. wire so that the headlights are somewhat useful at night. Thanks for any infor, or comments. Feel free to laugh LOL.
Change the tranny fluid (syncromesh)
80/100watt bulbs are not good, and could cause a fire, most normal bulbs are like 55/60 or so.
80/100s are rewired, the stock wiring is tied up and sealed. I used 4 relays(1 for hi and in for low beam for each headlight. It is all wired with 12ga wire from the battery to the relays and relay to headlights. All the stock headlight switch does is turn on the park lights now. No chance of a fire there. The problem I have with the lights is that they aren't focused well, they work more like flood lights. I can jump in my truck or RX-7 and can actually see the road ahead of me, these, you can't. Hence the reason for the 80/100s and the upgraded wiring(made them work a bit better). Tranny fluid is on my list but may not be able to get to that for about another month, along with the oil. Am I going to have to start worrying about the fuel pump, and other junk like that? I have already done 1 wheel bearing at 65k. so it kind of worries me. It just has to get me 'till spring, I'm planning on picking up a smashed one with a 2.4 or eco to maybe get some gas milage out of this car. So as long as it can hold on till I fix and insure my rx-7 it 's all good LOL.
damn man... thats quite a bit of mileage for an 02! my 98 has 95,XXX
and my 97 has 83,XXX!!!!!
I get bored and drive alot. My gas bill is around $460 - $500 a month for this car. So I can put on about 475km a week(4 days actually) back and forth to work. Its sad because my big block powered '77 Dodge pickup runs cheaper on propane then the cavi.
