1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Today, I'm cleaning and baselining the rear suspension before I work to replace stuff. I pulled the rear bumper last night. The spare lock was frozen so I had to pull it by releasing the cross member. I'm not putting any part of that factory spare hardware back on. Glad to get the rear bumper spare going.

This thing hasn't been abused. Some neglect, but not abuse. I'm just looking for anything that seems to be out of place. The bushings look ok for being this old.

 

What is your exhaust coated in? Everything looks so greasy down there. I kinda like it but it also kinda freaks me out.

 

That rig is way too clean underneath

 

Don't worry. I'm just cleaning it. It will dry soon and look normal.

 

I didn't realize the 100 series had such different exhaust routing. I had space between my frame and body where the exhaust goes, yours seems entirely below the frame. Even when I had all my exhaust replaced they still ran it over and the guy said it was super convenient

 

Seriously. You could have a dinner party under there.

 

Are you a simple green kinda guy? I seem to have my best luck cutting through heavy grease and dirt and not screwing up paint finishes with simple green

 

Simple green fan here

 

I use to have to mop the machine shop floor with simple green, other people hate it but I love the smell

 

I use it and Purple Power. I usually start by giving whatever I'm working on a spray down with old original formula Gunk or Kerosene and ATF mixed. It's more like kerosene in an aerosol can.

I'm going to try something new with the pressure washer in a foam cannon attachment using Murphy's Oil Soap.

 

You forgot the me takeing your R12 out fee

 

What is this part that houses the coolant temp sensor call?

 

In that case he should add -

Description---------------------Cost
Miguel's Friendship---------------My sanity

 

I don't mind the smell.

On the subject of degreasing and such, what's best to remove transmission fluid?

Had a seep again at the pan (or dipstick tube end) and it had covered my axle, driveshaft, and gas tank skid.

Unsure if simple green removed it all since the last time I washed underneath I did it quickly to see if the pan was seeping anymore; it's been bone dry since I cleaned underneath.

 

New tire came in it's a rotation tire.

 

The usual low mileage Viper

 

Man that's a disappointment Lol i always did like the viper

 

Newer one was nice to drive around (granted it was a short test drive).

Same lack of engagement "feeling" from the clutch on both the Viper and Hellcat Challenger

 

Nice

 

Damn, how many pesos did it run me?
