hey guys:
went to look at the 97 tonight. they actually had a 96 there too!, 161,000km on it. 2.2L (maybe they didn't even make 2.5's in '96 - i wouldn't know for sure... ) - it looked and sounded better under the hood than the '97! - had power windows too ! and all the tires were the same size - bonus! and non-interference engine is really comforting!
anyway, the car seems great!, just have to see past the used interior.... i was wondering though: it currently has 185/70/R14's on it. would a 205/70/R14 work on this car?, have any of you ran this size tire on such a car?, i've got great set of snow tires in this size, so just wondering...
ohh, and i took it to a parking lot and did a few doughnuts wound out in first to check for "binding" in the drivetrain - NONE. sounded and ran smooth while going in circles. i've read that this is a good test for the tranny/diff - but not sure exactly what the test checks for?, ie, what is this "binding" probelm?
thanks everyone. Happy driving.
just viewed my posting, i had to edit and say sorry for so many face icons there - not hard to tell i'm new at this eh?, hahahaa
