R.I.Peices, ode to the M42

[JPL]

hey where did you get your french high beams or how do you get them?

[nando]

that's crazy, my buddie's M42 has has 227k and it's still going.. chain sounds awful though.

I don't understand what you guys are afraid about. M20 guys have to replace the belt at 60k, and that's just as detailed as changing the chain on the M42.

The system begins to show wear around 100k, and if you're that worried...

you are on crack.. no way in hell changing the chain on an M42 is as easy as the belt on an M20.

uh oh, my 103k m42 timing chain must be on borrowed time!

It's no where near as hard as people make it out to be.

no, but its more then a timing belt on an m20.

[Skafrog]

WTF.
That sucks man. Maybe it's time to make it rev 2.0 with some ellipsoids and an m50 :)

[thumper3ld]

Well, im at 205k and the car still seems to be running strong. If it survives the winter, then maybe i'll consider changing it. Good luck with the swap.

Alright, I will talk slow for the rubberneckers who just want to feed off of others missfortunes. IT HAPPENED TODAY. I don't know about you "grapedrink" but some of us have lives outside of the Star Trek and Lord of the Rings genre. So put down your action figures and take a look at a Victorias Secret catalog, you might learn something about yourself, like your a loser. So stop drilling on the fact that there is no pictures, besides, it looks normal, no holes, no big oil slick and no smoke.


Now go back to your closet and tell Yoda he is your idol.




There, that ought to make for interesting conversation for those who are filled with internet courage.........

Let the stone throwing begin.

Yeah, you'll have to excuss me, I am still "worried" about the people who just want to see a trashed car, oh wait a minute, no I'm not........ Their time is coming,,,,,tick,tick,,,booom.


M50 = yes
ellipsoids= after I sell another lung....
