1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

If he's local, I'd start with popping the hood and having a look yourself and you'll easily figure it out when ya see it

No chance he can get it towed to his house to work on there instead?

 

It'd be basically just checking if the fan will spin right? And if it doesnt, then its either a fan clutch or fan bracket bearing?

Not sure, he's looking for help getting it moved home so I imagine he's trying to avoid paying the couple hundred to get it towed.
Figured if it was something simple like swapping the fan clutch it wouldn't be that bad to do there

 

Fan clutch comes off easily - I'd be worried about the pulley bracket behind it so check that out

Unless it's a pulley that seized and tossed the accessory belt?

Insurance should cover towing, unless the OP there is on liability or something

 

insurance? that cuts into the fun budget

 

I haven't contacted him outside that one comment on his thread so I don't know anything else lol

But since his last thread was from February asking about the squealing, seems its been sitting the last 6 months there. Bet if he had free towing coverage it'd be used by now

 

I am starting to lean more towards thinking its the pulley bracket, based on the last 10 minutes of research lol
Bc if the fan clutch was seized it would spin still, and if its worn out and free-spinning, it should spin at least a little

Unless its like you said with the belt getting tossed

 

My gf got an awd 1st gen CRV and its actually pretty badass

Kinda want to lift it and put 31s on it but it'll be dog slow

 

@time623

 

I’ve always had a soft spot for those, I drove a friends years ago that was a manual and it was a blast!

Love that electron blue pearl too!

 

I'm sorry come again...

 

Do you also use your fun budget for county jail bail?

 

these days I'm gonna need at least a 12 window for that to happen

 

I don't know Mr proven track record. Aren't you due for your third gremlin any minute?

 

thats a weird way to ask if im coming to visit you at work

 

yea the pills might help with that

 

due date is Halloween so gremlin is kinda on point lol

 

That dude who got arrested for tying weather balloons to a lawn chair back in the 70s and floating himself up to 16k feet into LAX airspace had his craft put up in the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum lol.

 

The important question is....does it have the table?

 

going with a halloween themed name? lol

 

I'm voting for Golgotha: Destroyer of Destiny... But I suppose Melody sounds nice too
